Imagine thinking you employ someone who steals from you. While the reality is that those "employees" get to boss you around & could put you in a cage that was paid for by the value they have already stolen. Obviously they aren't employees, but they also aren't all knowing or all powerful.

"We the poeple" is a thoughtless, voiceless abstraction that is impossible to distinguish from "the public" or "the majority" which is exactly what authoritarians use to manipulate & control individuals.

Let go of ideas & concepts that do not serve you.

You don't need any sort of collective or a "we" of any kind to quietly stop obeying & stop funding your own destruction one step at a time.

The poeple must take a stand

Nah. It's a "be the change you wish to see" situation. People have to stop hoping for imaginary abstractions to save them. No group, no politician, no one else, is coming to save you. Group think is always stupid & almost always destructive. There are people building tools that help individuals save themselves, but that's it, the rest is up to each of us.

Yes groups, it's always groups. The individual can only go so far.

An individual can save the world. Groups can't do anything, they don't exist except as a shortcut in the minds of men.
