Actually, it’s made this one of the trending posts. Which means more people see it. Which… Can lead to important conversations.
Also, the rise of the Nazi party happened because people allowed it to happen.
Most folks tend to follow the herd.
(Or the flock, if you prefer.)
When people see that other people aren’t going to tolerate it…
… That can help to spark/motivate others to actually organize
… To lead to a movement.

Thom Hartmann on the real history of the Boston Tea Party (they organized in top-secret, and it was about corporate cross-Atlantic (global-trade supply-chains/globalization) high finance, tax exemptions for the wealthy and subsidies. And kind of like Walmart, which was driving local/Indy Tea businesses on the North American continent out from under by giving unfair advantages to the British crown’s East India Tea Company (W Military)

Look buddy, let me make this actually simple for you:
Your reading list is peak “I just discovered politics” energy. Throwing around Nazi references while recommending Malcolm Gladwell knockoffs? Really? That’s like citing Wikipedia while claiming to be a history professor.
Actually changing things = understanding that real systemic change doesn’t come from your curated bookshop.org shopping cart. Your “movement action plan” reads like a LinkedIn influencer’s guide to revolution.
And that Boston Tea Party comparison? Please. You’re basically saying “let me explain this complex historical event by oversimplifying it into a Walmart analogy.” The irony of using corporate metaphors to explain anti-corporate action is just chef’s kiss.
The “dandelion rebellion”? Sounds like something a marketing team came up with after their third espresso. Next you’ll tell me we should organize via TikTok dance challenges.
Catch my drift or need me to recommend some actual hands-on experience instead of your self-help revolution reading club?
