Call me cynical but writing to your government/overlords/king/oppressor isn’t going to achieve your objectives. It’s just giving them a heads up that you’re going to be a problem and you need to be eliminated.
The government isn’t going to fix anything, they weren’t ever going to.
Politicians are society’s failures, if they were worth anything they would have already built that road/school/business/university rather than scrounging off you.
So stop it, be your own hero, be ungovernable.
i refuse to beg for permissions.

Okay. What does that mean? Genuinely asking? Cause the amount of all talk on here is pretty ridiculous 😂
Filling out and submitting petitions to the government.
I definitely rubbed someone up the wrong way today 😂 did we find a narc in our midst?
"The truth is, one who seeks to achieve freedom by petitioning those in power to give it to him has already failed, regardless of the response.
To beg for the blessing of “authority” is to accept that the choice is the master’s alone to make, which means that the person is already, by definition, a slave." - Larken Rose
Ek hou van jou naam 😂 amper so goed soos die ander soort klap 🤣
But yes Larken is correct!!
Haha, dankie. Eerste keer dat iemand my naam verstaan op Nostr. 🤝
🎉🙌🙌 ek dink dat daar is dalk meer van ons hier as wat ek in die begin gedink het
Dis goed om te hoor
I actually wonder how many but I’m sure over time we’ll find out 😁
I think we're as rare as a braai in a snowstorm, but I'm convinced there's a whole tribe of us out here.
A braai in a snowstorm 😂 I’m sure we’d actually attempt something like that 😂
I’ve noticed a few of us here, I’ll let you know who I find? There’s BitcoinEkasi that I know of and one other but can’t remember the name…
Absolutely TF not 😉. Y’all want pirates and warlords. Take to the sea. See how well it faired in Somalia.
Humans always human.
so you dont want to live with me?
I read a paper that proved Somalia in alot of social and economic ways has done better in anarchy than when it had a government. And is doing better in terms of development than many of its African neighbouring countries. One should compare apples and apples, an African nation was never gonna do better than the US straight up. 🤷🏽♀️
Ahem. Okay.
Many government workers aren’t politicians FFS 🤦🏻♀️. We took an oath (some would say of poverty) by seeking to change things from the inside. Some of us got lucky & we created things that were intended for good and later co-opted without our knowledge for bad intentions.
More good changes happened than bad IMO. But even if it were opposite, I still did the work.
Do I blame myself? No.
Call me a realist for formerly actively working within the framework.
Kindly, have you read human history?
“Be ungovernable” is an adorable slogan. But WTF does that mean?
What I won’t abide is this idea of others proclaiming to be “ungovernable” if all they do or have done is speak online. That’s not
being ungovernable. That’s just playing the part of victim like many other pawns have in the past.
Indeed and you have valid points.
Often people get hung up on the idea that someone else will fix it or do it for them and abdicate responsibility to others who make it seem easy but at what cost?
Where I live we have honest corruption that is so pervasive and endemic it’s almost funny and the system cannot be fixed from the inside. You have to do it all yourself.
Thanks for understanding where I’m coming from. 💜🫂🥰 Immediate follow based on such an honest response.
The world is messed up on multiple fronts and it is often hard to communicate with others on their level. We each have lives and are at various stages, ages, experiences, expectations… etc. you get it.
Part of online culture is not knowing where another is or what they have experienced. My goal is always to seek love & peaceful resolutions. Admitting my own failures is part of my story. How to do it without ego is something I’m still working through. Appreciate you understanding that.
My sincere hope is that this place grows to where 99% of humanity comes together. One of my sayings is 99% of us are in the same earth boat. It’s the 1% that we must demand pay their fair share. How we each go about that is staggeringly different. That’s to be expected.
Obviously, my goal for world peace is seen as unrealistic by many. That’s fine. Far too many have died in wars.
