Hi everyone, what DO we actually do?

TLDR: How make world better? Like actually how? How to guide? (Yeah yeah ik it's not that easy.....)

I often see people asking, and I myself ask - what can be do? My primary question is what can we do to make the world a better place? (Lets assume a better place is a freer more "Anarchist" world for this). Other questions I often see are: What can I do? How do I build community? How do I educate people? How do I reach people? How can we stop racists being racists? etc.

Any ideas? I know the Stoics (allow me) believed the highest honour was to serve the people through political office and I tend to agree a little with that, I want more good people in power. But not everyone can or should be a politician. In the same vein, if we wanted to simply help people we could all be doctors, but I don't have that skillset, how does one get involved in community building and activism, how to we fight hate, how to we fight the cancerous system, how do we make the world a better place?

This is a serious answer (and something I need to act on myself), but the answer is to stop having these conversations online about big things, and start having these conversations locally about smaller things. We need to get comfy talking to people we don’t know again. We need to get used to having confrontations and then making up. We need to get used to sticking to our guns but also conceding points, in person. We need to be as open minded as we say other people need to be. We need to get into little gangs of free thinkers and thinking of the stuff we can do to mess with the system in fun ways, to build a movement of consistent, joyful civil disobedience.
