Power, and Property Rights
Ultimately Power is the only real goal for all of us. Property inevitably is the reward. I'm not saying this is a good thing or a bad thing. I am saying that is what all of us make our primary goal no matter what we say to our friends, to the priest or when we pray. Confess it and you will go far.
In the end this means property is the gold standard for owning the earth while we are here. Embrace it. You don't have to agree it's a good or a bad thing. It is simply the Gold. Embrace it and dance with it and you will go even further.
Many make a stand for justice when there's no danger, speak proudly of their activism when merely doing their duty or claim to hold the top people to account when it makes them a winner.
The very same people suddenly lose all this confidence when it gets dangerous, when a little more freedom is needed or when they are likely to be the loser.
The transition is always immediate. And can flip flop back and forth forever. It all depends on how the narrative you follow flows. Logic, reason, sanity, justice are merely frivolous and often treated as vexatious.
What matters is that you are obedient. To the narrative. Because obedience makes you an instrument of control, for power. And being seen to be obedient means those higher up the chain will be pleased with you.
It's not that there are the poor, a bunch of people in the middle and the rich. It's just that everyone is competing to be the most obedient. The best rising more quickly to the top.
So laugh, secretly mind, when people say tax the rich or feed the poor. Laugh at them secretly though, else you will be signalling disobedience. When people talk about rich and poor they are lying to themselves. Harming themselves. Not embracing the gold. Not confessing the shadow. They should stop pretending to worry about the rich and poor because it is them who is being harmed. By themselves.
Obedience, leads to Power far more quickly than your principles. If you're seen as a principled person, it's treated as a flaw in your personality and you're treated as an outsider, often exiled. You have been disobedient. But if you're an expert principles troll pretending to care more about your principles than being obedient, you can run cover for those near the top, because that fake activity is signalling even more obedience. And they will be even more pleased with you.
It's no use being critical of politicians. For they are a proxy for these exact same people. They were elected exactly for being the best of all at it. Obedient people only complain about leaders spouting the competing narrative. And your leaders, again, will be pleased with you.
There is no rich and poor. There is only the more obedient, and the less.
The left side of this false battle will major on equal rights to property. The right, to Power. But in the end both are going after both. And just masquerade as planet savers. It's a competition between two almost identical ideologies, for Power. Power is all. Each side differs at the margin, only by the narrative used. A story. Just a story.
Ultimately Power is the only real goal for all of us. Property inevitably is the reward.
