People becomin too passive?

I did it all in my teens and 20's and people thought it was ridiculous. It's just a phase! All kids do that! Eventually I'll want to settle down! It's not a big deal!

Well screw you people. I'm too old for this shit now. I'll just continue my protest of being 10 years behind in technology and never ever owning a smartphone.
 
Why is speaking online being considered a non-action? Is it only online speech or is all speech (f2f) less influential than actions? Would that make all public speakers invalid? Would Martin Luther King Jr. have been just as influential without have giving any speech?

I understand the dichotomy typically associated between words and actions and is perfectly valid, but I think the opposite can also be true in certain circumstances. Sometimes it may be the only thing that matters.

I didn't say it is a non action (if you mean me). Some people are just all talk, have you ever heard of that phrase? Because politicians (at least in my town) aren't watching their facebook and then starting new legislation based on the meme I posted to their feed. How inspired can you be reading MLK vs being at the event when he first spoke? A lot of the people who need to be out there changing things are stuck between choosing to go march vs going to work work to feed their kids. to change things you have to be physically there changing it, possibly making people uncomfortable and inconvenienced, sometimes becoming a martyr, and once in a while assassinating someone.
 
Not enough upper middle class white people available for a rebellion

lol

I think you are being a bit harsh on blue collar trade union workers. The trade unions have been under sustained attack for a long time

Also 'working class' people used to be very literate and well read in some places. Noam Chomsky speaks about this as the environment that he grew up in

if you watch that film 'road to perdition' there is a ncie scene where they go to chicago and there is a hall full of rows of people reading newspapers!

people were absorbing lots of info but J.P.Morgan who was an agent of the rothschild family got his agents to find out what the 20 most popular newspapers were in the country. When they reported back to him he bought up all those papers so that he could control the flow of information to the minds of the public

The CFR absorbed these media companies into its membership and they all consolidated into bigger and bigger and more centralised corporations

But as all this was going on a big working class political movement WAS growing but the 2 world wars bled the working class dry

After the hardships of the war years the el-ites knew they would need to give the workers something or else face the wrath of millions of trained soldeirs who had just fought and bled for their countries

So they started a number of schemes for example 'homes for heros' where they threw up lots of pre-fabricated homes amd also they created the national health service here in the Uk to give free health care

So the masses were appeased. Also rationing began to ease in the 1950's and the baby boomer generation then grew up in a time of more food, more clothes material (hence the excessive 'flairs' trousers), more petrol etc

Psychological testing on vast numbers of returning soldiers also saw a burgeoning of the field of psychiatry. It was from this field that it was decided that underneath the seeming calm of society was lurking the unstable forces that had seen the german people (from a modern induestrialised country) rise up enmasse and go on the warpath

A new drug was needed to quell these forces. Into this space stepped edward bernays the nephew of sigmund freud who used his uncles teachings about the human psyche to create the 'public relations' industry in the US. Although in the TV series 'Mad men' depicting the PR industry there is only one jewish character who is presented as funny but inspired and loveable the truth is that Public relations was born from freuds work and freud was jewish (ashkenazi)

Edward bernays (ashkenazi) is known as the 'father of public relations'

Public relationswas then used to sell to the public a whole host of status items and labour saving devices including everything from cars, to TV's to fridges to toasters etc

This saw the rise of the ideology of 'consumerism' but once the razzle-dazzle of consumerism wore thin people felt empty inside as consumerism failed to satisfy the spiritual side of human nature

But psychiatry had an answer to this also. It would expand its categorisation for the various symptoms people exhibited due to the anxiety as they fell through the cracks of the spiritually bankrupt ideology of consumerism. Psychiatry simply diagnosed such people as suffering from 'disorders' and it drugged them with powerful mind quelling drugs to make people emotionally numb

The banks meanwhile, led by the central bank made credit plentyful to fuel the consumerist buying orgy which then got people into debt creating more mental anguish that then had to be chemically coshed by the psychiatrists

So all that activity basically squashed the youthful exuberance of the baby boomers and their protests of the 1960's and 70's

On top of that were various traumas to the psyche of the nation that helped quell the spirit of love and hope. A series of assassinations took out inspirational leaders such as the kennedy brothers, martin luther king, malcom x, john lennon etc

So that brings us upto the current generation who armed with the internet are now awakening to a harsh reality where all the money has been taken by the people at the top of society, where our governments are involved in endless wars around the planet, where scandal after scandal reveal the corrupt nature of our governments, where corproations are destroying the environment and where we realise with increasing intensity that there is a need to do something about all this mess

As that awareness grows and the will to act grows with it new solutions will arise

Already we are seeing various changes occur in the political sphere for example out of the spanish indignados has come the pedemos poltical party. In Italy the five star party has sprung out of nowhere to become a major force. Out of growing feelings of seperatism have grown seccesionist parties like the SNP and UKIP in the UK and out of increasing government cencorship and controls over the internet and freedom of speech in general have arisen the PIRATE party which has parties across the western world

Where it will all end is yet to be seen
