    A good Citizen is keeping His opinion by himself, He obeys the Gov and its ministries, organizations and anything connected to the Gov and its Propaganda. Comply, obeys, shut up.

    The UN SDG 17 are a great Marketing Campaign creating lots of customers. Health is what is promoted by the WHO ????. Your opinion is what is taught you by the Media and bought science ????. The real Problems, like environmental pollution, toxic soil, water and Air is done by…. right.. not You!!! The Problem was and still is created by Businesses, Investors greed, corruption, idiocracy.

    It’s called voluntarism, instead of unaccountable morons stealing your money, everyone takes time to run their local and Federal governments.
    The State does not solve problems, it creates them. There is no reason why a lawyer or used car salesman can lead or get classified clearance over a fireman, teacher or plumber, just because some lazy, uninterested mass of people elects them.

    NormⒶlize Medicare for all, worker owned co-ops and active unions. America is the only country on Earth without universal healthcare. Workers make the world run, workers should run the world.

    Excellent.
    Unfortunately, as I see it, individualism in Brazil is way more ingrained than knowing and understanding political parties, etc
    Here is a basic example: You enter a house in Brasil and the inside of the house is very clean and organized. You step out of that house and the sidewalks and the streets could be filthy. The individual living in that house do not consider themselves a citizen of the community. I could go on and on.
    I think your project needs to be presented at the federal or state department of education. Citizenship needs to be taught in primary school.
    Congratulations for your work and good luck.
    By the way, what do you mean by “see you on the other side”?

    This young man offers what sounds to be practical advice but why, just why do I suspect he’s a closet commie? Perhaps it’s his choice of terms, like revolution, but my spider sense is tingling.

    Excellent. Very reminiscent of the political system in the Starship Troopers universe. Not everyone should be citizens, only those educated and understanding of responsibility.

      Do you mean not everyone should be a citizen or not everyone should vote? Everyone should be a citizen of a country they’re born in or have ties to in some capacity and I believe every citizen should have a vote, technocracies can work though.

      @@Betweoxwitegan IMO: People who serve the country, pay taxes and are lawful are citizens and have a right to vote.
      The general lefty person should not be able to vote. Munching of other peoples hard work, laziness and decadency should be discouraged. Sure, allow them to exist but with no say.

    If the government doesn’t deliver, then the citizens have to. Sad, really. But it looks like it’s unfortunately necessary.
