Part one of my own manifesto
YOU ARE NOT WHAT YOU OWN
Ryan Dawson
We are suffering from a disease. Offshore slavery, sweat shops, exploited labor, insider trading, profiteering, dept slavery, predatory lending, avoidable starvation, and a blind eye to the rape, theft, murder, and torture of the Third World are kept afloat by a steady combination of consumerism and sticking our heads in the sand. No one cares about people; not like they care about shiny things. Our nation judges its well being by the stock market or its billionaire companies and not on the welfare of the general public, our physical and psychological well being. Humanity is under the boot of the mighty dollar because of its association with self-worth.
Celeb-head, fashion conscious, herds scramble for the monthly slick magazines of plastic people 500 hundred self ranking quizzes, 400 g-spot articles, and cartoon symboled horoscopes vaguely about themselves like junkies so desperate for attention and direction that any superstition will do. Daily fed pop-star trash, voyeuristic reality shows, and talk-show gossip fill the ears with utter nonsense distraction, and behind every shiny smiling buy my stuff billboard are unmentioned grave stones, and countless victims of imperialism. Give us this day our daily beautiful person with troubles. Ratings demand diva dramas not news about the world. We only feed the pigs slop, and why not? After all they keep eating it. You get what you deserve by taking whatever is offered. Macho man vehicles, business bitch bravo, show everyone how much you paid. It's not just the immoral, profit-at-all-cost corporations to blame, it's (you) the public, the consumers, for purchasing all their worthless hype and propaganda demands. Can't handle the pressure, don't worry doctor spend more has some psychotropic pills for you to pop and with luck hook you on for life. -Ry
By mixing esteem with consumerism our culture does not just buy for function and comfort, it buys for material validation; it buys to impress and gain status. Jealous people covet the jealousy of others. Prestige is often the acquisition of envy from others. It has gone way out of control. Too many people are caught in the game of 'look at me.' And it is a massive game, a contest of control and captivation of the potential audience.
People buy books that they don't even read, just for show. People will buy a piano for their house when no one even plays. People buy to impress. They buy for status. They need 'other based’ validation. Does a Rolex tell time any better than a Timex? You better run to get that LV purse! High fashion makes you a 'somebody.'
You are not what you own. Mal-Consumerist competition centers on gaining more and more property. Sadly this takes precedent over human relationships, life and the environment. Zealous fanatical economics has been the primary reason for such institutions as slavery and Westward expansion AKA murder, theft, and cultural genocide. Many dubious rationals were given in attempts to justify the greedy ends of the hyper-consumerists. But what gave rise to the hyper-economics? How do otherwise, reasonably-moral people, rape, enslave, and murder other people and the planet? "Production" in the national sense is nothing more than gaining control of material at any cost. So how could people become so greedy?
There were American frontier men and Nazis who were nice to their families an animals. There were slave owners who were upstanding individuals in other ways, and who were highly educated and intellectual. But this anything-for-profit and comfort mentality does not stem from a lack of academic intelligence; it's born from a lack of compassion and a susceptibility towards an egocentric truth.
In this culture a person's self worth is all wrapped up in what they can get. Getting fancy commodities, titles, and property is what constitutes "success." Without fine things you are made to feel like a loser. Generosity and compassion are only admirable qualities if they are public and thus enhance your reputation. People will horde in millions even billions and still look for more money while others starve or live in frustration working from check to check. But if you are unhappy being forced into a society that bases your human worth on your occupation and level of consumption, then somehow you are made to feel like a failure. You don’t work enough; you’re not smart enough etc…
Certain 'products' have phenomenally become associated with completely fabricated notions which tie in to a person's self esteem. For example drinking has become intertwined with masculinity. The number of beers one can consume or the amount of alcohol one can 'handle' before they get drunk is somehow a sign of manliness. Beer advertisers sandwich their commercials between all male sports like football. (kids see these commercials) Even broken men at AA meetings will smirk and take pride in the amount of alcohol they could consume. Be a real man buy and drink as much of my product as possible to prove to your buddies you can and show them how many it takes to get you drunk because of how manly manly you were told you are.
Part of the problem with drunk driving is that the drinker does not want to admit that they are drunk, for it is a sign of being weak, and they protest admitting that they are unable to 'handle' the amount that they drank. Just having knowledge about different brands of wine and liquor is somehow a sign of high culture. (in reality drinking tolerance just reflects high prior consumption and a large body mass including a fat one)
Smoking, driving cars fast ( which aids the state with costly tickets and higher insurance rates-the fact that cars even have the ability to exceed a 100 miles an hour is a mystery) owning guns, supporting the military and sports teams, and even the way we dress are associated with roles you need to play in order to "be a man." Vicarious masculinity is a problem. The biggest fans of power lust are the most wickedly jealous weaklings.
Equal examples can be said for women, jewelry being the most amazing one I can think of off the top of my head. The stones have no function outside of gaining envy from others... oh the shiny things. Why does a diamond have worth? It has no value tied to its function. A diamond gets its value from the amount of envy it produces in others. Why do they envy it?-Because it is expensive. Why is it expensive? -Because it is envied. Advertisers and the merchant controlled media (which is dependent on advertisers) have made the diamond symbolize love. If you get a diamond or give a diamond, they say, you are loved or you love. Hey, a diamond is just a shiny stone; it only has the power that we give it. Think of it as a waste of money instead of something to impress your peers. Don't let them tell you it is necessary to give their company a large sum of money in order to get a rock, because it proves your love for someone.
