>>"Does anyone think were so fucking privileged that we DON’T?"
Unfortunately, Gypsy, too many people think that they are privileged and superior to others. That IS the problem - this superiority complex that many humans have.
Were you to boil down into one or two or three words the essence of Gaza and Ukraine - what comes up for you? For me right now the words are "dis-connection" and "billionaire control". What might the antidotes to these two words be? "relationship" and "building citizen power" - come right now to me. We have been controlled by a narrative that breaks apart relationships. Apartheid is a structure that is a metaphor for broken and/or denied relationship. The" immigrant" separates me from him/her. As are the other labels today.
At one time - briefly - a long time ago, we were the government. And we still are. We just have to realize it and say NO! Then we have to reclaim what is ours.
@SherriRoach I completely agree with you on this point. We're seeing our future if we can't stop this.
If we don’t stop this carnage it’s the future we DESERVE.
Does anyone think were so fucking privileged that we DON’T?

Another phrase that comes to mind for me, Selina, is ‘colonial mindset’ to sum up the situation.
Also, ‘shit show’
We could if our government wanted to.
Katlheen....
"We could if our government wanted to.""" Not so fast! .... WE are the governments. YOU are the governments.
We are not the government. That's bullshit they teach you in elementary school.
S>L.
"Bullshit" or not, then who is the government.? ..... Aliens from the planet Klingon?
Our feudal overlords, I suppose.
Therefore, WE are responsible for getting out there and stopping it. As in millions surrounding the white mans house shouting STOP!
Right. We have to *restore* this to de facto, even if it is currently only de jure.
