Democratic politics got forever broken by the rise of Corporations and specifically Corporate Agendas.
Corporations naturally discovered that getting shit done happened best by a tight bureaucratic hierarchy. An Oligarchy. A modest dynasty, devoid of democratic headwinds.
This approach proved more adaptable and enterprising vs a free-market of “macro” accepted officials working within the larger & smaller free-(or not so free) markets of publicly accepted officials and capitalistic plebs.
Corporations became the ultimate “level-up” of Capitalism. By “leveling-middle”. They were semi-powerful, yet extremely mobile in the Capitalist system.
Similar to how wolves came to rule the transition between mammals and humans.
People complain that “Capitalism” is a failure. They’re wrong. Capitalism is succeeding incredulously.
Yet ironically, we no longer have Capitalism, not as seen from our little tiny plebian point of view.
Corporations became the dominant creature in modern society.
They outpaced individuals, certainly. No argument. And States, and Countries.
Their Organizational Model has transcended everything we puny people can even believe is rational.
Capitalism doesn’t exist anymore, because capitalism won. (And I’d argue, is seeking to impose Communism in its wake, because Communism is the Form of successful Capitalistic bureaucracies…but I digress…).
This is the world we live in now. Can we shoulder it? We have to. But we need to clearly feel and be aware of this ‘Corporate’ disdain for us. Because this disdain is what they LIVE on, and THRIVE on.
Make no mistake. People are generally lovable, and acceptable. Individually, and in groups. But Corporations, Agencies, Governmental Organizations, et al are sociopathic cancers on the planet. Not just some of them. All of them.
You may disagree with me here.
So this is naturally where we might part in this discussion, no?
Fair enough.
I’ll continue, if you’re willing to listen. I’ll offer that in my experience those who seek positions of centralized control are sick. They believe they have a natural capability to decide what other people need to do. This isn’t bad, but it’s a red flag, in all cases. People who seek to ‘guide’ other people are almost always sociopathic. That’s an exaggeration, they may merely be narcissistic, or youngest children…but people who SEEK to lead others - who ‘need’ to lead - are never to be trusted. We all operate from a need. The ‘need’ to lead is a sickness like everything else. Don’t Trust, Verify!
True Leaders are shoved unwillingly into leadership by their people and their deeds. True Leaders are Chosen, never Voted on.
Sociopaths seek control because the realms of Control are where they feel comfortable and justified. They LOVE rulership! They love/hate (sub/dom) being ruled themselves. But they long to rule us. They feel inadequate “just being with friends and loved ones”. Sociopaths never want to ‘spend time with loved ones and friends’. They want to be in a world of Alpha and Beta. That makes sense to them. They will strive to attain these worlds - and remain in these worlds - until they die. Because, again, ‘spending time with loved ones and friends’ isn’t a thing that makes sense to them.
Sociopathy is a sickness, and Sociopaths cannot live normal lives.
They must seek the endless ‘sport’ of Global Power.
And we must live with them. They’re not evil, they just live in a world that promotes their inadequacy to apocalyptic levels. We can’t oppose them, because we’re normal. We don’t want to oppose them. That’s what gives them their strength.
So as #Bitcoiners we need to steel our juevos. Seriously.
Because they are coming for us, and they will scorch and burn the Earth to stop us. Not a metaphor. Because they don’t know any different. They can’t help but be self-destructive when their whole existence is threatened.
They need to be the people in Power, who tell all of us what to do.
They can’t be reasoned with. They’re sociopaths.
They will scorch the Earth to stop us as we threaten them.
We are inadequate to oppose them, right now. And yet, we can’t give them more time to oppose us, because they’re far more prepared than we thought they’d be.
We need to focus, things are going to happen quickly. We need to act as one. Everything will be decided shortly. The kids who think Bitcoin is certain are going to be called on to take a side very soon.
And it’s ok. This is what it was always coming down to. So breathe. And be clear.
Because the future is going to happen before all our eyes.
