Excellent article, beliefs are powerful. What beliefs are truly your own? We are molded by parents, teachers, clergy, TV etc, so what are our core beliefs. We have been told by clergymen we are sinners and not worthy enough for the kingdom of Heaven. Schools test us to see who is the brightest and the “best”. I don’t know for sure but I imagine that even the brightest individuals have their own demons with their beliefs. The truth is we are extremely powerful beings who have the ability to turn this around. We are not weak, we are strong. 81 million voted , just think if 81 million joined together for true freedom. 81 million to disengage from the system. Now that’s a belief I want to believe in. Power in the people not just a catchy phrase from the 60’s.

Well stated.

One consideration, most humans have likely not been slaves for most of their existence. I think it is likely most lived in a state of relative freedom from slavery for 100s of thousands of years before the shift to agriculture etc. around 10-6 thousand years ago.

Observation of extant hunter/gatherer types generally shows a much more egalitarian social structure.

What I, and maybe you, look at as ideal may be a return to this ancient and deep rooted way.

As a note, ones who resonate strongly with this have been systematically culled for thousands of years. The sheeple have been allowed to multiply.

There's a reason society is being kept infantilised.

Thanks! I must warn you: my posts are not easy to read (nor write)

This was great. The problem isn’t just a difference of opinion on whether stateless self- governance can work, but that those who believe it can’t work don’t want it to. They will fight you and do everything they can to keep you from exercising freedom, for no other reason than to maintain control.

"It is always with the complicity of the victim that abuse keeps repeating"

Not always true. Elderly who are incapable of protest. Children who are threatened.

Prisoners of war. And more.

Thanks for the article.

Thank for reading and for the added context. With regards to children, yes, they cannot be held responsible for being unable to resist abuse. But when they grow up, they become responsible

But is an’adult’ that is emotionally damaged (not mature) by abuse in some ways still a child?

Good point. I think yes. We are surrounded by children in adult bodies.

Hopefully by the time they're grown up they've escaped the abuse.

There's an idea that says "belief results in the acceptance of existence." Religion holds as much influence in its "bluff of authority" as any form of governance.
