Revolution in The 21st Century @revolution21c.bsky.social · 24/09/2026
The point of revolution isn’t to swap one group at the top for another, but to break the cycle entirely. We need a system where power is shared and no one is stuck at the bottom forever. Not new rulers, but a new way of running society.

We need new ways of gathering, organizing and relating that keep us in the energy for change without burnout. We need spaces where people can listen, connect and feel less alone. This is how we build a culture that can sustain real change.

Meta tried to build a 200-megawatt data centre on farmland in Zeewolde. Twice the electricity of the entire town. 20 rebels occupied the council. "We want Greta, not Meta." They won, and then the Dutch banned hyperscale centres over 70MW. Direct action works! wagingnonviolence.org/2026/07/the-...

“Worse than expected” appeared 10+ times in just five months of climate news in 2026. Emissions 15% higher than reported. Sea level rise affecting 68% more people than modelled. Amazon tipping point arriving sooner than projected. The models were always conservative. This is uncharted territory.
