Occupy Your Mind, Put A Permanent State Of War In It

I agree with Sean. People are pissed. But occupying the streets is not a 2011 method to gain power back, sorry.

I think about all these rich people. They abused the system and moved their pieces in the dark, behind, slowly. For decades. They didn’t get disgustingly rich by stopping traffic and screaming HEY BITCHES WE’RE FUCKING STEALING YOU IN YOUR FACE OH FUCK IT’S COLD LET’S GO HOME. It wouldn’t have worked as good as it’s been. They worked hard, in stealth mode-ninja style to screw us. It worked really well, I guess we can all agree on that.

Now, they are in a position of power with no equivalent in history. The same can be said about the world which isn’t working as before, more interconnected and interdependent than ever. I still remember the millions, dozens of millions of people across the world protesting the war in Iraq. It didn’t do shit. All over the world, in Israel too people are protesting about the Gaza problem. It doesn’t change anything. Protesting loudly is a method that doesn’t work well if at all in long democracies as “the West”. North Africa is fighting decades of dictatorship, it’s absolutely different. It had to explode this way, with people in the streets but also a lot of dead bodies.

“The West” isn’t in this situation anymore. We’re in full cold war with the 1%. I think that protesting and making sure that they hear us is OK but might not be the best way to change things. They own us for so long, even cutting their heads off and putting them on spears ala French revolution, wouldn’t change anything. I hope Anonymous and Wikileaks and more underground movements are fighting back. I know every single politician is a sell out. For good or bad it’s done, the system works this way. I can’t trust them more than that. Corporations and politicians aren’t going to end their relationship because we demand it. Oh, and they own the police and the army too, so.

The 99% need to erode the power, slowly. It’s going to be long. But the more we aim for independency, sharing, sustaining and giving them less money, the better. I always think that if people were drinking sodas like I do and did, none of these companies would have been big enough to fuck the entire food system, the FDA and pouring so much money to lobby politicians and giving more sugar to millions of kids who didn’t need it at all. People don’t think enough about the butterfly effect. It always seems out of touch but it’s just a matter of being consistent and thorough. Persistence is required to change, progress. The 1% knows it very, very well.
