I think you are doing something positive by spreading TROM.
I also think Occupy Wallstreet was an attempt to create win-win solutions, by working for solutions through consensus, giving everyone a voice, and not letting anyone get too much power. Certainly, the world was not ready to switch to a new system overnight. But if everyone waits for the world to be ready it never will be.
Just spreading good ideas will eventually have an impact, I feel, because most people at their core would rather live in a world that is pro-life. Stress, anxiety, and trauma can interfere with that goal, but healing those things may put us back on track.

So what would have happened if some really good guy like Jesus Christ were in Germany and ran against Hitler. He would have lost because the people wanted a strong militant leader who told them they were destined for greatness. Same problem now. Setting up my soap box and telling people how to live will only get people listening who are ready and willing to hear my message. During the Viet Nam war era the young men of the USA were pressured by the government to go kill the yellow man. Many of them saw this as wrong and dissapeared, refused to join the military, burned their draft cards etc. Eventually the war ended partly because the people who would have to fight refused to do so
