What You Can Do Now

Bullies and Parasites

  • Recognize that some take and hoard by force and deception.
  • Call them what they are: bulliesand parasites.
  • Stop honoring or celebrating them—in history or today.
  • If you are one, stop.
  • If you see one, expose it.
  • Refuse to go along. Resist and restrain them.
  • Use every nonviolent means—legislation, protest, persuasion, teaching—to expose and stop them.
  • Change the laws, leaders and systems that hold others down

Slaves

  • Recognize that some lives have been exploited to subsidize bullies and parasites. Call them what they have been forced to be: slaves.
  • Stop the exploitation. Free those who are bound.
  • Ensure justice for those who have been taken from.
  • Reward honest work with honest pay, and increased effort and skill with increased reward.
  • If you’ve been exploited, speak up. Your story matters. Share your truth to help break the cycle of exploitation.

Mutual Care

  • Recognize the Golden Rule: Common needs require common obligations. For each, from each.
  • Enact laws that meet common needs by common obligation.
  • Repeal laws that benefit some by the suffering of others.
  • Ensure no one gains by denying others what they need.
  • Reject dismissive labels. Affirm the one we truly need: mutual care.
  • Foster all abilities and skills—create a better world together.
  • Ensure food, shelter, healthcare, education and safety for everyone.
  • Help others thrive by ensuring thriving for all.
  • Guarantee equal justice. If one is at risk, all are.
  • Reward extraordinary achievement for those who create—but never at the cost of basic human needs.
  • Care for others. Teach others to care.
  • Use your talents, time, fortune and creativity to lift others.
  • Honor and celebrate those who embody the Golden Rule.
  • Our Evolutionary Imperative: Mutual Care—not exploitation—is what ensures our survival and prosperity. We can replace human exploitation with mutual care. It is our evolutionary imperative. We can do it. We must.
  • Mutual care brings thriving and abundance for all. Its time has come.
  • Do it. Persist in it.

 

Resources and expanded topics are at BPS.online. Our first shared task is to systematically expose how bullies and parasites steal—who they are, how they operate and how we resist them. This QR code will take you there:

The more we are all aware of the devices and disguises of bullies and parasites, and the social, political and economic systems they manipulate, the more we can strive to free each other from their exploitation.

We will use this freedom to care for each other instead, to bring thriving and abundance for all of us. Extensive and growing resources for that as well are at MutualCare.online. This QR code will take you there:

The two sites are tightly linked, and free. Come aboard, and join your abilities to all of ours, for creating true mutual care. We must.
