The revolution of non-participation

[galileoreloaded]

Been wanting to write this for a while now, so here goes....

Poor, broke, no job and less prospects? Wanna stir up some shit? Effective revolutionary principals and success lie in non-participation.

Now, what does that look like you ask? Well, like this:

A. You lose your job, don't get another. (at least not one that doesn't exist purely in a cash world)
B. Sign up for every Government and non-profit program you can think of.(WIC, Medicaid, Cash Assistance) The goal is to extract what you input by a factor of 10.
C. Learn to live frugally, by deleveraging your life and living without bank accounts, credit, etc. It CAN be done, and easily. You are just so tied to the "norm" and it's system that it isn't readily apparent. There is a whole world of cash payments out there. Learn to love the USPS Money Order and utility company kiosks.
D. Get a job that either pays cash, or 2 small jobs (one that keeps you within Medicaid and WIC limits, and the other in cash that pays the other bills)
F. F is for fuck it. There are no jobs being created now, nor will there be. We don't need roads across Utah like in the 1930's, this depression is one of excess. Excess workers. Excess debt.
G. Get ready for the most intense and brutish sort of Free-Market there is, as China cheap labor and the accelerating loss of the rule of law, and increasing lawlessness take root.

In my area, the sixth largest city in the country, we are gong to lay off cops and firemen. Not a scare tactic by our Dem mayor, it will happen. I will very soon be forced to resort to working for cash, and being forced to follow my own 6 part plan. When this happens, I will not feel one iota of remorse, as there exists no solution to my malaise in the political realm, and the physical shall rule my world. You think I am scared of the tax man??? I am scared of hunger, and maintaining a basal existence. The citizen has reverted to the predator.

But, my friends, I will, at the end of the day, enjoy my $5.00 copays and free nutrition, as well as not worry so much about others at the corporate and gov. levels, as others have not worried about me. I am gonna hit the fucking reset button for myself while I am still healthy and able, and encourage others to do the same. Why in the hell would I KILL myself via stress and overwork, to pay what they say I owe to a corrupted system of corporate and public governance.

You can try to imprison a movement, but fuck it, I am on strike. And this is a goddamned free for all. Who's with me.

2. Lame douchebaggery.

I am an adult. I will always strive to work. I will always strive to contribute more than I receive.

I may not always succeed, and there may be periods where I cannot work as I wish, but I will never give in and lower myself to the status of one who takes more than he gives as long as I can avoid it.

3. Reading comprehension is not your strong suit, but thats ok.

Let me help. I didn't say I won't work, I said I won't kill myself to feed a corrupt master. Big difference there sparky.

4. "The goal is to extract what you input by a factor of 10."

Pathetic.

6. So, your position is that people who are eligible for programs and trying to survive

are somehow ineligible for said programs because.....I guess because you like to "work hard"???

Read that again and tell me that makes sense.

Better yet, toss me on ignore and head back to your gated community and get a "GED for Dummies" study session in.

ETA: Seriously, reading comprehension should NOT be listed in the skills portion of your resume.

12. I think we know why you don't have a job

Who would want to work with someone like you who resorts to constant petty personal attacks.

7. Mods, can you leave this personal attack and name calling in place. I will handle it personally

with all due respect. Deflecting personal attacks is one of my "gold-star" skills!

5. I'm doing everything except B.

And I have been for a while now.

9. +1 -- B isn't necessary, leave it for families with children who truly need it. nt

8. If we could all get thrown in jail, they'd have to cover our healthcare

10. But see, they won't throw us in jail, that is my point.

we live in a lawless society for the most part. Think about it. If your car tags are paid, and it is in good repair and you don't speed much, do you get pulled over?? With a body in the trunk? What does it cost to keep a car up vs. the profit (hyperbolic) of having or putting a body in your trunk.

Fake that, hide in plain site, then my friend this world where politicians pretend to make laws and we pretend to follow them, gets very easy to move about in.

11. 'Hide in plain sight'

No truer words

It's what we all do anyway - we're invisible to them from the start
