Yeah, I've got it as a standalone file which I'll work on when the ideas coalesce into useable form. The problem I'm facing is that the separate strategies I want to address cross pollinate to an astounding degree - security and media as a prime example. Combating misinformation while putting the agenda forward while avoiding a CNN style gish galloping panel. It just gets...messy.
The thing is the resistance (for lack of a better term) is out there and it needs a legitimate form and structure in order to survive. If it only evolves into a "movement" it will eventually peter out as Occupy or BLM. The worst case scenario is a Kent State situation with MAGAts and the National Guard - we've already seen this to a lesser degree at the pro Palestine gatherings. The Zionists show up and attack the protests. The Police stand by until they decide it's gone far enough then wade in and arrest/blame the protesters while the Zionists walk away. Classic authoritarian practice.
I also want to say I'm not egocentric enough to think this is the only way forward. I'm just some asshole in Cleveland with a keyboard trying to process the current situation. The more voices trying to navigate the turmoil the better, take one from column A, two from column B, make a plan.
I'll leave with this: It's starting.
