It's the sort of thing that really pisses me off. When I'm drunk and think about it, my friends usually get to hear a lot about it. It keeps me awake at night. Parliamentary democracy stinks. Everybody loves democracy. Why? Because they think they can change things. They think that they are a part of a community. That's bullshit and all of you knows it. The masses are ignorant and they love it. They swallow every piece of information they get. But they won't put it together and understand it. They are apathetic and satisfied, because they believe that just because you got all the information you need you are enlightened and capable of making good decisions. The most dangerous thing is that our governments are actually "educating" their citizens to be democratic in thought, and suck in all information they get. This education makes the citizens lazy. Because if you believe that you can change something if you really want to - you probably won't. The lawn must be mowed. Wife has to be fucked. Why worry about national debt and mind-control when you can watch Oprah? There will be no revolution. So all you revolutionists out there - give it up and get a life! This system has locked itself in a slowly suffocating grip. It will take perhaps 100-150 years before things will start to change in Europe and the USA (if nothing really extraordinary happens (like an alien invasion or something.)) Just look at how we are represented in the senate/congress. In order to get represented you have to vote for one political party and hope that they won't fuck their policies totally, once elected. When one of these parties assumes power, the other tries to fuck it up as much they can; THEY NEVER COOPERATE WITH EACH OTHER! This way things stay pretty much the same no matter how you vote. It is pretty obvious, don't you think? Anyway, another thing that worries me is the anti-intellectual influences in our communities. The general idea seems to be that it's quite ok to discuss things with other intellectuals, or write stuff. But it is not okay to disturb the masses! The governments have several useful tools to achieve total control over us. One of them being free speech and television. Right, free speech is a good thing. But not when controlled by the government or VERY large companies. Think about it, how do we canalize our thoughts and ideas to other people? That's right! Mostly through the TV and the radio. And who controls the flow of "information?" Yeah! You are catching on now I notice! Now to the final question - why is there no debate whether we should actually have parliamentary democracy or not? It is pretty obvious, don't you think? written by Joseph --------------------------------------------------------------------------- uXu #333 Underground eXperts United 1996 uXu #333 Call UNEARTHLY SHADOWS -> +1-303-683-1443 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
