My Thought of the Day

I find it so cute when folks argue one American political party vs. the other, as though there is any real difference between them when it comes to endless war, looting the treasury, bailing out wall street, being above the law.

"There are no democrats or republicans on an Epstein flight, only pedophiles!"

I get how folks don't want to admit that both parties are actively working against their constituent's interests while lining their pockets, because that would mean the fake A or B choice they're encouraged to have strong opinions about is in reality meaningless, and pure theater to keep them riled up and at each other's throats. Understanding how one is being manipulated is painful, but necessary, if one is to break free from the manipulation. Most don't want to suffer that pain, and so prefer to root for "their" team as though the outcome changed anything in their lives.

Once you grasp you're property, not free, you begin to understand your true predicament. See, slaves won't work all that hard, but slaves who are told they're free, and need to support themselves, and if successful can climb the class ladder...well, they'll work far harder than the ones who know their actual place. Slavery is the basis of the feudal system, where you have the king and the nobles, and the bourgeoisie, but mostly serfs, who are slaves/indentured servants bound by debt and owned by the lord of the manor, in all but name. The problem with slavery is the onus is upon the owner to maintain the well-being of the slaves, which is a heavy obligation. But convince them they're free men, while confiscating most of their prosperity over their lifetimes so they depart their lives with little or nothing more than they came into it with...now that's a system!

Once one sees how this all actually works, the obvious conclusion is that everything is designed to keep you from that understanding, because once you get it, you have to embrace your own indentured servitude, or do something about it. And the state that is your owner needs cannon fodder and tax slaves to act as chattel for the national debt (note how the debt is often discussed, but the assets are never mentioned? Because the assets in double entry bookeeping would ideally balance out the debt, and would be required to be articulated, and they don't want to let on that you are among those assets/property). Which you'll probably be reluctant to be if you grasped the true state of affairs.

But keep telling yourself that elections matter, or that the government is basically benevolent if inept, or whatever other fable enables you to sleep at night.

The problem being that failure to understand reality means you'll make incorrect assumptions when it comes to things like whether or not your owners have decided to thin the herd because a machine can better perform your function (and thus you are no longer an asset, but more a liability), and thus are at war with your continued survival.

And that failure to grasp reality, simply put, means you'll march into the slaughterhouse with patriotic fervor rather than burning it to the ground. You’ll trust your master when it comes to injecting yourself rather than deeply distrust it. You’ll give your owner the benefit of the doubt rather than assuming everything’s a lie to keep you in shackles, or worse yet, to terminate you once your useful life has come to an end.

You only get one go around on the wheel. Doing so oblivious to the reality of one’s situation isn’t advisable. But in the end the choice is yours. We all have the ability to research and understand, even though we’re told that none of this is knowable, or is too complicated to understand, and thus you should just trust your owner’s pronouncements and put your back into your work, like a good field hand.
