Some Thoughts on Movements...

in #anarchylast year

Friends,

It's interesting to me to see different aspects of the "Truth/Freedom" movement get caught up in so many niche debates and discussions. It reminds me of my time focusing my energy within the "Liberty" movement.

There would be these debates "within the movement" about this celebritarian activist, or this niche aspect of the philosophy, or this stupid thing someone said on twitter, and then the debates would rage for weeks on podcasts, blogs, social media etc. Sometimes it would be an interesting intellectual exercise, but for the most part I realized that the people looking in from the outside are like, "WTF are these people talking about? Who are they? What is this internet drama?"

I feel this is a problem of most movements, especially political. They are insulated and often social media reinforces this because we follow pages and people who have similar views, thus creating an echo chamber. We then believe EVERYONE is focused on this topic or EVERYONE has any idea what the hell we are talking about.

I see this happening with the "health freedom" movement too, just as I saw it with the 9/11 Truth movement. People are so caught up in their tiny differences that they spend their time fighting each other and not trying to reach the masses. Instead, the masses see a bunch of nuts people arguing over semantics, or tiny details and are driven away.

My goal since the day I woke up in mid-2009 has been to reach as many people as possible, encouraging critical thinking, and questioning narratives. Now, obviously, in pursuit of knowledge there will be debates and discussions to come to finer conclusions and understanding. I am not saying we shouldn't have these talks (still, someone will claim I am saying that!).

What I am saying is that my goals are not to get bogged down in the minutiae of these discussion, but instead to help those who are just starting to question to further their journey towards truth. Also, my work has always been focused on localization and decentralization. Meaning how can we decentralize the power of the State and focus on solutions for our local communities.

I see this as a huge blind spot in many online activists. They have no connection to their local community in person. They only exist on the internet and make no effort to promote solutions or educate their own community. This is a huge problem and blind spot.

My point: Spend less time arguing on the internet and focus your energy on empowering those closest to you. If we each do this, we will indeed create a better, more free, and educated world.

For me, this includes educating people about the coming Technocratic State, Transhumanism, Agenda 2030, The Great Reset, and more importantly, helping people understand the #ExitAndBuild philosophy that I see as the true answer.

That is my focus and goal. My goal and focus is NOT to argue over tiny details or get lost in subculture, niche movements. I am aiming to reach the masses.

Thank you.

"...this is a problem of most movements..."

It is a feature of society. Different segments of society have different interests, and discuss different things. Have you ever gone to a bar to meet someone, and it was a sports bar, and there was a group discussing baseball or soccer stats? Ever met a model train, or shooting sports enthusiast? There is no ubiquitous suite of interests that all people can confine their discussions to and become one universal, happy society.

When it comes to economic infrastructure, like highways, airports, armies, and other structural components of an area wide economy from which all can benefit, these different groups all approach them from different angles. While the resulting ferment can be constructive, all too often it becomes political, and engenders deceit and fraud, even force, because some benefit more than others from such development.

These things are fundamental to centralization, and only when we proceed to maturity of decentralization will automation of production by independent individuals, households, and communities reduce the politicization of common infrastructure, because it won't be common anymore. Today we all share a landscape, and there inevitable inequities that produce further inequities that necessitate intrasocietal competition, and cause the more powerful to subjugate the less powerful, and we can see in history that such inequities eventually fracture polities, that are in turn replaced by societies that can, or at least start out, better balance production and rewards.

If we all own the landscape we live in, there's gonna be a fight, and that's just the way it has to be. You and I may not want deceit and violence to intrude on discussions, but others will anyway. If we try to prevent it, we will have to adopt those very means to have a chance of success, and become the abyss, the monsters we fight.

Egalitarian society can only be decentralized.

"...my goals are not to get bogged down in the minutiae of these discussion..."

Of course, this is admirable, and all of us that have become aware of more or less of the opposition to our freedom we face can relate and support these goals. But as that sentence indicates, we are not in universal agreement about what we face, nor about what to do about it, and the discussions seeking to forward our mutual freedom are therefore as you have related. Folks sure that DEWs or nukes took out the twin towers on 9/11 have different concerns than folks that think controlled demolition did, and folks that think there aren't even viruses different interests than those that are worried about manufactured plagues. Nothing will change that but utterly fracturing society, and I think we can agree that isn't at all what we should be telling folks to do in the face of mutually faced hazards.

There's only so many people transitioning on a given day from nescience to informed, and only so many of us can have that focus. People that wrangle over DEWs or nukes believe these things matter because each of them seek to mitigate different threats, and it's good they can discuss their differences because only that ferment brings to completion the eventual beverage of understanding. I just hope we can avoid deception, fraud, and violence along the way.

I fully support your geas and purpose in increasing the strength of society to resist deception and violence. I could not more appreciate your dedication and inspired work towards that good end.

Thanks!