Just like drinking and smoking have nothing to do with masculinity, expensive pebbles have nothing to do with love or admiration. These are all marketing scams feeding off a foolish culture. More than this think of how many of the diamonds were acquired. Just because it was out of sight doesn’t mean it should be out of mind. Immoral acts are still immoral acts even when they are done far away. (yes these are not gender specific ills but they are quiet obviously lopsided with basic observation)
Cost to human health and safety are a small price to pay when it comes to consumerism, when it comes to social acceptance. So what if smoking causes cancer, cost lives and money, contributes to litter, and waste a good portion of a person's income? Smoking is profitable. Profit is a sign of production. Isn't it a price worth paying and risking to look cool, to feel posh, to be a little naughty?
So why is mankind's self esteem on trial here? Why is it so fragile as to be manipulated with the ease of 30 second commercials and slick magazines? 1 out of 3 of people will get a cancer, 1 out of 4 women will be raped before they die and another 19% will fend off or flee from an attempt, 1 out of 4 people are infected with depression in the US. 1 out of 2 marriages will fail... we will kill animals to make clothes and shoes and then some people will kill other people, to steal them. How did the dead (objects) gain so much power over the living (people and the rest of the eco system)? Is this a healthy society? (Mentally and physically?)
Let's analyze the popular indoctrination our culture puts our children through; let's look at religion. Western religions* are designed to break down a person's self worth and replace it with an esteem based on obedience.
This is then reinforced in the educational system. In school regurgitation will carry one father than thinking. If a young little man or lady gets out of line then we can just dope them up with ridlin. There are exceptional teachers but for the most part, the school system helps to enforce sex roles, and teaches people to be able to sacrifice their enjoyment in order to do what they are told. It teaches competition and the idea of the dog eat dog world.
The best way of coping with this is to take enjoyment in doing what you are told. To be a 'good boy or good girl' is to be an obedient one. And what is school really? Even college? Is it what it claims to be or is it a process which ultimately leads to an occupation: to a method of making money without which a person cannot obtain the basic necessities it takes to live?
Schools are having less and less to do with ‘education’ and more and more to do with ‘indoctrination.’ School has become a stepping stone into the business world. Subjects like history and geography have been so neglected that many Americans do not know where many countries are mush less anything about them or our current relations. Subjects like philosophy might not even see exposure until college, and there are many who cannot even see what they are for, much less know anything about them.
A main concern for college students today is not, what can I learn, or how can this knowledge enhance my life, bring me pleasure, or improve my character. The question they have on their mind is, ‘how can I use this’? In other words, how can this make me money? How many artists or similar people have turned away from their natural talents and unique process of self actualization because it would not pay enough as an occupation? And because land and food are owned by a few, without a certain level of wage a person can not eat or maintain even the lowest standard of living. Money becomes the focus because without it you have no freedom.
They don’t have much of a choice in thinking this way. Knowledge doesn’t pay. It’s not who you are it is who you know. Athletes and strippers make more than philosophy and physics teachers. A recent poll shows that 1 in 10 men use Viagra, that’s far more than the number who have read a book in the last ten years. Horoscopes take up more space in the news paper than the latest news in science. The news its self is more of a ratings war, via entertainment than it is informative news. Where are America’s priorities? What is this leading us to? I don’t know, ask Rome…[/color]
“ What is needed is self actualization not self image actualization.”-Bruce Lee.
Cleverness is not going to solve the real problems of the world, like war, civil strife, poverty and the high incidence of violence. Neither is it going to solve the mental problems so rife in the modern world. Only wisdom and compassion can solve these problems."-Taoism.net
We don't need more money, or more brains, we need bigger hearts, we need to put humane people in positions of power rather than the fearful and the greedy. We know damn well how to solve many of these things. Will you live in compassion? Oh the shiny things, when will we be free of their power. [/color]"[color=red]Plastic people and their plastic minds"-L7 Slick mags and shiny faces, shiny cars, shiny rings... oh the shiny things
What is needed is not so much a change of government but a change of value systems. Solutions begin with the individual. It's not capitalism; it is capitalism in combination with a psychologically alienated public. People have so little self actualization (making potentials actual with activity) that they often shop for entertainment; they shop for the art of it not because of the physical needs the products bring. They have so few mediums to exercise their intellect that memorizing sports statistics and finding the best buys becomes a game to run away from boredom. I'm not going to get into drugs and beer addiction to movies, people emulating movie characters etc and other forms of escapism. We are taught to fight against one another, against in-group after in-group and some need a drug like alcohol just to socialize or feel cool, knock away shyness so on... you are under control.
When land and resources are owned by the few, the rest must by necessity find an income, they rent the hours of their lives just to survive. The time given in no way reflects the profits of their labors. Their human worth and indeed the worth of the nation is judged upon how much it can buy and sell. Production, not kindness, creativity, love, or any aspect of character determines the well being of the state. No, it is gauged by the 'economy', the stock market i.e. the conditions of the riches few. You are a tool. You are under control for as long as you worship material possessions. Be careful that what you own does not end up owning you. Out of a week with 8hr sleeping a night and 40hr working one is left with 72 hrs. Then remove hrs used in commuting to work you are left with less than 72 hours per week of life. Who owns you? You don't. Many work more than 40hr a week too. We're sinking in the honey gathered for the queen.

