We do expect opposition to the movement.
Ugh.
We expect opposition from the extreme ends of the political spectrum. There will also be reasonable skepticism from moderate people. Big business will oppose this as will many politicians and world leaders. People already in positions of power are understandably fond of the status quo. But our experience is that most people, once exposed to the idea, quickly become supporters.
The People Know
We all know in our heart of hearts that the status quo is failing us. We know that our governments aren't doing enough. We know that the UN is failing us. We know that without enforceable global law, nation-states will continue to use war, possibly even nuclear war to settle disputes. We know that competition between nation-states and competition between big corporations will delay and defer addressing the climate crisis until it is too late. We know that the the billionaires and big tech companies will continue to pour billions of dollars into AI, without consideration of the grave dangers and without any proper global oversight.
And in our heart of hearts, we know that the change has to be led by us. That is what this movement is all about - bringing the change that we need to create a peaceful, habitable, and human future. It's been done before. There are very few Monarchs with any power left in this world - and you can be assured that they did not give up their sovereign reigns voluntarily!
No, the citizens decided that they were no longer prepared to be ruled by a Monarch who was not adequately addressing the needs, hopes, and desires of the people. They decided that the status quo was not good for them. So they demanded change, and they got change. Today, we also know that the status quo is not good for us. In point of fact, it threatens our very existence. So we demand change.
Because the real danger is the status quo.
Let's oppose that.
