I transformed from a rabid anarchist into a conformist non political dad…
It’s simple. High ideals are for people without responsibility. Pragmatic, reasonable people are not trying to revolutionize any fucking thing. They’re trying to pay their bills and maintain a life. If they’re raising kids, then they aren’t even doing the work just for themselves or to become wealthy.
Money. Pressure. Time. These will erode the edge of any radically minded person. It should be obvious by now that there aren’t any groups to join up with. There will be no open war on land. You cannot hope to start revolution or effect any large scale political change.
I still believe all the the things I used to talk and write about. For a decade or more I’ve watched the movements and waves of idiots with disdain. I would not join these people. Most anarchists you would not want to have dinner with. That goes for most politicians and cops too.
Authority is an illusion, until you get a case put on you and face time in prison. Then it is very clear that authorities need you to know that they are real.
Money is a tool for the elite to control the population.
Duh. And you’re not exempt. The pressure to provide even for yourself can be debilitating. Just ask anyone living on the street…
It will change you eventually, for better or worse.
You cannot escape. And that feeling of being trapped and constantly restraining yourself from totally losing your mind… that’s adulthood.
Buddy let me tell you, you’re ideas aren’t new.
It’s natural to distrust authority. And probably right. Almost undoubtedly, but I’m doing you a favor by telling you the truth of the matter. Your ideas are never going to be the ideas of the herd.
We are gonna do what’s safe. What makes sense. What will reduce our risk of destruction or just minimize. the damage. The herd isn’t interested in big ideas or the truth. We want to survive and thrive and live with joy. We want to do what’s right, but that’s inside a framework that we didn’t build. So we choose to work and pay bills and get by and that defines the majority of everyone everywhere.
Who was I ever to think I would become elite somehow…?
I was hoping to escape a life of servitude.
I now just work and pay and eat and sleep. No more big dreams. No more fighting tyranny. Tyranny is right on top of me and it’s giving me a big lap dance as I write this.
SSHH!
Let it happen. Let the government have its way with you. Let the corporate monsters warp your mind and sell you garbage. After the initial shock and feeling of violation… you’ll be one of us. A regular person who avoids police and political discussion. You’ll work to pay for shit you could live without but because of your tragic scenario… you want it anyway.
Streaming video and high speed internet. A comfortable bed in a nice quiet apartment.
You are definitely going to want to have sex with someone and most people are not into extreme beliefs.
You’re gonna tone it down eventually…just like me. And I knew it years ago… and it happened. You’re gonna be ok. Whether you like it or not.