Wow, nice to know I'm a statistic who suffers from vicarious masculenity. LOL
The only thing you didn't cover was plastic surgery. Which is a mystery to me. Why cut yourself up, and add artificail parts to please other people who mean nothing to you? I could find a lot better things to do with thousands of dollars. Those who go broke paying for cosmetic surgery.... hollow.
True though, how can society break free from the 50's pop culture consumerism that has been created?
It's almost like we need an other Depression to put people back into reality.

Great post by the way, Ry. I've read it before. Loved it then too. I suggest you read some Kalle Lasn if you haven't already. There's lot's you could identify with in there.
I'd be up for another great depression. I'm living in poverty anyway. It seems to definitely snap people out of it. Sadly, it seems that's the only thing. Once you start taking money out of people's pockets, that's when they start to become "outraged". It isn't enough that their government violently squeezes the resources from the rest of the world to achieve their current wealth. The only time the majority of us seem to care is when and if it directly effects our bank account. The sooner we sever "things" identifying who we are, the more production will go down, the less violent the world will be since the U.S. doesn't have to invade anyone with inhereted wealth, and the happier we will all be when we realize we have minds.

Although telling them have freedom and the capacity for it is necessary. My hope for humanity is dwindling quickly, and my greatest fantasy/hope is finding some land where modern society cannot disturb and set up a small colony of worthy people, and never again have to worry about jobs, dress, bills, taxes, time, sleep, democracy, humanity, christianity, slave morality, manners, and oversocialization. With pollution and imperialism such cannot be reached, so it may be necessary in overthrowing modernity. Quote: Solutions begin with the individual. Due to my previous paragraph, I have to disagree with this statement as the great rabble will adopt whatever values they're hoodwinked into accepting. The solutions begin with leaders. Quote: Let's analyze the popular indoctrination our culture puts our children through; let's look at religion.

