We may feel, in the face of the ruthless corporate destruction
of our nation, our culture and our ecosystem, powerless and weak.
But we are not. We have a power that terrifies the corporate state.
Any act of rebellion, no matter how few people show up
or how heavily it is censored, chips away at corporate power.
Any act of rebellion keeps alive the embers for larger movements
that follow us. It sustains another narrative.
It will, as the state consumes itself, attract wider and wider numbers. Perhaps this will not happen in our lifetimes. But if we persist,
we will keep this possibility alive. If we do not, it will die.
