Your viral lefty memes might feel like resistance, but #mainstreaming their part of the problem.
Comedy and sarcasm drive engagement, clicks, data collection and on the #dotcons ad revenue. Mocking the system while feeding its algorithms doesn't weaken it - it strengthens it.
Real resistance isn't better content for their platforms. It's building and moving to the #openweb.

Book Review: The Beginning Comes After the End by Rebecca Solnit
Author: Rebecca Solnit
Title: The Beginning Comes After the End
Publication Info: Haymarket Books (2026)
Other Books Read by This Author:- Wanderlust: A History of Walking
- A Paradise Built in Hell: The Extraordinary Communities That Arise in Disaster
Summary/Review:
The Beginning Comes After the End is a balm in a time of rising authoritarianism, supremacist movements, environmental degradation, and climate crises. While this collection of essays is a work of hope, I think it would be wrong to characterize it as blindly optimistic. Solnit reminds us of the real gains made since World War II in movements for civil rights and liberation, environmentalism, and indigenous repatriation. The movements of the past and their interconnections serve as examples of the world being changed for the better. And while destructive forces are now intent on destroying these gains, it helps to remember that their backlash is rooted in their belief that these things they hate are powerful and world-changing. Solnit’s work offers a vision that points us back toward that better world.
Favorite Passages:
Only in the long view can you see the patterns emerging, the way the present builds on the past, the way past surprises guarantee more surprises are coming, the ingredients of change over years, decades, centuries. If you don’t see time on the scale of change, you don’t see change.
The assumption is that we might be at the end of something, even the end of time, for those fond of apocalypse and doom, but we couldn’t possibly be at the beginning of something else. We assume that the present is not in labor to bring forward a future unlike itself. And it is easier to see the old world dying, than the new world being born
Ideas have power, and while those who support them often dismiss that power, those who fear them recognize they can change the world . . . Ideas are seeds in that they are beginnings; if they succeed, they do so as they take on more tangible and concrete forms
The fact that we cannot save everything does not mean that we cannot save anything and everything we can save is worth saving.

Inherited ideas are a curious thing, and interesting to observe and examine. I had mine, the king and his people had theirs. In both cases they flowed in ruts worn deep by time and habit, and the man who should have proposed to divert them by reason and argument would have had a long contract on his hands.

Dealing with #mainstreaming people is exhausting - not because most have bad intentions, but because decades of life inside a #deathcult system leave us carrying habits of fear, distrust and learned helplessness.
We need better social ways to mediate this mess: compassion, yes, but also clarity, boundaries and collective care.

Perfectly understandable. There is a lot of terrible things happening in the world, and having any form of justice sensitivity can make any exposure to it downright maddening. I know.If you're interested in how I reconcile preferring to be kind and positive with this, the upshot is that for me it comes from understanding the complexities of the situation. Not the details necessarily, I easily get overwhelmed from those. But instead the patterns and underlying systems that have led to our current situation, continue to fuel it, but yet understanding them suggests pathways to help deal with them. I've found that with this information, I am far more charitable regarding people's involvement in these patterns, as well as hopeful about the ways out of them.
If you (by which I mean anyone reading this) is interested in learning these things, you can take a look at them at the following web address. There's a lot there, so if you don't have the time and energy for it all, that is why I have the 'quick' version which is called the Bare Essentials level, bite-sized lessons in the various topics. If even that might be too much, or you prefer or need to begin with information more relevant to this discussion, I'd suggest starting at the Level 2 topic of Community & Cooperation, and then moving on to the Level 3 topics, to really see what I mean above, but really you can look at whatever you want in whatever order. But also keep in mind that all the topics are designed to support and reinforce each other, so the more you learn, the better you will understand and appreciate the other topics as well.
And I'm always available for questions, comments, or even suggestions. :BlobCatSmiley:

We talk about revolutions through simplified stories: heroes, villains, success, failure.
But real change is shaped by deeper forces - history, economics, ideology, institutions, culture, and the material conditions people are living through.
Often we fall back on comfortable liberal assumptions and narratives instead of asking harder questions about why movements emerge, how they transform, and why their outcomes become something different from their original hopes.
A better analysis needs more mess, not less.
Any understanding of change means looking beyond the slogans and into the systems that shape what becomes possible.

Watching this video reminded me how much activist history gets distorted by sectarianism.
At places like #Greenham, divisions formed around the "colour" of the gates - different ideologies, identities, and political cultures. The trouble is that the loudest and most conflict-driven voices end up telling the history afterwards.
The people saying *"look at me"* get remembered, while the people saying *"don't look at me, I'm busy, look at the issue"* are usually too busy doing the actual work to document it.
This leaves us with a skewed activist memory, where internal drama becomes history and the slow, collective labour that made things happen fades into the background.
It's not just a problem of the past. We keep reproducing the same mess today.