You make the mistake of assuming Judeo-Christianity originated from Europe. It originated from the Middle East. True western religions (such as the pre-Christian Paganism) were much healthier. Valhalla, for example, required heroism to enter it's halls instead of blind devotion.
Now I notice that asterisk, so I'm guessing you might be aware.

Absolutely; I shake my head in confusion when people get degrees in business (busyness? heh heh) administration or anything else that only reaches salience nested in the modern system. Personally, I do not care for money as a end, but as a means towards funding politlcal and social reform.

Valhalla, for example, required heroism to enter it's halls instead of blind devotion. No ,I didn't make that mistake that is why there is a * beside Western Religions. I explain all that in my *'s. I didn't post my * and ** here though but it's on the original. Navtive European religions were a lot like Native American faiths. Some were Pantheist some were polytheist but even the polytheist ones were personified pantheism. Anyway they based virtue on courage, kindness, etc aspects of one's character not simple obedience to the authorities. And you're right they were much healthier to us and the planet. (alothough I think religions are false I recognize their power to control, they are always going to be around so we might as well have positive ones) Quote: Due to my previous paragraph, I have to disagree with this statement as the great rabble will adopt whatever values they're hoodwinked into accepting. The solutions begin with leaders.
I actually agree with this. I realize how the lemmings would change if the program told them too. However I said what I said anyway because no one considers theirself as part of the herd. Everyone refers to them as the infamous "they" but will exclude theirself. So by saying the individual I'm appealing to the few who are awake but who could do better. I have absolutely no hope for the sheep. They will change as the rest of us gather power over the media. I'm not really talking to the masses, I'm making fun of them yet at the same time I'm trying to expose cultural ills. The fact that someone is reading the rant makes them above the 80 or so percent for the mere fact that they are a person who actually READS. {quote]Absolutely; I shake my head in confusion when people get degrees in business (busyness? heh heh) administration or anything else that only reaches salience nested in the modern system. Personally, I do not care for money as a end, but as a means towards funding politlcal and social reform[/quote] Agree. Glad you caught the buysness/business thing. And they certainly relate as part II shows. Wealth for many is a method of social validation. So much time and energy is spent getting products (shiny things) to impress strangers, yet very little (relatively) is spent on helping strangers. The opinion of the audience or the crowd matters only in so far as it makes the buyer feel like a "somebody" and not on being a good person or some form or shred of integrity and compassion. When I pick up litter I don't go annouce it, I do it because it's the right thing to do. I man might spend a few thousand dollars to upgrade his shinty-thing car but the hell if he would use that money for social change. What is wrong with people. For real how can a billionaire exist only to attempt to get into forbes top ten list. They could be doing so much good but personal gain is their aim. Quote: The only thing you didn't cover was plastic surgery. Which is a mystery to me. Why cut yourself up, and add artificail parts to please other people who mean nothing to you? I could find a lot better things to do with thousands of dollars. Those who go broke paying for cosmetic surgery.... hollow Plastic surgery is a good one, I didn't include it because I already wrote something on the history of Beauty through time, that goes from Footbinding and ribcrushing corsets to men wearing mercury laced hats to all the crazyness of plastic surgery and make a me a celeb face copying. All in the name of fashion and consumerism, even your body has become a consumer product. I'll post that one as a different rant. It basically goes off on celebrity worship and what prices people will pay even to their own health for a arbitrary conditioned since of attractiveness. It's a simple equation use beauty to make submissiveness or speanding. Think of all the crap people spend on cosmetics to avoid the crime of looking old. Fear/insecurity = consumerism. Just watch the cosmetics and drug commercials or open any shiny magazine. They are designed to make you feel lesser than and to make the celebrity a god-head. Quote: Once you start taking money out of people's pockets, that's when they start to become "outraged"
A great example of this is the rising gas prices. This is why Bush's approval ratings have dropped. I always say don't hit them in their hearts hit them in their wallets, that's how you move people in the U$A.

