What are the ways to disempower the 1% and empower the 99%?

submitted by EddieC from self.WritingsOnTheWall

 
The 1% rules the 99%
because the 99% "lets" them AND
because dissidents are led by "resistance leaders" @ mind gatekeepers, away from what matters most: decentering the 1%.

 
Let's discuss the ways to disempower the 1% and empower the 99%, non-violently.

 

  1. What if we decorporatized our pension funds
    Our savings fund BlackRock; they in turn finance oppression of the 99%
    We should seek direct control over what is already legally ours to begin with - our savings, our wealth - to substantially remove economic power from / disempower the 1%, whilst empowering the 99% (more later)
     
  2. What if we bypassed the State, Corporate & Media Hierarchy
    Everyone - The Public & Public Servants*
    can make Direct Change by having
    Direct, Holistic & Accretive Dialogue
    for Continuous Improvement
    at a community-runned, Public Wall
    -- rather than narrow spectrum, ephemeral, idle chatter
    thus bypassing the State, Corporate & Media Hierarchy
    (*all spheres + publicly, privately or self-employed)
     
    Meanwhile, let's have accretive dialogue on SaidIt with pinned posts
     
  3.  

 
Please add below your idea(s) below

The great ones and their upholders are being genocided by Her Divinity until they bend the knee or give Her Divinity love & all attribution.

The people can go with them if they refuse the same.

Never mind unbelievers, Her Divinity can make more people any time...if She wants them.

Why the committment to nonviolence? Think of the violence they've done to all of us; it's only the enormous scale of the thing that separates it from a situation that would, if condensed into a handful of individuals, be blazingly obvious grounds for justifiable homicide.

They believe they are superior to us, that they are entitled to preferential treatment and totally different standards; I understand logistical problems, but by insisting on nonviolence right out the gate, don't we just ratify that conceit?

Look at the first example that I gave - there are many more
We are already and firmly on the moral high ground - that even the Order Executors of the 1% can easily see for themselves and cannot deny
-- they and their families are subject to it too

 
Violence would only sully our moral high ground and give cause for them to unleash greater violence upon dissidents
-- including / especially the non-violent ones that they would otherwise not be able to touch
The mind gatekeepers working for the 1% are already stoking their unsuspecting followers with vague chants of "revolution"
The 1% are waiting for the chance to shut down all real dissent.
Q: Why let them?

 
Violence only begets violence:

The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy,
instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it.
Through violence you may murder the liar, but you cannot murder the lie, nor establish the truth.
Through violence you may murder the hater, but you do not murder hate.
In fact, violence merely increases hate.
Returning violence for violence multiplies violence,
adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that.
