What if instead of protests or rallys we did something constructive?

I have to provide traffic control for the protest here in San Diego County. Doing it as I'm writing this. These people are not normal

Love it! It’s constructive and builds what society is desperately missing…community and self sufficiency. I’ll teach someone to cook and garden if someone teaches me how to build raised garden beds and a fence.

Takes far more energy and faith to create/build than tear down…. Easier to follow Satan than Christ. Christ is the Creator. The Builder.

or another Idea, we just get rid of the problem

I’ve come to understand that it is ridiculous to recognize anyone as your leader who you don’t know personally… All indigenous tribes know their leader personally - and he knows them. A tribe’s leader doesn’t have a lifestyle that is essentially different from the rest of the tribe. The tribal leader watches for his replacement - identifies them - and mentors them…

I was in a massive barter group in the late 90’s to mid 2000’s I can’t express enough how awesome it was. I was able to travel the world and do things that would never be possible without it. We need to do this. One tiny office of 3 people kept it running smoothly and fairly. Unfortunately the old couple that ran it passed away, no one took up the mantle.

Or just use a different currency. Gold Backs are pretty good for that. We use them at our local freedom market.

I do this for the young soon to be men at a section 8 property. I teach and pay them about all the trades to attempt to lift them up and provide them with skills necessary to have a meaningful life. I have more success with 20 something year olds than any other age group at this point. Regardless, it’s always worth it. You’re on the right track @shipwreckshow, keep it up you badass. Try not to get discouraged.

Also, I freaking love this idea! It’s time well spent. What about community kitchens? Rather than people get together at slop-serving restaurants. Have a community kitchen making (and showing how to make) real food and be less dependent on restaurant life. I’m not saying to put restaurants out of business causing job losses but rather have people stop wasting so much money and time on them when that time is better spent with their families at home or at a familiar setting. That’s how you put the McDonald’s, the Taco Bells, The KFC’s out of business. People would naturally be more drawn to real food and become more critical of fast food so your small business restaurants would thrive on the periodic casual dining. Essentially, this would stick it to big corporations and the government (taxes on businesses).

Hi....I'm from Cedar Falls/Waterloo Iowa. I personally admire the Amish and think we should follow their lead.

LionforChrist has a good point

I wish people had this kind of energy when the Epstein files were released. How can people not be up in arms over finding out we are controlled by baby eating pedos?

These fkn politicians get on camera and lie straight to your face. You think calling them is going to straighten them out? 🤣🤣🤣

One exception being that the Left ran ICE out of Minneapolis. Looks like that word for them because they didn't half-ass it. They stuck right with it, day and night, night and day, got pretty straightforward about it. Conservatives are too lazy, too afraid of jail for that.

It would definitely be more constructive but the problem is, these people don't really have any skills or knowledge. I agree that there is plenty to protest but most protesters are either paid to do it or are just morons. Like you say, it's largely ineffective.

This is exactly on point. The power in protests does not come from standing around waving signs and chanting. It comes from the LOST PRODUCTIVITY as the workforce protests instead of works. Retired Boomers are not moving that needle one bit.

Kinda like going Galt in Ayn Rand’s book Atlas Shrugged. Going Galt" refers to a strike or withdrawal of production; it signifies refusing to support a system deemed unjust by withholding labor, talent, or capital.

I like this @shipwreckshow I still think change doesn’t happen unless the people speak up. Protesting also shows the world that citizens aren’t happy with the government. We have all learnt sitting in our own political bubble can be our downfall.. but I love your idea.

1/So first I want to say that I LOVE this idea. There's some of this happening in my town but on a small scale. Building community and learning to be less reliant on the system that's currently crashing and dying is definitely the way. We should protest, too. -->

lol same circus, different clowns 🤡

It is something that is a better option than protesting and destroying shit in protest of not getting what we want

I am so down for this and I'm super close-ish to Iowa. I'm a jack of all trades and would be willing to contribute in whatever way I can!! Hell yeah! This would be dope!!

They keep us divided so we won't do this.

I like this idea, I wonder if starting something like this could be part of local farmers market, I think you’d find a lot of likeminded people in that setting, worth pondering.

I’m so on board. You can start growing your local community then it becomes charters and such . A while network takes hold. It grows and so does your freedom. I would love to see this again.

If you have a skill you want to share with your community, I recommend contacting your town's library. They often are looking for activities to bring folks in and they typically have meeting rooms you can use for free or a nominal charge (usually related to set up or clean up). If you're doing crafts, they generally don't have a problem with you charging a materials-fee as long as it's stated up front and it's free to just listen in. You don't have to be an experienced teacher to give a class. I've seen one person use a YouTube video as her presentation and used it to help guide folks through the crafting process. In that case, the instructor was someone who already knew how to make the item so she could guide folks when they had questions or issues. The problem I see is that you need to have folks who have skills, have the time to share them, and the desire to help others learn. Senior centers are a great source for both teachers and students. They often have both the time and knowledge and are happy to share both. Stay-at-home moms are another poosible source for teaching basic skills. As someone who's given presentations at my local libraries in the past, I know it's very doable and rewarding. Build it, and they WILL come.❤️❤️❤️

What does internet Karen have on the docket to bitch about today Sara?

@Amandabolt11 That's the best slogan I have ever heard! But why would we care about any of it as long as women think that intimate acts like a blowjob or condolingus is gross? Let this shit burn. If there is no love then there is no reason.

The world will be a diffrent place in The future skills of many we be required. I agree with you we should all learn skills that can help ANYONE in hard times. I myself have projects that Ive been working on but Im primarily a car builder and painter. I can build a house I can do woodwork, fix appliances,agriculture and a some mechanics. When im presented with a chance to help ironically to my situation at that time I do it. Shit we can pick 1 day a mid month to just do random act of kindness or leave yourself open for him to do something for good. When you have 2 give to that has none. Workshops or random acts of kindness in mass will speak louder than words but also to the soul.

Had one in my town today too, I had mixed feelings about it

#HearHere

Are they still doing that?

Points all well taken... country (left n right), needs to STOP falling for psyop divisive issues.. need unifying message (eg - better healthcare, education, infrastructure, etc..)
