It's the People Stupid

notice Grok has given me all white men!
I'm going to talk about how wealth and power, though often pieces of shit, are not the real problem. But
the people on the whole, are.

This will be extraordinarily hard for most people to accept. Because if true, no one will be able to project themselves onto wealth and power any more to blame for all the people's self induced problems. 

Try the following thought experiment and see where it takes you.

Imagine a nation with 200 million people. And an administration and security force of 200 thousand people. And the people of this nation are always complaining about how corrupt the administration is. 

Clearly the people are always unhappy with the administration but for some reason are not yet ready to revolt. It cannot be reasonably said that the people are happy with the administration. Yet they do not act honourably for their descendants and take the administration down.

So is it a stretch of your imagination to say that the people are choosing their own misery by not overthrowing the administration? That is, it's a wilful deliberate act of the people not to do the honourable thing and remove the administration?

Surely a successful overthrow is possible given the people number a thousand times more than the administration. That is, for every one person in the administration there are a thousand people who could revolt and overthrown them. 

Some often then say "but the administration are so well organised its easy for them to carry on". This is clearly a fallacy:
  1. using 'organisation' as a reason reinforces my point even more intensely - the people could organise up to a thousand times more successfully then!
  2. the prisoners dilemma fallacy is then rolled out and debunked immediately - "not everyone will revolt at the same time". Again this reinforces my point that a majority of people are deliberately choosing NOT to take down the corrupt administration, thus they are complicit. What's more there must have been a time in the past where the people chose complicity, all at the same time and they had no problem making that significant change.
  3. again, a people a thousand times greater in force will always overwhelm an administration a thousandth in size, unless the administration is a thousand times more effective which is very unlikely
But the people always chose not to organise an overthrow until a threshold is reached. One where they have just become slightly worse off than allowing the administration to proceed. People only allow a corrupt administration to proceed - which is all administrations anyway - because doing so is only just better than not doing so. 

And the administration will be constantly on guard and measuring this to determine how much of the bread and circuses to dish out today. This is not to complain about the administration. They are dishing out the goodies because the people have already asked for it. 

It has nothing whatsoever to do with morals, principles or virtue of any kind. And everything to do with the selfishness and ignorance of the people.

And given the people on the whole are where the real power lies, the administration being merely their proxy, the power that is the people are the truly corrupt. 

This insurrection threshold can be extremely finely tuned. With 200 million data points(not including the huge number of undocumented people) the law of averages plays out very accurately indeed. It may be hard to notice. But it will be there. 

So do not complain about wealth and power any more, it is YOU. If you are a protestor, stop protesting about wealth and power. Start protesting about the people. 

Better still look for the inner light. Find a way to rise above the corruption, starting by getting your own house in order. Then move on to the things that really matter to you as a person. Stop projecting. There is no one born yet who has not been complicit in some way, usually far more than any are willing to admit, in the corruption we so easily complain about. 

The Epstein files, islamic rape gang scandal, migrant voter infiltration scam, crooked banks, the small war in Gaza the bigger one in Iran and so on and so on, are all tiny problems compared to say, Taxation, which kills 30 million people indirectly every year and no one mentions it. There are others. Bigger ones too. 

Stop complaining. Get to work.

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...
