3.5%......to Enough!
A Critical Mass for Species-Level Transformation
We found our way here because we recognized something that those of us once children...i.e., 'all' of us...have finally been forced to recognize: no one is coming to save 'us'...that 'us' which is 'all'.
It's finally dawning on us...no one really has come...ever...and no one ever will.
And that's because...it is...and always has been...simply 'ours' to do...in this time...this place...this situation...of broken relationships devolving into intentional systemic harm so that a few males can take and have more...'more-than' others...'more-than' the 'worthless-me' that infects their mind.
The global systems killing 24,000+ children daily aren't 'broken'.
Nope...they're working exactly as designed to ensure 'more-than' for a very few.
"Will 'we' continue to hunker down and stay low...'least uncomfortable' in our systems that have resulted...for millennia...in the harm of many of us...systemic harm all the way to blue body bags?
Or will 'we' reclaim being the collaborating social animals 'we' evolved to be...and now more than ever...so badly need...'us' to be?"
We've accepted tens of thousands of preventable daily deaths...of children, women and men...as the 'price' that 'we' have been willing to pay for 'our' unaccountable myriad of dysfunctions we couldn't sense how to 'fix'.
Dead children...should never be an acceptable price for anything. Yet...too many deeply broken males thought that price was a 'steal'...to impress the appropriate other broken males with 'my-more-than'.
In November '24, having watched U.S. "liberal" leaders costuming 'genocide' while claiming 'moral' authority in oppressors having non-documented imaginary rights...and after decades of 'our' repeated activist patterns producing continued failure...for 'all'...finally...'that' moment of insight that we had to acknowledge:
'WE' are the only solution...not because we chose some 'responsibility'. Its always been our sociobiology...as a social animal...for 'us' to impacted by all...and respond to 'all' ...which includes 'ourselves'.
And now , modern communication's 'information tsunami' has made it impossible to pretend anyone else was ever going to address 'our' failure of us 'all'. Children...camouflaged as adults...all waiting for 'someone' to address their 'hurt'...having never learned...'we' are the source and the solution of our 'hurt'.
That "Huh" moment? That's mirror recognition. That's species liberation from the societal cognitive prisons of mesmerizing...hypnotizing...'justified'...inequality...
and its unending, profound abundance of harm imposed on 'us' all.
Erica Chenoweth's analysis of 323 resistance campaigns found that nonviolent movements with 3.5% active participation never failed to achieve major political change...of national leadership...i.e., 'faces'. Think Obama...replacing a 'face' ...who was replaced by a broken child...whose face was replaced...ad infinitum.
Committed small minorities can shift entire populations to achieve 'leadership change'. But is the change of 'faces' an effective and sustainable 'goal'...or the change of 'us' who create and follow such profoundly broken male-children willing to harm 'all' in their desperate chase to quiet the broken child in their skulls...and our skulls?
3.5% of the globe's 8.2 billion humans is 288 million people. Of the State's 342M, 3.5% is ~12M people. Activists of all kinds...joined in a 'collaboration of resistance'. But are 'we' going to keep just changing 'faces'...or are 'we' finally going to address 'our' imposed harm...of 'us'...to 'us'...by 'us'...'our' harm of 'all'?
For the first time in history, we have the communication-infrastructure to organize collaborative learning at the scale of our harm imposed...daily.
Critical Mass Organizing Targets: Evidentiary Patterns of Imposed Harm
The 3.5% won't be organizing around changing "faces" - we're organizing around documenting and addressing the systematic extraction creating species-scale harm. Our collaborative capacity targets the evidentiary patterns requiring urgent transformation.
28,000+ daily preventable deaths - our organizing foundation 💰 Community Extraction Patterns
$62B+ community wealth hemorrhaging annually ⚔️ Violence Escalation Systems
5 to 110+ conflicts - extraction driving warfare
The 3.5% organizes around transparent accountability for systematic extraction rather than personality-based political theater. Each framework provides evidence for collaborative alternatives.
Critical Mass Barriers: Systematic Collaborative Access Blocked
The 3.5% won't organize through traditional activism - systematic barriers prevent collaborative abundance access. Understanding these barriers is essential for building actual critical mass rather than protest spectacle.
Demographic barriers preventing collaborative abundance access 🪞 Behind Ourselves Analysis
Demographic barriers to questioning with intersectional analysis ⏰ Wasteland Years Calculation
Years spent competing for artificially scarce vs collaborative abundance
The 3.5% requires systematic access analysis rather than abstract participation rates. Critical mass builds through collaborative capacity development, not protest mobilization.
