in other words, study all antecedents or causative factors for “inaction” of a majority of people.
let’s enumerarte some of these factors?
majority of people in US and perhaps all lands r a nongoverning class.
ie, this class does not control to almost any degree, senate, congress, army, cia, fbi, city police, means of production, money/its use, politicians, education, etc.
since education is controled by the governing class, what does an amer child learn in elementary schools? absolute obedience to the flag; ie, to the ruling class, methinks.
in spite of slavery, lynching, segregation, two Abombs, eradication of the indigenes, ab 180 wars, a civil war, a child in US learns ab checks and balances, greatness of america, that god blesses (only) america, sacredness of the constitution, etc.
this child grows to be an adult, more misled now than ever because now she can read also papers and listen to politico-media-sacerdotal class.
some of them wld even kill/maim people to protect their vision of america.
and thereby fight for own children secondary status. but such an indoctrination is effective to a high degree everywhere.
it’s happened in germany ’33-45. it had happened to serbs just recently.
it’s now happening to affghans, iraqis.
and the main causes for these tragedies r miseducation and religious misteachings/intolerance.
that’s why almost all gov’ts not only allow churches to dissiminate lies, hatred, intolerance, but actually encourge it.
this ‘dogma’ is know as “divide et impera”.
and US is no exception. thnx

Take a look around - most people can't get off cars and it would only take some minor shifts to do it. It would take only a fraction of military spending or 'capital' being thrown at the corporate minority to put in decent public transport in every city and make safe bike lanes too etc. Why doesn't it happen? Because the majority of the 'the people' don't take action. I’m not sure how to take the first two comments here but it’ s important to heed the basic truths in this article.

Time is short the next year will tell the story of human civilization strange to write that but very easy to see with say a sixth grade education.

Yes, nationalize the auto industry and have them manufacture all sorts of public transportation systems. Why not nationalize everything and controlled by democratic institutions created by working people? Another great article on this fabulous website!