Unfortunately Iconoclast you are probably quite right here.The anarchist dream of the people rising up and taking the power isn't looking too likely right now.
But the system is built in such a way as to exclude anyone of any wisdom or genuine concern for the planets future getting into power so really it is up to the people to try and influence the powers that be,which isn't easy when most of the sheep support the government no matter how they are crapped on. Can you imagine for instance people in todays consumer society accepting the changes in their lifestyle necessary to stop global warming and rising sea levels? The US in particular needs someone or some kind of government that will be prepared to U-turn current policy,and not only that but also promote a new attitude towards life and the environment. There is no respect for the environment because people have been hoodwinked by technology into thinking they are masters of nature.

good to see yall geting a long better.
Things may have to get worse before they get better. I think irronically the internet the apitomy of technology is helping to turn things around because it has allowed a break into the media monopoly.
How many of you get news from the internet? how many of you could do that or could talk to one another before it was invented? I guess some of the teens might not remember it. I am in my mid 20s and I remember having no net and no cell phone. They didn't exist. The net has made it So much easier to communicate ideas and the mic has finally been taken away from the corporate controlled media.
It was so frustrating back in the day say for gulf war one, to be aware of the lies and be powerless to reach anyone.

I think irronically the internet the apitomy of technology is helping to turn things around because it has allowed a break into the media monopoly. How many of you get news from the internet? how many of you could do that or could talk to one another before it was invented? I guess some of the teens might not remember it. I am in my mid 20s and I remember having no net and no cell phone. They didn't exist. The net has made it So much easier to communicate ideas and the mic has finally been taken away from the corporate controlled media. It was so frustrating back in the day say for gulf war one, to be aware of the lies and be powerless to reach anyone.
Yes Gulf war one was televised quite a bit but the media coverage basically was like propaganda for america.It attempted to show how amazingly accurate modern weapons are and it did appear as though hardly anyony was killed.Now we see more of what war is really like.
They will soon be trying to control the internet much though more no doubt.

The internet is a great threat to the NWO. They will try to control it and censor it. We must fight while we still have it and we must fight to keep it.

Quote: The world burns while we live lives of consumption and production, happy worker bees stuck in hour long commutes working most of our productive lives. We live in peace and harmony at home, distracted from reality by our television screens and movie theatres, by our lavish lifestyles and wasteful society. In the land of the individual the communality of peoples is an alien principle. Content, conformist and passive thanks to our nation of plenty, we care not for peoples outside our borders. We have everything we need, after all, and a plethora of distractions in our daily lives prevents us from even considering that a larger world exists beyond our shores Quote: In short, we should come out of our luxurious bubble that has shielded us from the evils inflicted on billions of humans that have not been as privy to a life of safety and security. Let us traverse the road of reality, sojourning through history and through mirages of hidden truths. Let us dive into the making of the Evil Empire so that we may see what our government has and continues to do in our name. The road ahead will not be easy to swallow or comprehend, yet we must open our minds to the possibility that what has happened is real and what is occurring is not fiction. Only then will we understand why our hands are smeared in the blood of tens of millions of human cadavers and countless more whose lives and futures have been devastated at the hands of the United States of America. Only by knowing who and what we are can we correct ourselves.
Our society is ingrained with an appetite for violence. It is apparent in the over 11,000 murders by firearm per year. It is apparent in Hollywood’s gratuitous assembly-line of blood and gore, violence, devastation and death. It is visible in the ever-growing number of video games sold to our children depicting egregious violence, killings and bloodletting. Our society celebrates violence, be it through football, hockey or boxing, television, cartoons and music. Even Disney cartoon movies have as a main theme battles of good versus evil and the plethora of violence, destruction and death associated with them. The US military industrial complex supplies the world with 50 percent of all weapons for sale on the market Quote: Yet without public demand for violence none of the above would exist. It is the citizenry – with complicit help from government and corporate media – that drives the engine that conditions us toward accepting and participating in our violent society.
Violence in America is today a manifestation of our society and history, of a never ending thirst for blood, conquest, oppression and death that sprung from the first moment of Puritan arrival. Before and after the Revolutionary war Americans participated in one of the greatest acts of genocide and ethnic cleansing the world has ever witnessed. Millions upon millions of native Indians were slaughtered, raped and cleansed from the lands of North America. Manifest destiny ransacked from Atlantic to Pacific like a devastating hurricane, destroying everything native people thought precious and sacred. Wars against native populations extinguishing the energies of men, women, children and elderly alike. The American thirst for violence had been born. The addiction for blood would become insatiable and never ending.

