When the People Have Become Corrupt, the Worst Quickly Rise to the Top

 

The lesson of the centuries
And once a threshold has been reached the leaders we elect are bound to be corrupt too.

This observation is extraordinarily difficult for anyone to accept. 

Because projecting our own darker side onto this world is such a quick and easy escape route.

This deeper darker side being our own complicity in the corruption, either directly or indirectly by running cover for others doing it for us. 

In this duality we call 'society', the congregations on both sides will each be projecting themselves onto the other side. Complaining wildly about how evil they are while proceeding to commit the same evil. 

This is not hypocrisy, if we are not conscious of our deeper darker side. It is tribal epistemology - a hard core Obedience to our tribal narrative, which is more important than abstract principles like morals, observing facts, conserving the world and justice etc...

So, once both tribes are fully obedient and in perennial competition with each other for power, 

e.g. President Trump is trying to save the West because the narrative believes that is good. And the rest are trying to destroy the West because it thinks that is good. It doesn't matter how bad the people have to be so long as the tribal narrative is perpetuated. You can even kill people who do not agree or rape small children or rob an entire nations charity coffers with impunity, IF, if doing so upholds the narrative. And get away with it. Nay, be widely praised for it. 

Who created this world? We did. So it belongs to us, all of it. No one is exempt out of the billions involved directly or indirectly in the crime. We can try to escape from complicity by projecting ourselves onto the other tribe by using national level propaganda and politics. But this is just theatre in our imaginations, at scale. We are still guilty as charged. There is no escape in actuality, it is still all there. 

And once a threshold has been reached the leaders we elect are bound to be corrupt too. What else could they be but corrupt. They still have to answer to our demands, otherwise we will not allow them to stand. 

There has only ever been The One who was not one of the billions of corrupt people.

A Dialogue on the UK's Accession to the United States (UKEXIT)

A Dialogue on the UK's Accession to the United States Executive Summary This initiative seeks to foster a formal dialogue regarding the potential accession of the countries of the United Kingdom , to the United States , as individual states.  Being English the main focus is for the country of England to accede. The original intent was to ask the government to lead on it through a petition leading to the question coming before the House of Commons. This was crushed out of hand by the committee leading petitions, which was not a surprise.  Simply put, this petition is asking the government to start a conversation about the benefits of leaving the UK and joining the United States. Let us call the initiative UKEXIT (yukezit) The objective is to evaluate the benefits to citizens and stakeholders, encouraging a constructive discourse on the political, economic, and social implications of such a union. If Wales , Northern Ireland , Scotland , or  England were to leave the Unit...

The 450 Volt Truth: From Orwell to Obedience

A Complete Thread on Dystopia, Milgram, and Breaking the Agentic State - Why People Act Irrationally and Often Violently When a Tribal Social Structure and Its Hierarchy Are Brought Under Serious Scrutiny This is a tricky topic. Please read the Obedience Glossary of Terms before proceeding Executive Summary This piece was written from a long conversation with Grok. I had to interrogate the AI quite a bit. And was astonished at how it produced such intelligence. I've included the most pertinent parts. Do not be fooled into thinking this is just another Orwell analysis. That is just setting the scene well. For what comes later on the agentic state and how power uses it to control the masses.  It may not have all the answers. It might wrong. A lot of it is very hard to believe is happening. But it still seems to fit the bizarre world of system wide dissonance we all live and partake in today, better than all the alternatives. So deserves your continued attention. By all means make yo...

Government & Tax Death Toll

I'm going to show you how government and taxation causes more excess death than any other factor, even global wars and pandemics. It is and always has been the biggest genocide of all. And its deliberate. Government doesn’t just fail to save lives — it takes them, at scale.  2–6 million globally 200K–400K in the U.S. 50K–80K in the UK Every year. Every tax. Every regulation. Cumulatively since 1970 government and tax killed between 160 and 300 million people across the globe  More than all 20th century wars and genocides combined (260M) In the U.S. ten times more than all U.S. combat deaths in history (10 * 1.2M) In the UK equivalent to 1 in 15 of all deaths And the nations with more regulations and a higher tax to GDP ratio such as the UK and US, tend to kill more of their own citizens per capita. The poorest nations have a better record than the richest. All this excess death is rooted in the institutions of taxation - the theft of private property, by force, against your fr...
