I respect your freedom to have your views and to express them and will fight to the death for your right to have and express them. This is not contingent on whether or not I agree with you. It doesn't matter where you live, what color your skin is or any of that superficial garbage used to create division.
I for one don't believe that I have any moral right to vote for something I want and by proxy, have it forced on anyone else. Regardless of who is right or wrong. If there isn't a victim, (whether person, property or business) when it's force by threat of punishment, it's tyranny and assult. Do you own yourself, or does someone or something else?
"Without Government, you might be stolen from, assaulted or oppressed. With Government, it's guaranteed."
If the things that are required to have a country are by default oppressive, consider me a prisoner with no better options. Just because you or I don't have the answers to a problem, doesn't mean that nobody does or that we as humans aren't intelligent enough to figure it out. Just because you can't imagine a different way of doing things doesn't mean it isn't possible.
Governmental established infrastructures allowed us to get where we are today. As have the individuals who; mostly through threat of violence, deceit and manipulation, have been unable to recognize and/or express the cause of our griefs.
As for a perfect system, I doubt utopia is something any of us will see in our lifetimes. Especially since utopia is essentially subjective.
As for the corrupt press, that's why I haven't watched television in 12 years. It expands far beyond just the press to all televised, radio and social media and forms of entertainment. Best decision I ever made was to turn off the tube. The education [indoctrination] system may rival or surpass the media corruption, however.
Just a theory but I believe we are where we are in our current state of the world because the entitled elitist monarchies that have run the world for thousands of years that have never completely died out. The ones who have, are replaced by other sociopaths. Historically they operated publicly as Kings/Queens or some other useless title, but have progressed to functioning more behind the iron curtain. The puppet masters pulling the strings. The Kings/Queens, Presidents and all their minions, etc. of today are the puppets. They are there so you have someone to point the finger at. Look at what the left hand is doing while the right one is doing something else. The ultimately simplistic misdirection.
I think they know most of the games to play and systems to implement in order to control populations. They fail every time but on average it takes around 400 years to fail. They take what they have learned from their failures, add it to technological advancement and do it again, and again, and again. They always end up stealing everything they can too.
These occultist plutocratic sociopaths and narcisists are in effect trying to create their own utopia at the expense of others. They don't give a damn about you and me and the best way to make sure that we don't just throw them out, is to make sure we remain divided and not paying attention, exercising critical thinking and TRUE investigative journalism. There aren't many easier ways than through Religion, Race, Economics and Politics to keep people intentionally divided and arguing among themselves instead of addressing the real causes of the majority of our problems as a species. Hint: it starts with realizing that you can't delegate a right to someone or something else that you don't have and that doing so, is immoral.
Who am I? I am nobody. I'm not important and people that think they are important, are less important than those who think they are.
I started out being basically "centrist" in my political views. Moved to the right/Republican viewpoint for a while, then Libertarian, then I finally started to see the whole picture in a much different way than is presented to us through the "mainstream", at which point I said "F politics". This whole thing is an iron web of deception, control and theft.
That's when I spent so many thousands of hours doing research and learning as much history, geopolitics, sociology, psychology, economics, etc. etc., that I could before I nearly went crazy diving into that rabbit hole. I got out of it about 7 years ago, thankfully. However, I certainly learned more in those years than I ever did in school. I've likely forgotten more than I've learned but I didn't come to these conclusions easily. I didn't even realize how bad things were until many different perspectives were available to me for review. It's not even remotely close to an uneducated opinion.
I doubt you and I will ever agree on most of this, which, well, fine. But to be honest and blunt, if you're forcing me to do things I don't believe in or find to be immoral because of your belief structures and willingness to capitulate to a ruling class and impose your will on me by proxy, I frankly find that offensive, hostile and contrary to what real freedom is. You don't own me and neither do the goons you believe in and appoint.
I'll end with, "None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they're free."
I wish you all the best. Have a nice day.
Good topic to write about. We are seriously not free. Our activities and actions are being controlled by people of higher power
