RE: We Need More Anarchists With Courage

in #anarchy6 years ago (edited)

Do you really think that not enough people speak out against government. Practically everyone I know does to one degree or another. The challenge is there are no viable alternatives and as human animals we group up and look for leaders. We create leaders because our environments and the circumstances we are up against always change and people want those who will take charge of a situation. From that you get a hierarchy which has evolved into our political systems (which suck by the way).

I think what we need is a more intellectual and engaged voting populace in the western countries because this will set the tone for everywhere else. Democracy, socialism and the rest are fine it is that they have been allowed to be bastardized and overtaken by special interests that are motivated primarily by fear and greed. If people really understood what the spirit of the systems they are governed by actually intend, they would be so motivated, they would work towards achieving those aims.

I guess what I am saying is that in my view if we adopted anarchy, it would become as inept as creating fairness and equality as the rest because of the qualities of the people implementing and living within that system. In the end it all comes back to us. We need to change and the existing systems will become more potent and effective. Just my thoughts. thanks.

The thing we could change that would have the greatest effect is if we stopped supporting MSM. As long as people watch crap like CNN, they will keep telling us lies. It’s time we demand that only people willing to tell us truth are worthy of telling us the news.

If you’re not willing to admit 9/11 was a false flag, you have no right to tell me the news. If we demand truth, the system built on lies will crumble.

Respectfully, the issue is not just MSM it is our intelligence levels and desire to dig deeper. There has always been "fake news", what kept it in check was that people would look to get the truth and there was also shame so if you got exposed, you had to go away. I am open to alternative news reporting but I want accountability. For example you can tell me that 9/11 was a false flag event (I have no opinion eaith way for the record, I simply don't care). But I invite you to look at those who are pitching videos on youtube. 90% of these people are putting forward theirs simply because that is how they make money. they are not good patriots, they have found a gig. When you have this percentage of people doing it, how can you ever expect to get to truth. Since the bar for news is so much lower and anyone can become a reporter, we the viewers are constantly being scammed. Again we have to be discerning and knowledgeable on a topic. When someone tells me information that contradicts popular opinion, the first thing I do is to find out who they are and are they qualified to talk about the topic. If not I disregard their point of view. It does not matter how real they seem. Do the work dude. Bring in the people who are qualified or all you have is an opinion. This is what made Snowden so powerful for me. He was in the room. We all have to have this same level or our emotion run away with us and we get passionate about positions we want to here but really do not make sense. Thanks
