Why am I feeling anarchistic?
I sit here on a Saturday afternoon like many other but a change is happening in me.
It’s a feeling that is growing day by day and I find myself starting to boil over. It is like a feeling of anger mixed with disappointment and great loss.
The feeling does not only stem from what our government is doing to us and the constant brain washing that is happening but as my mind constantly see more and more of this control that is asserted over us from every direction I feel that enough is enough.
Every day we have to get up at 5am……be at work by 6:30am……. be productive for the slave drivers all day until 5pm. Do this week in and week out until you get paid just NOT enough to pay taxes, rent, food, car and all the bits that we need to survive. Here we are really squeezed for every bit of life for profit of the corporates and governments.
That is essentially how I feel.
My life is being stolen from me.
Through the ages slavery and exploitation of humans have been well documented but somehow the powers have figured a way to put a veil in front of our eyes. They made us all feel FREE but in reality we are all slaves. In depth studies of humans and our behaviour has given the slave drivers a huge power over all of us. . The education system is failing human kind and hanging this veil in front of our eyes placing all of us into slavery.
This anarchistic feeling is starting to show in my daily life.
I find myself questioning everything.
Why do I drink a coffee when I get up in the morning?
Do I really enjoy the coffee?
Am I brainwashed to think coffee is great in the morning?
Have I slowly been fed coffee to make my body addicted to the caffeine to ensure I keep buying coffee and feed the pockets of the corporates behind producing coffee using almost slave labour in production?
Every day another sucker is born…..
The human population is growing at such an unsustainable rate. Here in South Africa food and water shortages are really starting to show. Unemployment and poverty is at an all-time high but the fat cats and their cronies are lining their pockets with billions of tax payers money and even with all the evidence that show how the average person on the street is being exploited they will still vote them into power.
Where is this sickness coming from?
Here in South Africa the signs are so obvious. Government awards contracts for service delivery to its cronies. These cronies then employ people from the areas through ward councillors from the party on the ground through party structures.
I am unemployed……I am Hungry……I need food…….Join the party……
Get a part time short term job.
I am unemployed…….I need a house……Join the party……
Receive a 45 square meter house with no services connected like water or a toilet, right on top of your neighbour leaving you with no way or space to even plant and grow your own food.
This is how they control the masses over here.
If you don’t vote for the party you won’t have any opportunity and will be drained by taxes until you have nothing. It’s not only the employed paying taxes here. We pay ridiculous level of tax on just about everything so even the unemployed feed the evil just by buying a loaf of bread.
How will we rid ourselves from this evil?
The only answer I can find in myself is that we need to start to care about each other. Care for the people around you. Empower people to be able to look after themselves. Then the rot and the power they hold will disappear. Teach people how to become independent.
Why am I feeling anarchistic ?
I don’t want to be told anymore. I want to be free. I want to live my life.

Wow I could have been reading my own post, I identify 100% with this. I woke this morning and wrote a post in a similar vein, I will keep an eye on your posts.
Upvoted and resteemed. A fellow South African.
Thanks @petruska13. Yea we are living a different kind of hell right here on earth. It seems we can start screaming it out to everybody and the more of us that start talking about the further the message will spread. So many people are starting to see the reality and it is not just here where you and I live. It is all over the world and USA maybe the worst of the lot. They have truly perfected the curtain with great pictures hiding the rot behind.
You are so right, I am fed up with the country, the stupidity of people who can't see what is happening right before their eyes. It is time for the man in the street to take action, I am not talking revolution but we need to show our displeasure and spread the word,
Here in Brazil the feeling isn't different. We currently live in a "kleptocracy". Here we pay one of the most elevate taxes in the world. Just to you realize, if you buy something, you virtually pay twice for it. It's revolting. The people are sick of this kind of situation. Currently we have an ex president condemned to 9 years in jail (first instance) for corruption. And the most sad of this, is know that your country have economic potential to be one of the world super potencies, but this don't happen because of politics.
