“The Government”
The more i talk to people in government sectors and the more i study the law, the more i am beginning to see a much different scene of what is happening.
We live in a world of "someone else (besides me) needs to do something about this." You see this where, when something bad happens, everyone pulls out their phones to record. This is a "someone else (besides me) needs to do something about this" attitude.
The average individual says something like "my tax dollars pay for..." blah, blah, blah. (They don't "pay" for anything, by the way, and they aren't "dollars" either).
People think they are forced (they are not) to financially contribute, then they believe that contributing by "force" gives them the right to say what goes on. Then they believe that by not paying, it would "defund" the government. This is absolutely hilarious because if every individual in the country stopped paying all taxes immediately, it would have absolutely zero effect on the "government." Two completely irrelevant subjects.
Then, to compound the complexity of the situation, people believe that if they did do something, they open themselves up to attack from the same people they demand fix the situation.
Then, in a final exclaim of exasperation, people scream and say that the government is evil and filled with ch!ld abusers, etc.
The key issue here is a lack of knowledge... which essentially boils down to the definitions of words and your own perceptions being activated through the conduit of curiosity.
Yes, intelligence may be something that is lacking in many people. Some people, whom of which are the most annoying people following me, literally comment "wishing they had the intelligence to understand this stuff." Which is like the most pathetic thing i have ever seen in my entire life. People who say stuff like that are thousands of levels below people who try and try and try to understand even though it is very hard.
We DEMAND that an external agency, vaguely called "The Government" (which no one can even define or delineate with any real specifics), handle all negative situations that they see.
So government gets bigger, and bigger, and bigger. Because we as a collective have willed it so.
Then, one day it gets so big that it starts to attempt to do everything that everyone has wished it to do for ages: HANDLE EVERYTHING. CONTROL EVERYONE. ELIMINATE ALL CRIME. CONTROL BOARDERS. PUT AWAY CRIMINALS. etc.
Then, when this gigantic machine, of which we openly admit we know nothing about and have no idea where it even came from, does something we don't like... we point a finger and SCREAM: "THE GOVERNMENT IS EVIL!" with all the righteous indignation we can muster.
So i start to think of it from the perspective of "the government" (whatever the fuck that means)...
They can't win. They can't do anything right. They are nothing more than a bi-product of the "someone else needs to handle this" mindset and they try their best to handle it as best as they can. Enter in all the corruption and how alluring it is for psychopathic individuals to be in a position of "power," you wind up with what we have here.
When you say "the government," are you referring to local aspects such as city hall? Are you referring to State agencies? Are you referring to the legislation? Are you referring to the Executive Branch? Are you referring to a Federal agency? Are you referring about the currency supply being negotiable instruments? Are you referring to the U.S Treasury?
Technically speaking, every single business is a sub-business of the Federal corporation. This can be seen in the definition of a "trade or business" in 26 USC 7701(a)(26), which is defined as: "includes the performance of the functions of a public office."
So you're mad at "the government," where, if you have an LLC, C-corp, S-corp, sole proprietorship, association, partnership, domestic investment fund, "business trust," domestic trust, company, or any other incorporated entity, YOU ARE THE FUCKING GOVERNMENT. YOU ARE LITERALLY RUNNING A GOVERNMENT SUB-ENTITY.
So that makes you a hypocrite of the highest level. You have become the thing you think you hate.
I remember an old song they used in a Duke Nukem game - I Won't Become the Thing I Hate, by a band called Stabbing Westward.
Well you have. Which is exactly how you became a "witholding agent" for the IRS.
So "the government" here is literally almost everything. I'm one of the very few people walking around who are not operating as The Government.
So when you say "the government should handle this" you're really just saying "i have such a low personal self-esteem and such little confidence in my own thoughts and actions, that i believe this completely undefinable external group should be responsible and i believe i have the capacity to play God by placing this problem on the door step of another entity who i directly command to address this situation."
Well i have news for you: you have no right to do that, you don't know what government is, chances are... you are operating as a government agent (US citizen) and have "businesses" which are government entities, you have a marriage license which is also a government business, etc. YOU LITERALLY ARE THE GOVERNMENT.
So by saying "the government needs to handle this" you are literally saying "i need to handle this." But then you feel you can wash your hands of it and now you can walk away knowing that "since i pay taxes, i have the right to demand this."
Taxes are irrelevant. The government can print all the Federal Reserve Notes it wants through the "full faith and credit of the United States." They don't need your Federal Reserve Notes. They are ENTIRELY IRRELVENT.
So no, you have ZERO right to demand anything, you are not "funding" anything and, in a hilarious twist over the entire thing, YOU ARE ACTIVELY BEHAVING AS THOUGH YOU ARE AN EMPLOYEE OF THE VERY THING YOU DESIRE WOULD FIX THE SITUATION.
This situation is beyond comical. It's so wild, in fact, that you can't help but just start laughing.
And then who, supposedly, is the driving force between what happens in this so called "government"? Is it the president? The president is supposedly the leader of only one branch of government (the Executive Branch).
So he/she is only one piece of a much bigger puzzle.
What I'm trying to say here, ultimately, is the problem is not "who do we point the finger at?" This entire situation is a by-product of the "who do we point the finger at" mentality. You point it at yourself.
There is no one who is going to come and save you. Plus, why are you living in such a pathetic way to where you believe you need to be saved? That's disgusting. No wonder your life is trash. It should be!
So no, there is no vague mass called "government." The entire country has become government. And not solely because of evil, but mainly due to our own desires to have someone else treat us like we are infants and persons of unsound mind. We literally boast online about how proud we are to be infants.
And then "the government" treats us all as infants and assumes we are, in courts, until we prove otherwise (which is why we need BAR Cards). Doesn't shock me one bit. Because 9 out of ten times (or maybe much more) they are correct.
Stop looking for an external avenue of blame. That's how we got here. If you want to have some self-esteem then do something of value with your time. If you run around looking at pointing a finger then no wonder you hate yourself.
This isn't rocket science and the fact that i even need to say all this is honestly pretty pathetic. But here we are...
Welcome to Earth.
