RE: Voting For Anarchy?
I hate the hypocrsy that I live in. Like you said, I have anarchistic thoughts and tendencies but I bought in to the system early. I am 25 with a fucking mortgage, a wife(I have no problems with her just the idea of a "government-sanctioned" contract) and work a job I hate due to me buying into the system back when I was still in the U.S. Air Force. My wife and I both just only recently begin to question our real motives behind why we made the choice to conform and came to the same conclusion -- fear of exclusion from the crowd. All we are doing now is saving money for land, fixing up our house for resale(luckily we have a ton of equity which will make it easy to dump this place soon), and building a self sustaining lifestyle. However, when once you put those shackles on it is tough to just drop it. I want to just go off grid and abandon everything as it is but I have not quite figured out the best way to go about that. Thoughts?
Hi! Its the hardest part to leave the crowd and the things we were raised to know as "life". For me it took years before I ended up leaving,although i did go live in thailand and west africa,but then i still had to come back when money was finished,and start the same shit again,look for a job,look for a room to rent. Wow, its the definition of insanity!
What you say about shackles.. I dont think we get to " put them on" they are put on by firstly our parents as they have them,and the gran had them,its NORMAL - everybody else is doing it,so that must be life!!
When the bubble bursts and your seeing that everything isnt right, then you have already left the crowed. What remains is the conditioned mind that your left to cope with- the you who wants to start fresh and the mind whos says "yeh but.." Or "what if"..
The people who were my mates in England are pritty much envious that I did something with life and i know my family are too. Its great to be a freak and be different,everyone trys to be different even though in society individulism goes only so far as the illusion of freedom that one think they have,its all very limited to conformaty.
If i had a mortgage, i would cancel it 100%. Unless there was a year or two left to pay. I wouldnt buy land because at the end of the day you will have a piece of paper saying that you own that plot, but we all learn that pieces of paper (cash,contracts,parking tickets,certificates) ARE ALL JUST PIECES OF PAPER! And oneday id guess in 10 years,all pieces of paper will be worthless. 800,000,000 jobs will be nonexisting in 15years or less due to technology and how many years is a mortgage?!
I fancy the chances of buying a huge boat with cash and NOT registering it,keeping the reciept, and go to find an island,or hidden continents with all the left over cash turned into silver and gold :)
Sounds though like a good start to a change that your both making, the futures scary but fun! Hey if the changes you make dont work out then just go back,put ya chains back on and forget your dreams. But who the hell does that once they wake up- nobody lol. Theres many people already done it,but they dont live in the concrete shitholes 😁 nature smells much better! Oh wait fuck - freedom smells much better i meant! Ok freedom in nature then. Sleep now but we chat more!
@rascalblack - don't beat yourself up. Everything starts with a thought in our minds, then we need the courage to act on it.
The fact that you are ONLY 25 & have already questioned the world we live in AND you once worked for the gov't, speaks volumes.
I'm proud of you for having your eyes WIDE open despite having been in the Air Force, so kudos to you.
Have you already joined a lot of homesteading groups & channels on FB & YT?
While I don't recommend FB or YT, b/c they have the largest community/following, it's a good idea to start there & try to move them over to steemit or search for them on here once you know their username.
Be well.
