Here’s a really good video by Barry’s Economics on the topic:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=n_lgy337KiAOne of the most powerful beliefs in modern politics isn’t a policy. It’s the belief that nothing can change.
You hear it everywhere and I feel it too. Most of us do.
But the strange thing is that when researchers study how change actually happens, they keep finding the opposite. Social change rarely arrives because everybody suddenly agrees. It often begins with surprisingly small groups of people connected in the right ways, reaching a tipping point that makes what seemed impossible suddenly feel inevitable.
40 years of neoliberalism sacrificed community to the altar of individualism. Everyone was brainwashed to think they don’t live in a society and only themselves matter.
Okay nope.
Fuck that. There are like 100 people rolling the planet right now. Do not spread their bullshit onto the population.
True, and the message can be applied as “what can I do about them and the systems they control? I’m only one person”
