I'd love to Change the World.
But I don't know what to do. And I leave it up to you.
Common Sense 2.0 (Thomas Paine, for those who have been sleeping)
I have an idea that I'd like to vet out here.
Goal 1: Get people to think about the role of Government in their lives and undermine it's influence.
Goal 2: Promote the individual and their uniqueness by destroying group think.
How: This part will require the understanding of how message's are "perceived". And the type of message that will be considered.
First rule: You can't TELL ANYONE WHAT to believe. (they must discover things for themselves)
Second rule: As a consequence of the first rule, any and all messages must NEVER have a source or any possibility to attach a political party to the message. Messages must appeal to the inherent qualities that everyone has.
If you're still reading, thanks.
Propaganda.
Decentralized propaganda.
Random distribution of thought provoking pamphlets that raise questions and doubt.
Anonymity is a critical component. Any hint of the source will be attacked and as a result never considered.
I'd like to see or create a dozen or more Pamphlets,(not one page flyers that are easily discarded)but folded pamphlets of 6 to 8 pages. The text of these can be printed, stapled and distributed throughout the Country with very little cost and effort. Propaganda.
Propaganda, with NO source.
Imagine if tens of thousands of pamphlets were left out in public, all over the country, anonymously, consistently. Getting people to try to figure out who is behind it, what it means?
So, what is a "Thought provoking Message" that can fill 6 to 8 pages?
I have some ideas.
But.
I'll leave that up to you.
I wonder if Homeland Security putting a big red question mark on this goal about now.
The fundamental question for everyone is;
Who do you trust?
Government?
or yourself?
Our Constitution used to work with the American Culture of the past.
Our changing culture is responsible for the decline of the American Republic.
You cannot change the culture through legislation.
Enjoy each day as best you can because it will get steadily worse.
It is good to be old.
I’m talking about changing the culture.
Because the culture is lost.
It is lost because it has no foundation.
For well over 60 years it has been the goal of Progressives to destroy this foundation.
They have succeeded by replacing virtue with the uncertainty of relativism.
This is the target of my effort.
Pray without ceasing
- Paul of Tarsus
“It is good to be old.”
I agree. I have had a good life. I was raised in the 1950’s and had the best childhood ever. But I still cry-mostly a nighttime. Because my grandchildren will never live in the type of world I did.
I would like to retire and rest for the time I have left in this world. But I can’t. I have to fight with my last breathe to try to change what I can for my grandkids or I will have failed them.
That is a pretty tall order. The culture flows like an unstoppable wave throughout human history. Maybe a single person, or a group of like minded individuals, can mold the culture to their dreams...but I doubt it.
Good luck, though.
Second rule: As a consequence of the first rule, any and all messages must NEVER have a source or any possibility to attach a political party to the message. Messages must appeal to the inherent qualities that everyone has.
That is the hard part. When I approach people, they say they are “not interested” in politics as if politics does not affect their life. Unfortunately, some of the people I have met out there seem to have NO inherent qualities. They are all so self-centered they can’t see past their only little part of the world.
The self-centered are a big part of who I’m targeting.
Ask them, how comfortable they are being TOLD what they can do?
The problem with changing the culture is, “everywhere are freaks and hairies, dykes and fairies..”
And that is just a small part; Alvin Lee had it down pretty good. Listen to the rest of the song and he describes pretty well what we’re up against. Not bad for ‘71, eh?
Reads more like Alvin Lee to me...
There’s an old phrase “All politics is local”
I’m talking about getting as local as you can.
Appeal to the core of their Human nature.
When and if, push comes to shove, they will be the first ones demanding to be left alone.
Neither really
God is the correct answer
Self is a distant second
Government/Corporations/Banks/Unions
ANY large Incorporated Self
can suck eggs
Hey There,
you found me out.
I promise, this isn’t a music Thread.
I agree that God is the answer.
But in the meantime, there needs to be a process for replacing the State in order to take the first steps.
Like the frog in a pot of water being brought to a slow boil, the dumb sheeple don’t even realize they are being slowly killed. They are more concerned with the Kardashians than the Clintons.
The fact is.
The Anti-Government music of the 60s and 70s can be used against the progressives today.
And it will resonate.
I talk about this Daily at work
Love the LORD THY GOD
Love Thy Neighbor as Thyself
Be Kind One to Another, tenderhearted, forgiving
Do Justly, Love Mercy, Walk Humbly
Cease to put your trust in Earthly Institutions
Cease to give your Love to Mammon
It is a Very Personal Effort, a few Hearts are turned
BTW,
You should lobby to change Wisconsin’s state Motto.
It should be:
“More lakes than Minnesota”
“Less cheese than California”
