Dear Liberty "Movement",
Why did I put movement in quotes? Because the first thing I think of when those words come out of my mouth (or off of my keyboard) is bowel movement. Right or wrong, all of this shit has left a very bad taste in my mouth and I do not believe any of us are accomplishing what we want (and I wonder what some of "us" actually want to accomplish...).
All too often I see or hear Libertarians, Truthers, Anarchists, Voluntaryists, etc etc calling people "stupid", "sheep", "sheeple", on and on. I hear them telling people they are not educated and they are brainwashed, yada yada. All you people do is run around pretending like you have all the answers. Why? Because you read the Internet?? The tool given to us by social engineers and controlled by social engineers. You spend hours each day reading infowars.com and arguing with others on facebook (probably while sitting in your mom's basement)... Get a life! Those people you call stupid sheeple actually have a better idea than you do about enjoying life. You are proof that those in power are winning when you spend your entire existence fighting them (and each other) instead of living the one life you were given (or, at least, will remember)!!
You are dogmatic like the Christian who wants to save the immortal soul, or the atheist who wants to free people from religious constraints. You want to "save" people by insulting them. You expect them to listen to you, fighting against the "elite" while you, yourself, are behaving far more elitist than anyone they have ever met in their lives. While people are watching American Idol, you are insulting them for celebrity worship, while at the same time, you are worshiping your own subset of celebrities (I like to call them quasi-celebrities). You stand in line to get books signed, shake hands and get pictures that you frame and put on your mantle. You brag on Facebook about meeting some guy that 95% of the population has never even heard of. You flock to their youtube pages and blogtalk radio shows to listen to them preach about "thinking for yourself", and afterwards you spew their talking points to others, insisting YOU are right.
"Big L" Libertarians play the politics game like any neocon or Deomocrat, without any of the same power or funding. Anarchists chastise Minarchists for being "uneducated statists". Ron Paul supporters alienate 911 Truthers for having the balls to stand up and demand the truth because it "hurts" their political game. Truthers berate LIHOPers for not being "awake". Alex Jones listeners hang on his every word and think because he says to "go check it our for yourself" that they don't have to. The Paytriots want you to fund their lives as "full time activists", like Liberty Welfare. People in the Ron Paul and other "Liberty" campaigns work behind the scenes to gain power and control, destroying anyone who dares get in their way...
All the while, we ALL profess to be working toward the goal of freedom for humanity. Why do those in power keep winning? Because they are unified in their agenda of control, global domination (Pinky: Gee, Brain, what are we going to do tonight? The Brain: Same thing we do every night, Pinky. Try to take over the world.), social engineering and depopulation. They have a common goal, and they don't argue about it. They do it, and they do it right in front of our fucking faces. So while you all are arguing about whether 911 was an inside job or if Gary Johnson is better than Ron Paul, you are being controlled, manipulated and brainwashed just like everyone else, except at least those people are living their lives in ignorant bliss.
You guys can keep your cliques, your cult of personality and your dogma. You are all equally as manipulative and shitty as any other body of power. You are all equally as controlled as Republicans, Democrats and the apathetic. I'm not above it either, no one is. We have lost our humility (if we ever had any) and turned into exactly what we are trying to fight against, and I think a lot of people enjoy it. It's their way of gaining power and fame when they are not good enough to do so in the "real world".
I hope we can all find peace within ourselves, despite the other things going on in the world. I hope we can all never stop searching for truth and being open-minded, that we don't become the dogmatics we rail against. I hope we can all gain a scrap of humility and realize we are not perfect, nor do we have all the answers. Above all else, I hope that you can all learn to work together for freedom, instead of fighting each other insisting that your version of it is the "right" one. After all, freedom is the ability for each of us to do as we please, as long as we hurt no one else.
With as much love as I can muster,
Trbo
Very true. Unity is needed for any victory to occur. Also we need to stop blaming the elites/police/government etc. or whoever for our own lack of success in whatever it is that we are trying to accomplish.
ReplyDeleteThere are psychological needs we all have, or so I have heard reasoned out.
ReplyDeleteOur spirit craves a measure of certainty if it be satisfied.
Yet we must have a healthy measure of uncertainty too.
And then we need to feel we are significant. For the fulfillment of this, we will reach out for something peculiar and unique and that can be attached to ourselves.
We want acceptance, to belong.
When so many of these fulfillments connect with an object (a cause like our revolution) then it becomes a strong compulsion, an genuine addiction.
Addiction is not in and of itself incongruent with healthiness.
These human needs we have are being sought for fulfillment right in our revolution and by many good souls who embrace the liberty 'movement.'
If aggressiveness in rhetoric can be tempered, then our addiction is creating an improved service and public benefit.
I wish more improvement, or any, could be effected. Our country would be so much better from it.
I am sure before it over, we will accomplish much good from this amazing and unpredictable and peculiar pursuit of happiness so many of us find ourselves in, addicting though it may be.
I believe there is more satisfaction to be gained from admitting that you don't know everything, having an open mind, and accepting that there are just some things that you will NEVER understand. My boyfriend and I had a conversation last night about "religion" or more like a theological discussion... We both have beliefs, but we are both comfortable with the fact that we don't know... It does not require faith to say "I don't know". There is no internal struggle or conflict when you are comfortable with the fact that you don't have all the answers.
