Disobey.

 


       To most people it is obvious that the world we live in today is run on completely unfair, inhumane and cruel ideology. It is a world that produces enough to see to everybody's needs but doesn't even attempt to distribute it in a fair and decent fashion. We have created a system that allows a few to amass unimaginable wealth, to grasp the world's resources and distribute them in the best way to maximise their already unearned wealth and privileges We then proceed to surrender our power to that small wealthy privileged parasite class and accept an existence of servitude, poverty and deprivation. We allow this coterie of plunderers and pillagers to engineer wars to help bolster their power and wealth. Their very existence depends on our obedient servitude and as long as we obey their rules and legislation, so the situation will continue, and the gap between the obscenely wealthy parasite class and the ordinary people will widen, and we will hand our children and grandchildren an inheritance of servitude and poverty.

          If we wish to change this cruel insane system to one of fairness and freedom, we would do well to remember the words of William Kingdon Clifford, English mathematician and philosopher, 1845-1879. "There is one thing in the world more wicked than the desire to command, and that is the will to obey."

Disobey.


          We all know that governments start wars, always preceded with the usual bubblegum and popcorn patriotic propaganda about standing up to evil, defending democracy and other phoney bullshit. No matter the trumpeting before the slaughter, the aim is always the same, power and control over resources, defending the wealth, power and privileges of the pampered parasites that control our lives. We also know that it entails the slaughter of the targeted civilian population, of course labelled a just and good cause.

 
         Why do we continue to be fooled by this smoke and mirrors of the state, we know wars never benefit the ordinary people of the aggressor state, nor of the people at the receiving end of the bloodshed, and we know that the ordinary people's blood is shed on both sides, but not that of the psychopaths that plan, gain from and execute these barbaric acts.


 I shall not serve.

          Wars only happen if we obey, so why obey, so many willingly serve this savagery and as long as we have those who serve we will have leaders and wars. Servitude and all its attendant evils disappear if we just walk away and disobey. We could do well to remember the words of Étienne de La Boétie.
            “The fundamental political question is why do people obey a government. The answer is that they tend to enslave themselves, to let themselves be governed by tyrants. Freedom from servitude comes not from violent action, but from the refusal to serve. Tyrants fall when the people withdraw their support.”
