I'm tempted to say that politics is the art of reaction, that the "best" politicians respond to events as they unfold and take advantage of momentum, so to speak.

Consumer culture condones and even encourages knee-jerk reactions.

Why are cockroaches bad, for example. Don't carry diseases, they don't compete for resources, etc.
Yet there's big-business money in selling roach killer, and all other manner of death.

To sell death, one must find a consumer audience already convinced of the necessity of that death.

Not killing roach / vegan diet / supporting indie (death-ad free) media are all real-world, direct-impact protests of "the system."

Alot us are "standing up," so to speak, and living protest every day in our ways. I look forward to you implementing your proposals
