When Will the Tyranny and Corruption End? When We Choose to No Longer Support It

in #philosophy8 years ago (edited)

Is the coercive authoritarian government going away? Are the state gang thug cops going away?

Not anytime soon!

Why?

Most of us are afraid of living without the hand of guidance and the protection of our lives that is granted from authority.

Most of us buy into the illusion of "good" and "order" that the imagery of government and police invoke within us through our social conditioning.

We love our protective father-mother-nanny caretaker for taking care of us in so many ways.

Without the government and police to protect us, we would have to find someone else to pay for protection, or -- "god" forbid -- have to develop the personal responsibility and self-governance to protect and guard ourselves and each other as communities of caring people who don't tolerate immoral behavior.

Most of us can't realize, actualize and individuate ourselves to such a higher potential of living and life.

Most of us are unrealized, unbegun, unawakened, unconscious and uanware of our potential; "dead" in the coffin or tomb of unconscious falser, lower, unrealer living. The current condition, and our personal attachment to who we are "in-the-now" is locking our imagination to see how things can change and how to better things towards right, correct and proper change by stopping to do wrong.

We are afraid of not being protected by others, we want someone to protect us, because we don't stand up to protect ourselves.

We're not living up to the personal responsibility to defend ourselves, and live for ourselves.

We're abdicating our personal responsibility, to have other do what we should be willing to do ourselves.

Some people are willing to engage in that personal responsibility, but the confused and ignorant state of awareness in people through society, has people view personal responsibility and self-governance as a threat to the current condition, to the status quo. Those who want to be more self-governing, are a threat to the state which seeks to control and create co-dependence upon the state.

Some people are so afraid of having to be more responsible in their own lives, afraid to deal with the negative, wrong, chaos, evil and immorality themselves and with the help of others, that they want to keep centralized, authoritarian, corrupt, power structures in place to do it all for them.

They want to deny their own personal responsibility so much, that they demand others take that responsibility up for them through government and police.

Why should we protect ourselves, when someone else can?

Because that's part of life.

How can you survive and defend yourself if you're always depending on someone else, or some other group, to care about your situation and do something about it?

Why don't we care to do something about it ourselves?

Because we are prevented from doing so.

In some countries, you can't use a gun in your own home to defend yourself. They court will argue you could have done something else than shoot an intruder when you feared for your life. They were violating boundaries, but you're not allowed to have weapons to defend yourself. Instead, you need to call a centralized authority to service protection for you. Canada is like this, in case you were thinking of the US alone. The UK is too I imagine, since you can't even get a gun legally.

You're not allowed to protect yourself. You're not allowed to have a gun to defend yourself in your home. That's someone else's job to protect you inside your own home.

You're not allowed to carry a knife in the street in case someone tries to harm you. That's someone else's job to protect you wherever you go.

You're not supposed to be eternally vigilante for your own life and safety. No, that's someone else's job to be vigilante for your life and safety.

See the problem? We are engineered into falser selves that abdicate our personal responsibility, and drive us into a state of learned helplessness where we don't try to change things, to take action, because we are encouraged not to, and even threatened not to with the consequence of being locked in a cage for defending ourselves with weapons.

Only the centralized authoritarian gangster mafia that takes money from us through taxation to pay for their "protection" and "guardianship" are allowed to defend us from others. We aren't allowed to do that for ourselves.

More and more this authoritarian corrupt ideology spreads in society. This is abdication of personal responsibility, and acquiescence, subservience and begging for others to do something in your life that you are prevented from doing yourself.

We might want to be more responsible about our own lives, to be more self-reliant and self-govern our lives and deal with problems ourselves... but we are being prevented from our potential to empower ourselves and live rightly. We are conditioned to think that the personal responsibility of self-defense and being eternally vigilant for our own lives and safety... is somehow wrong...

We are kept disempowered and disabled to deal with things ourselves. We adopt learned helplessness in various aspects of lives as a result. In turn, our inability to act has the current corrupted condition persist and pervade into the future under the protection of centralized authority and a police to enforce the status quo and current condition.

The government and police aren't going away anytime soon.

Why?

  • People can't see or understand how to live differently or better, because they are kept constricted, unconscious, unaware, unawakened to the reality of the current condition. They are kept entrenched into a co-dependence that they can't imagine being different. Their imagination is cut off from seeing a different potential better way of life.

