That’s not true. We do conduct collective organizing. Usually around boycotts where due to our spending habits we have an outsize influence on a lot of the vendors we decide to boycott.

I think your argument is we don’t have enough lobbying efforts that rely on money and not on people and you would be right. However, on a deeper level you have to ask, is it we don’t spend money in the right places or is it that the right places don’t want us to spend money with them because they would prefer to not owe us loyalty?
To put it simply, we do a lot of mobilizing but not organizing.



My argument isn’t in regard to spending habits, buying power, etc. When I get some time behind a computer instead of this phone I’ll try to expand more on where I’m coming from.

Here’s the thing.

Neither one of us are ‘doing it’ from the outside or inside. No individual is.

This is a matter of collective organization, which we severely lack, and is why we keep spinning in place.
:yeshrug:

Well you might as well make some money not doing it from the inside.

The Wehrmacht: History, Myth, Reality p. 71

The military historian Klaus-Jürgen Müller notes that in 1933 members of the NSDAP (Nazis) and its subsidiary organizations had begun publicly voicing their doubts about the "racial purity" of the Reichswehr officer corps...Once the order was given it is evident that the leadership of the Reichswehr were prepared to do as they had been told....in the course of the purge, which only took a few weeks, at least seventy officers, noncommissioned officers and enlisted men were dismissed...the officers were dismissed because one or more of their parents or grandparents had been registered Jewish at birth.
