CHANGE

How to change the world, without the people realizing it? You have to do it slowly, very slow. If you do your things, you can turn them into acts of resistance. Not by placing bombs or violence, but by being, sincerely, nice. Our society needs really nice people. By making compliments instead of stupid jokes, you are generating your own kind of energy. This will attract people. Some negative, to fill their own emptiness, some positive, because they share your intentions and are in need of support. This is an important aspect of change. Change is not necessarily positive. Globalization is change, but it is negative change. In essence: this view on economic growth is working against our fundamental destiny. It's destroying pluriformity, makes an end to diversity and human rights. How to fight globalization? You can protest the meetings of world leaders (governmental, ideological or economic/financial) and fight the police. The media will enlarge the violence and support the police(state). Sun Tzu would say: bad strategy. No gain and you loose important people.

You can fight globalization on a personal and local level. Personal, when you realize how you have been indoctrinated, manipulated and abused, and local, the destruction of craftsmanship, small businesses and destruction of elder buildings and infrastructure in the name of progress.

So my first advice is: “start studying your local history”, then you will realize the tremendous changes, that took place after World War 2. It will also be a way to contact local citizens. They know exactly, what happened. Study the new plans, your local government has and what the impact will be. Economy is strategic planning. For example. Waste is a colossal problem. For some it could be buried, but now it's getting burned. “Not in my backyard” is the basis for local resistance. Most citizens of my home-town were against building “Waste disposal-plant” within the city limits. They lost, the plant is functioning now and polluting the air and heating the sea. You have to understand, that it is on the edge of the biggest nature reserve of the Netherlands. I said economy is planning far ahead. This year plans were presented to build a “ship grave-yard”. In this part of the sea-harbor ships could be cut in to pieces, to be recycled. Again an enormous impact on quality of life (people and nature) and more water/air-pollution. But the waste disposal plant, who is now importing garbage bags from Italy, will have a source of income next door. The next step, will be a nuclear installation. How to react: stop producing garbage. All sorts.
