This “spiritual” answer may not be a helpful answer, but “we” did. The government and billionaires hav no power when enough people said no.

All the weapons in the world mean nothing if no one is willing to use them.

“Solving” this problem will happen when enough people decide to live without violence and coercion. There likely will always be people that wish to use force to coerce, but if enough say no, the few violent ones will not be able to.

Of course if one person has a button that can destroy everyone else, then they can hold everyone else hostage. Right now a few people have almost direct access to these weapons, but mostly the power exists through the belief in external authority. There are many that will follow the orders of a few.

Pragmatically, I have no answers to how/if we can really get there. It’s a hope and dream in my heart.
