how you going to fight something you feed off ...worship.
By replacing it with something else?
By realising we don't in any way "need" it... but sadly, most people are dumbed down so much they are almost drones now.
how do you fight it?
How do we fight it? Presumably, we overthrow those running it, and install a different system.
If I just sorted out all the world's problems, then I could have 5 minutes to myself. And you wonder why you can't motivate people or yourself!
I think the solution lies in the opposite direction, if there is one at all. It's a bit like environmentalism, the solution isn't to come up with some mahoosive doomsday device to save the planet, it's to do little bits and bats every day, by a majority of "concerend citizens."
And to not do things, of course.
Some of the things not to do i say first because everyone likes a negative here on this board it seems.
Don't ask for the government to do anything for you if you can possibly help it. Any benefit you ask for will be outweighed by the cost to others and eventually yourself. No more "someone should do something" type thoughts. If you are really arsed, get up off it and DO something. You have more power than you think.
Don't think some big friendly uncle is going to come along and sort it all out. The real world doesn't work that way. Ever. Uncle's need feeding, and a lift to the bookies, and somewhere to sleep and a fiver til tuesday for a hamburger today.......so on.
Do as little as possible to feed the beast. It runs on consumption of your energy, your emotion and efforts. This means that all that effort poured into trying to defy it just proves it's there and needs fixing.
I could go on all night. Best not though I am kinda wasting my time
Things to do then.
Spend less than you earn. This has the nice by product of making you richer, which is always good.
Having money in the bank means being able to tell people to fuck off when you don't like what they are trying to make you do, if you really object. More people do things they know to be wrong because of the mortgage than for any other reason I can think of.
Take time off. Be good to yourself. Despite what they tried to have you believe in school, you deserve it. Being good to yourself means you feel like being good to others too.
Realise that MOST of those "in power" are more suffering from an illness, a serious mental illness, than are evil. Everything they do is for the best of intentions. They have lies in their heads and they are more or less prisoners of them. GWB and others like him, while being a complete and utter fucknut and as dangerous as hell, probably sincerely believes in the shit he shovels. Certainly those who follow him with fervour do.
Ask questions. Not big questions, but little ones. "Do I need to sign this" is a good one. When and where are great ones. Who, yep that's a corker too.
In short, build freedom for yourself, which you will enjoy, and then show others you know and like how to do it too.
What if you provided better services and goods at a cheaper price than the state run enterprises? :cool:
Edit: Arg I hit post to early. Anywy, this isn't do-able if we are to survive in this world. The people in power, are often only concerned with gaining more. I don't doubt Blair is really good intentioned, but Dubya isn't. Sadly.
Thing is... I could try to exist self sufficiently... but they would get me, and stop me. They do... they demolished communes with Bulldozers, ffs.
I would do something, but one man is not a solution. A group of men, working together, is.
You asked for a solution you could use mate. I just thought of one. *shrug*
but ...the idea that we all behave in typical middle class fashion to bring the system down is laughable!
They are both irrelevent.
They don't actually do anything. It's the people in the small offices up and down the land who actually make stuff happen. It's the bored policeman/tax inspector/civil servant with no real desire for the job but kids to feed who need targetting if you want to change anything properly.
Why the hell would you want self sufficiency? People work best through mutual and voluntary trade. You can work for one of those multinational hoovers called corporations, but see it for what it is and act accordingly.
Nah bollocks. look, go out and go make three people smile you never met before and then come back and say you can't make even a small difference on your tod. Course you can. People are just conditioned to group solutions and group mentality (that'd be school again!).
What you need to ask, is why those people have no passion for the job?
I can make a small difference on my own. To do something like change the way the country is run, I need others.
Who said anything about bringing the system down? Just stop feeding the fucker and it'll drop off, same as all parasites.
Oh no mate. I am talking black market, favours for favours, cash on the hip and hiding as much as possible from those interfering bastards in "government". Sounds more council estate than suburbia to me.
In fact, as you know yourself, it's the people at the top and the people at the bottom who most often behave this way. Weird, innit?
It's kinda scary that the people who most often get my point of view are ime ex or current crims.
I suggest we live entirley outside it, until we have the strength to destroy it.
You made me think of Sheriff John Bunnell. "These Sorry Ass punk waited too late...and someone else had to save them!"
:yes:
i swear someone posted this classic thing which says
'offensive art will disappear at the moment people stop being offended by things all the time'
not all for violent action unless they take violent action
He's the man! Sheriff for three whole months!
"Officers though Osama was DUI... but he was trying to drive, with a bomb strapped to him! THey only thing he'll be blowing for a while is some cock in the state pen!"
I want it to happen now.
