Ever since the farmers’ protest, I’ve seen all sorts of similar initiatives. Various people wanting to protest for various reasons. It’s somewhat sad that people truly believe they have the power to change something through this method.
I was one of them a few years ago.
The last protest I attended was on August 10, 2018.
Following that “protest,” I realized several things that made me better understand how things work.
Protests, voting, are just illusions meant to give the population the idea that they can control the system.
But they will never work.
If they did, they wouldn’t let you do them.
And this applies generally. All methods through which you could exert control over the system are either illegal or very well restricted. From simple Facebook posts to firearms.
Everything is set up in favor of the system.
On August 10, 2018, the police searched the entrances to the square. However, football hooligans entered the crowd with fireworks and smoke grenades.
When the crowd started demonstrating unity, ambition, and courage, the hooligans “attacked” the gendarmes (who were not just gendarmes), giving them a reason to disperse the crowd with gas, water cannons, rubber bullets, and brute force.
The system made sure people wouldn’t unite and wouldn’t have the opportunity to exert control over it by creating a violent situation, motivating a repression from law enforcement. By gassing and hitting women and children, they ensured that a significant portion of those present would never have the courage and intention to protest against the system again. It was a well-orchestrated operation by the system to protect its power and keep the masses under control.
After years, a few individuals were scapegoats to show that the system “administers justice” for those violent acts and to “appease” the common people.
But the system can do all of this because people allow it.
Because people are weak.
We have weak men who can’t lead their own families.
We have weak women who can’t properly educate their children.
We have weak young people growing up without principles and values.
We lack the discipline to educate ourselves and take care of ourselves, but we believe we can take care of others.
Until that changes, we have no chance of getting out of the situation we’re in.
We need to “fix” ourselves.
We need to educate ourselves. Learn how the world around us operates.
We need to raise our children with principles and values and teach them their responsibilities.
Because today’s youth shy away from politics. However, they have no idea that they are practically giving up on their future. They have no idea what responsibility means.
And the few who know and are aware of what’s happening are often ignored and mislabeled.
We all need to be as strong and educated as possible.
Because no one should be able to fool you.
What you tolerate, the system will accentuate.
Don’t tolerate it anymore.
Don’t let other people tell you how to live.
Dangerous freedom, not comfortable slavery.
“And lying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willing to trade all the days, all the days from today to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they will never take our freedom?”
All of you should be strong and educated, and possess all the necessary skills to be independent, so that no one can ever tell you what to do.
If we men are not strong in our own homes, if we don’t lead our families, if we’re not disciplined, if we don’t have principles and values, we have no chance of changing the world for the better.
Be strong where you are.
You can’t fix something bigger than you until you fix yourself first.
