I didn’t take the DOOM and GLOOM “alarmist” people seriously at first. But now I sound exactly like them. I’m not fucking crazy. I’m just honest. People around me talk and talk and talk like everything is fine and dandy. IT’S NOT! There are billions of us here on Earth, and our world economy is going to shit while we’re killing each other for the last bit of resources left. How many kids died to pay for the electricity used for me to make this post?
And here we have people crying about their girlfriends or boyfriends. I don’t condemn you. I have a girlfriend. I have friends. I’m young, 22… I feel like my life is starting, then BAM. Reality hits me. I was training to be a computer scientist, but the future in this industry is bleak. I became unemployed. I’ve been backstabbed. I don’t trust people. etc. But none of these things matter! EVERYTHING I thought was important has now been swept away. We are FUCKED! I thought I was being politically aware by keeping tabs on the government (I live in the US), watching the news. It’s all a fucking SHAM. It’s over. It’s too late. Now it’s just a haggle over who to fuck over. And we’re at the bottom. Us, the common people. There’s already blood flowing on the streets. People left and right are losing their minds! And the worst part is that most people are going on as if nothing is happening. Any anxiety they feel isn’t confronted, but swept guiltily under a rug.
I didn’t bargain for this. I don’t have the courage or energy to live in another dark age. I’m not crazy. The people who run this country are. The people who run the world are. They’re bringing us all down with them. I realized that I’m not incredible enough, I’m not genius enough to outlive everyone in the REAL dog-eat-dog world. I’d rather die with dignity.
What’s keeping me alive now is anger. Because it’s all I can feel now, besides a deep, deep sorrow for a future that has been robbed. And people I know are either in an unthinking daze, blissful in their ignorance, or clinging to their savings account of “the afterlife” to care what goes on in the real world. The result is the same either way.

Welcome to my realization.
I don’t know what would be worse, seeing the truth now or living in ignorance until it can’t be ignored anymore. It’s true- humans have no future. And it’s all our (mankind’s) fault. We only have ourselves to blame. I fear it’s too late.
hence, one of many reasons why I’m on my strike to not participate in the economy, I spend no money, living life for free and only on bare essentials to survive, don’t have to pay taxes, don’t have to work, don’t have to do anything, I can be happier this way, just hanging with my friends for free. I will not spend useless paper or metal on restaurants, movies, video games or anything, yes I’m one person, but a person can still influence many to do the same, if we all did our part to make people realize that we don’t have to bend to their will but they must compromise to meet our will to even have an economy, this government should surely change. People don’t have to do the exact same strike as I am, but something should be done until the shitty ass government gets off it’s lazy ass and realize, just because they can take advantage of some, doesn’t mean that all are dumb enough to fall for their rules, there are loop holes, they can’t force you to buy new technology or gas or any of that other stuff. You could go out, buy some seeds and plant your own personal garden to live off for a hell of a lot cheaper. There are many ways to turn this around to benefit the commoners, we just have to fight for our right to live.
For those of us who have realized the ‘shithole’ we’re living in right now, and the ‘Truth’ of what’s really happening (I still haven’t even go further deeper down the “rabbit hole” by mentioning: NWO, secret organization, Illuminati, its relation with popular artists & celebrities & business tycoons/mafias, etc..!), there are basically three things that we can do, AFAIK :
1. give up of this ‘fucked up’ humanity and just end our life
2. if you’re smart & curious, then just keep searching and finding for the loopholes (like ConstantDisaster said above well). you can try to work from ‘OUTside’ the System, or ‘INside’ the System, doesn’t matter, as long as you KNOW that you’re doing something really MEANINGFUL about it/the Changes,..cuz otherwise, you KNOW as well that you’ll just betray your ‘True’ self (ie: the self of you that is truly AWARE of what’s going on, unlike those “dumb sheeples majority”), so stay TRUE to yourself is the best you can do!
3. more drastic than even #2 : Revolution! Work together, united we stand, divided we fall. two heads is always much better than one head, especially given the same vision, plan, exchanging ideas, etc.
Watch for organizations that oppose the current system.
Google (for starter): Zeitgeist Movement, Venus Project, and/or Equal Money System.
I myself am currently in #2, and like ConstantDisaster, I’m also trying to do my best part here in my country Indonesia (and thankfully, I’ve also known quite some people who have similar vision like me,…you need to find these people. use Internet, it’s great for finding similar like-minded people, like how we all met in this blue website!)
But if there truly comes the time for doing #3, then I’ll surely 100% commit myself to it.
and I figured…if it’s all going to be #1 eventually,..then at least I will die with GLORY.
you don’t have to be famous, popular, or wealthy, or have lots of powers to really do something meaningful & inspiring/sparking Changes.
Remember what Martin Luther King said and I’ll quote him:
“If you can’t be a tree, be a bush, but the best and fullest little bush on the hillside. For it isn’t by size that you win or fail. Be the best of whatever you are”
niki, I am not afraid of death. It is imprisonment and torture I’m most afraid of.
I see my country move so fast towards a statist government, it’s right on the borderline of totalitarianism. The US no longer resembles a “mixed economy”, but some mongrel economic system resembling socialism.
I don’t know much about Indonesia, so I’d like to know what kind of system you live in and what would be the ideal.
I live in the U.S. just as a reference that it is possible to live literally for free, (beside food and hygiene). You don’t have to live by currency to be happy is what I’m getting at, and by pointing that out to the government that more and more realize this, they would have to do something to alter their ideas in order to force someone to use such a currency. No new products sold, meaning no economy, meaning no payment to the government, meaning they panic because they pissed off the wrong people. LOL that’s how I see the chain reaction. But like I said, I’m only one person, but dammit, I’m doing the most I can here, by doing the least I can for this economy. (of coarse I have emergency money in case, but that gets saved up anyway because I’m not using it on useless things, emergencies being hospital, food, and communication needs).
not to be rude or anything, just thought I let ya know, I’m heading to bed now, I’ve been awake for some time now, and it’s affecting my vision, and possibly my typing. LOL peace for nows.
I’ve been “fighting the man” and rebellious for as long as I can remember. My problem now is that the world ISN’T worth saving in my eyes. It’s not worth fighting for anymore. Why fight for something you now absolutely despise?
