It's time to change that trend. 

As much as we all have issues with the establishment and the way it works, we can take a few tips from them on how to organise ourselves, because history tells us they're quite good at it. Whereas large factions of the alternative/independent arena have been disorganised and in many cases non-starters, it does feel like that trend is changing for the better, however, the Covid world brought a lot of really good people to the front line, the resistance had some really good people within it all of sudden, and great initiatives began, things like Stand in the Park, The Light Paper and others to name just two. 

So we're 100% taking steps in the right direction, and I think the circumstances of the world in a sense, forced us to, but there is still a long way to go and one issue which needs highlighting, because it's causing great harm and disruption to the movement. 

In-Fighting

The mother of all things that frustrate me the most about being a part of the alternative media, the bitchiness and in-fighting is so tiring and completely time-consuming at times, all the comments of ‘you’re a shill', ‘controlled opposition’ and many others to go with it, it's all very sad really when you think about it. 

Is everyone in the movement genuine? Of course not, I can think of one name in particular who I wouldn't trust as far as I could throw them, and we should always keep a close eye on people and always be open to new information that may change our view, but this instant reaction to call everyone a shill based on nothing is completely counter-productive to what we're trying to do. 

My attitude is simple, if someone is here for the wrong reason, then time will show that to be the case. Most people aren't bright enough to keep up an act for too long, and people will always end up exposing themselves in the majority of cases. The person I mentioned above as someone I don't trust has certainly done that, and the vast majority of people seem to have cottoned onto it. So their attempts to cause conflict and divide no longer have any power or impact, so their actions are pointless. 

I believe this is what will always happen. 

We need to judge people on what they do and what contribution they make to the movement, not what someone else says or thinks about them. I've read so many incredible things about me and my family over the years it's insane. I'm a woman apparently, and my wife is a man. 

Well, our kids are going to have some questions then aren't they…It's complete madness and only damages our attempts to make a real difference in the world. 

The Common Enemy

If you want to change the world and make it a better place for our kids to grow up, a world of less suffering, less corruption and more fairness, then you have my support, I don't need to agree with everything else you may think, and I don't need you to agree with everything I think, because we have a common enemy that is far more important than any of those fault lines. 

We accuse the establishment of using divide and conquer tactics when large factions of the alternative do exactly the same thing, any people who identify as a group rather than an individual have lost the plot as far as I am concerned. 

In this arena, we have flat-earthers, vegans, Pro-Trump, Anti-Trump, Crypto fanatics and various other groups I cannot think of at the moment, and many argue with each other and many also say that you're a shill if you're not part of their group. That's just another version of the woke identity politics that the establishment is pushing us into. I find it very sad that so many seem to be falling for it. 

The Time Is Now

We have an opportunity like never before to make a real difference in the world. People are ready for this change, they've become so frustrated and scared at the way the future is looking that they're beginning to open their minds to new possibilities and new information that they would have never considered a few years previously. It's an exciting time to be alive, daunting absolutely but very exciting at the same time. 

I truly believe we have all chosen to be here at this time because we want to be part of this change to make the world a better place. 

So let's stop fighting each other, and start fighting the establishment in unity, if we do that then we have the power to bring it down very quickly, and rebuild a world of our making.
