Let's put the people back into power. More options on the ballot is how we do it!

We can re-shape Politics and How it functions at the foundation, expert level understanding of specific contexts can become “worldview votes” to score specific issues and policy, and communities can vote in concrete measurable terms what they want. Slimy politician tactics won’t work.

For access to data for data analytics on political violence, and other crime related data, a great source is the Open Source Intelligence Community, and you can learn detailed breakdowns for free - The Prosecution Project

The Prosecution Project (tPP) tracks political violence--terrorism, extremism, hate/bias-motivated crimes, political protest--occurring in the United States.

Key figure from the article, using data from @prosecutionproject.bsky.social, shows just how clearly the right are responsible for most political violence in the US:

There are valid open source research paths towards making Open Source Manufacturing generalizable for locally manufactured electronics, solar panels, windmills, and batteries. We don’t need government to change or to run our economy - we can make monopolies behave or cut them out, and source local.

Much of the necessary critical research and engineering has already been done - Fully Open Source 3D Printing (Voron) and CNC Machines (Millenium Machines) exist, along with fully Open Source Software comparable or superior to commercial equivalents. Among a lot of Research and Engineering.

We can organize to make Open Source a means for the average person and local business capable of outcompeting Monopolies, by doing so in an aboveboard manner we can prevent misinformation and the use of subversion of any singular organization.

No singular group can do this, the people must.

Corruption is too pervasive in the modern day, and far more organized, any attempt organizationally to oppose power will be strategically maneuvered out of existence.

The only feasible way in my opinion to approach solving organizing everyday people is through Open Source Solutions.

or at least this has been my experience at virtually every democratic event I have ever gone and talked to people at. Most of the people there seem to treat it like a professional job they don’t enjoy being at.

Of course not everyone will be the same.

The Democratic Party does not care to organize from the bottom up, their focus is on ‘leadership’ - Union Leaders and Corporate Leaders. They only care when it comes to getting votes and volunteers, and they are too focused on protecting their monopolies to use volunteer brainpower.

Also, so you know, this video was censored when it was posted on X. Props to BlueSky for not censoring it.

The two major parties are undermining the first amendment, banning and restricting Ballot Initiatives to get rid of countermeasures against unchecked power. Check out this video from PBS
