Holy shit, this thread is a fucking roller-coaster ride. Dude's schizo-posting seemed to get worse and worse as time went on.
Hey Naru it seems like you're interested in politics and the state of the world, but your only real knowledge about them comes from YouTube videos, not any foundational theses backed by academic research, evidence and argumentation (also guesses about shit like a civil war in July that's absolutely not going to happen, sorry). If you want to make a difference, instead of posting on literally just walls of text on the Steam forums and KF until you get repeatedly banned, try some of these:
1. Get involved in local politics! Attend civic meetings and understand what your local government is doing, and how your input can change their direction. If there are low-hanging positions with little competition, maybe angle for one yourself so you can help synthesize policy. No one can change big-ticket items like federal elections just by themselves with no influence or organizing skills; starting locally and working from there is a solid foundation.
2. Get to know the conditions of your local area and help bring them to the attention of the government or use philanthropy to make people's lives better. Can your local elementary school afford supplies or are teachers buying things out of pocket? Even a small financial donation to a school can make all the difference in the future of some ambitious kid.
3. Join available revitalization and urban renewal projects! Adopt a highway and clean it up, build fences for a community garden.
4. Finally, help people in genuine need. Volunteer at a soup kitchen. Join Meals On Wheels and make sure the elderly people in your neighborhood are eating right and being paid attention to.
I think once you start doing some things of consequence and weight, and interact with people in the real world, and get an authentic sense of the struggles and aspirations of your community, you'll be able to focus your Posting Energy into something that could genuinely make a difference in someone's life.
