Start telling yourself that the people are taking over...
Start telling yourself that we are going to win...
Start telling yourself that we have power...
Your brain is going to start believing it...
And you are going to start changing your behavior in light of this new belief...
Then the people will take over..
Because we will use our power...
And we will win.
The placebo effect is real. Study after study proves that positive outcomes result from positive expectations. According to the University of Michigan the placebo effect has helped people with depression, pain, fatigue, allergies, and even Parkinson's and IBS. It's a real thing. We can use this placebo effect to retrain our brains.
If it's possible to lie to others it's also possible to lie to yourself. You may not be in a positive headspace to believe something like "the people are going to win." But your brain can't always tell truth from a lie. If you tell yourself we're going to win, your brain will start believing it.
Repetition matters... the more times you say something to yourself, the more likely you are to start believing it. That's why it's a bad idea to say things like "I hate myself" over and over as a joke or ironically. It doesn't bring you to a good place!
But you can use the same strategy on yourself for positive changes as well. Stoics love this kind of stuff. Reprogram your brain to believe that positive change is coming and you will see opportunities you might otherwise miss. Pessimism and cynicism won't help us.

It's 99 to 1. I like our chances. We have gigantic majorities. It's not even close. And maintaining the status quo where billionaires have all the wealth while the rest of the planet lives somewhere on either side of the razor's edge of poverty... that's not going to last forever. The rich will try to stop the approaching change by paying a bunch of people to kill other people... but at the end of the day this status quo is unsustainable and it's going to end. It doesn't have to be a negative outcome. Think positive.
