Exactly what he said!
That is how the people take back control... if you can find enough of them ballsy enough to do it.
I've said it for decades now - ALL of the "power" those dumbasses have is the power we give them. ALL of the money they have is the money we gave them. "They" are nothing at all without us, and the sooner we all get to realizing that, the sooner they will just fade away into normality, just another face in the crowd, no better than you or I.
It's the attitude us hill folk had for generations, up to the current crop of kids who got the internet and then allowed it to drag them right off the rails. Our attitude has always been "fuck 'em - they ain't no better than me, and I ain't no better than them" I reckon that's why you don't see many rich or famous hillbillies. We just never cared about that crap. I mean, seriously - why amass fortunes or kowtow to high and mighty mucky-mucks? You gonna take all that gold with ya when you die? Id that mucky-muck your worshiping gonna let you ride into heaven on his coat-tails? Careful there... are you sure he'll even make it to heaven? You might just ride his coat-tails elsewhere...
We all die in the end, and we'll go into the next life the same as we came into this one - naked and screaming, with empty hands. None of that other stuff will matter at all then, so why do folks chase it now? Why should it matter at all?
A wise man once made this observation in my presence, and I took it to heart: "Nothing matters. And so what if it did?"
.
"If people would just stop chasing more dollars than they need, spending more credit than they need and running themselves into useless debt slavery, stop chasing the fashion of the day to keep up with the Joneses, and stop paying attention to the little men behind the curtain, just completely starve them of attention or any sort of importance, then the world would come perilously close to righting itself."
This is just CDF. Unfortunately, whether by design or perhaps personal choice, these recent decades of
decadence makes life easy for those living in urban situ's. For us out bush here. apart for having to go to 'town' occasionally. I have to accept this rot but won't be overturned. Although I am pissed off at having to pay a fee to purchase essentials or to access my cash. Bout time we start getting payed in cash again.
Kind regards.
