Yes, we cottoned onto this many years ago, most #philanthropy is #fauxlanthropy.

A brilliant documentary on how #thePeople have been systematically transitioned from being an active '#citizen' to a docile '#consumer' is The Century Of The Self (#AdamCurtis/BBC, 2002).

It cover a suite of propaganda techniques used to #engineerConsent for all manner of abuse by large #corporations.

Breaking up monopolies is a built-in feature of bitcoin. Monopolies only got to where they are by borrowing large amounts they can only do that on a #fiatCurrency system.

A concerted effort by #thePeople to reject dotCons is vital for their breakup, now. It's too difficult politically to #breakThemUp if dotCons can #blackmail as they did in #Australia, 2021. Falsebook and Goo' cut us off from #mainstreamNews outlets.

Grassroots #activism is needed.

@nwchapman it's all just pushing people on the lower levels of the caste around to the benefit of those with money who are naturally existentially afraid of said people, being members of higher levels of the caste ...but #thepeople will flow like water

UNITING PEOPLE

Uniting people can be a challenging task, but there are several strategies that can help. Here are some tips:

Focus on what unites people, not what divides them: To lead effectively in a time of division, focus on what unites the people you lead, not on what divides them
. Start with some very basic things. At the core, we all have our common humanity. We’re all people
.

Manage conflict productively: Conflict can be a major source of division, so it's important to manage it productively. This means being invested in maintaining the relationship, committed to finding win/win solutions, and willing to participate in open and honest communication
.

Build trust: Trust is essential for a cohesive team. Get to know your employees - their hobbies, families, interests, values, work styles, and communication preferences. This can help build trust and create a sense of unity
.

Establish a common mission: A cohesive team requires a common mission. Make sure everyone is on board with the mission and understands their role in achieving it.

Take action: Uniting people often requires action. This can include holding campaigns, protests, keeping in contact with political actors, and providing legal services to families who can't afford them
.

Master the superpowers that unite people: According to Talenttalks, there are three superpowers that can unite people and make wonders: empathy, curiosity, and vulnerability.

Unite people of goodwill throughout the world: According to Share The World's Resources (STWR), the one solution that remains is to unite the people of goodwill throughout the world, which is our last hope for social transformation on a global scale

@charlesornstein@newsie.social The more the deep, long-standing, widespread corruption is revealed, the more it is a call to #ThePeople to let it go & start building anew. A new society, a new country, that is based instead on #community #cooperation #compassion #TrueEquality #inclusion & sharing of our abundant resources. We don’t have to continue to live like this, we don’t have to die like this. We can rethink it. Create it. It’s time. What kind of country do you want to live in?
We can do this.🌎

@cookie_mumbles IMO there’s no coincidences in life - everything happens for a reason. Twitter’s imploding bc it does not serve us well, doesn’t serve the #HighestGood of #ThePeople. We were being programmed w/ anger, negativity, discord & division. The old ways are crumbling.

The #Fediverse gives us a new chance to build the 🌎 we want to live in. I choose #kindness #compassion #community #diversity #inclusion #ThoughtfulDiscussion. I chose #love

Grateful to you all for sharing the journey. ✨

@Melody Change starts with us. You followed your heart. It’s terrible what is happening in #education in Texas and similar states. It’s up to #ThePeople. We are the government. Is this the way they want to live?

#ChangeStartsWithUs

🎧 #YouTube served up some #ZZTop. I thought: "Haven't heard or read the name "Greg Abbott" since escaping the #hellsite.

▶️ In 1975, when ZZTop recorded "Heard it on the X," #Texas had a #Democratic #Governor, Dolph Briscoe Jr. An upstanding and benevolent child of Texas. Briscoe was a richaf rancher—at one point the largest landowner in the state—but he extended a hand back, down, across the aisle to lift others. As #Democrats do.

@potus & @vp Thx for #GovernWithCare. Plz #ReframeRegulation to #PublicProtection. #ThePeople of #EastPalestine want public protection vs regulation. Tell Secretary Pete Buttigieg #ReframingIsChange.

The article answers how a company is allowed to grow to such a point where is has such sheer dominance.

There is no "human nature" about it. Humans resist and are highly skeptical of #monopolyFormation. It takes an amount of coersion and #collusion, often in the form of paid #lobbyists (4 per #politician today?) to #policymakers to engineer outcomes that repeatedly serve special interests over #thePeople.

The #corporateCapture of govt is not normal. It's #fascism.

If refugees are accepted, the accepting country, in my opinion, should from then on be responsible for these refugees. They should protect, feed, and house them, take care of their health.
In an era of being in it for egoistic reasons it would be good if governments understood this: you are not here for your personal gain. You are here for the people in your country, and responsible for them. For all of them.

Remember too that #JamieRaskin , in the midst of grieving the recent tragic death of his son, agreed to #StandUp to lead trump’s second impeachment trial.

@Sh4d0w_H34rt I can’t tell you how fucking tired I am of empty rhetoric that becomes Sophistry. I’m so tired of not having Champions for the People who have the courage to fight. I mean damn, there are single moms not knowing where their kids’ next meal will come from. If you have/do experience extreme Poverty and still try to make it, you are a Hero. I have been there. I promise I/we will fight for you. #thepeople #politics #leftism #endpoverty #eattherich #johnmastodon #tuesday

If this #technology is TRULY used for #TheGood of #ThePeople it could mean unlimited, cheap, clean power for all. It could even mean #FreeEnergy.

#FusionScience could “bring electricity to the grid with no carbon 👣 , no radioactive waste & far fewer resources than it takes to harness ☀️& 💨power. Beyond #ClimateBenefits …it could help bring cheap electricity to impoverished parts of the 🌍.”

I have concluded that it’s not actually #ThePeople I object to when I go out into #TheWorld …

It’s #TheStupid. #TheStupid is everywhere #OutThere.
