    The only answer is that there is no action you can take that will assure you of that. If you do nothing, it is certain to happen should they succeed. If you do something it is possible that will happen and we succeed in stopping them. Or that we all die in the fires together.

    Or we could stop them and you will all live. That’s is the best case, but not guaranteed. What do you want to work for? Your family is in danger now. Currently.

      This is a beautiful sentiment that I’ve already passed. I want better, I want to be part of making better, but I do not know how to do that and apparently no one else does either because every time it comes up I get this this same answer. Where is our MLK, where is our Malcolm X, where is the map I need to be more than scared and alone?

        Stop subscribing to great man theory. Learn from the Black Panthers and how they organized.

          I reached out to see if there’s any active members in my area. I’m already another warm body on a stat list for so many things, I don’t have faith in that going far.

          I don’t need a slogan to chant, I need a general to follow.

            Nobody is coming to save you, you must save yourself. Nobody is ever going to be more interested in your liberation than you are.

              This attitude of the Americans emboldened my theory that they are 100% willing to send the rest of the world into extinction just to protect their own comfort.
