RE: What If There Was A Better Way

in #writing7 years ago

Yes, yes, yes. I think there are multiple social evolutionary arcs going on simultaneously. One arc contains all of the statist-oriented people who will never veer from the "comfy" power-paradigm they know (multiple reasons why including fear, resistant to change, ignorance, etc). Another arc is the completely disenfranchised, those who hate the status quo but have not wrapped their head around another path. This arc of people spew only negativity, destruction and hatred in rage that is a semi-rational response to an oppressive system. A third arc is those who are completely put-off by the status quo but they believe that rational, good natured humans do possess the power to make change. This arc is currently in the process of linking up (as technology, social progress and general consciousness-expansion is improving) and hopefully will be able to plant the seeds of broad scale social reform. My hope is that this arc grows and is seen by more and more people as simply a better choice to participate within. Until the old system dies (perhaps not in any of our lifetimes) this separate arc can grow and thrive by doing the bare minimum in the old system (to essentially avoid the cage) whilst building the new one in parallel. Much more could be said on this, but I'll leave it here just as a thought continuation from Doit's original post.

Final thought....don't buy THEIR products. don't participate in THEIR elections. don't consume THEIR media. don't use THEIR financial institutions. don't imbibe THEIR points of view. and on and on. This practice takes tons of conscious decision-making every single day but it is the only way to change the world, even if only incrementally over time.
