Two positives create a negative. You could be pro, or you might be active. In either case, you're a singular positive and progressive. You are acting, or you're merely for acting. Placing the two together in the form of proactive negates both.
Nothing is gained without a confrontation. That is how our social system has been created. It allows that who sits atop remains so. That is even encoded in the language itself.
For example. If a police officer asks you if you understand them, your comprehension is not at question, but your loyalty. Do you stand under me?
People do not take the moment to question, but rather accept blindly an illusion. Since you negate your action being proactive, it only appears you're doing something.
Let me put it this way. You have two magnetic bars, each with North and South poles. Follow along? You place the two North ends together. Do you, or do, they repel one another?
In electricity, if you put two positive charges together, they nullify one another and become a negative charge. It is the same basic case logic with words.
You are allowed the permission to protest, to remit a grievance. Why do you need permission to do that? Do you not live in the land of the free and home of the brave? Do you comprehend the meaning in that phrase, land of the free and home of the brave?
This land is free because those brave enough wrested that freedom away, took control and made this land their home. Having people bandy about being proactive and doing what is allowed is an insult.
If you don't think you should take any action available to us to prevent the banning of it, or that we don't deserve to have our voices heard as loudly as those of the ANTZ, the nannies and the politicians on soapboxes, then fine, don't do anything.
The action available to me is to
not ask permission to act. I do not want told what I can or cannot do.
As much as I accuse you of living in an illusion, being fair, I too am. At any time, my "voice" here can be silenced. I am still speaking out loudly, proudly, boldly. I rather use the strategy of ignoring false power. Furthermore, I rather not grant permission or authority to people I
do not in any way consider my betters. I
will not stand under them. I
do not support them.
Likewise, I
do not vote to elect them. My power is not theirs. They do not represent me. Even if they claim doing such, they do not. They represent their own self interests and the interests of those sitting atop. I see that very clearly.
I also recall that being governed without due representation started a war to gain independence. Where are we now? Oh, asking permission to protest against anti-vaping legislation which has already passed and will stand. You're presented the illusion there's a vote, a consideration of your choice.
You're correct though. I'm doing nothing. At best, I'm asking people to wake up from a dream that has long ago become a nightmare. At worst, I'll go silent because people like you think you do something and accuse people like me of doing nothing. The reality, we don't have any clue what each other does or doesn't do. What the ones atop do is fill the divide, with their pre-engineered solution.
See the Hegelian dialectic in play, yet? See the use of divide and conquer happening?
Yeah, i'll just sit doing nothing. Seems I fail no matter if I jump, or don't. I'll conserve my energy. Lots of other living to do.
