      Been awake to real information since 2002. Hasn't been an easy ride. I've lost family, friends, girlfriends and had to fight my way through society to maintain my morals and views. I definitely don't fit in with most of society which is crazy in itself because I'm very sociable and enjoy people. I'm generally just left baffled at how ignorant most people are. The state of our world rule is very much an elusive and depressing subject. Makes it that much more easy for people to tune out I suppose. You might be alone in your city or town with your way of thinking but you're definitely not alone in the world. Cheers Victor, stay strong.

    As someone diagnosed with Autism, I was often conditioned throughout my entire youth to believe I was incapable of achieving great things in life, and more often than not subject to social persecution, as I was often the scapegoat, burdened with extra moral obligations and more severe punishments than those who call themselves neurotypical. Henceforth I was singled out and in some cases, outcasted from those who I wished to befriend. It is thanks to the subject of philosophy, and my love for it, that I have gained a greater understanding of myself and the world around me, moreover, the madness that the masses of people who deem themselves normal are willing to subject themselves to ignorance rather than become knowledgeable.

      Convince gov to let everyone have an acre of free tax free land to live on and grow food on.
      End taxes on the lower middle class or everyone with less than $100000 and put in more tax credits for helping the poor.
      End farm subsidies.
      Chairty and independence should replace taxes.
      Everyone has the right to land. To devide equally or share. Just cuz someone is powerful enuf to control land doesn't make them the rightful owner. Might doesn't make right.
      Its a natural resource and survival need thus not letting people use land to live on and grow food on is wrong.
      End farm subsidies.
      There's reportedly less than 2 acres of habitable land per person on earth.
      About 4.5 acres per person of total land.
      If we let them continue like this next u will have to pay to drink rain water or from natural water sources, to breathe air, to use rivers lakes or the ocean, to use air space, and to exsist anywhere on earth cuz they will claim they own it and u have to pay them to exist, then they'll probably say they own u as well and all the wild animals too.
      The natural resources belong to all of us to share or divide equally pretty much.
      The man made resources belong to those who created it until they volentarily choose to sell or give it away, Owns the fruit of their labor until they give it away or sell it, pretty much.
      We all own our own body.
      In a perfect world theft wouldn't exsist or be needed, but most people agree theft is ok if needed for survival. So many people do call things they have stollen as their property as well, and I think in general if they like stole from a rich person for survival then they should be allowed to keep those items so they can live. But they should be helped to get a better way to get there needs.
      Taxation is theft.

    “Fortunately, some are born with spiritual immune systems that sooner or later give rejection to the illusory worldview grafted upon them from birth through social conditioning. They begin sensing that something is amiss, and start looking for answers. Inner knowledge and anomalous outer experiences show them a side of reality others are oblivious to, and so begins their journey of awakening. Each step of the journey is made by following the heart instead of following the crowd and by choosing knowledge over the veils of ignorance.” -Henri Bergson

    I'm convinced that large-scale change only happens when we place truth and justice above our own safety and comfort, when we move beyond concern for ourselves and learn to identify with something greater than ourselves - something broader, deeper, or higher than our individual lives. The truth is about knowledge and awareness, of course, but some form of spiritual or existential courage is essential.

      @@thegeneralist7527 man, I wish it were so simple. They aren't dumb. They don't just tell a lie. They have a lie that is hidden beneath a true, then connect the two.
      For example, when there were groups in the US recently demanding you say "black lives matter". The statement is an obvious truth. However, the demand to say it comes with a hidden agenda of Marxism behind it. To say the statement means to agree that the current state and society does not believe that black lives matter and that the system must be torn down for one that is totalitarian in nature (based on the published doctrine on the official organization's website). So, if you don't say it, you are said to either (a) be denying the truth that black lives matter or (b) genuinely believe that black lives do not matter.
      Environmentalism is the same. If you don't agree to totalitarian control to deal with the environment, you are said to be denying truth. Now, the same with viruses and health concerns.
      The lie is always hidden behind a simple bumper sticker slogan, which itself may be overtly true. The truth requires an explanation or a conversation that will not be had. It's apparently easier to sell "someone should do something" in the name of some perceived potential good than "keep your hands off" to prevent some historically inevitable evil.
      I have even seen some comments on this video... "If you don't go [some direction] it means you don't care about the people." Climate change and COVID. Perfect opportunities to enslave ourselves.

The only solution is to continually point out the inconsistencies that are ignored, and which support the truth as we understand it.

      From my understanding of this video, he is trying to get people to see the responsibility we are abdicating to these control freaks who think they are in charge. As long as we let them walk all over us, they will do exactly that. The moment we decide, on an individual level, to take back our own responsibilities, is the moment they will sink back into the decrypid darkness in which they slithered out of. For in the presence of light, darkness can only flee.

