    We can’t. People like to think it’s possible by voting in the “right” type of person and things like peacefully protesting etc. The truth is that it’s a lost cause. We can’t make the changes necessary to fix the planet, stop the ultra rich or any other large scale issue. I know I sound defeatist, but it’s true. Short of bloody violence we’re stuck like this.

      This is the sad truth that kills me.

      Until we have a world war that outs those in power, at great loss of life, we will only get worse.

      Even if we magically voted for principled politicians. The money holders would simply hide behind a foreign flag.
