Protests: are you having an impact?
Protest is the best tool for the elites to control you. Why?
Because it is their playground. They let you take specific streets for a few hours to vent your anger and then they know you will go back home and get back to your good little citizen role. Correct?
Many of you don’t like to hear this but this is what is true. Once you have understood that protests aim at channeling your anger, and your emotions and will not trigger change, you stop going there and you start allocating your time, money, and energy where they have an impact: trading locally, organizing local events, informing folks locally, …
These actions have way more impact because they change behaviors. People who attend local events and experience the value of doing activities such as trading products, and services, skilling up, and learning about resilience won’t go to protest. They know there is no value.
A protest does not change behavior. You go back home and you continue to hope until the next protest where you vent your anger or whatever emotion you need to get rid of. But, at the end of the day, your situation does not improve. Your money problems are still here and they get worse. The physical and mental health doesn’t improve.
Protests are an illusion of hope. You think that because there are so many People the elites will be scared. The reality is that they are not. They laugh at these protests because they know that protest is their playground. They literally give you access to their own playground where they supervise your activities. Not only this but they collect data on who you are and what you do.
If you are spending time in protests i would invite you to try something else and see the difference for yourself. Try local events that create value for men and women such as events related to healing, improving physical health, discussing local resilience, sharing food surplus,