This is exactly what is happening in South Africa. Millions are calling for our president to step down but he refuses and his cronies are protecting him. He currently has hundreds of criminal cases opened against him and should he lose his power he will surely go to jail. He sold our country to the highest bidder and the people are suffering. In retro spec it really got bad after the soccer world cup came to South Africa in 2010. Its almost as if the people in power got schooled during that time how to effectively steal as much as possible.
I hear you @freetissues. You know 4 years ago I was feeling the same, slave to the corp., debt, paying taxes, tired of the normal routine of life. I just decided to quit my job and travel, it is one of the life-changing experiences, and a great investment too. I traveled and lived in other countries for years, found ways to earn money, and now steemit. Not as much as I was earning before, but I'm more free now. When you travel, you get to be the anarchist, you don't conform anymore. It's your way, your life. Just find the courage to make the big change. :)
I hear you. I once were that traveler and think that is why I have this huge cringe in my bellie. Due to the brainwashing of my youth i felt I had to start doing something and inevitably fell into the debt trap that now has a firm grip on my life. I am truly thinking of packing the bags once again soon as I have broken these chains and try to find a place where I can feel free and live life to the fullest. We have only this one.
You are not alone in this battle. Everything will be alright because it's not yet the end. There are no shortcuts unfortunately, sometimes we have to go through it all, so we can appreciate what we are going to have in the end.
Yep, pack your life in a bag when you're ready @freetissues
We can also rid ourselves of the evil by doing something we love. They say if you do something you love you never work a day in your life.
Yea.I used to love construction. You could walk away from a job and say I built that. Construction these days has been so politicized and the tender process so corrupt that it truly has no more satisfaction for me. Forced to use temporary labor at every new site you cannot invest in people any more. No time to train and teach and build great employees with skills to make your life easier. its become a real pain.
Yeah that sounds like your business had really been hurt. I'm sorry to hear that.
The masses are beginning to awaken...the overlords are five moves ahead. I've always see what I call mind-scaping happening, since high school. I'm certain it goes much further back. Even new world settlers were slaves to their situation. As were olde world market makers and tradesmen. Only the vagabonds were free from these chains...yet their life was no picnic either.
Those who step out of the fence are seen as trouble makers and ne'er do wells even by their own. Thus making dreamers and schemers a bad thing and the hardening of hearts all the more.
Divisiveness is working...always has and always will. They have the upper hand now...and there will be blood to pay to try to change the system. They see it coming and are herding the sheep tighter...some are penned in for survival, others out of fear.
I've said too much already...but it's going to get worse before it gets better. Keep your spirit free and wait till your heart decides to move...it'll likely start as flash bangs around the world...and yes they'll call all terrorists. Giving and getting carte blanche to eradicate disruptors at will.
A backpack is a great way to see the world, I fear even that may become proof of subversion.
This is just my opinion of what I've seen, the heat is turning up as evidenced by these kinds of posts and comments over multiple social platforms. First they take your guns, failing that they outgun you...then they take your words.

I'm with you on this.
Here in the US there are more and more government regulations. In some states you can go to jail for collecting rain water on your property. Our government is destroying the best healthcare system in the world by combining the worst aspects of government healthcare and private insurance. It's possible to pay more for your health insurance and your deductibles than your rent or mortgage.
This one of our biggest issues. State hospital are almost non existing these days. Imported doctors from Cuba that hardly speak english. Nurses that cant give two fucks about a patient. No medicine to speak of. Lucky to find asprin. No beds. People die in the hallways on the floors. Then we find the private health care. State of the art. But you cant dare to walk through the door if you dont have private insurance that cost an arm and a leg every month. Then even that will never cover all the expenses when you visit one of these.
Is almost the same thing up here in Spain, upvote and ill follow you.
Thats is sad. I kind of thought Spain was an option to go to escape many of the issues we face over here.
To be sincere for our family that place is Portugal.
Really great post. Followed
Thank you very much
Great article. Things like this can't go one for ever. The people will rise up if history repeats itself.
Thanks for sharing!
