    You and I are from a similar age-cohort, and I see the same problems you see.

    I don't understand how people don't recognize that what we now have is corporate tyranny. "Politics" is distracting people from the reality that the organizations with the greatest power - who buy the politicians they want - are the corporate behemoths. And they are accountable to nobody. Their shareholders? The people running those companies are each other's shareholders. If people were to focus on these organizations, more could be accomplished. But instead, Bernay's methods are turned against our population and we are sold any variety of "enemies" to focus on instead. And it works.

    The best we can do is talk to people. Stay calm and explain what we see. I've reached a few this way, and a few is better than none. Definitely a battle for hearts and minds at this point.

    Age cohort? unusual language usage. https://saidit.net/s/debatealtright/comments/5hpw/saidit_is_shaping_up_well_dont_fuck_this_up/

    (See the middle of the last paragraph)

    Let's get that across and convey that we're basically just men from before 1980, there is nothing radical or special here that makes us fanatics/monsters.

    What's this all about?

    I'm not sure I understand your question? I'll grant what I wrote is a weird and awkward way of saying he and I are about the same age, but what are you implying with What's this all about? It's not about anything. I sometimes talk weird; just a quirk of my brain.

    Oh, I don't try to change anyone's minds or hearts. I tried getting people to see these things we write about for years. No one wants to hear this kinda personal truth of our shard future. Look at Tom Bombadil in the comment below yours...no thoughts shared about the subject of the post. What is he the thought police for saidit.net? The thing I don't get is what does your word choice have anything to do with this post and the comments? I appreciate your reply to him and then.........crickets.....crickets from Mr. Bombadil.
