Get of W said:
mentality (purposely avoiding the hates that caused many of my family members and friends and their families to be hurt in past years and even recent ones) has left me with an attitude of "I don't care" or a "Just bequiet and accept it" because I find it hard to imagne large scale protesting not leading to violence which I abhor.
See this is part of what i was saying, thats how they want you to feel (yes, saying stuff like that makes you sound crazy). But in this case its quite clear, schools teach and preach on no violence right from when your young, and teach you hurting is bad, and blah blah (which it is yes). You are also taught to just be quiet and accept it too.
I just feel this is horribly wrong on a few levels, defying the government absolutely does not have to lead to violence, doing something about them does not mean protests or riots (infact i think protests dont work).
If you can admit you know there is wrong going on, but you just be quiet and dont worry about it because it affects you, then i feel your failing your duty as a citizen of whatever country you are in because again, you are the ONLY authority over your government (as funny as that is to wrap ones head around)
There are segregation tactics at work too, meant to split people up and get them to fight each other, the government is made up of buisness owners these days, how many people hate thier bosses? and think buisnesses owners are crooks and pay thier employees nothing and mistreat them?
well those people run your government, and let me tell you, most of them are in it for self interest. i think its rediculous you have to be mega rich (and thus likely a buisness owner) to be in the government.
Western culture governments are now run like buisnesses, cities have thier own corporations, its all about the money.
Theres also really as i see it, only 3 ways people think about thier government
Either you buy into everything your told
you realise there is corruption and do nothing about it
or you speak out and get labelled crazy or violent
Yes, i agree we have it good, we dont have to worry about our next meal, maybey if we did we'd start caring about all the money and power we are letting these buisness owners imbezzle out of us.
