But, in regards to macro change, you do nothing. Absolutely nothing.
In totality you have a small negative affect on the causes you say are so important to you.
If you asked me a year ago what political group I associated with I would have told you I was a progressive.
I was most certainly not a libertarian or even a conservative. I was a full out far left liberal.
Now my views have taken an hard 180 degree turn a massive lurch to the right. I am not an anarchist, but my sympathies are now much much closer to anarchism.
AnonyMint's work especially his his outstanding outside writings (those not published on this forum) highlighted in the Economic Devastation thread helped me see the big picture. I had a number of the pieces floating around in my head already. I knew something was wrong with my worldview but had not figured out how to put the puzzle pieces together. I like to think I would have figured it out on my own eventually. However, I was starting from such an erroneous starting point that putting it all together without an outside catalyst would have taken me years at best. For me AnonyMint's writings served as that catalyst. I am certain that I in turn will act as a similar catalyst for others.
In short, I profoundly and completely disagree with your statements above.
I'm not talking about his blog. I am talking about him bringing that stuff here to a speculation forum. I think his efforts here are a net negative.
