Why people aren't getting off their duffs and doing anything to oppose the evils within our government. In short.
Basically, we're all screwed because we were conditioned to accept that the MLK/Ghandi/Mandela/Hippie methods of opposition are the only acceptable, civil ways to oppose the government. Now, any effort to try a different method is hamstrung by the groups that elevate to sainthood those individuals devoted to hippie-esque opposition, as these groups shout down and demonize the ones that don't want to try the same old hippie-esque methods that have largely been failures.

Also, no one can get the ball rolling with their own methods easily because people have been conditioned to listen only to "authorities" of some kind (who only encourage doing things the same, fail-ridden ways). Even with those who don't trust the "authorities", they do not want to be participants in something that will be attacked by the holier-than-thou hippie mentality that's pervasive throughout the media, universities, and government.

Through our lack of collaboration, corrosion of society and morality, combined with everyone living paycheck to paycheck - completely reliant on others (thus conformant as to not offend) - we've become atomized. Cattle.

Currently, our best idea to oppose those who maliciously destroy us and what we hold dear, is to get out in the street, hold a sign and whine. Oooh yeah, that'll show 'em. That's why nothing will get better. We're spineless cattle. Moo away.

My best method is not supporting them. Not buying their stuff, not eating their food, not watching their TV, speaking with others who are ready to be awakened.

 Quoting: Cloud Hidden


I wasn't alive then, so I can't say for sure. I don't believe much of anything portrayed in the media anymore...so, I have my doubts about it. I'm sure people were peaceful and non-violent and the system cracked down on them violently and unjustly for demanding their rights. I'm sure it made people sick to see what kind of oppression faced their black brothers. Most in the movement were genuine.

I'm not sure if the government's acquiescence was real acquiescence though,, or if it was them all along setting the scene and performing the play.

If there's one rabbit hole, there are probably many more.

It's a given that the civil rights movement was infiltrated by our government. Infiltration is tactic #1 when you want to spy or subvert.

It's possible that Malcolm X was really the guy that blacks should have followed, but the government didn't want the violence that came along with Malcolm's methods, so they created a peaceful alternative for people to use instead. Then they gave in finally, at their own time, on their own terms. I don't know if that's true, but....I do know that infiltration and the creation of controlled opposition is the tried-and-true way to get the upper hand.

True. People aren't done filling their 401k's, just x years away from retirement and they've still got that mortgage to pay. They don't want the IRS targeting them and ruining all their plans. They don't want to be featured in an article or broadcast where they'll be demonized.

Here, TV is truth. Money is god.

In those countries, people don't have any illusions about how screwed they are. All they get is fascist governments created to use them as slaves and a fascist religion created to imprison them.

That's kinda what I was saying too. I think MLK could have just been a plant to tap on the brakes. Get more people devoted to non-violence, pestering their friends to be the same, have it popularized on tv, and the more violent opposition will be hamstrung. The non-violent movement probably formed organically, but if it did, it wouldn't take long to be inflitrated or out-popularized by another "leader" featured in the media.

True.

And to clarify, I am not advocating violence at all, nor am I saying the hippie non-violent way isn't the right way to go in some instances. Violence would probably be the worst idea. None of us have any kind of power through weaponry or technology to challenge even 1 well-equipped soldier. Anyone that resorts to violence these days can be easily defeated.

There are other ways to do things though.
Holding a sign and whining will do nothing.
Lying in the street will do nothing.
We (the US) are the glue holding this world together in some sort of order. To challenge that is to challenge every nation that benefits or is a hopeless slave to our country.

Not money should decide what's money worth. Give the right to decide what to pay or not into the hand of the people and do not let that decision make by a delegate of the money system, a judge for instance.

Only if people control the money people is free of fearing aberrant laws.

Its only foreign "corporate" policy these days.... They make everyone their "corprate" entities.... Like good old Australia... No offence, but "you government" are almost all chipped from what I can see....

a bunch of nonkeys.... just like ours, but our Government is now just employees, we don't even "vote" really, its all just a masquerade.... but its hard to try and tell people anything, not because they are stupid, its because they are infected.....

Cancer can only grow, because it pretends it is a healthy cell, but it isn't, so the coppers don't know that they are filthy infection....

So basically, Once the immune system, or the coppers, know that a cell is an infection, they can then get rif of them....

and generally, infected cells can heal, once the main infection is removed... The host can only survive under cover... once it has been brought out into the light, it fizzles like a vampire.....

Nice provocation, NSA fluffer. We can trade blows. Not your way though. I'm not a bundle of sticks.

Answer these questions, coward:
If others do not join alternative efforts, what chance do the alternative efforts have?

If people do not know about alternative efforts, what chance is there that they'll join them?

If "armchair warriors" have the information about alternative efforts, and how the current efforts are flawed, and they want to let the "others" have access to the same information, how does that happen without transmission of that information from "armchair warrior" to "other"?

If what I want is my country and my rights back, and I'm trying to get others to see how that can be achieved for us all, how exactly does that make me the same as fascist, crooked politicians?

You sound like some form of coward, fluffer. Most likely of the Dem bundle variety. Stop snorting Ajax, and you might be able to make sensible posts.

First off, that's a stupid thing to say. I am not racist. You're playing the race card, which is usually reserved for use by leftists (morons). I've read enough of your posts to know you are not a moron, so I'm kinda wondering where your accusation came from...

Secondly, you sound incapable of believing either of the two theories posted. That's either because you lived through that era and believe you witnessed enough of it to "know" the theories to be false, or you just can't accept it for emotional reasons, or because you don't believe people can be manipulated en masse by the government.

We are on a conspiracy website, so I assume you've considered this question: How far back has there been a roadmap for where we find ourselves, who is it controlling the visible powers that be and implementing the plan, and how long have they been able to implement the plan?

If you think that there has been some concerted effort to implement any grand plan by whoever "they" are in the pre-civil rights era, then you probably want to rethink your kneejerk opposition to the possibility that one of the two theories may be correct.

If you don't think it was possible in the pre-civil rights era to manipulate society, then please explain why you think that.
