RE: Hello. I Want to End War.

in #introduceyourself6 years ago (edited)

I don't know if you follow Caitlin Johnstone at all. If not you should, she's really great.

Well, in a speech she gave a while back she made an important point to consider. "We are in an unprecedented situation", she said, " there are now 4.5 Billion people on the internet."

She points out that in an unprecedented situation we cannot pretend to know the outcome because it is something that has never occurred before. This is where we are now with the whole globe connected. Four and a half Billion people can instantly communicate a message to each other. Four and a half Billion people can instantly join a movement. All we need is to agree on something. I'm suggesting we start by agreeing to end war, (or to spread peace, that is a nicer way of putting it).

The point is, we can't look to history to predict the future right now. We are in the middle of something that has never happened before, and now, more than ever before, we are on the cusp of something brand new happening.

Further more, when it comes to things like this, even if it doesn't work out, it's still worth supporting. It's still worth trying just to be able to say we tried. Maybe the global elites crush this peace movement just like every one before it, but it's better to have tried and failed than to never have tried at all.

P.S. Here's a link to the Caitlin Johnstone Video I mentioned. https://caitlinjohnstone.com/2018/08/29/check-out-my-presentation-how-to-win-a-grassroots-media-rebellion-at-the-ron-paul-institute-conference/
