Great job Carey!, You are one of the rare anarchists who stick to the root cause of the problem - the myth of authority. If you like, please consider subscribing to my own Substack, "From the White Pillbox". It takes this subject head on. I suggest starting at the deep dive into the myth of authority.

Why haven't Amerikans been taking action decades ago? It may surprise many people but, these issues are not new. The Abusers that Be have been ENABLED by the people instead of challenged BY them for decades.

Too many of us have lived with abuses of "power" right in the "home" by "parents". The abusive, dysfunctional "family", child abuse, dysfunctional "community" has been written about for ions.

My healthy mind/body was intuitively challenging Abusive "parents" since the 70s.

I WAS THE ONE PEOPLE CRIMINALIZED, TREATED LIKE I HAD NO RIGHTS, LIKE I WAS HERE TO FUND MY ABUSERS. They never had to change, apologize, admit any wrong doing. THEY WERE THE ONES EVERYONE EXCUSED AND ENABLED FOR 55 yrs!

I don't know about you but, this is Not difficult MATH to do! I've been reading 📚 and trying to speak and teach about healthy relationship skills for 5 decades. Active listening, mirroring techniques, and to just call out the frauds in "authority", hold them responsible.

NOPE!

Does Anyone have Any idea of the Stats on child abuse by "parents" in the US? The ACE study, Adverse Childhood Experiences questionaire?

I followed health and fitness mentally physically and spiritually since the 70s due to the BLATANT War on our health.

Most Amerikans don't even know or practice healthy boundaries.

BASIC HEALTH has been Sacrificed for Man made DEBT $ longer than I've been alive.

All USraelis needed to do was put TRUE VALUE first decades ago for it to be blossoming 🌸 today. But they didn't.

The entire system has been about Sacrificing the most vulnerable over Decades. The masses unconsciously helped!

[the trick or challenge (I'm struggling with) is to maintain strength of discipline in the face of so much ignorance when seeking to "work together" in a system that values $$$ even in your "network". I mean its the "creator-economy" (charlatans/proselytizers; no offense... descriptive) or.... ? eventually it comes down to "real-products" / "real-economy" / "real-jobs" (don't get me started on technology-gaps. we live in a dystopia of unevenly distributed tech). Then strip it all away and you get down to: what value can you provide that someone is willing to pay for? In the end it seems the only answer after shrugging off the programmatic-chains of the "gov't" is to simply be a hardcore capitalist: sell something people want to buy and influence through your network of customers. the medium is the massage i guess. Thanks for the reading! ]

Just saying quick like, please include an [image] I can gank. I make all kinds of coversheets for Activist Post & Substacks, nearly always beginning with their base boring image.

Reason being if I attempt to share the [Link] to here in the feed on the Minds platform, no one will see. However, if I put a postcard sized, glaringly obnoxious, [relevant "Do Nothing After Voting"] that YOU feel somewhat approximates your {feels ;^}> of the least important aspect of the article tacked on around even over then the old curmudgeons there will notice.

I could just put a sexy image of you burning your draft card & they'd at least see you, but " More broadly, while it's an important question, it highlights the widespread tendency to wait for someone else to solve our problems. " a quote (totally random grab from the bottom 8^ ) along with what I feel, as an old man, the key words in image form from say Deviant Art then they can see [fluorescent spray paint can writing tendency with a chrome 3D question mark] as well as a pair of daisy dukes.

[gal on tippy toes hanging bound with arm shackles to a gold ingot labeled voted]

That will be "too busy" however, they will see the title, & eventually recognize your name (even though I'm following you like I've been following Corbett for a decade?)

There are a fair number of anarchists on Minds, all 8 of us, but the more Conservative bending rather than Republican bent see us as valuable pets.

I obviously gave typing this no thought! So forgive my American English. Please & thank you. I'll put just popping it up without the image as a name recognition quiz...3,2,1 now.

Cherish is the new love, be well. May God nod to ward thee & thine!

yer great reads, refreshing too
