We Are Done Being Used and We Are Not For Sale

We The People can’t be bought and our resolve never bends. Plutocracy and fascism and planetary destruction are over. WE won’t be doing it—and the “leaders” don’t do anything so it’s over.

We The People don’t need to take orders from fools and demons.

Let me repeat that.

We The People don’t need to take orders from fools and demons.

Yes, I know fascists and plutocrats and other elites have power and authority, and they have people with guns that threaten us. I know that.

We have something, too. We do all the work. We produce food and private jets and we extract and refine oil. We build mansions and operate restaurants and resorts.

The “powerful people” do none of that. They are 100 percent dependent on the DOERS. That is, on US.

When we stop, they are done. We know this. We forget this. We are intimidated. Let’s remember, and decide to exercise the power we have. Because ALL of the power to create and to DO THINGS is ours.

All our opponents have is fear and lies and threats…and our loved ones acting as enforcers until we talk with our loved ones and say: don’t work for cruel people, for those who abuse ordinary people, for those who abuse YOUR loved ones, and for those who would be happy to abuse YOU.

We can tell our loved ones in the police force, in ICE, in DHS, in the military, in the National Guard: don’t “follow orders” like Nazis did…or you will end up like the Nazis. On trial at Nuremberg on the Potomac. You WILL be held accountable.

And our loved ones will side with US. When the order comes to shoot at US, our loved ones will put down their guns.

We Won’t Restore the “Before”

What’s going on today, the threats and fear and lies and abuse—we will end all of that and banish the leaders of this shitshow. They will be held accountable.

But we won’t return to the previos shitshow either. It was less bad, but it was still unacceptable.

We have short limited lives. The old (and current) way is to waste those lives serving elites, working in factories and in cubicles. How stupid and unnecessary is that? What do you produce? Mostly mountains of crappy commodities that we are taught to “need.” And the real driving force is to produce wealth so the nonworking and morally bankrupt elites can live in idle luxury.

We get enough to survive one more day. If we are “lucky.”

To this, we say a resounding and uncompromising NO.

What’ll We Do Instead?

Instead, we will produce what Nature requires of us to live and to be healthy. We will produce nutritious and tasty food, we will produce medicine, we will produce shelter.

We won’t work for elites. We will work for ourselves and for each other. We will make what’s needed and share with those who need it.

There will be no companies and no money. There will be no countries with armies and guns and bombs.

There will be no plutocrats or communist parties or other institutions intent on exercising and abusing power.

Life is too short to waste on those things—and those things have no value whatsoever anyway.

We will take care of the planet that sustains us, stop extracting and refining and burning fossil fuels.

Indeed, we “needed” large quantities of fossil fuels only to produce those mountains of crap and to take care of the greedy elites in the style to which they’ve become accustomed.

That is SO over.

Instead, after spending maybe 10% of our time doing ONLY useful work, we will live fully as human beings. That’s something that hasn’t been available to us since at least the start of the industrial revolution, if ever.

We will spend time with family and friends. We will tell stories and jokes. We will express ourselves in art and music. We will contemplate the universe. We will study science. We will walk in Nature. We will pet our dogs.

We will still be subject to all the challenges of human existence. We will still sometimes feel sadness and in the end, we will all still die. But life will not be worsened by the extreme form of human folly we are living with today.

All this happens as we slowly and subtly remove our complicity in our own abuse. We sabotage corporations and governments and the ultra-wealthy and all the systems that support them. We don’t attack because that’s the wrong way, the way that fails.

We stop helping. We call in sick. We make mistakes. We stop repeating their narratives and ignore their storytelling lackeys. Instead, we tell and re-tell OUR narrative—about what will do and what our new world will look like.

Look around. The People are rising up in the United States and everywhere. It’s not always in the news—but it’s in the streets. It is happening. Join in. This is our time, our historic moment. Future generations will remember and celebrate what will accomplish.

Save our planet. Save our children. Save humanity and end insanity.
