Reply #5: It starts with DU, and it has to move beyond.

There has never been a better system to organize a revolution than the internet.

Revolutions do not take place in the streets, they take place in our minds. If we can change the behavior of enough people, then this system will come down. The only thing that prevents the right thing from happening is what's in the minds of the people of our country.

They don't need to be egalitarians, they just need to be greedy. For their own selfish self-interests, the people of this nation must change their minds, and then on a set day in the future, all at once, change their behavior.

If we protest or riot, they can lock us in free speech zones or beat, taze, gas, shoot and bomb us to death. On the other hand, if we stay de-centralized and work on changing people's minds, they simply cannot take down that many people. They can shut down the internet, but then that will force people into the streets, and there would be no reason to shut it down until it was too late, because once the threat is large enough to merit action, it is over.

The goal is to change minds, change behavior, and then change the world.

The only thing holding us back is what's going on in our heads. They can have guns, but if no one supports them, including the people who fire the guns, then they lose their power. It's all mental, there is no real way that a few thousand or even tens of thousands of people can control millions.

Tyrants and oligarchs have used fear of their "power" throughout history to rule the people, but the only power they have is fear. If you deny them the fear, you deny them their power.
