Leaders have chosen profit over life. They only want us for the work we can provide and nothing more. This truth is a global truth not reserved just for the US, this should be applied to every person around the world. Elected officials do not care for us. Elected officials do not care to hear our voices. Elected officials only want our labor and the money that is associated with that labor.
What do we do? I’ve spent months thinking about ways to stop this in a peaceful manner, and the best way I can see us uniting to end the governmental systems that we are oppressed under is to stop everything. We all have to unite and just stop. Refuse to work. Refuse to pay taxes. Refuse to participate in our own oppression and the destruction of our planet. Lay down on the doorsteps and camp on the lawns of elected officials, it is now your property. We will impose a complete shutdown of everything until we are heard.
There is no law right now. Laws are but a farce. I can’t look at laws or the legal system and think there is justice because there is not justice for all. There is no equality in justice. Israel is committing genocide and no leader is taking actions to prevent it. Sudan is completely forgotten and the Sudanese are left to suffer from horrific violence and starvation so that the UAE can profit from their land. Congo is being striped of its resources while the Congolese are raped and killed for those resources. Texas is refusing to uphold a Supreme Court ruling over the use of razor wire. States across the US refuse women’s right to an abortion. Countries are withholding much needed aid money to UNRWA to punish starving Palestinians. No countries are taking any form or a moral stand and sanctioning or embargoing Israel and their accomplices (except Malaysia). President Biden bombs multiple countries without congressional approval. This list could go on for days. Our leaders do not believe in law or following the law, but they demand us to follow these laws that they refuse to follow. We have to unify and stop participating in this performative system that is only meant to oppress and control. This does not mean we should start shooting our adversaries and becoming violent, but this means that we have a right to refuse to participate in the rules-based system because there are no leaders who actually uphold that system. Therefore, it is meant only as a means to control us and penalize the people. They are not being held to account, but we are, and that is unequal and unjust. So why should we?
Stop everything, please.
What we need are groups to organize this complete shut down. When they cannot profit off of us, they will listen. When there are no workers in the docks to unload the freight, they will listen. When there is no one to open the stores and stock the supplies, they will listen. When there is no one there to teach the children, they will listen. WE NEED TO STOP.
When governments do finally listen, we must demand monumental changes and revert power to the people and away from representative governments because they are plagued with corruption and refuse to represent the people. They only represent moneyed interests. The only way this world will survive and there can be peace, is when the power rests in the hands of the people, which means we have to vote. Now, of course, even people can be led astray, but I have much greater faith in the masses being able to discern credible information and being able to question the validity of what is presented to them. Too many people are not thinking for themselves under the current systems because they follow the mandates of their political party. This world would be such a different place without the control of these parties and people’s ability to think freely for themselves. It is out of fear that they align so strictly to a party. They are scared to think for themselves and what is happening is they are ending up oppressing themselves out of that same fear.
Stop supporting a political party and think for yourself. Stop trying to find yourself in something that does not care for you, but what resources you provide. That’s not an organization that cares for you, that is an organization that wants to oppress, control, and manipulate you.
We have to stop. We have to unify together and stop everything. When the din finally quiets, we can listen to each other. Hear the needs of your neighbor and listen to the pain they share with you. Work together out of compassion and not the need to control or extract resources. That can only come from the people because governmental systems have never proven the ability to do any of this.
We have to stop. Let’s unite and stop together. Let’s listen and make a system where everyone’s voice is on equal footing and equal justice. The only way that can be achieved is through us working together.
Not one government on this planet has their people’s backs. Not one government is the good actor and champion of the people. That is enough to fight for a drastic change, and we can do that and achieve it together.
Stop everything, please.
From the river to the sea, may Palestine be free. May the whole world be free.
