Currently, we’re living through rising fascism, late-stage capitalism, and accelerating climate change.

We’re trapped in interlocking systems of separation — white supremacy, patriarchy, class domination, colonialism, and institutional supremacy — all designed to sort us into hierarchies and keep us competing instead of connecting. Capitalism fuels this machinery, profiting from our division and exhaustion while the very institutions meant to protect us become weapons against the most vulnerable.

So the question is: what the fuck are we going to do about it?

Most of us are too busy consuming outrage on social media to create actual change. The billionaire tech bros have us exactly where they want us: isolated, anxious, and too exhausted from performing online to do the actual work offline. We’ve retreated into digital echo chambers, mistaking our likes for impact and our awareness for action.

Yet here’s the brutal truth: If we want to protect future generations, we need to transform the culture that created and sustains these systems of separation NOW. Not just sit through the fuckery, but fundamentally change how we think about power, oppression, and possibility.

Change doesn’t just happen. It needs to be planted, nurtured, and grown through daily practice, real conversations in living rooms, and sustained action.

Watch Succession with your boomer parents and suddenly you’re talking about wealth inequality without anyone getting defensive. Start a book club with The Fifth Season and watch people naturally start connecting systemic oppression to geological catastrophe. The Good Place has done more to get people thinking about moral philosophy than any academic text ever could.

When you’re talking about dragon hoarding or dystopian governments, people’s defenses come down. They stop protecting their political identity and start actually thinking. Fiction gives us the distance we need to see our own systems clearly.

Changing culture isn’t about winning arguments online — it’s about creating spaces where people can actually change their minds. Because literally no one ever changed their mind because some dickhead yelled at them on Facebook. Yet they might change their mind when someone they trust helps them connect the dots between their own struggles and systemic oppression.

Every successful movement in history has happened because people talked to each other face-to-face, built trust, created networks of care and resistance that no algorithm could infiltrate.

The revolution will definitely not be tweeted . . . but it might just happen over coffee in your kitchen, or during the credits of a show that just blew your mind.

Welcome to FictionToAction, where we center relational organizing — using your existing connections to revolutionize your own living room.

Because the world needs changing, and it might just start with a conversation in your kitchen tonight.
