Proactivism

Know your opponents and take the cause to them.

Remember that your opponents will always be flesh and blood people.  Don't be distracted by corporate  veils.  Corporate entities have inertial lives[1] but they do not have consciences.

Behind every faceless and seemingly unaccountable corporation, government bureaucracy, criminal syndicate, fundamentalist sect, or other organisation there are people - flesh and blood people.  At any time within each of these entities there are individuals who are focal points of power[2].  Often they are not the nominal leaders.  Identify them, know them, and influence them directly.

In any swirling multitude, in any crowd, in any organisation there are ring-leaders.  Don't take your eyes off them.

An individual who acts without integrity[3] will have many skeletons in their cupboard.  Find their skeletons.

Protest marches and civil disobedience have had their time[4].

Key decision makers need to be identified and influenced.  They can be influenced by appealing to their reason, their conscience, their self-interest, or through their peers and influencers[5].

Violence and intimidation are inconsistent with the core value[6] of  Truth in Uncertainty  and are not options.
