The things we need to do
These are the things we need to do in America:
Stop working for and buying from evil- this will take what some might call sacrifice, but we might call responsibility. Affecting bank accounts and profits is the only way to change some minds.
Start working for, buying from, and otherwise contributing to your community in as many ways as you can: volunteer, donate, bake and give locally and directly. Remove government, beaurocrocy and waste from what you give to and take from others.
Violence might help the process, but cannot stabilize us afterwards.

While i entirely agree. I'm extremely doubtful we'll get out of what's coming. I hope we all do, but people have had more than enough time to realise this world is a farce. (EVERYTHING PEOPLE, ALL OF IT!)

If it all burns down, so be it! Then, we get to recreate ourselves from ashes!

Most of us apply it at least occasionally. But I also understand I am a poet of hope.

That would mean no more Amazon! (clutches pearls)
They've made exploitation of poor countries the crack-cocaine of the poor American class. The way to achieve the dream is to look the part, act the part, have the things, and you can buy it for $1.97 on Shien. Who gives a shit if someone's 7-year-old kid worked 19 hours to make it, it's neon green and FABULOUS!
There isn't a way to reduce consumerism without reinventing commerce. We don't make anything anymore. But our dogma is to get everything.
Your words make sense, but you're screaming them into a tornado.
Keep screaming, man.
