REALITY OF GOV.
Questioning its authority
There comes a time when the reality of government strikes us with its unfortunate horrors, its harsh consequences, its depressing unfairness. In that moment we can't only accept it, do nothing, & hope it changes on its own.
Questioning its authority
There comes a time when the reality of government strikes us with its unfortunate horrors, its harsh consequences, its depressing unfairness. In that moment we can't only accept it, do nothing, & hope it changes on its own.
Instead we must accept the reality, accept that it's happening, its abuses, the injustice, but then question its authority over us, does it still ask for our consent to have that power, to use it? Or does it force us to give it (our consent)? Do they command & force us to follow?
After questioning the authority we ask ourselves, do we want something better than what we are suffering now? Is a stronger, progressive, Democracy possible? If so how do we realistically achieve this? Allow me to stress the importance of this step, here are the facts...
Still thousands, millions of us suffer, not at the hands of Society because that is a blessing, but at the hands of government controlled by an illegitimate ruler and his fellow criminals.
Him and his allies have made it clear that they will not remove him, the failure to remove this Tyrant, the rejection to uphold the Constitution will, in fact, be the death of Democracy, these corrupt actions will mark the end of the Republic.
We would have surely failed because we did not voice our outrage, we showed no physical, sustained opposition, instead we waited. “A Republic, if you can keep it.”, and keep it we did not.
This was part 1 of this thread, more to come.
