This is a brilliant essay. It covers pretty much everything. You are right, there is a dearth of courage even in little ways, even on zoom calls with peers. It's because we live in a patriarchy and hand over our sovereignty to others. That's the cause. You also mentioned a solution which is stop paying taxes. Of course, because paying taxes funds the horror, funds the evil. So that's culpability. I relish the idea of people waking up and wanting to do something. A good thing we can do is not pay property taxes. But let's take it further than that, let's learn to be in a me/we condition rather than a me/me condition. You can team up with other piqued Americans and not pay property taxes. They are wrong anyway because you shouldn't pay taxes on unrealized assets. We need to assert that. So you stop paying your property taxes, and you give 50% of that to someone you know who could use it. This way we learn to lift others as well as ourselves and we don't get to feel so alone. This would make other residents support your actions and keep the money local.

For the intrepid ones, another thing that could be done is not pay the interest portion on loans. The interest portion is never issued into the money supply so it's just not there to be paid. Banksters get all that money for doing nothing more than printing out a stack of mortgage or loan documents. Keep the interest every month and share 50% of it with someone who needs a lift. Not some big conglomerate or charity but someone you are able to call up and who knows your name. And let's get this relovution on the road!