Every time someone shares an article about how terrible the world is, my first question is simple - What are you doing about it?
Outrage without action is another form of consumption, doomscrolling isn't organising, sharing isn't building, knowing isn't enough.
The world won't change because we comment on the mess. It changes when we create alternatives, challenge power, and work together to build something better.

Who is Donald J. Trump?
By, Cliff Potts, WPS News, Editor-in-Chief
Baybay City | May 24, 2026Donald J. Trump: A Brief Biographical Overview
Donald John Trump, born on June 14, 1946, in Queens, New York, is a prominent businessman and political figure who served as the 45th, and 47th President of the United States from January 2017 to January 2021, and again from January 2025. He is known for his background in real estate development and entertainment, particularly as a television personality on shows like “The Apprentice.” Trump graduated from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania with a degree in economics. His political career began with his controversial candidacy for the presidency in 2016, where he capitalized on themes of nationalism, economic reform, and a strong stance on immigration. Throughout his tenure, Trump was a polarizing figure, garnering both strong support and opposition for his policies and rhetoric regarding various issues, including war and foreign relations.
The Role of War in Human Society
War has played a significant role throughout human history, shaping societies and economies. In academic discussions, some scholars assert that war can act as a catalyst for social change and technological advancement. For example, historian Geoffrey Parker states in his work that warfare often propels nations to innovate and adapt, which can lead to societal progress. Economically, war influences the labor market and can stimulate production, as seen during World War II when the U.S. economy boomed due to increased industrial output.
Donald Trump has expressed skepticism about U.S. involvement in prolonged military engagements overseas. He often critiqued the concept of “endless wars,” suggesting that they depleted national resources and did not significantly benefit American citizens. This stance resonates with a broader sentiment that questions the effectiveness of military intervention as a means of achieving long-term peace.
War and Human Nature
The nature of war is deeply intertwined with human instincts. Studies in psychology suggest that conflict arises from innate human behaviors, such as aggression and competition. However, societal influences also shape these instincts. For instance, the presence of propaganda can heighten fears and rally populations towards war. Trump has often used rhetoric that plays upon American patriotism and fear of external threats, emphasizing the need to maintain a strong military presence to protect national interests.
The interplay between human nature and societal factors calls for an examination of how leaders like Trump respond to these instincts. His administration emphasized military strength, often citing the notion of deterrence. By positioning the U.S. as a dominant force, Trump sought to reassure Americans and counter perceived threats.
The Ethical Dimension of Donald J. Trump’s Thought Concerning War
The ethical aspects of Trump’s views on warfare encompass a range of moral complexities. His handling of military decisions, such as the drone strike that killed Iranian General Qasem Soleimani, raised questions regarding justification and the potential for escalation of conflict. Critics argued that such actions could plunge the U.S. deeper into the Middle East’s tumultuous dynamics, highlighting the moral weight leaders bear when making decisions about war.
Trump’s administration often invoked a perspective of “America First,” suggesting that U.S. interests should prevail over international obligations. This approach raises ethical considerations about responsibility towards allies and the global community at large, reflecting a significant deviation from previous administrations that promoted international cooperation.
Biblical References and Biblical-Era History
To draw parallels between Trump’s views and historical perspectives on war, one can turn to biblical references. In the Bible, wars are often depicted as conflicts rooted in moral and ethical struggles, such as the battles between the Israelites and their adversaries. These narratives reflect fundamental questions about righteousness, justice, and the consequences of war.
When analyzing Trump’s policies through this lens, some interpretations align his “tough” rhetoric with the biblical notion of the warrior king, who defends his people. However, the ethical dilemmas faced by leaders in the biblical era, such as King David’s wars, serve as a reminder of the complexities involved in warfare that transcend simplistic notions of victory.
Education as a Tool for Mitigating War
Education is often viewed as a crucial tool in addressing the root causes of conflict and fostering peace. An educated populace is typically better equipped to engage in dialogue and resolve disputes without resorting to violence. Trump’s approach to education significantly emphasized vocational training and military preparedness, focusing on equipping young people with skills relevant to the workforce.
While educational reforms are vital, Trump’s agenda faced criticism for neglecting comprehensive approaches that promote critical thinking and understanding of war’s consequences. By promoting peace through education, societies may cultivate empathy and awareness, potentially reducing the likelihood of conflict.
Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Conflict and Resolution
Conflict resolution is a field that draws insights from various disciplines, including psychology, sociology, and political science. Understanding the interdisciplinary nature of conflict can enhance strategies for peace. For instance, psychological approaches to conflict negotiation emphasize empathy and communication, while sociological perspectives analyze how group dynamics influence conflicts.
Trump’s administration often leaned on a transactional view of diplomacy, emphasizing deals and agreements. While this approach can yield short-term successes, neglecting the complexities of human relations and societal factors could undermine sustainable peace efforts.
Cultural Narratives and Their Influence on Perceptions of War
Cultural narratives play a significant role in shaping how societies perceive war. Stories, myths, and media representations create a framework through which individuals understand conflict and its consequences. In American culture, narratives of heroism, sacrifice, and the defense of freedom are prevalent, often glorifying military engagement. This viewpoint aligns with Trump’s frequent references to American exceptionalism, framing military might as a symbol of national pride and resilience.
Various films, books, and news reports contribute to the collective memory of war, influencing public sentiment. Trump utilized media attention to amplify narratives that emphasized strength, portraying military intervention as a necessary measure against threats. By tapping into these cultural narratives, he aimed to galvanize support and justify aggressive foreign policies.
Modern Relevance of Donald J. Trump’s Ideas and Biblical Teachings Concerning War and Peace
In today’s world, understanding Trump’s ideas on war in relation to biblical teachings can provide valuable insights into ongoing conflicts. The Bible often teaches principles of peace, mercy, and reconciliation. For example, verses such as Matthew 5:9, “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God,” present a stark contrast to the harsh realities of conflict.
Trump’s emphasis on military strength and deterrence can be seen as a protective approach, reflecting a fear of vulnerability. However, the biblical call for peace challenges leaders to consider reconciliation over retaliation. The contemporary relevance of these teachings invites a critical reflection on how societies can seek resolutions that prioritize dialogue and understanding over armed conflict.
In practice, this means encouraging leaders, including those in positions like Trump’s, to embrace both strength and a commitment to peace. Diplomacy, international collaboration, and humanitarian efforts are essential components that align with biblical teachings focused on creating a just and peaceful world.
Conclusion
Donald J. Trump’s views on war reflect a complex interplay of historical, societal, and human factors. His perspective underscores the significance of military strength within the context of personal and national interests while simultaneously sparking vital discussions about the ethical dimensions and consequences of conflict.
Exploring the relationship between war and human nature reveals how instinct and societal influences contribute to conflicts. Education emerges as a critical tool for preventing war, nurturing understanding and empathy among individuals, which can help to foster peace.
As cultural narratives continue to shape perceptions of war, modern leaders are encouraged to consider the implications of their policies on both national and global scales. The lessons of the past, drawn from biblical references and historical contexts, serve as reminders of the moral complexities inherent in decisions about war.
Ultimately, the ongoing dialogue about conflict and resolution highlights the importance of interdisciplinary insights and the need for a balanced approach that seeks to understand the roots of war while promoting peace and unity within diverse societies.

