A Parallel Civic And Workers Internet

Parallel Tracks for Clearer Communication

Platforms like Twitter and Facebook have a place in our lives, and provide value to society. However, their place and value are “free” market overstated, bitterness overpopulated, and civil communication overrated. We The People can do better America! 

.

We have been weaned in the last four decades on an ever increasing myth of “free” market magic, and to look the other way on its five finger discount, crony capitalism corruption of the E.P.A, D.O.D., I.R.S., Treasury Department, and the department of nearly everything else.

.

We have been led to believe fear, anger, and violence are our closest friends.

.

We have learned how freedom means a cold and creepy conservative government hand in every uterus, an AR-15 slung over every conservative white male’s shoulder, and a mass-shooting coroner based in every school.

.

We have been told that our neighbor, nearby or faraway, who may look different, is from a different nation, or who worships differently threaten us, so they should be shunned, or even gunned down by local or military forces.

.

The private communication platforms are susceptible to scourge and purge, immaturity and purity. There is no way to retrieve any sense of community from an overall perspective. Siloed groups can develop, but even those can be infiltrated because of their “free” market insistence on allowing disruption that inevitably proceeds to corruption. As long as some formation of their “free” market is evident, nothing else matters.

.

Setting up a new system that is wholly siloed from aggravated disruption, and communication corruption can provide the gateway to a better democracy. A system focused on civic participation, communication, and transformation — not party affiliation or machination — and also tailored to worker support, skill enhancement, and employment engagement, will help us navigate the future much more effectively.

.

If competition really was a hallmark of the “free” market, then this civic and worker system is exactly what it would order if it had any real stomach for actual competition. Lean and green will mean something brand new:

.

Making corporate America lean on its profit taking, wages raking, and general shaking down of workers will begin with a boom for the livable wages, job economy.

.

CEOs and billionaires will see their green piled higher than ever however, because the environment finally sees them dunned their green due, and severely overdue.

.

Such a We The People System is what I propose. Read more:

Watchdogging That Makes The World That Goes Around Come Around.

Photo by   Brannon Naito   on   Unsplash . First published on Medium . . We must take the watchdog concept and process to a much greater level. No person, politician, party, or profit pursuer is immune from the influences of power. The facts are absolutely in. We all know of someone close who has failed to make the cut. If you are human, you have been tempted to take the   supposedly easier   path rather than fight the power, and even fallen short of perfection yourself. If you think your perfection is still solid, you may be less trustworthy with power than those who admit to a fall, or a fail. . Since transgressions of power will happen, with potential in every entity, our citizenship requires us to be massively more vigilant, and always strong when fighting the power is required. To accomplish this task, we need an extensively watchful, wary, skeptical eye doing the work, along with counteracting stature and influence. That solution is what I present below, between   linked vignette

White Americans Make Riots Happen

Image
The first thing many, maybe most whites will do is deny we have any riotous involvement. How could we Whites be the cause when we are hardly ever seen rioting? Yet there have been infinitesimally few riots where whites were not the central cause . While Ku Klux Klan- type white supremacy was often an instigator, it is the larger white supremacist cohort (see image text below) , which includes most white Americans throughout our history, that has created the greater context, the massive matrix of unlit matches you could say, especially today. Even when riots "instigated" by blacks are included in our rioting history, white structured society would be the true culprit of our significant riotous past, our very recent past as well . The evidence to support this claim is infinite, and begins below. The definition of the term riot can be narrowed down to limit the political formations of violence to exonerate state violence, or violence by preferred citizens. Instead I define

Are Americans Who We Say We Are?

Howard Zinn,   The 5 Immortals , & the   6th   Player , Offer Insight into Our Ideals. Photo by   Matthias Cooper   on   Unsplash . Essay Originally Published on Medium . I have been looking into the background of historian and political scientist,   Howard Zinn , learning that many say he was not always historically   honest , or thorough in his citations and sources. That his interpretations were   slanted towards socialism , and consistently shaming the United States for its faults and failures. In one instance he supposedly explains how   during WWII many Black Americans were against going to war , using only a few secondary sources like personal letters, and such, as evidence. From my non-exhaustive Google searches, I can find no references to that claim of an anti-war sentiment by a large portion of Black Americans. However, at the same time there is a historical tangent in a   somewhat   similar direction, about our unconscionable problem of segregation and racism, and doubl
