There is a "core group of people" now. Actually, it's more than "core" and it's been around since at least the 70s. Now it's a majority. But that's not enough. Governments, big oil, the rich fuckers making money off both, everyone knew about climate change in the 60s and look where we are now.

We need to get rid of the money power politics faction but keep/expand freedom at the same time. This is the secret and nobody has found the key. Yet. I'm old enough to probably be dead by the time it happens. If it happens. But keep at it.
