Not a surprise to me that John Brown didn't have a good field network together for Harpers Ferry. He was a firebrand who rubbed a lot of people the wrong way, and those types are never good at creating social networks around themselves.
Really timely advice. I think disconnecting from the algorithms and the internet generally is critical to disempowering the billionaires and protecting our health. Individuals can do a lot at the personal level, get rid of all smart devices that aren't absolutely essential and use them strategically rather than compulsively.
I love the idea of a return to print based communication. I'm inspired by the idea of gathering people to hand produce communications, making the production and distribution of the message collaborative and hands-on. The antithesis of AI.
Thanks for dropping by, Robyn! We, the people, should consider what lies in our toolbox. The capitalists have their money, but we have the people. US Presidents keep passing along their dictator's toolkit to their successors, so the people must wisen up, as well.
We've been warned for years. I could write an entire series on the US govt's surveillance programs. Needless to say, we have dedicated intelligence programs for every continent. That's why we can't afford to take care of our citizens' needs, because we must dominate on the global theater. 🙄
