When wealth is built by manipulation of markets rather than the development of value the system fails. New systems will arise that are grounded in building real value based on authenticity. We don’t have to defeat old systems we just need to shift our focus to something better.

Change is about shifting focus. When the focus shifts nothing stops it.

As a society we need to resist letting love, passion, purpose, and progress be turned into greed. We need to turn love, passion, purpose, and progress into shared abundance.

Kindness is cheap, it creates opportunity, it builds communities Cruelty is expensive, it stifles opportunities, it destroys communities Kindness beats cruelty both economically, and socially Vote for and promote kindness every opportunity you get Kindness will always win in the end

Kindness builds wealth and connection. Fear destroys societies and love builds societies. Love is brave. Love is who you are.

Humanities biggest weakness is we let prejudice get in the way of progress, wealth, and abundance.

Light does not fear darkness. Light destroys the darkness. Light is truth. Light is joy. Light is hope. Light is love. The more our society embraces light the more we are all able to thrive.

Please read my reflection on the Second Tower Principle. US democracy and the international rules based order is disintegrating.. Like folks in the second tower, some see the danger and refuse to sit still. Others assure us life will go back to normal. charlieangus.substack.com/p/the-second...

Love is bold, it out lives suffering, it creates community, hope and opportunity, it is light. Fear is timid, it divides, it isolates, it is lonely, it protects itself from the world, it hides in the darkness. Love is the light that drives out the fear, the darkness. Be the light.

Endless growth is cancer. This is the new metric for economic success. We need to learn how to make our economies thrive without endless growth and in balance with human and environmental needs. This shift has already begun. youtu.be/Rhcrbcg8HBw?...

Love this! We are nothing without each other.

We are nothing without each other.
You think because you're privileged enough to be able to purchase your basic needs that you're somehow living independently.
But you didn't make the clothes you buy. You didn't package them and ship them and deliver them to your doorstep. You didn't grow the food you eat. You didn't harvest the grain that becomes the flour in your bread. You didn't mine the precious minerals from the earth that became the computer chips in your phone.
You can't provide your own treats. We need a community to do that. The difference is whether or not you believe the people who facilitated your treats deserve to have their own.

When it’s hard to find hope, it’s easy to find fear. When faced with fear cultivate gratitude, be creative, look for solutions, build relationships. Hope is a network that underlies everything, find it and share it and the network will grow.

Governments who understand that people are the economy and build social and physical infrastructure that supports that fact will thrive. There has never been so much unrealized human potential. youtu.be/th3KE_H27bs?...

Fascist governments can’t function without people working in it. Don’t give them your labour at any price. Starve them. Erode their power to nothing. Then build something that works for you.

That last line hits hard

@MichellCClark:
they made healthcare a commodity, education a debt trap, and housing a speculation market-then told you that poverty is a personal failing. they privatized survival and called it freedom.

Something better is coming. The mess we’re in now is an inflection point. How we choose to meet this moment will determine how painful the change is.

Wealth is always created in communities.Individual wealth is a myth,not that individual wealth shouldn’t exist,but w/out community individual wealth cannot exist.Achieving a balance of incentive to create wealth and the infrastructure to support community is the key to developing long term stability

The future economic structures will be collaborative, cooperative, and community based by necessity. Wealth is built in communities by communities. The economic and environmental realities that our society is facing can only be met and overcome together. youtu.be/sfCmc9GOYik?...

When we forget how to build communities and forget how to build coalitions they win. As individuals we have no power. As communities we distribute power and control the values.

When authoritarians try to strip you of your humanity that’s when you human more.Create things, love more,empathize especially with people you don’t understand,educate more propagandize less,seek truth even if it’s uncomfortable,stand up for your community and build that community as big as you can.