      @@pleasureisgood5957 well, the west in most parts have rejected religion. and there you can see how much of our society has deteriorated. ive hated religion most of my life, until i started to understand what it did for society as a whole. families stayed together, bringing up healthy individuals that was good for society, and even if they disagreed politicaly they always had a set of values that breed mutual respect. even if there arent such a thing as objective truth, the society as a whole has to agree on some truths, if theres only one group that is allowed the truths, their subjective truths and nothing else is allowed, then we have already lost. accepting something as true isnt the same at is being true, hence we need to communicate in order to find common truth that both parties can be at peace with.

      @@remiya9526 society gained a lpt of good things though.
      We live in an era of advanced medical science, many diseases both mental and physical can be treated.
      We live in an era where people who were discriminated and treated like sub-humans before like the blacks and gays can finally be treated as a human being(even though discrimination persists in a lot of places) we live in an era where we have more efficient machines to help us with work that is too hard to do by hand.
      That is overall a good word improvement by me.
      Now, is that true or it isn't?
      It's true for me as I support those things, for the ones who preffer to have no injectable insulin, no respect for minorities and think heavy work somehow makes you have more value then it's a lie.
      Also what is your notion of healthy individual?
      I see many people who aren't healthy at all in my book, denying all their desires and personal traits in the name of a faith.
      When Lavey founded the church of Satan he didn't need to choose this name for his organization, he didn't even believe in Satan, Lavey was an atheist.
      But he did so to provoke people and point some hypocrisy most of them have.
      Yes, it may there be that there was more order in the world at some point.
      But order imposed by fear.
      Fear of hell, fear of social exclusion, fear of discrimination and violence against you just because you were different.
      So he found a way to expose that by giving the institution a transgressive name.
      And that was in 1966 so the excuse that society wac better back then doesn't really stick.

      @@pleasureisgood5957 well, if you have been on tik tok you can see how the tables have turned on racism. racism is always gonna exist because for most people, it is easier to judge then to think and reflect. for the medicine part, physical is astonishing what we have accompliced. for the mental part, most physcologists doesnt understand how men work, i experienced this first hand. and ive read 100 of similar stories. was it in the early 2000's the number of mental health cases exploded and have been increasing every year. especially for the modern west. i think there is a number of reasons for that. the rise of single mothers(i was raised by a single mother) and i know the misery that accomponies it. and the rate of single mothers is only rising.
      as for machines, yes it is good. we can feed more people, and people can consume, consume consume. the backside of this is that more and more people lost their job. and this will continue to be true, because in an all consuming society, effiency and money is more importing than people having a job.
      as for religious "rules" and our law. fear is what is used. you wont brake the law because you fear getting caught and shamed. why does religious rules being seen as bad because fear is motivator(?) to be good. in my view, our laws have the exact same purpose. in an ideal world people would do good because its the right thing to do, but it never will be. so fear is used to control society for the benefit of everyone.
      our desires and compulsions are not us as i see it, i see at as something to overcome. if my desires or compulsions are making the decisions for me, who is in control of my life? to not give in to desires shows restraint, discipline and willpower. to seek desires and pleasure at every turn, i believe will lead to a dark place. pleasure is not happiness. pain is needed to know what true happiness is. and most people in todays society have never known true pain or the struggle of existing.
      so i somewhat agree. society is better today and at the same time worse than it was, but in other ways. there is just a new struggle for society to overcome.

      this video just described trump, his cult and practically the entire GOP! the fascist/capitalists have mastered the BIG LIE! they call it "marketing," "advertising" and social manipulation for economic gain. lying and fraud is the business plan of ALL capitalist endeavors.
      the psychologist bernays "taught" these fascist corporations and fascist politicians of media manipulation to spread lies to gain AND HOLD political and economic power.
      bernays pushed the use of the unspruluous tactcs of "firehosing" - the repeating of a lie often enough people begin to believe it - "gaslighting" - lying about the insanity of those who know the truth - "astro-turfing" - misrepresenting the true intent behind fraudulant political organization to trick people into voting AGAINST their own best interests. "projection" and the use of ad hominem" attacks are all part of this fascist strategy adopted by the elite, their corporations, the GOP, the libertarians AND TRUMP AND HIS FASCIST CULT! now, the left is even beginning to use and exploit many of these fascist tactics.
      stalin and his soviets lied about being communist. they weren't. the other fascists lie about communism itself. why? because they want us to FEAR what will free us FROM THEM! its really not too difficult to distinguish lies from fact. if you're a fascist you may or may not believe these lies - but regardless - you spread the lies anyway as a political strategy.
      seems almost everyone has everything all mixed up. and this is DUE to the big lies we've been told from birth. we're born INTO this society of corporate, capitalist lies. why do you think poverty still exists? its because the lies we're told from birth. why do you think the most greedy, ruthless and corrupt fascists continue to rule? its because of the lies we're told from birth!