fantastic post- completely in focus with my mindset also and understanding of the higher philosophy of life-
check this i wrote it for another forum just today-
i pray that the palestinian problem can be resolved in my lifetime.
[dont read this if you dont like to read- i wrote myself...] i'm speaking from a spiritual perspective and not a religious one. whatever you define spirit to be (and even athiests have a definition even if they attach no emphasis to it)
with good spirit (or spirited attitude- .athst) we can liberate other peoples lack of accord and general awareness on the home front and abroad and in our own minds and those around us (our immediate environment). bringing back reality and true relationships, and not just a facade of ignorance that covers our minds our bodies the society the mindset, institutions and our enemies government and media and true religious ideals, values principals and sence morality and its goals and long-term benefits.
we become conditioned and loney, self centered of each-other, isolated, selfish, even violent, manipulative, vain (false), and socially aggressive, especially to those who try to uncover our real identity the thing we build a massive wall around with no door, to cover up our own misgivings and true selves to others- all we look at is walls, some plastered, some with the cracks painted over (cosmetics) rather than filling in the holes (which is a threat to the stuctural "integrity"). The sicker we will become if we cant get the supllies through the wall that feed our very being. its dark and hard to see in there too and we become prone to stumble.
we strive to paint and polish the wall so much to make it appear attractive normal and happy (ego) but the inner self is neglected, malnourished (becuse we and others concentrate on the wall) blind in the darkness, lonely- becuase people (society) cant see our real selves becuase were so shrouded in material desires and false appearance. (propaganda) boasting a false image perspective (of ourselves and our higher sence of being, and our true sence reality to ourselves and others)
thats why just letting others know and take notice is "worth it" and a great gift of self realisation and liberation- from the material culture that breeds ignorance and our social ill's. then becoming immune to manipulation and exploitation. and becoming wholesome and popular for our "good personal character & identity" something we have forgotten exists in ourselves and others but when thought about- we know its there. why do you think it hurts athiests when you say they cant have a soul- becuase soul not used in the pajoritive sence identify's our very being and personality in existence- and without that we are just a hollow shell and invisible to others.
society tries to destroy our sence of identity and individual character. opting instead for illustrious/prestigous illusions/facades of ourselves and through exploiting our own sence of insecurity through material american dream culture
"We no longer buy oranges, we buy vitality. We do not buy just an auto, we buy prestige.' And so with all the rest. In toothpaste, for example, we buy, not a mere cleanser and antiseptic, but release from the fear of being sexually repulsive. In vodka and whisky we are not buying a protoplasmic poison which, in small doses, may depress the nervous system in a psychologically valuable way; we are buying friendliness and good fellowship, the warmth of Dingley Dell and the brilliance of the Mermaid Tavern. With our laxatives we buy the health of a Greek god, the radiance of one of Diana's nymphs. With the monthly best seller we acquire culture, the envy of our less literate neighbors and the respect of the sophisticated. In every case the motivation analyst has found some deep-seated wish or fear, whose energy can be used to move the consumer to part with cash and so, indirectly, to turn the wheels of industry. Stored in the minds and bodies of countless individuals, this potential energy is released by, and transmitted along, a line of symbols carefully laid out so as to bypass rationality and obscure the real issue.

