Robin Hood vibes 🏹 My good mate nicknames me RH 😂
If 25% agree could we be in for a good chance to “topple” from the terrible management of our current world 🌍 to solid fair progression?
Great changes from one book? A dream there is an alternative world where it’s not a case of the rich getting richer while the poor get poorer.
Some truths held up a mirror🪞 I was embarrassed – as a human 😳 – to reflect.
Change/transformation 🐛 🦋 is often feared but it’s the only way to evolve – stagnation, misinformation & denial should be feared more.
There can be beauty in tradition; if it’s not broken, don’t fix it? But some things are very broken 💚 🗺️ An “urgent unmasking” 🎭 “of some of the most insidious yet overlooked ideas of our era.”
Burying my snout into this gave me an education & a sniff of hope, despite some of the dire political & environmental circumstances we endure in 2024.
I won’t delve into capitalism, neoliberalism & politics. Or plough through the complexity of where it’s all gone distastefully sour –
Instead, I’ll end with something “right” which happened (recently) in England, off the back of something else that happened which was unfathomably “wrong.”
Look at the U.K.’s seaside 🏖️ town, Southport & how they responded (as a community) to the latest tragic events; dignity, compassion & ultimately “decision-making” between them, outside of the Government.
The townspeople rapidly – hands on – fixed damage from the racist riots; coming together imminently to fund small local shops attacked & honouring the victims- little girls lost 💖💖💖 – with spectacularly organised flower displays – tended to daily, looked after with routine, precision & respect. Plus, a beautifully conducted vigil. All while raising thousands for the families affected.
This book serves as a reminder of such “community power.” And highlights grave & unforgivable injustice on an insurmountable scale.
