232) The beginning of revolution is knowing what the hell is actually going on: Let's start with the Military-Industrial Complex and how it controls our governments
Civil society at large (i.e., you, me and the rest of us) needs to start learning in-depth about the way that the "state" (i.e., our governments) are controlled by war. And just what trajectory we are on right now with war-funding, AI-research, etc.
Because, from climate change, to nuclear weapons, to AI and the very-rapidly-becoming-real machine-doom scenarios that we are now being warned about by, once again, the EXPERTS IN THOSE FIELDS WHO KNOW WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT, we face either the destruction, or the wise evolution of human civilization, probably within our lifetimes, most certainly within today's children's lifetimes.
So here's a primer on the military-industrial complex. Don't jump, immediately, to hand-wringing "what can we do???". Because right now, literally nobody knows, although there are plenty of great ideas.
But let's say that within a few years, we not only have to figure it out, we have to build the mass, global movement of people that demands, and then forces, this to happen.
Step 1: Learn. If you care about...well, anything.
