This is going to be a follow up from our look at National and religious identity in particular. A brief that allows us to decide upon the values, functions and worth of political influence and how they affect each and every one of us and how based on our own values and interests we all end up on the intricate POLITICAL SPECTRUM because, of course, we all have a vested interest in how we believe our society should be structured
Before we start, there is a thing in Philosophy that we call DUALISM. In its simplest terms it literally means that reality is fundamentally composed of 2 parts.
We see this in examples such as:
- Mind / Body
- Male / Female
- Day / Night
- Black / White
- Good / Bad
- Happy / Sad
You get the picture…..The very same applies to POLITICS. 2 teams running against each other…
As we’ve seen in all the above, with all the many psyop distractions and chaotic themes that we’ve encountered over the last century and certainly over the last decade where it has EXPLODED like never before, POLITICS has fast become the very thing that governs, sways, dictates and decides what we believe, when, why and how and guess what…..
WE APPARENTLY VOTE FOR IT ALL!
Ah the illusion of democracy where we are led to believe we have ‘a choice’ – DO WE?
I mean, we think we do….
We can chose to opt in – or opt out
But until the day you opt out…..You pick a side
TEAM RED OR TEAM BLUE?
RED PILL / BLUE PILL?
And these political candidates and parties allegedly stand for our collective values and beliefs.
If you are a traditional conservative then you will go to the red camp
If you are a liberal progressive then you will go to the blue camp
And instead of being cooperative and collaborative, we’re going to play you against each other and see who wins
THE COMPETITION IS REAL!
You can’t possibly be allowed to stand in the centre and see value in both sides or decide that you don’t see value in either and go it alone
We couldn’t possibly have 2 parties running simultaneously together alongside each other supportive of each other’s policies and values. Absolutely ludicrous, we must have war and division to prove which way is the best
EVEN THOUGH THEY’RE 2 WINGS OF THE SAME BIRD
And we’ll put in fat cat globalist career politicians to do the job of proving that so that for the 4 year term we can all have a good laugh and watch our hard earned money get absolutely poured down the toilet – along with our trust, values, ethics, morals, faith and unity
THE PRETENDER
There is a great FOO FIGHTERS SONG that Kat loves (see above) that asks the question:
SO WHO ARE YOU? YEAH WHO ARE YOU? YEAH WHO ARE YOU?
Where in the quest for self knowing it states:
I’M WHAT’S LEFT
I’M WHAT’S RIGHT
I’M THE ENEMY
I’M THE HAND THAT’LL TAKE YOU DOWN, BRING YOU TO YOUR KNEES
It is literally saying that in order to KNOW YOURSELF AKA your values, ethics, morals, worth etc, you have to see BOTH SIDES and be very clear about standing in the centre and that the humbling of knowing that all sides are playing you will take you to your knees and it will ask you….
WHO ARE YOU? WHO ARE YOU? WHO ARE YOU?
Kat here,
When I studied political philosophy back in 2019, I was dreading this part of my curriculum but it actually turned out to be one of my favourites.
The question for my final essay was on POLITICAL ANARCHISM and it was:
“The view that there is no successful justification for political obligations, and so, no general political obligations exist”
IS POLITICAL ANARCHISM DEFENSIBLE?
And we used reference from Robert Nozick, an American Philosopher from the 1950’s, a defensive libertarian who wrote ‘Anarchy, State and Utopia’ where we had to cross examine his theories on Minimal Government suggesting that the STATE aka the powers that be aka the government and ruling elites should have as little power as possible as otherwise it takes away the power of the free man
We had to cross reference Locke, an old English Philosopher and the Father of libertarianism from the ‘enlightenment period of the late 1600’s’ and then more traditional conservative political movements and decipher which was in the best interest of THE PEOPLE
What we came to realise is that THE PEOPLE ARE THE STATE – Without them, there is no state, no ruling, no anything
Nozicks ‘minimal state’ is quoted and defined as such:
“Robert Nozick championed the minimalist conception of justice, where he. conceived a minimal state or “night watch” state, a government which protects individuals, via police and military forces, from other forces, fraud, theft, and administer courts of law and does nothing else”
Now, the AND DOES NOTHING ELSE part terrifies most people because they have been trained to outsource their powers to other entities and departments – (Remember Nietzsche’s UBERMENSCH from WHY WE ARE? He was literally speaking of this…..How as humans, we MUST become self-reliant, self-worthy, self-resilient, self-virtuous, self-enlightened, self-governed)
But, we need bin collections and waste refusal, schooling, transportation, medical etc etc terrified to question or critically think about how we could solve these issues ourselves without big daddy daycare
We fail to operate and mandate it OURSELVES through companies and policies so eventually, the corporations take over, turn into government and then theres a mass overrule that looks absolutely nothing like minimal government
Right now, the UK GOVERNMENT makes up 45% of the UK economy: (This is equivalent to around 45% of GDP).
THAT IS A HUGE GOVERNMENT!
Almost 50% – Almost half of the GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT AKA the most common measure for the size of an economy, and it measures the value of total final output of goods and services produced by that economy in a certain period of time.
The Government is well and truly embedded and creates laws and policies to make sure they are fit to stay which therefore means that we, the common man, have to do as they say otherwise ……
OTHERWISE WHAT?
Well, that’s a good question
And the bigger the government get, the less people have an interest in them being there controlling their every move, resource and inevitable future so what inevitably happens is that (and thanks to the psyop of them) the more they’re in your face telling you what’s what, the less inclined you are to do the what is what…
REVERSE PSYCHOLOGY IS A FUN THING
So, eventually, when the scale tips to an unsustainable weight of overpower and abuse, the minimal government concern will undoubtably move back into favour, but likely not without a revolt, an awakening, another era of enlightenment
So, we see back in the Nietzsche files where we looked at our own ethics and worth, which Nietzsche was very vocal and focal about in his anti establishment, pro-superman theories, we need to further understand and action our own beliefs and worth during these times of political overhaul
We have to know WHAT WE STAND FOR – LEFT, RIGHT, BOTH OR NEITHER if we are to decide what we want our society to look like, what we want our policies to look like, what we wish to apply and how from ourselves towards our society and what difference we can make to minimize government intervention and so we can self and co-govern, if at all you think that that is a possible outcome for us mere mortals
DO YOU THINK WE NEED GOVERNMENT?
DO YOU THINK MINIMAL GOVERNMENT WOULD BE A BETTER OPTION TO OUR CURRENT GOVERNMENT?
DO YOU FEEL THAT GOVERNMENT HAVE OUR BEST INTERESTS AT HEART?
WHAT COULD THE WORLD LOOK LIKE IF WE COULD ALL CO-GOVERN OURSELVES?
WHAT WOULD THAT TAKE?
So, the LEFT V RIGHT rhetoric is useful for many potentialities – Aka, it allows you to decipher where your beliefs lay (remember they’re always allowed to change – That is our only constant) and it allows you to find out more about your ethics, morals and values from a systemic and societal viewpoint
But remember, you can be a traditionalist conservative that can still believe in liberal freedom and minimal government. You can still be a liberal but enjoy the values of traditional conservatism. You can be none of these things yet still respect the value of all of them. You can absolutely choose what to believe in or not without needing to position yourself on the black and white left and / or right spectrum of the social political tapestry.
