I, like many others, have been growing increasingly restless about the progression of fascism in the US.
Our government is not benefiting the people.
98% of Americans would agree, but no one can agree on which politician is to blame.
So we watch videos of other countries protesting, and we read tweets that condemn the actions of the horrors we see around us, and it creates a false sense of accomplishment.
But we aren’t making any lasting changes with this.
We need to band together and make real plans to work towards a government that benefits the people.
My idea: we can make subreddits or [other social media things] for individual cities and specific areas of the country. In these online spaces; we can schedule public meetings, generate fundraising campaigns, plan workers strikes, etc.
I can’t be the only person that is trying this idea, and this post will likely get lost in oblivion, but I really believe we can use social media to get the ball-rolling on powerful workers movements.
Every successful counterculture movement in US history was started by a group of people with some ideas. So lets try, who has some ideas?
