Lose the savior complex my friend and do something yourself on a local level. They only own us cause we allow it. Put down the phone, computer, turn off the technology and tune out for a bit. Go outside. Spend a little less, or even better, live under the poverty line so we can starve them of our tax dollars. Use you dollar power locally. Find a local rancher buy beef, eggs, etc., on a local level. Stop going to Walmart or Albertsons. Get off social media. Stop giving them you hard earned attention. No one is going to save you, you need to rise up and take individual responsibility for what is happening in our society. We all need to rise up and take more individual responsibility. We need to lose this savior complex that has shown throughout history to be a lie.

Hear, hear! Localism and barter will help. Starve the beast of globalism.

It's hard for them since it has been programmed into their brains at every turn. I remember when I watched the movie V for Vendetta, the end scene where all the people in masks march toward the troops unarmed, only to have the troops stand down and let them pass. Their messiah V had empowered them. Neo in the Matrix, Riddic, Jason bourne, Luke Skywalker, the Equalizer, Blade, Dracula Untold, terminator and sarah conner, priest... The list is endless and the message is clear, you don't need to do ANYTHING but await the messiah. This is social programming on a Grand scale and it is a big part of why people just continue leading their daily lives to their own destruction i believe. trump was a messiah to many, so was Obama no doubt.

I agree with your other points too, live away from the cities as an authentic person, avoiding all the mainstream bullshit. Except Ebay! Ebay has bargains too good to pass up lol.
