Response to "our" government is a lie

in #ubuntu5 years ago

Interesting perspective, so we shall all be our own autocratic rulers?

I don't think anyone can argue that all forms of government poorly represent it's constituency, especially a government that is touted as being for the people by the people. At the same token no man is an island is an undeniable truth as we have no choice but to coexist. No one man is capable of being self sufficient. Sure one can likely provide the means to squeeze out a modest existence alone but a one man army makes for an easy autocracy to topple..

My last post actually vaguely tackles the issue of controlling bodies and not surprisingly is an enigma that has been part of the human experience long before the kingdoms of Mesopotamia arose.

A mind and body wired for survival has an innate primordial inclination towards exclusion and seeing itself as a, separate and unique entity unto itself. This is paradoxically intertwined within a biological framework that has simultaneously led humans to become social beings. The logical progression for social mammals is of course to attempt to forge order and organization.

This is part of our collective evolution.. In the big picture it wasn't long ago that we as a species were engaged in tribalism. Technology has forced us to grow from the confines of geographical constraints. We now live together in an interconnected world but being such a new concept the entrenched cultures that thrived on nationalism are unable to evolve into a new paradigm where borders and maritime law aren't sufficiently structured to facilitate order and organization..

As long as separatism is part of our core beliefs system we will struggle not only amongst ourselves but within nature itself. Us and them, or in this case, you, me, and them is a dead devolved illusion bred out of fear and unwillingness to identify as both an individual and a part of the hive..

There is room enough for all ideas here and collaboration is key. Autocracy whether organized into self governance or communal ideologies is a road to nowhere in my humble opinion..

We're all complicit in this charade that's for sure, even those who don't give a fuck since we don't have a counterbalance to it. It just seems like so much effort though, like can't we "savages" get a piece of land where they dump us on and we can self govern ourselves like heathens? Surely we'll animal farm one another within 30 minutes, right? Good riddance soceity is saved from those who defect or is their an off chance we'll find out it ain't bad at all

I'm game!
