7. I do not disagree

With having a vision, building or rebuilding. However the US is not wartime Britain and I doubt that a great percentage of folk, immersed as they are in the soporific glow of social media, are prepared to admit, even to themselves exactly how much danger they are in.

This is not a fight for idealists and dreamers although there a place for them will be found. This is a fight for gritty realists, lovers of justice, the tough, the determined and the brave.

Fighting does not mean social media posts or videos. You're preaching to the converted. It's nothing more than a media churn of monetising YouTube channels. Personally, I'm sick to death of everyone who sets up a channel for political opinions and wastes half an hour to impart one minute of relevant information.

It's hypnosis by media, where the subjugated really believe they have a say in events but they do not. I'm sorry this is happening, but it will take REAL action to effect change.
