I prefer peace as well, but this needs to get physical for it to get real.
Hacker News, The Guardian, The Atlantic, Medium, etc. will never overpower CNN, NBC, et al.
TPTB have a lock on the media. Do you recall how they ignored Ron Paul's early victories in the 2012 election? It doesn't matter that he ACTUALLY had a chance early on, because the mainstream media never let it be.
Peaceful negotiation cannot take place because the ruling political class is in denial. Meaningful education cannot take place because of a media controlled by TPTB. Not even virality can help either, because virality is fleeting, and eventually the media reverts back to its stupid self.
There needs to be something REAL to really move forward. Something physical, lasting, emotional. Something like OWS (mostly peaceful but widespread) combined with the Arab Spring (not peaceful but very emotional).
Shit needs to go down, basically, or the majority will never get awoken out of its stupor.
