Nature says: IF you want the current regime ( in any ecology! ) displaced,
THEN displace it!
Don't like Facebook's monopoly? Displace it.
Don't like political-parties' railroading our world into ideological cuckery?
Displace it!
Etc.
For effectiveness, it'd require leaders, which the anarchists prohibit from their world, so they're not going to help displace the organized-idiocy.
Communist & fascist imperialism will do EVERYTHING IT CAN to break any threat to their eventual-totalitarian-world-dominion.
Concentration-of-wealth-archy/oligarchy won't tolerate any such thing, either.
& worst is the rude fact that as people's contexts change, THEY change, so it has to be lead by people who've earned self-conquering, who aren't malleable in principles or integrity, no matter how much force they are plied with, or how relentlessly they are plied with that force.
The people who felt class-elevated to be hobnobbing with Epstein kept their mouths shut when they shouldn't have, simply because they'd be knocked lower down the social-status-hierarchy if they broke-ranks, & that social-pressure was sufficient to protect the entire Epstein-Class for decades.
That mechanism is in all of us.
It can be broken, through years of relentless pushing oneself into facing-karma, & breaking one's unconscious-mind's ignorance-dominion on one's life.
Just identifying some of the key forces/factors that have to be dealt-with, in order for global-grass-roots-revolution to work, among the populations who are educated well/correctly enough to value critical-thinking.
In all the regions where education did what Leninism & Fox do, prevent that ( remember how the Republicans eradicated critical-thinking from all their territory after Trump won his 2nd term? ) .. thos regions are no-longer recoverable, in WW3's next 6-decades.
One has to accept that only a fraction of humankind will fight-off ideology-displacing-reason, & that saving the rest, thanks to education, isn't possible.
Basic principle that Sunzi/Sun Tzu/Master Sun identified, 2.5 millenia ago: IF one is outnumbered, either defend, if one is strong, or evade, if one is weak.
Critical-reasoning is, globally, weak.
We either deal-with-that XOR we hand victory to the ideologues.