Quote: Be careful that what you own does not end up owning you. Out of a week with 8hr sleeping a night and 40hr working one is left with 72 hrs. Then remove hrs used in commuting to work you are left with less than 72 hours per week of life. Who owns you? You don't. Many work more than 40hr a week too. We're sinking in the honey gathered for the queen
Great post, Ry. I'm about to go to college, and I was just wondering what occupations and majors would you recommend so that I wouldn't get stuck working more than 40 hours per week

as a refugee from the 60s commualism show, I have to laugh when i see quotes from the likes of Abbie Hoffman etc etc, the nitty gritty then was really quite gritty. Lots of people tried to do the "you aren't what you own" thing and it tuned out that when it wasn't about "what you own" that people were still able to build hierarchies based on personalities and bullying and other stuff.
It kinda was the same except we were all hungry most of the time, we stank, had no running water, the men did the man thing and the women (please excuse this but its true) got "stuck" with the kid thing. Deapite endless meetings--I don't mean that women didn't love their kids etc, but the way it worked out, either the kid thing was your life or your kids had a really hard time.
One kid on our land had parents who didn't believe in clothes(I mean in certain clothes) they were against bras and regular shoes etc. So this kid , I call her sue, who was 12 and really big busted had to go to a small hill bully school in combat boots and no bra. So even in 100 degree weather she wore sweaters.
She ran away and ended up with us in the "kicked out of the commune" group living in a waterlesstiny travel trailer in some hollow cut off from our share of the food stamps and hay money. Anyway, we worked haying and bought her a bra and some shoes--they came after us--oh well--
it is kind of easy to be poor when you are young, fairly healthy, and have maybe one kid. If you are older or have maybe two kids and happen to get sick and are poor it is really bad. I agree that money and fashion and all that are not" real "etc etc, but "after the revolution" in say 1973 when all the revolutionary "leaders-"- bullies, bigmouths, assholes whatever you want to call them, (consensus was a joke) went back to teaching or onto the lecture circuit, started medical clinics(while we watched the kids) lots of us were left on the streets with no money, no skills, no real education, no power, just lots of warrants, scars, kids, etc etc
we ended up bussing the tables of the rude rich college student late night marxists in the cafes of Berkeley being told how by our friends on welfare cause they had kids *and no warrants, that we were sellouts to the man for working (undr fake names) and having our taxes witheld (Like we had a chokce--we were sick of selling plasma in creepy places, on ripped up green naughahyde loungers, freezing cold when they returned the diluted cells, with the nurses helpers reading whether or not we got the right red cells back or died, we knew as last months corner junkies, now dressed in white lab coats. Long brown roots and platform white shoes.
Pan handling was getting bad, the war was over and everybody with a degree , had taken theirs and gone home. We who had" tuned in and turned on and dropped out "were screwed. We who had been beaten senseless at every May day and new mobe, or SDS, or yippie or street family filmore takeover the music is for the people hog farm event and protest were left hanging.
We got older and sicker (bad living) and it was crumby being basically spit on by the revolution's leftovers. After almost dying in the steets myself, seeing my friends die from lack of medical help, more die from PTSD from vietnam, after being beaten, shot and jailed by the cops for no other reason than being poor and homeless, after days in bad hospitals, I tried to join the military.
they said m you are a wreck, we don't want you. So my boyfriend joined. I got surgery and we got a place to live and food. And that was before the real economic draft kicked in after Reagan. I t always reminded me of that Dylan line"nobody ever taught you how to live out on the street and now you have to get used to it{ and "you used to be so amused with napoleon in rags and the language that he used, go to him now he calls you you can't refuse, when you aint got nothing you got nothing to lose, you are invisible" this really is true. I believed that moeny didn't matter, that looks and clotes and "things" were bullshhit as far as being a person. I didn't think it mattered it you were smart or not. I still believe that. But with a caution I didn't have before. Built on oain ane fear and just from living as long as IA have, how I have,
I really do hope that we can get rid of the neocons and the zionists and take back our country and make it an ok place to live. I have been at the barricades. I have had friends killed. Iwent into labor and lost my first kid in washington DC at nixons anti-inaugural demo--in pink tear gas. Iwent into labor and later had to have my kid disconeected from air.
We have to do better this time--be more careful about how we take care of eachother. If kids go to college and ask "what eill this get me" it has to mean more than I thought it did and less than people mean now. Most people an here sound pretty articulate. Even if autodidact--not all are able to do this. We need to make sure we don't trample our own on the way to throwing the SOBs out.
This isn't just mushy crap--it is real--BSCAUSE without it they win, cause we get older, and sick, and tired and have no healthcare and goldenseal and comfrey aren't cutting it and moldy winter wheat waffles in an abandoned farm in a wet tipi isn't cutting it, and no matter how many underground papers we sell, somebody high up gets coopted, and the shitworkers lose thier homes.
really , first thing we as a group for change has to do is figure out how we are going to take care of eachother and survive in order to kick their asses out of our world's pseudo-government. "Real" doesn't always look the same. Sometimes real is taking the beta-blocker or insulin--whatever it takes to live, survive and be able to fight on all levels. I hope that the internet will make this easier, but anyone who is even on a computer on the internet already is pretty high up on the food-chain on some level, money, brains,academics, getting help, something, Not just some rural kid hanging out at some wet wal-mart at 3 am with no money.
Dylan Avery, "Loose Change" is from my town. He was abused miserably, but he is brilliant. There are so many more who get the same abuse and have no great mom, or unreal brainpower to get into. For every Ry or Dylan Avery, there are 50-100 with no clue. I saw post saying that everyone can protest and they "know", that their lives don't make them who they are, but in rural land, it isn't like that, I don't know about cities, but I Have one kid with a 75 IQ who has alot of friends who move here from the city to escape gangs etc. They have no clue either. We need to bring them with us.

