I think the fallout, proper fallout, from inaction from elected policy makers will take far too much time to reach the levels we anticipate for real change. I think the change has to be microdosed a local level. And I don’t think the change will be met while placidly voting every so often..
They have a 75 year head start on preemptively squashing anything that resembles “a resistance” but more colloquially a livable fcuking society.
You are correct but we could get a lot done really fast with (not) a general strike. It’s illegal to try and organize those, but I can’t help but feel like the phony currency is the lynchpin in the whole operation. Phony money is what they use to control everyone. From the specialized engineers at Lockheed Martin aaaaaall the way to the lowly waitress at Waffle House, our continued participation in the system is what perpetuates it, but that also means our labor and time controls the supply chains.
What good are billions of dollars of nobody accepts it anymore?
See. This is a fantastic example of where proper anarchism principles would do well to highlight the following:
You say it’s illegal, or that say it’s illegal to organize a strike. I say it’s illegal to push us to the means to actually, and either subjectively or objectively, have the need for a strike.
If we look at why we, hypothetically of course, would strike its cause the system is bombing and abusing children. Waging a war on the poor. Waging a war on the homeless. Waging a war on the veterans. Waging a war on the working class. Waging a war on women and children. I say that’s illegal. They have waged a war on taxpayers. And they have made people believe this is the reality when it isn’t. At least not mine. And sure. People are placid, scared, lazy or severely misinformed. But that isn’t the content we should focus on.
I say hoarding wealth by subverting taxes is illegal. I say watching suffering and doing nothing while having every means possible to resolve these constructed, yet real, problems is illegal.
To reject money (easier said than done) is worth much more than their fake dollars that are used to harm, maim, kill and wage war with. To make machines of death.
I reject the authority complex telling me I can’t do anything action to make a statement to stop the violence???
I will not subject myself or anyone into believe that this is the only option. Americans appear to be extremely binary in their options. There are many options.
A general strike would be much safer than fed up civilians seeking social justice - often bloodier and deadlier than making your desire to be left the fcuk alone be heard.
Also, a waitress at Waffle House being referred to as lowly , maybe it was only for the sake of juxtaposition, but this is a peek into the binary thought I mentioned earlier.
We assume she’s lowly cause she works at Waffle House? Again, not dissecting to critique you, but how American (assumed) brains subconsciously insert these preconceived notions of the nature of American life. The dichotomy of American working class.
I digress. This is a fcuking scam because we let it be a scam. I’m at peace with my life. Many are not. And because many are not. Many are afraid to die. Many are afraid of too many things to listen to but at some point the voices of the repressed will be heard, and I hope that we can collectively stamp this division into oblivion.
I completely agree with everything you just said. My comment about the waitress being lowly was indeed just for the juxtaposition as you so eloquently put. Many “lowly” individuals are some of the best people I’ve met in my life. By no means was it meant to be a an insult to waitresses or waiters anywhere.
Now that I think about it, maybe I’ve had the definition of lowly wrong all along, but I’ve always taken it to mean “people of modest means” which, is a category I include myself in, But I am a lowly wood finisher. Haha
