    Until those that finally put in the effort to organize past the censored calls to action get led around by the nose of some controlled opposition “grassroots” bullshit that is still meant to ensure nothing really changes

      The interesting part of all this to me is that it makes me wonder if religious centers will find new life in this context — being places where non-family support each other financially during collective action.

      I’m not talking mega churches here, but community churches, mosques and synagogues that still exist within suburban communities.

        They already are. That’s part of what makes religion so difficult to excise.

        They’re filling an ancient psychological social need, and we already know many will stay members of cults they know are false due to the community and perceived social support it provides.
