1/ Today is an important lesson for the entire world, but particularly for people in Canada. It has to do with understanding the usefulness, or lack thereof, of an activity commonly known as protesting. People don't usually think of it this way or are even aware of that, but ..

2/ protests were always one of the tools that the ruling elite could utilize for their own benefit. The ability to protest gives the people the illusion of power to influence a change, it keeps them hopeful that their situation, or the situation of others, can be improved by ..

3/ the act of protesting. It also blows off a little steam, as the bad energy and frustrations can be acted out on a public display, for everyone to see. Protesting can also be used in many other ways, for example for shifting the attention away from something important to ..

4/ a distraction, all to alter the public focus. What people don't recognize is that a perceived success or failure of protesting lays ultimately in the hands of the government, their goals, and the narrative of the political agenda that is present during that time.

5/ If the ruling elite is focused on keeping the balance, stability, increasing wealth, economic growth, etc., then a slight change and direction in socio-politics can be allowed to occur or the focus and direction of funds can be transferred from one place to another.

6/ This keeps everyone happy in the end, and only with relatively short periods of social unrest from certain groups of people. But if the ruling elite is focused on creating chaos, fear, division, panic while planning to introduce the big changes in ..

7/ society (or wage war), protesting and dissent becomes a burden for them. That is why they started issuing fines and making protests illegal in many places around the world. In other places, they just decided to ignore protesters altogether, which has been happening for ..

8/ months now with a periodical use of police force to scare and discourage them further from voicing and promoting acts of disobedience. As you can see, protesting in a current political climate doesn't work, cannot work, and will never work. It will never change the ..

9/ narrative, as the elites are focused on fundamentally transforming the society, changing human way of life and the way we interact with each other. Of course, a smooth transition would be a perfect solution for them, this means that they would happily accept every single ..

10/ person and entire society acting as sheep which is following the herd without questioning anything. But in reality, this is never the case, and there are always dissenters who see through the false narrative, deception, and the web of lies. At the present time, they have ..

11/ a limited way of dealing with protests and dissent as the appearance of freedom, liberty and democracy need to be upheld for the time being, right until both, mass surveillance and digital enslavement are implemented in place. Is there any good news in all of that? There are.

12/ Although the protests themselves and civil disobedience will not change anything, both are absolutely necessary to keep the dissenting voices alive as long as possible. Even though I arrived at the conclusion early, others need to experience that for themselves, it will be ..

13/ a process for them, which will lead them to an inevitable realization that what they are doing right now will simply not be enough. Protesting also increases the social bond with like-minded people, as they will keep talking among themselves knowing they are not alone in ..

14/ this battle. It also contributes to the creation of the feeling of unity (or later, unity in action) when working towards the same cause. But beware, there is a danger in all of that. Protesters might start losing hope, energy and start feeling despair when they realize ..

15/ that their actions against the madness and tyranny are proven to be fruitless. It may lead to hopelessness and the perception that there is no way out of the situation. They might start getting tired and defeated… this is why everyone needs to be presented and confronted ..

16/ with reality beforehand, so they understand that there is always another way. The way in which our species has always dealt with enemies and adversaries in the past, but mainly among themselves. This is the hardest part to acknowledge and to convince yourself and ..

17/ others of, essentially to do what you never thought you will be forced to do, to save yourself, your family, or your society. The delusion from some of the good guys is understandable and acceptable for now, as there is always hope that the enemy will somehow lose control, ..

18/ expose their true agenda and ultimately destroy itself while lending you the keys to their own prison. But when exactly has that ever happened before, peacefully and without any great struggle? Always keep that in the back of your mind…

19/ The contents of this thread are part of what I wrote in one of my articles on my substack last December.

21/ Very important thread about the difference between violent or nonviolent civil resistance, when one should be used over the other, their successes (or lack thereof) and utility at different times and circumstances.

26/ How much would you be willing to sacrifice for freedom? And in what way, preferably? How far would you be willing to go? And what if I told you that you don’t need to put your life at substantial risk to achieve that?
