You know, there's really no secret conspiracy. It's out in the open. It's public knowledge that K Street is full of corporate lobbyists who serve as the go-betweens in the private-public partnership of plutocrats + politicians.

We know that legislation is bought and that politicians take bribes. They submit and pass legislation handed to them by corporate lobbyists. Everyone knows that the wealthy evade taxes—see the Panama and Paradise papers—while seizing control of OUR tax dollars for their personal benefit.

We all know that fossil fuel profiteers have prevented the human race from making any effort to hand over a habitable planet to the next generation.

We know that virtually every official institution and system is complicit in these unfathomably evil actions.

Now that we know, what should we do? Scream the truth ceaselessly from the rooftops. And engage in an unending program of noncooperation including but not limited to: work strikes, refusing to pay taxes, sex strikes, unionization, general strikes. If necessary (and sadly, time is really short now), we may need to engage in sabotage of the physical machinery of the tyrants, in particular the tools and materials of fossil fuel production and distribution.

We know what to do. What will it take for us to actually do it?
