We’ve lived so long under the spell of hierarchy—from god-kings to feudal lords to party bosses—that only recently have we awakened to see not only that “regular” citizens have the capacity for self-governance, but that without their engagement our huge global crises cannot be addressed. The changes needed for human society simply to survive, let alone thrive, are so profound that the only way we will move toward them is if we ourselves, regular citizens, feel meaningful ownership of solutions through direct engagement. Our problems are too big, interrelated, and pervasive to yield to directives from on high.

Posts that I especially recommend for Tuesday, April 19, 2022

Note: I think that the censoring agents of the de-facto US/British/Zionist Empire have finally caught with me by destroying my approximately 8 entries for Tuesday, April 19, 2022, in the middle of my work posting articles for my website while working on Google's worksheet. Because I've used their worksheet for nearly 12 years of posting without this happening, this is probably no accident. However, I will attempt to re-post articles, including most of the missing articles from today's posts, tomorrow. (Updated at 4:16 PM CT)
