Post-Modern Effects of Industrial Pillage and Reap Tactics

A picture can speak a thousand words, but it’s unfortunate that there are many more words that a picture cannot touch because of the nature of chaos.

As I have written in some of my other articles, I have naturally tried to bring up some of the most hidden aspects of this chaos, but I know that there is no ultimate explanation because our world is based upon individual experience with individual perceptibility.

So I would say it is incredibly rough to live in an impoverished community in a third world country, but what I think we all feel is that another level of pain ensues when we step into a world of vast amounts of money where buildings reach for the sky while at the very bottom some of us sleep. The contrast of this type of reality if we could call it this it utter insanity if you are not a narcissist. But still many people are not and still go about their day as if this doesn’t matter.

I am not necessarily blaming people for this because our history has been pummeled over and over with the idea that the individual cannot make a critical difference. Sure maybe a select few were able to create big changes but these people were so smart we often think to ourselves. How could they have been able to climb up the social ladder if they were not so smart people think to themselves. But the thing that moved them to really change the world was not smartness, but pain, the pain of what could come if something were left unsaid.

It was not really smartness or intelligence that drew them to understanding a bigger vocabulary and learning how to use certain remarks to deafen the pain, but it was the desire to free the people from what they saw was coming. For if you saw a hurt bird in the middle of the road, barely able to to get across, you would want to do all you could to try to get this bird out of harms way as soon as possible. This is because on a very deep level, we feel the pain of life, of others, of nature itself.

Rethinking Possibility by Reseting Perception

Many of us think that maybe if we just do the right thing, life will get better and our future will be more pleasant for those to come, but this isn’t necessarily true. Throughout history we have been told over and over by the governing system to do the right thing, don’t steal, don’t hurt anyone, be kind and treat others fairly, but look at our world today.

Nobility can only take us so far and so far the noble class system is still in effect teaching us that it still continues to be ineffective. That is why we need to consider the consequences of our long-term actions, not just our short-term. For the reality is, long-term consequences will eventually bring us into a very uncomfortable situation if we refuse to consider that we will eventually meet a given circumstance head on based on our short-term choices. But the thing people don’t realize is that when you meet those circumstances from taking the shortcut in life, you will feel long-term choices that benefit yourself and everyone are so far out of your reach, there is no point in trying to reach for them.

And so when we take the lives of most homeless people living in deplorable metropolitan conditions, you see at an early age most often that they were given circumstances that were systematically cross-pollinated from the upper echelons of authority. The way parents act is the way they are treated from its social leaders and officials, and so if we find any measure of abuse and self-harm, it is often because the system is predatory and consumed by a winners take all approach. Why live if the system will try to put you down even if you try to advocate for equality for all?

This is where most people break even if they see someone advocating for a better world, a better future. But when these numbers begin to build up, most people already know that the power of the masses becomes greater than that of a city or big business. But the reason why these rallies don’t formate is because not enough people have the long-term vision of the pain that is to come if we repeat the same old games that the nobles give us to play with.

We Don’t Fear Pain, We Fear Death of Identity

Oftentimes you have seen throughout history certain individuals risk their lives in order to promote a greater cause non-violently. Some have died but in recent years these deaths have significantly decreased, but how true is this if we measure death by the psychological elements of a person’s being. Many say death happens when your heart stops beating and there is no sign of life in a human being, but what if this type of death isn’t actually what causes a death of a society? For not even the bubonic plague wasn’t able to wipe out society in medieval europe.

In what way can we measure a societies life if not by its ability to be kind and do well unto others? So even though the plague hit europe and then america after columbus sailed, the measure of life was still quite grim as we can note religion playing a tremendous role in the unequal distribution of necessary resources to those who actually needed it. But moving forward past the renaissance and the enlightenment eras, science began to put an end to predatory religiosity, but at the same time ushered in a new religion that nobody could then question less they lose funding, and this was the new institution of logical materialism.

So in relationship to death, when people lose funding and society begins to payout people who are in favor of the new religion, people begin to think they will soon experience the pain that follows the demise or death of their being. And through this new religion, we have been told over and over that were are material beings that are merely evolved monkeys from a random event in space that we call the big bang. So if we die, it will probably be the end of us and sure other people could be born, but not I because the old religion and the new religion say reincarnation does not exist. So it makes sense people think that this life and what happens to them is of epic importance for them to be as happy and comfortable as possible.

As so after millenniums of people believing over and over this is their only life, what do you expect of a person who is born again to think but that they should take extreme caution at everything they do and not risk losing everything you have to favor some diverse movement.

The Strategy that Almost Always Wins

In conclusion of this story, which is very interesting to put it as a story, because in that word there is a backdrop of mystical folklore that suggests the plot could be more interchangeable than we often think, but anyways, I digress. We can see what is happening now that there have never been so many advertisments for the new religion to convert people to the rung of compatriots of capital athesim. The multifcated multinational monopolies are playing their game with their tophat aristocrat they gave to us on that same boardgame thinking that buying property was the way to make money. And that other boardgame LIFE was another brilliant plan to make us think our career is what gives us LIFE, which in other words, was money. For who was it at the end of that game that won? The person with a bigger family but less money? Or a person no matter a family or not that was able to be lucky enough to get the right job and land on the right spaces?

And I don’t know if you ever played chutes and ladders but what is it about that game that makes you climb and fall? It is chance but in the real world we say it’s skill, and there is some truth here but when we compare needed skill in the world today to what skills big companies are actually using is a complete outrage. The desperation for creativity, kindness, and respect has never been so needed in the job market, and this is exactly because the big players know how to keep the scrambling to get by: pillage and reap.

Just destory any incentive in life that the public should know about that relates to human solidarity and compassion. Blast them with advertisements that have no bearing on helping people who are dying or in pain from various addictions to abuses. Blast them with sales strategies that marginalize profits for those who leveraged an idea to maximize shareholder returns. Feed them the worst food possible, make their jobs competitive and hard to keep, and lastly give them professional grade education that teaches them there is very little that is wrong with society, narcissism, and exploitation.

The End

I didn’t say it earlier but the word is perception. Our perception of making a living, of the entire system itself, of using creativity, honesty, and courage, all combatted together makes a very unusual situation that I might not always call pleasant. But the percentage of positive outcome increases for everyone especially the sender who demonstrates that despite overwhelming odds, you can still be a light in this world, you can still get up after falling and offer hope to another that may be the reason to live another day. But the truth is you may go through some chutes that bring you down and just like in the board game, you could end up at the very beginning living in this world, and that isn’t an easy position for anybody. But it’s these people that create insane interference patterns within the gridlock of “success and privlage”. Why do you think leaders of recent are often criminalized let alone assassinated for this work?

So no matter the stand you take, there are always options to feedback this world with another choice, a choice that is not based on the same profitable patterns, but a choice based on a united world. These are the words I leave you with and will say that the castles of billionaries will be coming down in the foreseeable future, but it requires people like you and I to try to the extent where death will come upon us and try to get us to turn around. But even in the advent to make a living this way death will come with many more voices of paranoia and perhaps even real life trouble because you become a much greater threat if you use your free time to free the people.

I want to wish everyone a sense that things will get better and change is already on it’s way. Don’t be scared and embrace death when it comes. Don’t be scared when the bills come in the mail, when family and friends say you are mentally insane, or that you will be hopeless if you reach rock bottom. To all of the above, listen not but to the inner voice of not reason, not logic, but of the stars, that is truly your allspark.
