An amazing article.
But it’s literally a horribly dichotomy if they think those are the 2 solutions, either worship the State or the Corporations, which are pretty much the same thing.
You just summed up the insanity of the right/left debate. Those who are mired in it do not realize that they are both arguing for the same thing...just different masters. I realize a few years ago how absurd the entire political spectrum/debate was. Why did nothing change? Because the right/left dichotomy is nothing but a show...window dressing meant to keep the general population occupied.
The right doesnt run the show nor does the left. It is the bankers who run the sow. They control the currency, they own the majority of the largest corporations, the politicians, hence the government, is in their pockets, and the school curriculum provides the indoctrination they need.
Free market people want to espouse the virtues of capitalism like it is nirvana. Perhaps what we are witnessing is the true end result of capitalism. It might take decades or even centuries, but maybe the true outcome of capitalism is an environment where the few control most of the means. They win the game of monopoly while others fail.
How many take the time to consider this?
You can't even blame the banksters, they haven't existed 1000 years ago but it was still the same thing going on under the Church.
Yeah as soon as the Church lost most of it's power, suddently it's not as threatening anymore.
So Decentralization is imperative if we want to live in a free world, centralized power is literally like cancer.
No I don't think you understand it, I think it is a dynamic cycle of life & death sort of like how easter philosophers, Buddhists viewed the world.
Things have to constantly change for us to have freedom. Whenever you "settle" for any ideology, it eventually corrupts itself and it becomes too comfortable and entrenched with itself. I don't think that is a good thing.
Not many, only people who genuinely want to see the truth. And it takes integrity to admit if you are wrong which I did, so I don't have to live with contradictions in my head anymore.
It takes courage too. Going against deeply held beliefs is not easy. We often have a part of our identity tied up into that belief system. I understand where you are coming from. ...I had the same "talk" with myself a couple years ago about my political outlook which was derived in large part to my upbringing. Like you I didnt suddenly jump into the other camp but stepped back and question the entire system.
I didn't went from deeply held beliefs to something else. I already knew this, I just tried to rationalize and lump together 2 contradictory things. I should have been critical and selective about certain items. Perhaps that is the propaganda, to try to put something evil in the good basket to mask itself.
It's also a psychological barrier in some way. People feel they have a vested interest in being right and in a social context not losing face.
