[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Crystal Clear [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] EcksBawks_live [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Crystal Clear Let's take a look, shall we? A look at what is really wrong with our society; It is not the left, nor is it the right. It is not the communist nor the capitalist, nor is it the fascist nor the libertarian. Those are simply divisional tactics used to separate, and ultimately control us. No, I am here to show you the truth, the truth of what is really wrong here. I am here to remove the veil over your eyes, and show you the dystopian future that has overtaken us. I am here to show you the light. Whether or not you believe what am I to say, is a different matter. Now, let us begin. You. Yes, you. You are a serf. Nothing more, nothing less. You sow the fields of the world, and then you reap them for your masters. In exchange, they let you live a mundane, stressful, and repetitive life. They brainwash you from a young age to accept this lifestyle. Wake up. Go to work. Come home. Sleep. Sound familiar? Public schooling. The first place you are trained. Trained to think as an idiotic hivemind. You will accept orders, believe what you are told, and follow a rigid schedule. Step out of line and you're punished. No need to break the status quo, for uniformity is perfection, right? Right? -blam!- no. As soon as you are ejected from the inefficient beast of public schooling, you will begin your debt slavery via student loan. You're the government's -blam!- now, baby! Now you have begun your serfdom, all for a watered down "education". It's easy to see now, isn't it? We're just cogs in a machine. A gray, evil machine. As if this wasn't bad enough. Our society praises living in the now, sex, materialism, practically the -blam!- feelies. And you better agree with, because if you don't, you're simply degraded and humiliated. Sound familiar? I'd say so. I'd say it's eerily familiar. Prophetically familiar... Ah, yes! Brave New World! That's why it is so familiar, we have a -blam!- Huxleyian society! You see, without going into awful detail, the world is held within the grasps of a beast, a real nasty little beast. The name of that beast is Neo-Feudalism. Honestly, take a look. The rich live in their isolated little castles, they don't mingle with us petty commoners. Their priesthood, the media tells us what we are to believe; If we think otherwise we're simply crazy. Their strong arm, the governments keeps us in line. We rise up and we will be destroyed. All to protect the fantastic lifestyles of a few. And the best part is, is that they have ensured that we ourselves are destroyed! They have ruined the minds of our youth, they have created bogeymen, terrorism is the popular one now, communism was the one of the past. Political enemies are simply lumped into these groups, and laws passed to "protect" us. Countries are ravaged by insane globalism, all to serve the benefits of the rich. There really is no hope. Disinformation creates the intellectual bogeyman of the tinfoil hat conspiracy theorist. Thoughtcrime without a crime of law, but a crime of society. The truth is mocked. And the average man, the average man will think these thoughts, but dismiss them as insanity. For the media says the world is bad due to the right! Or it is bad due to the left! Or there really is nothing to be afraid of, everything is perfect! Listen. I'm not saying I am a leader. I'm not pointing fingers at ideologies. I'm saying the rich and the corrupt have wreathed their slimy appendages around our throats and they will not let go. They have instituted a nearly worldwide Huxleyian society and made most governments Orwellian, a fatal combination. On top of this, they have monopolized us. Our blood. We have been cheated, lied, sold, stabbed in the -blam!- back. All for momentary gain, all a desperate act to stay in power for just a little longer. Hell, they're already assaulting the internet, simply because they cannot control it. I'm not saying vote your way out of this. The system is broken. No one can fix it. Your vote is worthless, regardless of where you live, for change, change comes only at the barrel of a gun. So no, I'm not saying that. I'm not saying any sort of political reform is the answer, I'm not saying any sort of religion is the answer. I'm not saying any man is the answer. I'm saying... Rise up. [/quote] Sir, are you mad? Parties are political ideologies, but people make it more. I'm not a serf... School schedules exist because of order and ease. Rule breaking is only shouting cusses out loud... Debt slavery? Most people who think a little avoid that, and it's not slavery. It's "paying back what you owe so the bank doesn't go bankrupt". Society praises that 'cuz people do, too. The rest is mindless ramble... And you want war? [/quote] Yes, and I have every reason to be mad. Oh, really? Think about -blam!- 9-5 jobs. It's merely slavery. Look up the founders of the American public school system. It's just indoctrination. You shouldn't have to pay for education. I see it as a right for every man, woman and child. Extorting people with it is heinous. Because a Huxleyian society combined with Orwellian governments allows excellent control. The tree can't see the forest. No, it's not. Change comes only at the barrel of a gun.[/quote] No one should have to pay for education? Well tough -blam!- buddy, 'cause teachers need to eat to. Want free health care? Someone's got to keep the machines running, the doctor has to feed his family and medical supplies aren't made from good thoughts and fairy dust. This is one of the major problems I see with society today, not enough people have encountered a real need or hunger to comprehend that everything has to come from somewhere. Cows don't just die and miraculous fall apart into precooked patties. Some one has to butcher it, and does it make them a bad person to demand some payment for their work so they can have some nice things? It's honestly hilarious how police, paramedics, teachers, doctors, and firemen are absolutely necessary for an operable society, and most people respect them for their contributions. But as soon as someone doesn't have enough money to pay for a new kidney, a procedure that costs thousands of dollars for a hospital to perform, the doctors and health care system become blood sucking vampires feeding off the suffering of 'the people (don't think I didn't notice you setting up the same "us vs them" mentality you blame the rich of)' And as soon as people hear their taxes have to go up so that the school can buy gas for the buses, suddenly the teachers should just sacrifice their pay. The thing you just don't realize is that it's not some group of rich doctors/teachers/movie stars that are holding you down and making you pay for things, it's the fact that there are only a limited number of things in the world, and everyone wants as many as possible. Have a talent that lets you get more things than someone else, congratulations, according to your ideas they're a bad person. Human nature is to never be satisfied for long, the "rich" aren't trying to do you harm, their trying to make their own lives better, and just as you can't imagine any stress from dealing with paparazzi, fame, political decisions, medical student loans, or any of the other things they go through, they can't imagine any of the bills or paying for education that you go through, so as far as they can see what they are wanting is far, just how as you see it what you are wanting is fair.
