Anarchy is also about trusting other humans to do the right thing. That we do not need an omnipotent state to dicate our lives. The state only has a place in communities where people hate and distrust each other so they need a god to put their trust into. The more people hate, the more they protest to their government to fix their problems, which leads to more power for the state.
It's not often I read words I wish I had written, but you have posted them here. I cannot admire more your stand on principle, and but hope I can myself meet those standards. I wish you every success, and would but recommend you carefully consider not only principle, but how best to adhere to those principles in the extant environment.
Many share at least much of what you here espouse, but faint at the prospect of enduring opposition. Sun Tsu points out that every battle is won prior to engaging the enemy, however, thus careful consideration of opposition, and deep rational self-knowledge, is the key to success.
Thanks!
That's the thing, when being "woke" it isnt a switch being on or off and "that's it"... it more like a continuum, a constant questioning of the self, the environment and our perception of it (among many other things). Shifting back and forth as we gain understandings
While it may seem a curse to some and a blessing to others it is both, neither, one and not the other , the other and not the one.... confused yet ? lol. What im getting at is, it "is" what we make of it each time we interact with it.
You have chosen to not be like Cypher (yes matrix reference) and think critically , for yourself, etc. It is a harder path to take with much resistance along the way... keeping in mind it is a "self correcting system" we live within.
This is why its not for "everyone" as the path of least resistance is comforting to many, though they may not know the sacrifice they are ultimately making to take said path.
But answer me this.... think back a year or two... are you more "grown" than then? Think back a bit more and more grown than before then too huh? We keep growing, we learn, we shift we adapt.... we EVOLVE.... and that takes time... and sometimes a little discomfort.
This means we have to do with what we have until then, interact with systems which we do not agree with so we can figure out what we DONT want for ourselves, then deal with it until we can make a shift to something more congruent with the self. But make no mistake, without struggle there is no progress...
We must concede that the struggles are part of the process, and its part and parcel of what drives the need for the change we each seek within our lives.
While i understand that, for myself, i will experience discomfort in the process of life, i am incredibly respectful of its role in shaping a greater determination to do something to gravitate to a more autonomous and congruent self. Growing pains hurt.... but it means you are growing ;)
