so do you want people to sit by and allow things to happen and shut up OR NOT?!?
dude, what is wrong with your brain?!?!
I know my view is hard to understand, it needs beer and verbal communication, not typing...but i'll try
You will not beat the state, ever. No movement has ever rebelled successfully. There has never been a popular revolution. There will never be a revolution. Civilization cannot allow it.
The reactions of the protesters are dangerous to the state, it makes them nervous. The state are people with families, not deities, they have fear and passion just like you.
There are people in the system fighting for you like you wouldn't believe, it's why things aren't as bad as they could be. All these movements do is discredit their arguments about the goodness of self governance and the people's innate goodness.
Don't you see a rift being driven between us? 99% vs 1%...THATS the only reason they're mobilizing to protest; seemingly overwhelming odds in their favor. They want to force their masters into submission, and their masters are growing afraid, and are purchasing bodyguard police forces.
But enough of this, let's get constructive, how to solve:
1. Lower your personal debt
2. Vote
3. Get involved SOME WAY that isn't reactionary; build something
4. Try to create jobs and employ people; you can't count on corps.
5. Educate yourself on statehood/civil responsibility
6. Don't be afraid of what might come; don't fear success or failure
#6 is absurd because with all this shit going on, how can you not fear? This: You will die one day, you don't know that day; there is a power greater than you that you cannot do anything about. Do the best you can, here, now, for as many as you can. But REALLY help them, educate them, teach them what's going on and if THEY decide to get radical, that was their choice. Don't inflame their passions, show them all sides of the story.
OMG EXAMPLE!!!!!
Ever hear that Europe was a 'backwards' uncivilized place in school in the middle ages? Ever wonder or ask why that was? Why were Europeans so dumb and the Islamic world so rich in culture and science at the time?...The Ottoman Empire goddamn RAPED Europe of their natural resources, returned little to no finished goods, but stole SO much material resources trading only wealth to the elites. Europe replicated this with the idea of Mercantilism/Colonialism, the idea of taking natural resources from a colony and selling back finished goods, but they fucked up and treated the US like the Ottomans treated Europe. THIS is why we're in the Middle East now, 1000 year old revenge (that we allowed to happen based on our need to be safe). Did you ever hear this version of history? Probably not, because it doesn't look good on our civilization to be built on an idea so reactionary and vengeful and would go to such lengths to "balance their accounts."
If you've watched the movie Network, it's that speech about the ebb-and-flow of global dollars. It's all an equalizing operation that so far supersedes individual desires that even the elites get fucked in the process. It is a power greater than all of us, but to understand it is to know how it functions and to find peace. It is an order that is global, and ancient, and will never change. You can get philosophical/religious as to why that is.
If you "Let Go" and try to see the reasons for our modern world, you will find such a tranquility. Fortunes come and go. The state does not hate you if you work to increase love. That does not mean give in to the state, or that the state is kind, but it does imply you cannot fight it head on. Europe has waited centuries to get back at the Islamic world, and to some degree, this is a cleansing that WILL happen, and to think any sort of logic or reason will stop it will be met with disappointment.
