"When grassroots movements converge,... the particular merges with the universal as the claims of poor market vendors to keep their post in the old market merge with the plea to end the war raised by other speakers at (..the protest described earlier). Frequently, these "lesser voices" are lost as a movement gains power, but their claims are the elemental challenges for justice that ignite social movements.
A hidden benefit of global integration is the opening up of local protests against growing inequalities to a worldwide audience. This depends on a conscientious press whose reports are made available to a wide audience. It also depends upon data collection agencies INSPIRED BY HUMAN RIGHTS CONCERNS. The conjuncture of these two conditions made the Chiapas uprising to a wide reading public throughout the world. The press and human rights NGOs provided both a mirror for the indigenous people to perceive how the world was responding to their protest and a catalyst to world opinion."

I need leaders in all positions realize what parents are facing as we fast approach smart homes, neuralink and the obvious take over of A.I. on humans. I argue with my teenage son who says hes getting one weather I like it or not and my daughter is scared to get her nose swabed. Based on how I have been treated I am scared for the long term issues both of their futures will be forced to face based on what I have seen and been through recently. Leaders regardless of country or nation needs to realize what's happening on a global scale. There are safety nets to ensure whoever is requesting numbers and data arent just meeting THEIR agenda and lining that companies or their pockets to take away from another. At some point we have to address MANY human rights issues as A.I. advances and humans morph into cyborgs. This is a spiritual battle for many and many will opt to not get the device. Based on how Ive seen people get treated to not hop on this agenda I do not trust my children in this world if they choose not to get it. We must advocate for the humans that will be left without cyborg tech. There must be a global data company without nations agendas or companies that just want to scale behind it otherwise war will be inevitable. My fear is we are fast approaching that end point. Leaders and people in power are not addressing any of this. California's group homes for kids that disagree with parents social media rules will quickly turn into homes for kids that want to be a cyborg.
