You have the right kind of grassroots idea. Everything is there at our disposal if we can, collectively get off the crack-style additions that have been inserted into us since childhood, poor and middle-class alike.
But first, we need a stronger basis, a cornerstone if you will, that transcends the realm of mere opinion and easily managed and skillfully refuted propaganda that serves as damage control to transparency. With that kind of knowledge as both a potent infusion of verifiable inspiration and and infusion of enthusiastic, survival-based response, almost any combined effort could topple the empire fomenting insidiously around us. So many feel it, see it, and understand it, but so much is in place to distract them from that essential epiphany.
For example, a careful and devoted reading of the following comments and the article it refers to, will for some, be their very first glimpse and a shocking initiation to the concrete and looming rabbit hole that -- for the sake of complacent conformity and short-term -- survival-based rewards, is best left alone, ignored, and forgotten.
For those who want to see the rabbit hole and dare to venture into it, there is no shortage of facts and information to be found that can only take you, personally, deeper and deeper, to the point where there can be no turning back, ever again. That is the risk. That is the potential of revelation and truth. That is your choice. Take it or leave it. Reap whatever rewards and results come form one or the other. Above all, muster what you can to choose wisely for yourself, your family and loved ones, and for the future of our beloved prodgeny and inter-connected species. Maybe the idea of the results of your choice now will have a very long-term chain of results for which you can find some sense of responsibility and even pride about?

You then are left to quesiton, think about, and incorporate the other, easily discerned and referenced relationships to what has enveloped you in a thickening veil of pure delusions in place of facts that are becoming a mummy-like raccoon of passive, but well-rewarded acceptance. Some of us can easily accept death as a part of life and being born, no matter what our persuasion, but it is absurd and unconscionable to accept a form of mass-induced, opiate like death while still alive and existing. Consciousness is not meant to be imprisoned or used as a means to imprison oneself in exchange for pure, basic, undeniable requirements for physical survival and the nurturing and protection of our offspring.
I hope to meet the bravest among you in that vortex of the rabbit hole where the ordinary delusions and illusions foisted upon us in the name of our own benefit and survival are revealed to be the prison walls that limit our true, inalienable potential, and deeply intuited rights to being as we are in this vast and amazing, and even limitless mystery of a Universe-at-large. To some, that idea is scary, foreboding and surrounded by hordes of purely symbolic limits clothed in the scary symbols of demons and evil. For others, it is, like Dante's journey to the very core of Hades, the means to find the most certain, unquestionable, and deeply experienced form of freedom available to a conscious, existing being. That is, the Heaven, Nirvana, Satori, Peace, Ultimate Fulfillment, or whatever brand name you might know it as, symbolically. It is real. It is more real than the idea of real. It the home you visit as if for the first time and the summon bonum of every attempt to attain said. But the price is to be open, and brave, and discerning enought to accept an encounter with a process that provides no intercessor.
That is quite a challenge, I must say. It is easier to say that once you have encountered it. It is easy to have a profound compassion and deep empathy and understanding to those that you present the encounter to. Above all, expect your quest to contrast your current complacency and desire for ease and comfort. Then, dare to imagine the deeply realized result and reward of finding that the answer to the journey is to be, know, and experience who and what you are really are and what life actually is. That is, in a way that impacts, without egotistic goals and manipulative, profit-motivated schemes, those around you. Then, you are the stuff of the moon, and the sun, and the stars. You don't just rely knowing it, you are it. That is the difference.
That is where the change can and must come from. It is merely a recapitulation of the old Buddhist, Self-Realization, or a mirror of what Jesus said, "The Kingdom of Heaven within you!" and on and on from Sage, to Shaman, to Philosopher, and even some enlightened scientists. The goal is the incontrovertible fact that only come from the directness of a deep knowing. Something that has been diluted, perverted, and diminished as a part of the preparation for playing the game where the rules are defined by powerful players how know the ropes and, not only know the overall rules better than you can, they created, define, and change them as needed. How is that in relation to what you call stability, certainty, and a way of life?
