When a problem occurs, or when something is wrong, we have
traditionally been conditioned to find someone who is “in charge”, a
final arbiter of decision making who will have all of the answers and
know all of the right things to say and do. Typically, those who have
found themselves “in charge” are no more qualified or knowledgeable than
those who are not, yet nonetheless these false prophets continue to
swindle generation after generation of people. The worst thing about
this whole situation is that these so called “authorities” maintain a
monopoly on problem solving, meaning they are really the only ones who
are allowed to solve problems. Thus over time people begin to believe
that those in authority are the only ones who are actually capable of
solving problems, when in reality, as i mentioned earlier they are no
more qualified than anyone else.If we apply this understanding to the realm of government, it is not difficult to see that the current system of electoral politics is not an effective or moral way for people to actually create meaningful change in their communities and the planet as a whole. Year after year, administration after administration the faces change, but the oppression continues to escalate. Even if your vote is actually counted, which it probably isn’t, it still wont matter who wins in the end anyway, because they are all going to carry out the exact same policies with just slightly rhetoric behind them. It should be obvious by now that this system is not only inherently corrupt, but is also failing miserably and currently in the process of collapse.
So what do we do? How do we solve these problems? Do we look to authority? Do we put someone in charge? Of course not! How has that been working out for us all along? Not so well, right? Yet when I suggest that everyone needs give up on voting and take matters into their own hands in their own personal lives, people always seem to get the impression that I am suggesting they “do nothing”. In reality the complete opposite is true, I am suggesting that they actually get out and do something to make an impact on the problems that bother them instead of just pushing a button in an election booth, throwing the problem on some politicians lap and thinking that something is actually going to get done. If anything that political approach that I just described is the lazy and utopian way of going about things, but actually working on solutions yourself, that right there is truly meaningful action. There are a ton of ways that you can contribute to helping the global situation without politics, in fact you will do much better than the politicians at actually achieving the goal. Below is just a few ways that I have recently seen people solving problems in their community by themselves, without the government.
(1) -Opt out in every way possible – Non Compliance is a long term strategy, and wont achieve overnight results, but this is still a necessary part of this social evolution that I am speaking of. Opting out is a way of pulling your support out of the system, and putting your support in something that will eventually outshine the system and make it obsolete. That is a lot of the idea behind pulling yourself out of the political process and refusing to vote. Voting takes a lot of time and energy, especially if you are donating money to political parties and campaigning for candidates. Opting out will instantly free up that time, energy and money for causes that will be more effective in achieving your goal of improving society. (CONTINUE READING)
