People have transformed politics into a football game. Who wins? Who loses? Let's fight with each other! Be angry, shout, become fanatic!

So everyone loses track of what this is supposed to be about: to organize our species so that we can have a saner society, one that allows us to thrive, feel safe, create, discover.

So fuck the left and right and everything in between. How about the focus is on what we want to do, and make that scientific. Like what makes people less violent? What makes them smarter and calmer? More helpful? Less destructive? Well there are many experts and organizations who can answer these questions, no need for politicians. So bring them forward, let them present their theories and facts. Let's test.

Focus on projects and approaches, instead of individuals and parties.

Like let's make sure people are housed, have access to food and all of their necessities, and then provide them opportunities to do more: become doctors, engineers, smart and good humans. Isn't that going to benefit us all?

Let's make sure people not only have access to relevant and free education, but time to digest it and use it.

This SHOULD BE SIMPLE! We have what we need to create a paradise on Earth.

But the drug of trade that gave birth to companies, interests, businesses, profit, competition, mindless media, and so forth, have completely blinded the humans. No one has a scientific plan for humans, the species. They all focus on short term gains for their own little tribe/group. That brings them more power, more money, more stuff, more opportunities.

Sad.

Only when people have access to their basic needs trade-free (via a Universal Basic Income or other means) we can talk about "some choices" they may have. Right now you cannot refuse to be abused at your workplace (working extra hours, work in terrible conditions, being poorly paid, etc.) when you depend with your life on that job.

Remove most "social" programs that are only meant for a selected few and are infected with paperwork, and provide people with a guaranteed Basic Income. Make the healthcare, transport, and a few other basic services free to keep them from derailing towards a profit path. And then we can talk about justice, climate change, environment, rights, and so forth.

We need some fertile soil in order to grow something else.

There is no way we can fix this society by putting more rules and laws. Bosses will abuse the ones they employ, businesses will take the shortest path to profit regardless of consequences, and overall people will live a boring and meaningless life doing nothing more than consume and waste because they have no time and incentive for anything else.

The first step we need to do is to provide people with their basic needs as trade-free. This should be on any activist's agenda!

TROM will focus more and more on this first step from now on. As much as possible. Scream, do, get engaged, collaborate with others. We need to fix people in order to fix the problems they create.
