WAKE-UP YOUNG AMERICA!
Because they’re coming for you.

All the rote bullshit rhetoric you’re reading on Twitter today from branded activists, politicians and pundits is just more of the same pearl clutching bullshit we modern Americans always indulge in response … 1/14
to each new episode of this organized right-wing seditionism that is tearing our country apart.

Our problem is not Republicans. It is NOT Donald Trump, nor his 70 million brainwashed cultists. They are all symptoms of a preventable disease.

The disease is the … 2/14
hate mongering media brainwashers; the Murdoch-led and fed right- wing media that is poisoning democracies all over the world. And every day we fail to rebel against THEM, the worse things are going to get. That is what I meant yesterday when I said that everything … 3/14
sucks, because “WE suck.” It is not that we don’t canvas hard or believe the right things; it’s that we sacrifice little to act-up boldly to achieve them by threatening the media elites who decide the contours of this miserable status quo. Instead, we watch … 4/14
passively and wait for someone we elect to magically save us from this burgeoning global crisis of right wing extremism being DELIBERATELY nurtured by Murdoch, his sons, and the other media empires that align with them—or just remain silent about them.

Only we the … 5/14
people can stop that. Our many brilliant activists, with all their youth and energy should be setting up PERMANENT protest stations outside the offices of FoxNews, OANN and Newsmax, blockading easy access and egress to their places of business, shaming their … 6/14
executives and employees with PA systems, human microphones, truck signs, balloons, or blimps, or whatever else is needed to make damn sure their sponsors and enablers understand that Americans have HAD ENOUGH of this Murdoch brand of monetized sedition for fun and … 7/14
profit, and every product, person or company enabling it And this should continue until those media companies apologize for their manipulations, and take convincing steps toward ending all this mayhem mongering that willfully incites this hatred, racism, violence, … 8/14
and social dysfunction.

Until we do that, not much is going to change. It’s a one month project for young activists. And probably even less. So what in the name of democracy are you waiting for?

And no, it won’t be me that leads you. Like my boomer peers, I’m … 9/14
mostly too old to fight the vigorous kinds of socio-political combat needed to save your asses. And we won’t be here much longer anyway. It’s all on you. You still have great power in great numbers. You can choose to use it or lose it.

But while most of us older … 10/14
folks can’t be the front-line soldiers, we can support your war effort. With money, advocacy, rhetoric, and anything else we can do. But you must start the controlled burn that stops the people fueling this populist wildfire, already raging out of control. If you … 11/14
need some $matches, just ask for them. Any of of you branded activists could tweet a @Gofund me and raise $250,000 to support a #StopMediaMayhem movement in about 24 hours. And then you could have tents, vehicles and angry mobs parked outside @FoxNews and the other … 12/14
media hatemongers in a matter of days.

I’d get the ball rolling if I could. But I can’t. I don’t have the media reach, nor can even talk (let alone shout) for even 5 minutes before my nerve-damaged lip cripples my voice for hours. But I can advise, consult, and do … 13/14
whatever I can to urge others to help you to go out and act-up to save your democracy, your nation, and your planet.

You won’t get many more chances. If you don’t start coming at them, I assure you, they will just keep coming at you. 14/14
