That's the thing, many people believe the prosperity we have is because of corporations, so protesting them is near useless if you don't provide people with a vision of how their prosperity would be better without corporations. I personally think corporations are now making the average American less prosperous, but that means nothing if I cannot somehow show people there is a better alternative.

That would require building alternative markets and mutual aid societies, but that tends to be more a function of necessity than desire, and Americans seem to have relatively little desire to build such networks. But that may be in part because they don't know such is possible.

Indeed. This is an interesting corollary to my post!

"Activists" claim to challenge corporations but never try to learn from their successes. Meanwhile, everyday people will mostly accept - without question - the need for corporate power.

Such activists get to feel righteous without any benefit for anyone else, or any need to be accountable for their failure to make anything better. Nor do they actually want to make any change, because real change happens when you have public support for the change, but people don't support protesting like they would vision.

I concur.

When Adams got fired for his righteous speech, I bought several of his books. One is losertalk, and it goes along the lines you mention here. Interesting!

As to businesses, trying to avoid Big anything, but that is not easy.

Corporations will do anything to achieve more money and power and throughout the world they are closely allied with organized crime and the surveillance state. I don't think they achieve anything through positive action; their achievements are based upon theft, the cutthroat ethos, pillage, mass murder AND individual murder.

But I think I know what you mean. Our very local coop went bust because the board didn't act on sound principles. When I asked a friend who worked there if the coop was a social club or a business, the answer she returned with was a social club. Well, it's a social club that is no more. I thought it was more important to function on sound business principles and then have the social club as the frosting on the cake. But I am obviously out-of-date in believing that frugality, careful practices, checking out people's references, rewarding employees who work hard (the coop refused to give a 25-cent raise to a woman who never just stood around but swept the floor and did other tasks if there were no customers unlike other cashiers), are significant considerations.

It's coming organically. The farmers won in Netherlands. This was impossible in the past.

Why now? Because they're pushing the boot again and somehow we're at the point where we can start to see the brick wall behind the fake scene (Frank Zappa nicely illustrated that).

Everything is sold to us by stories. Right now the biggest story tellers are corporations. But their audience is dwindling because people have other things to worry about, the basics.

The outsiders aren't so crazy to the majority anymore. Generation after generation, people have been stripped of their group identity in order to impose different divisions. They are no longer afraid of others.

Ideas and issues that were ignored for decades are finally coming up and showing us that leadership is not just incompetent, but sometimes sadistic!

Humanity is learning that what you state, we should follow those basics for ourselves. We shouldn't decide on things based on what others told us.

Incorporation of yourself is your real ego who runs the show.

Q would say people do not change until they're at the precipice. That is the opposite of being a conscious human being. The questions you post are very good. Doesn't mean they can't have different answers than corporate America answering them takes deep thinking. I have seen spiritual groups with wonderful beautiful aims not be able to pull it together and go to a higher place to answer these questions. You have to get beyond personalities and who is right and who offered the best suggestion. It is about true deep and high collaboration

This is something I saw months ago, but didnt know what to do about it. Since Mickey is based in NYC, maybe someone there can act on it. It was in a Ramola D presentation entitled News Panel 7: Confronting Dark Connections, Agendas, Evil, to End the Long War on Humanity . Recorded on Nov, 15, 2020, see it at www.brighteon.com/bd60b33f-dcdd-42b3-bced-b60870e8e617 . On the panel are Dean Henderson, the author of many books on the black nobility, Alex Thompson of UK Column, Simone Marshall of Freedom Files, and Michelle Young.

At minute 51, Simone Marshall of the UK, produces documents that appear to be invoices, marketing pitches, and inhouse communications for a corporation selling ADRENOCHROME. That subject would be too horrible to contemplate, too horrible to be true, not long ago. At this point in history, no horror is out of the range of possibility. The document has many pages with the names of children, where they are being held, and their expiration dates. :(

The corporation is CYM, Caring, Youth and Money. IF you do a search many hits come up. The HQ is 725 Fifth Avenue, NY, NY 10022, Office # 292. The corporation registry # is 5475570. Deliveries are to be sent to 200 Forbes Street, #200, Annapolis, MD, 21401.

One letter/document is addressed to Mrs. Hillary Notar, 1759 Lewis Road, Suite 210, IMWE-POM, Monterrey, California 93944, Telephone # (831) 242-7184, from John Halstead, who seems to be the HR officer. They are discussing employees at detention centers.

If authentic, this is beyond horrific. Please investigate. Perhaps we can shut down a child trafficking operation, although the information has been on the internet for some time, and SNOPES has "debunked" it, no doubt. :(
