What is government? It is a hierarchy of people ( usually power crazy and evil people ) governing the rest of the population. We are born under a government, without our consent our freedoms are taken away and we are in slaved by government. What I think is most crazy is how people can except this and even promote this idea of government, sadly me being one of them for not to long ago. But I started to question a lot of it after I realised how much problems government cause and how little they actually do for people. Why should we be forced to live in a certain way when we haven't agreed to it and especially when the people who are in control are evil and promote war?
We don't have the right to choose what people we want to rule us until we are 18 years old and even then we are not sure that are vote counts. I don't understand how most people agree to give power to people they don't know, that power giving them the right to make decisions that effect them and their family. It's like we wouldn't give a stranger any power to control us in what we can and cannot do. So why do we give the government that power? We wouldn't give are money to some random person who promised to use it to make are life better. So why do we trust the government when they want us to pay taxes? I don't remember agreeing to pay taxes or follow rules that someone else has made. Why should I give money to the government when they promote war and they lie and tell us it's for are best interest?
As a quite a recent Anarchist I still have quite a lot of anger and confusion to how people can be so oblivious to the evil government causes. Any tips on how to inform people of Anarchy in good way? Please comment if you have any good suggestions!
Through generations of indoctrination, fluoridated water, trillions of dollars on secret mind control projects and control of the media.
I have come to realize that there are three classes of people:
The sheep. These are the people that love their matrix and are the very definition of the Stockholm Syndrome. They love the way their lives are despite all of the wrong that is being done around the world. As long as it doesn't personally affect them, then why bother?!
Those who are aware of whats going on, or have an idea of whats going on but don't want to talk about it or hear about it. The very fabric of their reality must NOT be disturbed. These folks will often plug their ears and hum a tune to drown you out..... normalcy bias anyone?
Those who are awake and trying desperately to wake their loved ones and friends up from their deep, deep sleep.
Truth is, some cannot or will not wake up to the horrible conditions in which they truly live in. Its a shame. Their government and the deep state are quite literally destroying the very essence of what it means to be human and no one seems to care at all. I have long said that the feeling in my gut tells me that humanity is coming to a crossroads in which the wrong turn could mean the end.
Hey @brdapwll, saw your great comment but didn't have time to write a reply until now. Your categorisations made me laugh, it was really fun to read even though it's quite a serious topic. I like to consider myself being in the third category. I know it's not always easy to fight for what you believe in but for me this is the only option.
I know it really seems like humanity is coming to crossroads as you put it but hopefully we will take the "right road" Anyway we can do our best and enjoy the ride until it's over!
Will keep up voting your good content, and wish you all the best!!
excellent comment @brdpwll!
Great post @johannes123! Cognitive dissonance plays a big part. In general most people just see the world as being the way it is and that is that. They cannot or will not believe that there is some hidden hand behind all of the bad things in life. It is only men and women who already feel there is something not right about the world that are able to accept the truth.
Thank's @tonyr! I agree, I also think most people just follow the masses and subconsciously choose to stay ignorant to what's happening... But It's also cool to see how many people are waking up and creating amazing content here on Steemit!
