The internet is our greatest tool for this, yet most people's biggest connection to the internet is scrolling Instagram while pooping, porn, and falling asleep to YouTube or Netflix.

No need to make it personal. I am doing my best.
Ah, don't take it that way, I liked the meme.
"any means necessary" also means doing what's available to you, like organizing labor and tenant unions, joining debtor and credit unions, organizing your community, creating alternatives to capital, etc. It all builds to the big change we want.
If you can get people to understand:
-
Wealth is finite
-
Inflation hides that
-
Capitalism needs inflation to discourage saving and incentive investment, which makes saving pointless and gaining wealth a lottery ticket.
They can usually work out themselves that the only way for the 99% to get their share back is to take it from the 1%.
Sometimes you got to show that that the 1% have about 1/3 of the wealth.
Lost me at "together".