They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. The moment the Men who wanted to be left alone are forced to fight back, it is a form of suicide. They are literally killing off who they used to be. Which is why, when forced to take up violence, these Men who wanted to be left alone, fight with unholy vengeance against those who murdered their former lives. They fight with raw hate, and a drive that cannot be fathomed by those who are merely play-acting at politics and terror.

    'The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum - even encourage the more critical and dissident views.

      The music example in this video encapsulates your first point perfectly. Right now, at least generally, the majority of folks all listen to the same terrible garbage, and the accepted opinion seems to be that it's good. Having a different taste or stark distaste for the mainstream musical opinion causes people to dislike and judge you harshly.

I've observed this behavior for a long time, and decided long ago that what I enjoy will only be determined by whether or not I actually can appreciate it and absolutely never by what is "popular".

      End taxes on the lower middle class or everyone with less than $100000 and put in more tax credits for helping the poor.
      End farm subsidies.
      Chairty and independence should replace taxes.
      Everyone has the right to land. To devide equally or share. Just cuz someone is powerful enuf to control land doesn't make them the rightful owner. Might doesn't make right.
      Its a natural resource and survival need thus not letting people use land to live on and grow food on is wrong.
      End farm subsidies.
      There's reportedly less than 2 acres of habitable land per person on earth.
      About 4.5 acres per person of total land.
      If we let them continue like this next u will have to pay to drink rain water or from natural water sources, to breathe air, to use rivers lakes or the ocean, to use air space, and to exsist anywhere on earth cuz they will claim they own it and u have to pay them to exist, then they'll probably say they own u as well and all the wild animals too.
      The natural resources belong to all of us to share or divide equally pretty much.
      The man made resources belong to those who created it until they volentarily choose to sell or give it away, Owns the fruit of their labor until they give it away or sell it, pretty much.
      We all own our own body.
      In a perfect world theft wouldn't exsist or be needed, but most people agree theft is ok if needed for survival. So many people do call things they have stollen as their property as well, and I think in general if they like stole from a rich person for survival then they should be allowed to keep those items so they can live. But they should be helped to get a better way to get there needs.
      Taxation is theft.

      this video just described trump, his cult and the practically entire GOP! the fascist/capitalists have mastered the BIG LIE! they call it "marketing," "advertising" and social manipulation for economic gain. lying and fraud is the business plan of ALL capitalist endeavors.
      the psychologist bernays "taught" these fascist corporations and fascist politicians of media manipulation to spread lies to gain AND HOLD political and economic power.
      bernays pushed the use of the unspruluous tactcs of "firehosing" - the repeating of a lie often enough people begin to believe it - "gaslighting" - lying about the insanity of those who know the truth - "astro-turfing" - misrepresenting the true intent behind fraudulant political organization to trick people into voting AGAINST their own best interests. "projection" and the use of "ad hominem" attacks are all part of this fascist strategy adopted by the elite, their corporations, the GOP, the libertarians AND TRUMP AND HIS FASCIST CULT! now, the left is even beginning to use and exploit many of these fascist tactics.
      stalin and his soviets lied about being communist. they weren't. the other fascists lie about communism itself. why? because they want us to FEAR what will free us FROM THEM! its really not too difficult to distinguish lies from fact. if you're a fascist you may or may not believe these lies - but regardless - you spread the lies anyway as a political strategy.
      seems almost everyone has everything all mixed up. and this is DUE to the big lies we've been told from birth. we're born INTO this society of corporate, capitalist lies. why do you think poverty still exists? its because the lies we;'re told from birth. why do you think the most greedy, ruthless and corrupt fascists continue to rule? its because of the lies we're told from birth!

