No, We Are Not Powerless.
By COLLAPSE LIFE
A thought experiment on power, leverage, and why we aren’t as helpless as we think.
Here at Collapse Life, one heading in our business plan ‘goals’ is: “Opening people’s eyes.” We left it broad so we could encompass the myriad crises heading our way faster than a freight train, whether that’s creeping authoritarianism, financial overreach, digital control, or bureaucratic doom. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
When the message does get through to folks as to the magnitude of the problem, the next question always seems to be:
“But what can we actually do about it?”
Most people assume the answer is: nothing.
In many ways, that’s true. Much of what’s unfolding at breakneck speed can now no longer be stopped, and we’d be foolish not to prepare for the changes that are coming. But there are places where the system shows itself to be far more vulnerable than it would have us believe.
