I want to destroy the system not behead a king
They are afraid, and rightfully so. They are few, we are many, and the only thing keeping them alive is our division and ignorance. I have advocated for years to propose a peace where they may live out the rest of their days and quietly surrender their claims to our power.
It can even be a tacit agreement; so far, we have wittingly or unwittingly delegated our power. By claiming it back, and using it purposefully and responsibly for the benefit of all, and simply ignoring them and their commands, threats and, finally, pleas, we could indeed manage to achieve the unthinkable: a peaceful transition to the better world, without a violent revolution, bloodshed or guilloutines.
All the armies and forces they threaten us consist of soldiers, and each soldier has a family. If our vision, our promise, our world is better than theirs, and believably so, I have no doubt every soldier will prefer to become a warrior and say "No, Sir, no!" and stop pointing his rifle into our general direction.
Their motivator is fear and scarcity. Ours is love and abundance. It could happen. It could happen in our lifetime, even.
Being in the german army (for 1 month^^)changed my view on soldiers by alot . We had generals openly admitting that the current wars are wrong and pointless.
I think it would be too naive to expect the hydra to not defend its source of power. If there is a peaceful solution I will prefer it.
I was homeless and hitchhiking through the country when a soldier – a high-ranking officer, IIRC – picked me up. The talk we had didn't take a month, not even an hour. But he made similar remarks, and other things he said changed my view greatly, and planted the seed of an idea: that actually, they are potential allies in our quest for peace. Nobody really wants war, except for a few psychopaths.
yeah, you always think of soldiers as this pro-war numbnuts, at least I did as Teenager. Actual Soldiers however care about their friends dying, so they hate it if it happens without reason. Its actually quite frequent the military opposes the state. I heard the US Army did when Obama wanted to attack Syria 2015, but Im not sure on that one.
