How do you take down such a monster as this?
Is this the appropriate question to ask?
How can you gaze upon this construct...this system of power and money, authority over life and death, and not feel in your guts that it has to be ground into dust?
As I strive hard to earn money of my own, a living--a damn good living too--I am struck in the heart. I have long hated this monetary system. This whole system. All of its agencies. I hope I hold to my fucking morals. I want to win, like nothing else in the world ever, I have to win. I have to overcome and conquer my goals. Because I need much so that I can help much.

And the elder says to the younger, "You must partake in the system to fix it." And the younger says to the elder, "This system was never designed to help you, why are you so determined to remain under its chain and whip and abuse?"

I don't vote. A brief look at history, if you're not too afraid, will make the trends pretty clear. There are people with lots and lots of power, authority over other people, people who don't give a shit about you. People who are probably watching this, or at least are capable of watching this, as I'm typing it right now. And these are the people in power. Perhaps I don't know shit, but I don't understand how anybody really feels they have privacy and security anymore. Do I think we're all being watched all the time? No, not really. There's too many. Do I think it very difficult a concept to activate phone cameras and mics? A live feed into every key press on your computer or phone? No, I don't think that'd be very difficult to do.

Do we need governments...? I don't believe so. Government. Do we need organization? Sure, we sure do. Leadership, organization, progress as a group, but we don't need government for those things. Once you've let go of this concept of NEED GOVERNMENT and you just alter your perspective, it's impossible to go back. But there's also no pathway over here, so we're figuring it out as we go. But this is a revolutionary shift in the mass-mind. It's happening. Slowly. But it's happening. I've been watching it happen to many a mind, thanks to social medias. And it's tricky, because if it happens too quickly, it will be crushed. For one, humans are not very keen on big changes, we like to keep it on an even tempo. Which is...insanity to me. Once you realize there's a need to move and adapt and change, you do it. That's it. You want to hesitate? Fine, you die. That's life. Evolution, if you're into it. Adapt or die. For two, if it has too much form it will be fought and destroyed by the current powers that be and the generation of it constituents before us.

This shift is subtle and it is slippery and it is fluid and it is without solid shape or substance. It has to be. To survive, it has to be impossible to grasp. Because if it can be grasped, it can be grasped tightly. If it can be grasped tightly, it can be crushed. Therefore it must remain simultaneously in light and shadow.

Many times, the generation just before ours, our parents, they will defend the shit out of the current system. And I am not incredibly rebellious anymore, yet I still can only see the need to topple this thing. What else are we going to do? Honestly. Keep adhering to its rules and regulations on how to rule and regulate you? I see lots of fear. FEAR...the great destroyer. The great destroyer of dreams, destroyer of joy, of hope, the great destroyer of belief and sole fabricator of belief, of faith. FEAR, the bit and bridle in your teeth, the cracking whip, the jabbing of the spur. Fear, despot of human independence. And its competitor...empathy, selflessness, the opposite end of the spectrum from the egocentric extremity.

It isn't nearly as scary as it seems. Take care of each other, defend each other against people trying to conquer, living in the egocentric. Am I against violence? Absolutely not. Violence is the bomb dot com when properly applied and disciplined. Counter-violent action will save your life and the lives of your loved ones. Am I against governing my own use of violence with the joystick of pride? Hell yea, I'm way against that. There are much more effective ways to get what you want from life than picking pointless fights.

There's another problem though: Not forming new factions, which turn inevitably into governments and nations, religions and walls and barriers between peoples.

I accept that I will probably be long dead by the time this shift is worldwide and our bumbling species has transcended this current mind-state. Still, it's pretty exciting.
