We cannot beat them, as some believe, by just ranting (plenty of ‘influencers’ do that already) we need to take steps to protect ourselves and engage our communities on the issues as they become apparent.

There are some who, in response to the ‘you’ll own nothing and be happy’ essay sent death threats to the author; Danish politician Ida Auken. Regardless of her politics, her personal views or visions of the future we must be better than merely screaming at these people. They will match threats of violence with increased control and further violence. We have to engage and confront their arguments IMHO.
