Maybe the biggest question progressives ask themselves while also failing to deal with whatever answers they come up with, is what is it that prevents many people from exercising their moral prerogative or the dissonance between what they see happening in the world and what they feel should be changed.Most people feel powerless when it comes to making real social, cultural, or even personal change in their lives.Two simple examples are riding a bike and eating healthy. Those two examples are practically revolutionary in a society dependent on cars, lack of space and time, and the devastating effects it produces in a society that entices one to eat "filler" food, food that essentially has no nutritional value at all. The rise of type two diabetes, and other worldwide food and water-based issues, is tantamount to a pandemic.No, i'm not going to get into all the overriding and coinciding factors of why we are where we are, but if people rode bikes instead of their cars to go short distances and bought nutritional, natural food for their diet, we'd be on our way to changing from a system reliant on rampant brainwashing consumerism to politicking essential services. Cars will become obsolete and before they do, the entire road/transportation/car infrastructure will be more and more unusable.Just yesterday one lone car with one crazy driver who refused to surrender shut down busy I-80 in both directions for several hours, this in addition to normal heavy traffic all day long in urban areas.Theres an old saying -you're within walking distance from everything you need. Or everything you need is within walking distance from HERE. Or right now. Besides, you see and meet your community that way. And you don't need a gun. Think small, forget big.
Various commentary about the condition of the world as interpreted by twists and turning, mostly left.
