The idea that we need need unified and organized masses of people to get results isn’t very efficient.
Media is lazy and low on funds — it plays right into the billionaires advantages — they have stuff made up and spread all over.
We can take advantage as well.
Chaos Theory of social change posits that organic, and active participants spreading ideas from their community create a catch-on effect that takes less total energy finances and resources to create social change.
Example — larry plants a desert willow and it lives on his property — then jerry elaine and freida all copy the idea. If one of those people clone their willow and give it away … now things really pick up speed.
More desert willows get in the ground than if the city offered a “free willow” campaign.
I offer a plant example as I have gotten jupiters beard, peach trees, lilacs, and tons of kale in my local environment this way. I will be sending oaks, goumi berry, and other propogated trees into the ground next year
There was a guerilla journalism group a long time ago that had people write articles and send them to media ( local 1st and then up the food chain)
What they found was that if you write the story and have all the references in it.
a portion of media outlets will take it and publish it because you did all the work for them.
we all have ways and avenues in to change the status quo and can quickly disperse them.
It’s like a million paper cuts to the right wing empire — let’s do it!
I would like to see someone develop a “daily call” Column here
Have a sample phone call or email on a cause and then a clickable list of place and persons to send.
For instance what would happen if every upset commenter on KOS fired off an email to media outlets asking for coverage of the Trump plane on the tarmac with Saudi Arabia and Russia?
or
Authors on KOS could tag a piece as free to submit — and any one of us could take that piece and send it to local outlets or places we frequent.
