Caitlin needs to befriend some wealthy benefactor who will just buy up ads everyone and run these notes on the radio, billboards etc.
Get a couple billboards that read, “You Can Measure The Health Of A Society By How It Treats Its Warmongers And Its Peacemongers” with the accompanying image.
I'm afraid you understimate the level of propaganda here in the US. Most of the 99% already know ours is a really sick society (and the 1% definitely know - as they are the ones that primarily make it so sick), but choose to ignore admitting to it (because then they would have to do something about it to resolve their cognitive dissonance). They (the 99%) are unable to wake up from thier stupor and capitalism-induced coma to do anything significant about it.
Until people start starving and dying in the US, I don't see anything else waking them up (unfortunately). I know my view is very pessimistic, and I hope I am wrong about it...
That actually provides the foundation for the lower class to start seeing common cause in throwing off the shakles and changing the system they living under.
Romanticist fantasies and Les Miz aside, revolutions do not happen when the 1% are united, as they will do whatever it takes to retain power.
Rather, revolutions happen when the 1% are divided amongst themselves, usually as a result of a foreign threat or an inability to divide up the spoils, and 1% factions start casting about for allies.
I don't think "they" are really 99% anymore. It's much smaller than it used to be.
What's lacking is a positive vision for the future.
Solutions exist, but one first has to get out of the mindset that everything is going to shit and everyone is too brainwashed to respond to genuine ideas.
If we can shake the Malthusian zero growth death-cult programming, then new Renaissance cities, Fusion-powered cities, revitalization of the land, and future-orientated pro-development policies become quite immediate.
And on top of that the banks can be broken up like they were in the 1930s, with things like Glass-Steagall.
The reason China and other countries are advancing and their people have forward-looking and optimistic outlooks is because they've actually being developing the productive sectors of the economies, and their societies are growing, rather than shrinking in order to continue servicing a parasitic financial system.
There are plenty of solutions. We just have to talk about them instead of complaining. A lot of people would probably ditch the programming if they were offered forward thinking ideas.

That would cause some nice ruckus haha.

Hi Chang
I reiterate: until there is war on Amerikkkan soil, Amerikkkans are going to support wars.
Hell, even then…
The country has been bewitched by the oligarchy’s use of divisive tactics such as racial stratification, as a distraction.
However, as capitalism accelerates in its ruthlessness, it’s now ravaging the poor in increasingly equal rates:

This is true of the French revolution, but how about China with the Communist revolution?
Are you not aware of WWI? For that matter, the Chinese Century of Humilations?
Must you insult me? And with a nonresponsive answer? I will not reply further to you.

My two cents.
