As humans we only have so much time here on this Earth.

It's important not to waste it by doing nothing. And conversely, it's good not to waste it by doing pointless things as well. What things are worth doing? What things are worth not doing?

There is a lot of energy being put in to fixing the world. People care a lot, they just care about the wrong things. People ready to latch on to a movement that aligns with their goals are capable of being mislead by a powerful person who signals the right virtues in the right way.

Are we really doing what we want with our time? Is this really who we are? Will the repercussions of our actions leave a good mark upon human culture? Will the echoes of our every action help the people around us? What exactly are we doing in full, and why?

Are we truly expressing ourselves, or are we just jumping from one culture or counter-culture to another? Are these cultures organic or artificial? There are so many traps in our modern world. Traps to change our spending habits, our ideologies, our feelings about the world. To change our behavior and our voting patterns. We are in an avalanche of words and opinions. It's so easy to get swept away if you let your guard down. We get exploited in this way, just like the democratically voted anti-corruption law passed in South Dakota, that was overturned by emergency measures put in to place ot overturn the law, which I was quite upset about. Until I found it it's actually funded by billionaires anyway. I got swept up in a story of revolution.us, but it was seeming as though it was just billionaires using a cool meme to push power-grabbing legislation through. And for 6 hours, I was completely fooled.

Man, I have this feeling we're going to be tricked in to thinking we did the revolution, but it's all money driven. It's like that Pepsi ad, but for real, and we believe it. Damn it.

It seems like any time a revolution gets momentum and starts getting big, then big money swoops in and corrupts it and yanks it in this corporatist direction, while continuing to use the corpse everyone is attracted to, like some "Weekend at Bernie's" situation.

How do we do a real revolution without getting corrupted? It seems like the only solution is to withdraw entirely. Like hundreds of millions of people need to simply stop caring about the government, basically. So it becomes unimportant, like some vestigial organ, like Kings and Queens in modern Europe.

But it has to be a very calculated withdrawal, lest we get entangled in more traps.

Looking at the world, there will probably be a war coming that billionaires will drag us in to, which they will profit from via their military-industrial companies. And at the same time nations around the world are seemingly being deteriorated intentionally. And then these new globalists are going to have the solution to all this war and degradation ready and waiting for us, and we'll all accept it because it simply will work better, they'll see to make sure that's the case so we all get hooked on whatever system they're offering. Problem, Reaction, Solution, aka the Hegelian dialectic. They will sell us on the new world order.

Then over time it will become corrupted in the same way... and then we're really screwed.

I almost don't know how else it can happen, honestly. Unless people actually wake up. LOTS of people.