  • The fear of being unsafe keeps them demanding protection from a centralized authority because they are conditioned into thinking that defending themselves is wrong. People fear not having protection from a centralized authority, yet they also fear disobeying that centralized authority and defending themselves, for the rest of society is entrenched into the illusion of "good" and "order" that "ONLY THE CENTRALIZED AUTHORITY CAN PROVIDE."

The ultimate power to change our current way of living, is for us to understand how we keep ourselves locked into it. Seeing how we fool ourselves, and keep ourselves from first imaging how things can be to then secondly prevent us from even being able to change for the better.

Nothing is going to change in the right direction, unless people know what that direction is by seeing it in their mind's eye. Fear of looking outside of the current model is what keeps people from engaging in their imagination to envision a better future.

Those who are attached to the current way of doing things, and benefit from it, will not want to honestly look at what they are doing as personal attachment has them favor themselves over an honest evaluation of the situation. They will continue to spread their word-magic imagery into your consciousness with clever rhetoric and justification for what they do.

Only knowledge and understanding of ourselves, how we fool ourselves, and how others can fool us through our lack of understanding ourselves and the importance of truth in life, is going to get us out of our mess, no matter what mess we find ourselves in!

Truth is the way out, and moral truth is the way to live to get out of a corrupted situation.

Failure to understand a need to change, will never produce change. Those who deny the need for change or that their own actions are a problem, will need to be pressured with evidence from reality to get them to wake up from their unconscious unawakened attachment to themselves that blinds them from seeing others and the world in an honest light.

Government and police are here because people want them here. We can't control ourselves, or say others can't control themselves, so we want some group to control everybody to keep us all "safe" from each other...

If we want to live without these corrupted forces in our lives, we are going to need to understand why they aren't needed, and how detrimental they are for our freedom... if we can grow and evolve consciousness to.

If we want real freedom, it comes with personal responsibility, not abdicating it.

If we want real freedom, it comes with eternal vigilance and the right to self-defense, not begging others to defend us in our lives because we are either 1) too afraid to do it, or 2) prevented from doing it.

Once people understand what real freedom requires, then maybe they will understand how they keep themselves in chains.

We create and keep ourselves locked in the chains of slavery, immorality, evil and chaos. The chains aren't even tied onto us, they are loose, because we put the chains on ourselves, and we can get out of them if we want.

Once we grow up, educate ourselves, and see the potential we can live by, then we each need to actualize ourselves into a more moral being. As we all do this, then there won't be an irrational "feeling" (from fear) of a need for others to protect us from ourselves.

If we want there to be no more external, coercive, authoritarian control over our lives, to no longer have government and police; then we ourselves each need to:

  1. develop the authority to author our own lives and lives more authentically in alignment with truth
  2. develop self-control so that there is no more coercive external control;
  3. we each need to grow that self-control into self-mastery and self-governance so that there is no need for external governance;
  4. we each need to grow a personal responsibility over our own lives to do these things and further protect ourselves and each other together as united communities under moral truth/law, instead of being afraid of standing up for own lives and doing something about it.

If we each become more moral and self-governing in our own lives and local areas together, then the perceived "need" for centralized authoritarian groups to control everyone will be gone, and they will fade away as a result of less and less people supporting that older and more flawed way of life. It's up to each one of us no longer supporting the tyranny and corruption.

A very solid piece again @krnel, thank you so very much for underlining some seriously essential part of our place as a human being, as a citizen. "We're not living up to the personal responsibility to defend ourselves, and live for ourselves.", especially under the illusion of being a cohesive "groups" of concerned citizens, the tendency as you often repeated is that as individuals we are giving our powers away to others and even expect this illusive "others" to do what can't be expecting from a group. "If we want real freedom, it comes with personal responsibility, not abdicating it."

A decentralized blockchain based voting system where no one is forced into anything would allow us to create a preventative and systematic creative problem solving mechanism for all according to all groups sizes and locations . I believe we can allow for this mechanism to offer a progressive mediation frame as well as a groups consensus throughout the process.

I love how you are underlining the human factor where we all as individuals need to take responsibility for what we can do, though some of us are prevented either by birth, physically, intellectually, psychologically or spiritually, or natural events from being fully in charge of our own self.

