I’ll be out of debt by the end of this year. I’ll outright own everything that I’ve been calling mine. So given my luck this will happen just after I pay off everything.
And I’ll still celebrate for the same reason I’d celebrate if everyone’s student loans in the US were forgiven even though I paid mine off a while ago. Because it’s the best thing for all of us.
Ownership of land is a bullshit concept anyway. The first person to claim it stole it from the commons, and everyone since then has just been pretending it’s not stolen.
Or to quote Rousseau:
The first man who, having enclosed a piece of ground, bethought himself of saying This is mine, and found people simple enough to believe him, was the real founder of civil society. From how many crimes, wars and murders, from how many horrors and misfortunes might not any one have saved mankind, by pulling up the stakes, or filling up the ditch, and crying to his fellows, "Beware of listening to this impostor; you are undone if you once forget that the fruits of the earth belong to us all, and the earth itself to nobody.
What a wonderfully crafted sentence. “Complacency” is a word I’ve never used, yet it has always struck me as such a slick word to work into conversation. I’ll have to be more diligent and work it into my vocabulary going forward.
I hate to say it, but a large number of people are ignorant, or even downright simple enough to be completely satisfied with the bandaid and will stop desiring positive change - leading to the exact same events playing out over again
Tyler Durden had the right idea. Project Mayhem is what we need.

If you own a home, do you really own it? Try not paying your property taxes for a bit.

Or to quote Rousseau:
Tyler Durden’s plan would have only been a reset. The system still remains.

That’s the exact kinda complacency that led to these problems

Lest I become complacent.

i prefer rebellion to terrorism. just stop obeying. that is all it takes.
deleted by creator
yeah the rebellion needs to be global. but it depends on the ones with access to weapons to also rebel. but imho terrorism only makes things worse.

yeah 100% agree with you. but no one really knows what tomorrow brings.
Tyler Durden was on the right track, but Elliot Alderson took it much further. We’d need both to do it right.
We’re gonna need a lot of kerosene then
