Too few very probably, not self-aware enough of our own power (thank you for this feed;), but also too disconnected from other social movements history & knowledge, and facing a far right surge at a global level using disruption & communication guerrilla tactics. Don't you think so?

Trump’s Wish to Control Greenland and Panama Canal: Not a Joke This Time In recent days the president-elect has called for asserting U.S. control over the Panama Canal and Greenland, showing that his “America First” philosophy has an expansionist dimension.
