The Dreamers will achieve nothing because feet on the ground is the only basis for hope

I was at a meeting last night that has been banned from Facebook ( many many times ) and its members shot at and  deregistered from their professions .
No  we weren't  all anti-vaxxers and  conspiracy theorists,  but  we were proudly symbols of the many  people who don't accept the political rhetoric of the moment . 

What a wonderfully lively and freeing community it was,  and the leaders hold similar meetings across the country they represent a large component of the thinking electorate -- that are now actively silenced.
What worries the already worried fanatics in power is that groups like this across the country  have a unity  - a unity not of mind and purpose or even action , but a renewed unity in the only thing that really matters - freedom of speech and individual action . 

As all people should note,  governments and their hangers on only pretend to be unified and their life cannot last. 

On the same day I also went to another big meeting of people rejecting the current political rhetoric . a  farmers meeting who were not there in the square to play politics, but to call for specific actions to limits the risk of disease entry into Australia  from Indonesia.
Farmers don't know everything, but they have seen the Luddite Labor Ludwig  solve a problem he didn't understand, let alone anticipate ; which is what you must do if you want to keep your farm.
Ludwig was yet another  unqualified unbusinesslike type who  killed the cattle industry without even thinking about it.. And as everyone at both meeting knows , the city , in a fit of peak could still do the same . 
All both groups and all those hundreds of thousands of farmers  who are too busy sorting out fluids in the mud all day want is (  as Jeremy Clarkson shows in Clarkson farm ) for the incumbents to absolutely stop pretending they know what they are doing to change the world.
Clearly their fanatical attempts to resist freedom of speech first , the basic actions of living now and great forays into foreign territories will soon come unstuck.