I hope this helps shine an even brighter spotlight on the incredible work you and the Global Citizen team are doing.
And yes — I’m honored to do the little I can to help promote it. Because this matters.
Global Citizen is proof that you can mix pop culture, #tech, and purpose to drive real change. $40 billion unlocked. A billion lives impacted. All through a movement powered by #music, #activism, and one simple idea:
"Anyone can make a difference — you just have to start."
Michael and I talk about:
The power of #socialmedia and gamified activism
Getting John Legend and Coldplay on board
Using tech tools like #Salesforce, #AI, and translation platforms
Why young people aren’t waiting — and politicians better pay attention
And yes, there’s a bonus chapter coming soon from his book — The #Innovator. You already know I invited him back for that.

The power of #socialmedia and gamified activism
Getting John Legend and Coldplay on board
Using tech tools like #Salesforce, #AI, and translation platforms
Why young people aren’t waiting — and politicians better pay attention
And yes, there’s a bonus chapter coming soon from his book — The #Innovator. You already know I invited him back for that.

We glorify “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps,” but the reality is: some people don’t even have boots.
UBI doesn’t replace hard work—it makes real opportunity possible.
How many Einsteins and Da Vincis are stuck in dead-end jobs just trying to pay rent? How much talent are we wasting?
Let’s give people a chance. ❤️

#CivilResistance scholarship recommends #SocialMovements adopt a #nonviolent (NV) strategy for #SocialChange. The #violence analyzed is usually #ArmedStruggle, but it recommends NV in all tactics (thus excluding property destruction, #rioting, confrontation w/ #police). Benjamin Case's excellent "Street Rebellion" shows movements involving rioting are more likely to be successful, largely b/c riots lead to wider #CivilSociety participation in movements. Well-researched book!
