"Those who profess to favor freedom and yet depreciate agitation, are people who want crops without ploughing the ground; they want rain without thunder and lightning; they want the ocean without the roar of its many waters. The struggle may be a moral one, or it may be a physical one, or it may be both. But it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will."
~ Frederick Douglass
To begin, let me preface my comments by explanation of actual dissent through disobedience to false 'authority;' illegitimate 'authority' which is the linchpin of all ruling systems. The master/slave relationship which is now universal in nature, can only exist when populations, the collective mass called society, psychologically and physically not only allows, but demands that ruling governments be in a position of power. This incredulous belief rests on the fact that the act of voting for a master is somehow indicative of the common people believing they have a say in their own slavery. This of course is ludicrous, but believed by most none the less, due to extreme indoctrination and propaganda throughout life as purposely structured by the State itself.
As of late, I hear much blind rhetoric, especially from the 'alternative' space, that people are waking up and will not accept the obvious tyranny that has consumed them. This so-called 'awakening' could not happen in a vacuum, as the tyrannical behavior by the ruling and political class was voluntarily accepted and allowed to take place, while the general population continues to believe in this heinous system, and continues to attempt to change it by simply putting new tyrants in positions of power. The system itself, which is the problem, has not been altered in any way, and is still embraced by the vast majority.
The 'awakening' mentioned is false, because it has no teeth. There is no dissent without mass disobedience, and a lack of adherence to any and all immoral government orders and mandates. When one says he is unhappy or tired of government, war, theft, and control, but does so quietly and alone, and without consequence, it means nothing. Silence then, is the death knell of freedom, therefore without actionable resistance, no dissent has actually taken place. The government pawns fully understand this dynamic, and actually feed the beast of complacency to the gluttonous hordes of pretend dissidents, all while continuing the drive toward a totalitarian end with little or no real resistance. This attitude is based on cowardice and indifference, and tends to come to the forefront due to a weak and dependent populace.
What this boils down to, is the non-thinking respect and adherence to false 'authority,' which is the antithesis of truth and honesty, and the supplier of energy to the governing State. You see, the totalitarian State cannot exist unless the people not only permit it, but demand it. Every vote cast is the essence of rule, a choosing of a master, for without voluntary acceptance of that rule, it could never thrive or succeed. All rule is based on complicity between the ruled and the rulers, for without this partnership, no false 'authority,' no government could survive, as the people far outnumber those who choose to lord over all others.
This could be described as a mass state of cognitive dissonance, or it could be based on a constant fear of the truth leading to abject laziness, apathy, false 'patriotism' which is State worship, or just a desire to never stray from the ill-conceived so-called safety blanket of collective acceptance. Regardless, it is indicative of a pathetic and failing people who have given their souls over to a dominate command regime.
I cannot here list every aspect of this domineering ruling cabal, as it is monstrous, and has been since the very beginning. But for the sake of brevity, just consider these past six years alone, starting with the false flag operation called the 'covid' pandemic. That was a completely staged and fake set-up meant to test the reaction of the masses, certainly solidifying that most all of this hapless population would bend over and kiss the boots of their masters. They would be ripe for the next wave of tyranny, and accepting of technocratic rule.
Since that time of lockdown, abandonment of family and friends, acceptance of deadly poisonous injections, masking, isolation, business and employment shutdowns, and total obedience to an illegitimate government, things have continued to go aggressively downhill. How could that be ? How could things have gotten any worse if there was even a smattering of a real 'awakening?' How could an entire society continue to accept this evil and heinous governing system after such a traumatic and life ruination event ? How could obedience and compliance to State mandates continue in the face of the lies of 'covid.?'
Well, here we are today in the most dangerous world in history, and little if anything has changed; even after the 'covid' prison system plot that harmed everyone. We are consumed by continuous war, the fraudulent Iran fiasco, killing, murder, and perversion. Total genocide was accepted by most all in the U.S. concerning Zionist Israel's slaughter of an entire people, all paid for by you, all of you, and done in your name.
Now, the globalization of everything is underway, technocratic rule is on the horizon, digitization of life is now imminent, intentionally created shortages of life sustaining goods and services are set in motion, food loss and agriculture destruction are happening, famine in much of the world seems likely, oil and energy scarcities abound, travel and all mobility threatened, hyper-inflation evident, total debasement of the dollar is ongoing, a biometric takeover is already far along, all as the all-inclusive technocratic control grid continues to tighten around us.
It seems to me that if there was ever going to be an 'awakening,' it would have already happened, and would have been an incredibly tremendous effort by a large number of this population. If mass actionable dissent has not taken place at this point, after all that has occurred, and has really never been any force whatsoever, why would anyone think it will happen now or even later ? What has to happen in order for this pathetic population to rise up and say no more, all backed by applied pressure and useful force?
To disobey every single immoral law, which is inclusive of most all not directly related to natural law and non-aggression, is the absolute duty of any individual who chooses to be free. Dissent is not being dissatisfied, dissent is meant to be an act to accomplish in whatever manner necessary to correct all injustice.
Believe nothing from the State, trust nothing from the State, and question absolutely everything.
"The only thing worth globalizing is dissent."