      Exposure is the only cure. The current republican / conservative totalitarian agenda is so successful to this point, and will continue to be successful until it overtakes us, because it is not uniformly and consistently being called out as such at every opportunity. Think about it, you have heard all your life that unity is a powerful force. This is not just a cute and inspirational saying; it is a fundamental governing law of the universe like gravity or inertia.
      The proponents of this "conservative totalitarian agenda" represent approx 50% of the US population and they are unified in the furtherance of this "conservative totalitarian agenda"; which essentially is white supremacy. They pretend to be patriots of this America but they are actually simultaneously Double Agents of a coming Dark America. Historically it takes far less than 50% dissatisfaction and unity of purpose to bring about a universal upheaval and change to a society. What I am saying to you is THEY WILL BE SUCCSSFUL in bringing about there "republican totalitarian agenda" if they are not exposed to the point where it begins to change the minds of those within their ranks who are still reachable. And exposed to the point where those who can counter their efforts really understand what fight their in. If liberals or democrats or progressives or "lefties" or right minded republicans or independents or apoliticals are afraid to use phrases like white supremist or "conservative totalitarian agenda" when calling out their "colleges" in congress or in there states and cities, then all efforts to thwart this agenda will be a mere delaying of the inevitable. The phrases alone are just a starting point. They must be accompanied by truthful and sincere information and context. "The republican totalitarian agenda" and its agents must be directly called out by every politician and public figure and average citizen each time they approach a proverbial podium. The agents and proponents of this agenda are unified and therefore powerful. The opposition must also be unified, and have a unified mantra. A unifying goal. If not, many of us will die or be made to suffer untold horrors. I'm not being hyperbolic. Your mayor, governor and president must take hold of phrases such as these and use them often. The Bidens and Pelocis and Schumers and Obamas, as well as the Celebrities of music and film and sports must uniformly call them out and shame them into submission. A few of them can be educated into regret, but most are incorrigible.

      Good video? He only speaks in abstractions about totalitarianism and never explains how his views relate to real contemporary events. Why does he never reference January 6? Because he can only deal with philosophical abstractions and his never ending obsession with the vague specter of totalitarianism which he mentions incessantly. But there's no meat to any of it.

      Problem is, today's would-be totalitarians have learned the lessons of past totalitarians' failures, learned them very well. Solzhenitsyn and Havel had the advantage of another non-totalitarian superpower lining up against their oppressors and putting economic and military pressure on them. Whereas today we're heading toward the 1984 map of 2-3 totalitarian superpowers using each other as bogeymen to control their own populations. There is no America or Western Europe to save us if we fall.
      The video's claim that Solzhenitsyn's writings brought down the USSR is downright laughable -- it was its own economic system's drawbacks, along with renewal of the arms race under Reagan that brought them down. Not intended to minimize Solzhenitsyn, who was indeed a hero, but you can't bring down totalitarianism with mere ink on paper. And if you delude yourself that you can, you are going to neglect the things you really need to do.

Lies about things we can see with our own eyes on video. This video and this channel is as sinister and as cynical as anything Goebbels could have dreamed up. Truly frightening that so many Americans are being duped by blind loyalty to one manchild. Read Defying Hitler by Sebastian Haffner: e.g."... the bafflement of his tamers (today's McCarthy, McConnell, Graham, Cruz et al) who always realised just too late exactly what it was he was up to - namely, when he capped it with something even more outrageous and monstrous; then also the hypnotic trance into which his public fell, succumbing with less and less resistance to the glamour of depravity and the ecstasy of evil."

      Solzhenitsyn was basically just a capitalist corporate shill. he trashed his soviet masters but embraced the capitalist slavery that's corrupted the world.
      wisdom doesn't come from knowing you're being lied to. it comes from knowing WHEN you're being lied to. the elite has turned all humanity into a species of gullible fools.
      this video just described trump, his cult and the practically entire GOP! the fascist/capitalists have mastered the BIG LIE! they call it "marketing," "advertising" and social manipulation for economic gain. lying and fraud is the business plan of ALL capitalist endeavors.
      the psychologist bernays "taught" these fascist corporations and fascist politicians of media manipulation to spread lies to gain AND HOLD political and economic power.
      bernays pushed the use of the unspruluous tactcs of "firehosing" - the repeating of a lie often enough people begin to believe it - "gaslighting" - lying about the insanity of those who know the truth - "astro-turfing" - misrepresenting the true intent behind fraudulant political organization to trick people into voting AGAINST their own best interests. "projection" and the use of ad hominem" attacks are all part of this fascist strategy adopted by the elite, their corporations, the GOP, the libertarians AND TRUMP AND HIS FASCIST CULT! now, the left is even beginning to use and exploit many of these fascist tactics.
      stalin and his soviets lied about being communist. they weren't. the other fascists lie about communism itself. why? because they want us to FEAR what will free us FROM THEM! its really not too difficult to distinguish lies from fact. if you're a fascist you may or may not believe these lies - but regardless - you spread the lies anyway as a political strategy.
      seems almost everyone has everything all mixed up. and this is DUE to the big lies we've been told from birth. we're born INTO this society of corporate, capitalist lies. why do you think poverty still exists? its because the lies we;'re told from birth. why do you think the most greedy, ruthless and corrupt fascists continue to rule? its because of the lies we're told from birth!
      its just that simple. no need for massive convolution and complication.
