It's called cypher 👉punk👈 for a reason.

One of the funniest things about going to music festivals is that they are clearly spiritual and religious rituals that have been lobotomized of their base meaning. Yet somehow have still reactualized themselves in modernity with this secret encrypted at their heart and still offer people the same benediction that prior religious festivals before have offered—mainly a path of transcendence awakening through the combination of drugs, community, and celebration. While debased and inverted from its previous means, in the transcendental awakening it provides, it unveils why the secrets of this initiation are held in such a way, and why such an experience must be offered in such a way.

No totally true. You could move and be subject to a govmt with a lesser degree of coercion yet you are accepting the degree you are subject to by living where you are probably because it is more practical and still living an acceptable degree of coercion. Again degrees.

Idealistically indeed. In practice you are already accepting a degree.

Vote harder Spain

Well, at least here in Spain, most people "pay taxes voluntarily", so they're not slaves. Checkmate!

But if you looked at how you’ve structured this post it implies as if we’re fighting the "government."

In this Us vs Them scenario, which is somewhat true, it only escalates conflicts further towards division, it’s a somewhat anarchist take, ultimately the government is us in a sense, if the world was consumed by bad incentive structures, bad power dynamics and unexamined ideologies, what would that government look like? Probably a direct reflection of the people who are in charge today, if we have a solid foundation of hierarchical values things might look a bit different, but I’m personally unsure if a society can properly function without some form of centralised control function or hierarchy, because as humans we unwittingly do it anyway through our evolution.

Freedom can come into conflict with morality, not everyone is a good person, so the natural consequence of this is usually a form of centralised power. It’s full circle. Great post, just reflecting on the complexity of it, it’s hard to find a remedy really.

Truth is that as with pretty much everything in nature it’s about degrees, not absolutes. About how much you obey a master and how much you don’t. Absolute freedom is a fairy tale, absolute government a nightmare.

I think this is everywhere at least in southern Europe. Italy is fucked , Greece the same. Even France is screwed.

People vote for the wrong 'leaders' instead of lead themselves.

menudo saqueo... Nos roban descaradamente y aquí no pasa nada, chiqui. El pueblo sumiso del "¡Vivan las cadenas!" no ve nada malo en ello.

Donde estas da pitchforks?

Same shit in Romania! And the biggest inflation

Hay que salir de españita😅🤙

Spaniards already dedicate more than 75% of their salary to taxes: Indirect taxes, the 69 tax increases this year, and 50% of the salary for social security make Spaniards the people in Europe whose tax pressure has increased the most since 2019. Tax experts already talk about “modern tax slavery”.

Los españoles dedican ya más del 75% de su sueldo a impuestos: Los impuestos indirectos, las 69 subidas del fisco, y el 50% del sueldo para cotizaciones y varios hacen de los españoles el pueblo de europa al que más suben la presión fiscal desde 2019. Expertos fiscales hablan ya de “esclavismo fiscal moderno”

And what do the non-autists do?😂😂😂

We incarnated 3D to experience the physical... Some would argue it is hell

Some would argue heaven

But your here to experience it all.
