What would happen if the US government had to call it quits? Is it even possible? I honestly dont think it can ever be fixed but I cant see the rich community ever letting go. It makes me fucking sick thinking about it, it really needs to be done and over with. It just not right i cant comprehend how everyone allows it to continue we dont even control shit, the president isnt shit, and I dont even know who runs our own country.
535 vs. 300 million, an interesting phenomenon. We are doing it to ourselves. I'm still with La Boetie on this one. It's a little long and totally worth reading. It changed my life:
La Boéties Discourse of Voluntary Servitude:
Poor, wretched, and stupid peoples, nations determined on your
own misfortune and blind to your own good! You let yourselves be
deprived before your own eyes of the best part of your revenues;
your fields are plundered, your homes robbed, your family heirlooms
taken away. You live in such a way that you cannot claim a
single thing as your own; and it would seem that you consider
yourselves lucky to be loaned your property, your families, and
even your lives. All this havoc, this misfortune, this ruin, descends
upon you not from alien foes, but from the one enemy whom you
yourselves render as powerful as he is, for whom you go bravely to
war, for whose greatness you do not refuse to offer your own bodies
unto death. He who thus domineers over you has only two eyes,
only two hands, only one body, no more than is possessed by the
least man among the infinite numbers dwelling in your cities;
he
has indeed nothing more than the power you confer upon him to
destroy you. Where has he acquired enough eyes to spy on you, if
you do not provide them yourselves? How can he have so many
arms to beat you with, if he does not borrow them from you? The
feet that trample down your cities, where does he get them if they
are not your own? How does he have any power over you except
through you? How would he dare assail you if he had no cooperation
from you? What could he do to you if you yourselves did not
connive with the thief who plunders you, if you were not accomplices
of the murderer who kills you, if you were not traitors to
yourselves? You sow your crops in order that he may ravage them,
you install and furnish your homes to give him goods to pillage;
you rear your daughters that he may gratify his lust; you bring up
your children in order that he may confer upon them the greatest
privilege he knowsto be led into his battles, to be delivered to
butchery, to be made the servants of his greed and the instruments
of his vengeance; you yield your bodies unto hard labor in order
that he may indulge in his delights and wallow in his filthy pleasures;
you weaken yourselves in order to make him the stronger and
the mightier to hold you in check. From all these indignities, such
as the very beasts of the field would not endure, you can deliver
yourselves if you try, not by taking action, but merely by willing to
be free.
Resolve to serve no more, and you are at once freed. I do
not ask that you place hands upon the tyrant to topple him over,
but simply that you support him no longer; then you will behold
him, like a great Colossus whose pedestal has been pulled away,
fall of his own weight and break into pieces.
