The only solution to fix this world's problems are with peaceful noncompliance and new innovations that are done outside of their systems.
No bank loans, no private funding from BlackRock like companies for one. Start new private credit unions and drain mney from the big banks.
Insurance....same deal. Avoid it, and get it privately through independent unions. Start up insurance unions where members are owners.
Farmers markets....but avoid the fake stalls which are just fronts for the big growers. Local butchers and if you know someone who hunts, ask to perhaps buy some meat from them.
Mechanics needs to start open sourcing their distribution channels and getting after market parts more easily manufactured by independent third parties. Avoid dealership locks and get away from smart systems that are not open source.
Manufacturing and trades need to be setup, so that requires logistics. Truckers are valuable for this while larger infrastructure can be developed in partnership with different regions on a system.
The goal should be to innovate beyond this world as it is. We need to establish better standards of living, improved culture, better technology, and entertainment needs to be highly available and quality. We need to have systems of cohesive character yet distinct and celebrate the worlds difference.
Ultimately we should all want to have a better world for ourselves and the world at large. It is never a zero sum game and anyone who thinks so doesn't appear to understand what that phrase means since it clearly has shown throughout history however flawed it is, that we have anything but a zero sum game....
I'm sick of doubters everywhere, and I am sick of people looking to try and manipulate people for their selfish aims. I am looking for the <1% of people who are visionaries and executive champions. I am calling on 1/20 of the 1/20 people who are out there....0.25%
The only ones who make the decisions that change the world.....be the tide not the wave
Wrong.
I only read parts of that, so sorry if you already covered anything I say.
You kind of touched on it though with "We have no organizations. We have no institutions. They are raided and shut down or infiltrated from the start.". This is a part of why violence could not ever work: it could never be organized, but even beyond that, you cannot defeat the most powerful violent organization in history by beating them directly at their own game.
Voting, obviously, we don't need to rehash why that can't work.
So, yes, the options are lay down and die, or mass noncompliance (coupled with creating parallel structures to allow survival without compliance).
Mass noncompliance (and parallel structures) requires no large scale organization, only very loose coupling between groups, regions, etc. for trade, protection, etc., and building relationships and networks with those near you.
It does require a critical mass, large enough and distributed enough and low profile enough that they cannot stamp it out easily.
The three potential outcomes are:
not enough participation leads to their ability to shut it down and hunt noncompliers down
a good enough parallel society is permitted to exist long term, outside of the mainstream, or on the fringes
the movement is able to influence and move the mainstream enough for it to be considered tenable long term
It's not sexy, but I don't see how any other path could ever work, and I do see ways this path can work, and there are plenty of historical affirmations. It's sort of like the old stand alone together. Very difficult to break up if the participants are motivated enough.
You don’t seem to understand violence. You’re treating it like nonviolence. I have no idea why you’re doing this.
No one said anything about lining up and shooting muskets at one another.
But does require violence, otherwise it doesn’t work.
You could not ever organize any kind of revolt. As you said yourself, it would be infiltrated.
The only violence required in mass noncompliance is defense if and when they unjustly come to take anything that is rightfully yours. Life if violent, there is no escaping that, but any kind of offensive violence when you are outgunned and do not control the propaganda machine is DOA. You will lose and public opinion would be turned further against you.
Agree. We don't use violence as a tool of manipulation, but it is always used in defense against those who would wield violence to manipulate others. Violence is only justified when done to defend against an unjust violence.
So don’t. There’s plenty that can be done which doesn’t require organization.
Translation: “Never actually do anything and instantaneously lose because you acted like a ✡libertarian✡ and refused to fight back until ten thousand of them were outside your personal home.”
So control it.
