Andre, being aware of the uselessness of certain gestures does not mean that you have to adopt an attitude of pure spectator, the freedom of action is modest, all the more reason to invest it.

You wonder:
Sometimes I wonder how the countries got up after the wars? what about debt before and big spending during wars? how did it all work out?

The war of 14/18, for example, (besides the regular budget), was financed in France by national loans: individuals paid "gold for victory" and then these loans were repaid in devalued notes , as much to say in monkey money.
The "germinal" franc having previously known a very great stability, people were not wary, having never known this inflationary phenomenon.
The budget was however then permanently "weighed down" by war pensions (invalids, widows ...).

peaceful demonstrations also give a level of dissatisfaction, it is like a strike or one makes the leader feel that one is not in agreement with their way of acting.


However, all forms of demonstrations are not ineffective, for example raising awareness through a documentary or public representation, or better still through a boycott, etc. Its methods have proven their effectiveness ... but this remains effective only if there is no questioning of the system.

As far as "revolutions" are concerned, the interests are so immense that all small groups of opponents are quickly infiltrated by entities which become their final goal.
I put "revolution" in quotes, because most contemporary revolutions are not even made by the people, but by military-economic entities aiming to remove "non-aligned" leaders.


If I try to understand in this file you say that whatever the actions, the type of governments there is nothing to do just look.


No, on the contrary! The first phase of the action is the reflection.
It is on this point that everything is played, how is it possible to build a house, if one does not have a plan or at least a mental diagram?
Lack of an effective strategy = run to its loss.
Except for most of the "citizens", reflection is the big missing from the process, yet it is the very basis of democracy.
It is a critical phase, because it induces a questioning of prejudices and of its "frame of reference", it is for this reason that many people end up avoiding it.

I think that each and everyone has a small role to play in this chessboard and involuntarily, or by convenience, we participate in growing this invisible, legal mafia, which controls all countries.


You have understood everything, indeed it is by a multitude of small acts quite insignificant that we build and perpetuate the current system.
In truth, the paradigm shift will not be by bloodshed, but by renunciation of each to the current system, renunciation which multiplied by the number of "penitents" will put an end to the system.
The strength of the economic system is also its great weakness:
Namely the tacit adhesion of consumers, without this adhesion, the system evolves towards what we want it to look like *.

* This is why it is necessary to make a constant effort of reflection, otherwise any change will be an illusion.

The first phase of the action is the reflection.

Here is a central maxim! Another classic version is: "thought precedes action".
Those who favor action or "pragmatism" either make the choice, without knowing it, of an action which is based on implicit premises, and therefore ignored, or think that it is too difficult to go against it. current and that it is preferable to try to bend it (the current), which cannot, unfortunately, fail to strengthen it ...

It is no longer fashionable, moreover it could well become a crime soon ...

As usual: by holding a demo to demand that others solve the problem.

The last demonstration, against the airport of Notre-Dame-des-Landes demanded only the abstention from the creation of new problems created by "others".
