Our world is being carved into two spheres of influence. For now, those spheres are limited merely to economic competition. But as the tension mounts, there is a real possibility that the China-vs-U.S. face-off could spill over into an all-out war — a global fight for worldwide hegemony — maybe even World War 3.
We must upend this disastrous dichotomy with a fresh option: The rise of a Third Force . . . a new paradigm in which we — not the billionaires, not the corporations, not even our political leaders, but we the people — start calling the shots from below.
If we’re going to work our way out of the existential bind we’re in as a species, the hierarchical, top-down power structures that have ruled the world for thousands of years have to collapse. With the most powerful activist tool ever invented in the palms of our hands, we in the streets have to take charge.
We’ve got the tools. We’ve got the metamemes. All we need are the numbers.
Let’s come together and change the tune of history!