So even in 100 degree weather she wore sweaters.
There is a huge difference between buying things based on physical need, comfort, and function and those bought out of psychological want and need for prestiege. This was not a basic rant on meterialism as one may assume.
I used to be very poor, not able to eat poor. Never had grades or test scores in high school (and I went to three of them my home was destoyed in a hurricane) I had dysgraphia and didn't know it. I got three jobs rented a girl's closet as a room in a house full of gay people, inrolled in a comunity college, got straight As tried to transfer to my GF's school got rejected went there for summer school got straight As again busted my ass demanded an intervirew (as I was helping my GFs friends with there work) and I got into William & Mary graduated (even though I was living on the meal system and generousity of others) got a good job paid off loans and now I am doing fine and living in Japan. Now I never "got stuck" with a kid but I have to say that does not happen by acciedent. People can work there way up in America.
Now I do not agree with real estaters HOAs. It is wrong for a person to just 'own' homes and everyone else works all day just to transfer the money to a guy that does absolutely nothing. The income does not reflect the labor. If less of that money went to rent/morage then it would be spent on other thing and diversify the wealth which is better for everyone.

Unfortunately these days you don't get every weekend off. More and more is expected of teachers like more and more is expected of all jobs. Accountability, self-importance, skewed work ethics mean we are all working for the sake of working these days. We are all reinventing the wheel, having meetings about meetings, being trained in common sense, making our mark by changing everything again, generating paperwork and more work, generating new positions, making those above us more important, creating jargon, the list goes on. I am sure you all know what I mean. It is all crap and it is keeping us all stressed so that we stay confused and pliable. It all doesn't matter. Only some of us are actually saving lives. The rest is all crap. No job is immune.

some jobs are 24/7. Not all jobs that have to be done generate income, but we all still have to live and somebody has to do them. I thought that was interesting about keeping us all so fucked up that we are too exhausted to do anything about anything. I feel like that alot. I am in bad health and have a disabled kid. I am trying to start a FASD protocol for rape victims that would have the SANE person and law enforcement have to be trained in how to deal with people afflicted with FASD (fetal alcohol syndrome disorders/alcohol related brain disorders/arnd/alcohol related neuro disorders. Nobody is going to pay me to do that and I am too insane just dealing with a FASD kid and disabled husband and demented father and sick mother in law and medicare part D etc etc to pay attention to all the other ways we are bing screwed by the govt. I am aware of it, but too busy running like a rat in a maze. My friend wants to start a rest home for people like us--Im ready

Best of luck with your ventures. That is exactly what pisses me off about our society. If you type letters for a big financial wig then you could earn much more than if you decide to work to make a change in society. No amount of argument is going to convince me that working for a financial company is necessary for the survival of a society because when it comes down to the bare bones of it, it just isn't. However the people out there who are working to provide people with concrete needs are just not rewarded adequately. Good luck and I hope you get to slow down soon.
