I’m going to link to Ran Prieur’s essay called Seven Lies about Civilization. It talks about seven of the lies we tell ourselves in this civilization. He is a very brilliant writer when it comes to critiquing civilization. Read it and see what you think of it. It’s one of his better essays. It is both very insightful and profound. It’s something I suggest everyone in developed or developing countries read.
I realize that the post I linked to is not for everyone, but neither is my blog. I want to get to people who really want to change the world for the better by taking the current system down before it destroys the world. 99% of the world’s population may disagree with my blog and any blog with similar themes, but I’m prepared to say, “Dont’ read it.” The only reason that people would be averse to reading about things that are true, but hard to face is that they are not ready to face what they’ve done and they’re at the top of the world in America, so they’re not going to give up their position in the dominating system, being able to buy goods made my exploited workers and feeling good about it instead of realizing the hell some third world people would have to go through to make it. I feel like so many people have lost their compassion for all living things, including thirld world humans. They’re just as worthy of respect as we are here in America, but the culture here says we’re the best, but it’s simply not true. We are all pretty much the same, it’s just that we are better at killing native peoples to control more land and occupy more countries, so we are more dominant. To put it bluntly, we are more violent and more ruthless than other nations. We keep expanding more and more, trying to control more and more of the world, but it’s only going to end in disappointment. The more we try to control, the more people will resist. The more truths will be told to the American people that would otherwise be suppressed. And slowly but surely, there will be a revolution.
If you’re not serious about changing the world and living in balance with nature, don’t read my blog. It’s as simple as that. But I feel like the more people I have, the better off my cause will be. But most people don’t want to change anything. How can I change their minds? That is the key question.
