Looking for thoughts and (if there’s other people on the same train) direction, I’ve felt helpless for so long, but this kind of feels like it might be something. Is it? / how does it sound to you? Im going to give this documentary RB is on about a watch first (if anyone wants to join me) and see what thoughts and feelings arise from it...

The above was actually part 2 thoughts. I’ll share you part 1 now. It was a thought train set off by one of Russell Brands videos. I’ll post the link to it here with my introductory blurb, as well with a screenshot to my conversation about it. I and a few friends have made quite a few posts (Facebook) about the frustrating ironic inertia in social media where a great amount of knowledge is available and shared displaying the incompetence and corruption of people in power that simply wasn’t available before the internet, and yet, the platform for response has not made the equivalent evolution, it’s very ironic. Many of us who have remarked on this issue are sitting on a spectrum between: happy trundling along, aware of it but not identifying with it, and/or, frustrated and worried about where things are going and desperately wanting direction. I really liked this video because it hit this irony and the issues within this spectrum with some useful “doing” thoughts and ideas, rather than the bottomless pit of thoughts and ideas that are valid and insightful but have little direction or application. I’m definitely going to look up this documentary he’s on about. Changes do need to come from within, but, I wonder what would happen if a mass wave of people started deleting social media/networking apps etc and switching off their phones?...Not as a one off, but as a direct social intervention/action carrying a message.

THE POWER IS IN THE PEOPLE, yes. But how can we most effectively exercise it? They can’t arrest you for deleting all social media and networking outlets and switching off your phone...and yet, these are their most needed outlets of control....#achillesheal To save me having to copy and paste, and rewrite everything, I’m just going to screenshot the thread I just created in Facebook.

Hey, I’m new, I’ve only really got one post (for now) but thought it would be weird if I just turned up and posted it without a “hello” first lol. Ive followed Icke and this forum a few times in the past and a lot of stuff resonates with me. I’m doing my post in the solutions thread cause I had an interesting train of thought today and interested to either: find other people who’ve had similar and are further along with it, or share and see where it goes. It’s one of those things that’s obvious and everyone knows, but sometimes can open up in different ways when shared in different ways.
