Reply To: On Tyranny Lesson 13: Practice corporeal politics
I really like your definition of how “living online creates a silo effect” – that is so accurate and a great descriptor. Even just visualizing the scene you saw – it helps me put what I read online into a larger context and not be too dismayed by the negative stuff I read. Knowing I’m just reading a sliver of information – and there’s a bigger world out there of other information in lots of different silos – is reassuring and comforting.
I also applaud your efforts to reach out directly to people to try and encourage them to get involved. I do think you are right about at least trying. It’s better to be part of the resistance, to actively make an effort to help and inform people, than to sit back and do nothing. (Nothing ventured, nothing gained). And being alongside people with the same goals helps us not feel alone and helpless.
I think every drop of resistance counts because the drops add up – just think of all the silos that can be filled if more and more people spread the truth and the same message. So kudos to you Dolores for your courage and persistence!
