    You still have democracy. What are you going to do in your basement when you can’t even use the greatest tool ever invented for organizing people? You’re like someone who’s barely managed a 5k acting as if they’re ready for a marathon because deep down you really believe you are. It’s the same mindset as people saying, “We’ll just colonize another planet,” instead of solving the problems here.

    If you can’t create engagement, build networks, and promote content and ideas today, you’re not going to magically organize anything from a basement. Believing otherwise is what’s truly delusional.

      Social media is not “the greatest tool for organizing people.” It’s a tool for the wealthy to scoop up our data.

        Can you explain that a bit better because you’re flat wrong. But I’m really wondering how you feel it’s not our greatest tool to organize, what would be?
