Politicians are a Proxy for You, the People

So it signals a neurosis if you blame them for your problems in the world.

It does not matter whose side you are on or which side you are blaming if you blame politicians for your problem and you are acting neurotically. And would do well to seek help before you cause destruction for your household and those around you.

Left or right, planet savers or planet destroyers, Trump or brexit, democrats or republicans, it does not matter. If you pick sides tribally in this you are signalling neurosis in yourself. 

Because the leaders who the people elect are a proxy of those people, a direct proxy for them. 

These leaders are they are the best representation of you, the people. They are only there because they are the best representation of you. The people this is how democracy works. It finds leadership, which most likely represents those people who elect them. It works perfectly. There is nothing wrong in the mechanism by which democracy works. Yes, there might be something wrong with democracy in and of itself because it selects leaders we often do not want in the end. Nonetheless, these leaders are a proxy for you, the people. 

So if you ever complain in public about the leaders you have elected, those who hear you will see you as an idiot because it was you that done it. It was you that created this world. You. 

You will be seen as a spoilt child who cannot have their sweeties. And should be treated and disciplined as such. If you're an adult, how do you discipline this child then? Well I would say deny them the vote obviously whatever age they are. Because they are a danger to the community and they have signalled this very strongly, they blame the leaders they elected. Clearly a neurotic activity bordering on psychotic.

If there are no leaders you respect and trust available on the ballot, then you have no choice not to vote at all. If you still vote for the least worst of them, that is no worse than voting for the worst of them when the opportunity is there not to vote at all.

If you persist in voting for a leader where no one on the ballot deserves to be elected, then you have become part of the problem.

Of course, this cuts both ways. If the people of a Nation are on the whole selfless and virtuous, then it's very much more likely that will deliver a proxy for them, which is also selfless and virtuous. Similarly, if the people of a nation are on the whole selfish and ignorant, then it's very much more likely that will deliver a proxy for them which is also selfish and ignorant. So, if you're asking this question, here is the answer for you. There is no real escaping this question and answer only with the intellect.

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...
