Top 5 Ways to Practice Non-Conformity in the Matrix
As we grow, we learn how to play and interact with others, and we learn how others react to us. We begin to develop an understanding of which behavior is acceptable and which is not, and if we are paying attention, we realize that there is a subtle system of rewards and punishments involved in social interaction. Adherence to this system is what keeps society together, and depending on what rewards and punishments appeal to us, we choose which ideas and behaviors to conform to and comply with. As a result, different societal roles become open to us.

1. Monetary Non-conformity – The human race is enslaved to a corrupt and inflationary monetary system. To act as a balance to this, any opportunity to conduct life without using the dollar and the credit system is a stunning act of non-conformity. By practicing trade, barter and local exchange, and using alternative currencies whenever possible, a practical statement is made in support of an alternative to central bank tyranny and manipulation. Most important, however, is the simple decision to spend less overall and live without consumer debt.

2. Shun the Materialistic and the Entertainment Driven Lifestyle – The consumption of consumer goods in our world has grown to dangerous proportions, and no matter your political bent, you can’t deny the existence of the plastic ocean gaining mass in the Pacific. To be realistic about one’s true needs and to consume less “stuff” makes one stand out as a non-conformist in today’s culture. Much of this consumerism is part of a lifestyle of entertainment that we have developed in recent decades. We seem to value being entertained more than anything else, and we will do anything, and incur any debt, in order to get that which entertains and distracts us. Choosing a non-consumeristic, non-entertainment driven lifestyle is an important act of disobedience to the norm.

3. Health Rebel – The truth about the condition of American health is ugly, and clearly something is wrong with the conformist ideas of diet and health. From horse meat, to high-fructose corn syrup, to GMOs, the conformist diet is deathly harmful to our well-being. To continue on with this unhealthy lifestyle is self-destructive, and to buck this trend simply means to take care of yourself properly, as we all should be doing anyways. Taking care of the body is easy and enjoyable, and each step towards health brings with it a renewed outlook on life. Taking control of diet, finding some enjoyable type of exercise, and being courageous enough to try out alternative, non-pharmaceutical modalities of healing when possible, are, oddly enough, all one has to do in order to stand out as a health non-conformist.

It's certainly a good start.

I would love to be able to end all wars and poverty but I'm realistic enough to know I would require a huge amount of wealth or power to stand a chance. That would mean becoming one of them which I could never do.

Instead I feed the system as little as possible so I know that little of my money goes into the systems designed to create the World we live in.

Be the change you want the World to be!

Re: Top 5 Ways to Practice Non-Conformity in the Matrix
In 08 during the bailouts I got laid off and the value of my home went under my mortgage. This is what I did.

I paid off my college loans with credit cards. I sold everything to my mom for "cheap". Went on a big shopping spree. Then I walked away from everything and filed bankruptcy.

I cancelled cable. I have boycotted everything MSM. I always boycotted the jew reparation tax on most items indicated by the small 'Ui' label. And now I pay cash for everything. As soon as my BK was finished and I had a well deserved vacation using up my unemployment that I paid into for years I went and got another job. I also cashed in my investments and bought durable assets.

Today I am 100% debt free. I'm netting $12k a month. And I paid cash for some land where I won't be bothered.

Being a nonconformist is one way to get in trouble. It takes intestinal fortitude to go against the herd. I have recently become intensely sick to death of the way people are these days. I am definitely noticing an uptick in sentiment like this. All the genuine human beings that come here are feeling the same way. Ready for significant change and a return to solidarity.

Get rid of your TV. It will free up a lot of time and unclog your mind from the garbage that is being broadcasted around the clock. It saves money, too. You will be able to feel yourself more.

Re: Top 5 Ways to Practice Non-Conformity in the Matrix
Ignore all holidays. Yep. All of them. They are heavily advertised to promote consumerism. People go into debt around holkiday time. Screw the holidays and the don't feel guilty about it. Realize that everyone has been programmed towards having to give gifts. People are repremanding each other if gifts are not given due to holiday occasions. You have to de-program yourself from that non-sense. Ignore Easter, Valentine's Day, Thanksgiving, X-mas, Mother's day, Father's Day.
You can honor your mother and father on your clock and your way and make people happy how and when you want. Step out of the program. That will be a nice way to mess things up if many realize it and stop following the holiday herd mentality.