All for one and one for all! Namaste :)

Great points! Thanks for the feedback once more :)

That is exactly right, KrNel. “System works because you work”

Erich Fromm has made those points ih his book Escape from Freedom. People are actually escaping from the accountability that goes with their decisions, and they are inevitably escaping in the hands of authoritarianism. Now blockchain has enormous potential to force people into freedom through learning them to accept accountability. It's a struggle, and it will be a final one.

Good one! I keep getting the "who will build the roads?" argument. I tell them, the same people that built them before there was a government. The illusion is that before the State...things like roads, education, self-protection, etc. didn't exist. In fact, people were better educated, they were safer (I don't know where you live, but where I am there's about a 45 min. response time to 911) and there were roads. It's the ILLUSION of need.

Indeed. Thanks for the feedback.

I wonder what percentage of the population would have to "opt out" in order to make it impossible for the remaining to be able to continue paying the "authorities" to control them.

Unfortunately it doesn't work that way. Everyone could stop paying the IRS and the govern-cement would keep running as it always has. (the money sent to the IRS is thrown into a furnace, or sent back to hell, literally.)

It is when enough people stop following govern-cement orders.
Like in Louisiana or Mississippi, they put in red-light cameras. And everyone didn't pay the fines. They took the cameras out.

Why do you think they brainwash kids into not being able to defend themselves? Why do all the laws come down hard on people that defend themselves? Because if people started defending themselves, cops' biggest selling point goes out the window.

So, to answer your question, it is about the time that 10% of the people have shifted, and 90% are aware of the shift, then the entire paradigm shifts.

I hadn't thought of the 10% thing. I guess it would work for more than marketing.

From the day we are born we are taught to fear and obey authority, just like lemmings we have to follow in line.

In some countries, you can't use a gun in your own home to defend yourself.

In Poland, apart from it being very difficult to be a gun owner, there is that rule of having to use just enough force to defend yourself. Which is of course very tricky, because if you use "excessive" force you are the aggressor, and your attacker becomes victim: if he had a knife, you'd better use bare hands to defend yourself, etc. In my opinion it's one of the laws that just add insult to injury...

Exactly! They want to make us fearful and defenseless to beg them to help us while we do nothing. It's pure fucking insanity! Thanks for the feedback.

Understanding of self, such a powerful thing.

Indeed. Main part of my work :)

The most important question is 'why', but the most important question for humanity is "who are you?" / "who am I?", which leads to understanding the "why" of what we do. "Who are you" is something I've been asking since I "woke up" in 2006, and it has driven me to learn and understand more about consciousness and humanity. There is a lot of misinformation about that question, and "know thyself". But with enough verification in reality the belief-based components can be discerned from the truth about how we function.

"Morals are determined by the ruling power and it's ideology" Friedrich Nietzsche cited by Ernst Jünger
Marx said that Existence is not determined by conscience but the opposite, making the dementia capitalist of the machine to be introjected by every man as his conscious mind.
The risk of getting crazy is very high when we accept to internalize the rationality of the demented machine.

I have been seeing baphomet on steemit a lot lately, any ideas as to why?

Even posted the picture myself in a post a month ago.

Just a picture used as a symbol to represent something the person using it wants to convey. Nothing special in significance other than the meaning used to convey a message. I am conveying how we create evil/devil, slavery, immorality and chaos through ourselves keeping ourselves in chains. THanks for the feedback.

I was intrigued by the hand gesture of the baphomet image, I've not seen that before that I recall in such a context. I discovered it has significance in more than just Star Trek; it is used as a sign of blessing in the Hebrew culture, which is probably why it is used in the single handed form in the baphomet image.

A related hand symbol is with the two fingers separated not up, but down. This one is more known in history.

Check out the hand of sabazius: https://www.google.ca/search?q=hand+of+sabazius

It has a lot of symbolism.

It's also suspected as being used in the CFR logo as the Sabazius rider,

which is also depicted in art.

Right, just wandered if you saw the same trend with that logic as I have seen in the last week or so. Also ties into to that latest alex jones joe rogan podcast, the views are three times higher in just two days than his average video. That video talks about a lot of the same concepts, its interesting to me that the two are connected in some unconnected way.

Fuck man! Your posts are sure raking it in!
Hope you're curating as much as the lucky bastid you is. :)
