Why do you think some people should have rights that you and I don't have?

in freedom •  7 years ago  (edited)

Why do people think that a group of people (the government) should have rights that you and I don't have?

I think it stems from people being really insecure and not loving themselves.

Plus the fact that government has been in our lives for so long, people just can't fathom any other way of living even though there are plenty of ways to live without government.

People have been taught their entire life that their parents, teachers, religion and government are there to control them and they don't even think to question why?

Or to question their slave status.

This is actually not abnormal.

This is what happened during the time of slavehood with the blacks, and many people grow to love and worship their masters because the pain it would cause them to ADMIT that they are slaves and not FREE, is too much for them to bare.

I'm of the belief that government shouldn't exist.

It first started off as a thought back around 1993 as some bell went off in my head that something just wasn't right with this scenario.

I pushed it out of my mind until someone online back in 2011 brought up the notion that I sound like I don't believe in government.

That's when I started doing a bit of investigating.

Life consumed me, and it wasn't until around 2-3 years ago that I started REALLY researching what was going on in the world and became a full-blown truth seeker and activist to help educate others.

Ask yourself this...

Why are you giving someone else permission to do to me what you wouldn't dare do to me?

What makes John Smith more special than you?

What makes him have more value than myself or yourself?

Why do you think they should have power over you or me?

Why do you feel the need to have someone else control your every thought, move, decision and act in life even if it's not harming anyone?

I think those are the first few questions people need to ask themselves.

Government = corruption. You can NEVER EVER vote in a government that won't be corrupt. Show me a time when there hasn't been corruption in a government.

If I can't do XYZ then no one else should have special privileges that you or I don't have. Privileges such as:

  1. Throw you in jail, which is nothing more than legal kidnapping & confinement.
  2. Take your money from you in the form of taxes, which in the US isn't legal by the way.

Did you know that?

It's still up in the air whether they actually passed a law in 1913 that we have to pay income tax.

  1. Forcing you to buy a license, otherwise, you can't start a business, sell a service, etc.
  2. Stop you from speaking the truth, or speaking out against XYZ, otherwise, you are detained, beaten, you will be fined or thrown in jail.

This is only just a few reasons why the government is immoral.

And this is why there's so much corruption in government, because people decided to give other people (generally socio & psychopaths) powers we ourselves don't have.

People give their power away either with their silence, by voting, by supporting specific people within the government, and overall by constantly beating their head against the wall by trying to pass MORE laws.

All of these laws just keep us prisoners in our invisible cages.

It keeps people living in fear.

Instead of following the rules of nature, people worship other men and women and allow THEM to control what we can think, say, or do.

And after people support these corrupt people in government, they act all SHOCKED when said politician doesn't do what they promised they would do LOL

This is called INSANITY...

"Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."

It's a known scientific and commonsensical fact that the more power someone has, the more it goes to their head.

Their EGO gets inflated.

The more people start worshipping them, the more they start to feel like they have the power to control others.

It's not even a feeling, it's a blatant FACT that they CAN control others because subservient people allow themselves to be controlled and brainwashed.

In fact, this is why so many rabbis, priests, and ministers behave this way.

They are in a position of power so instead of people turning to themselves for guidance, to themselves and the energetic Univers for love, they turn to some man on a pulpit who loves the attention and glory when people worship him.

NEVER give power to someone else. Learn how to love and trust yourself.

I know it's not easy if you've been beholden to others your entire life, but if you want freedom, you need to learn HOW to let go of your slave status.

Government is NOT the answer to your problems in life.

Government is also the entity that protects these EVIL CORPS. They've been doing it ever since a government was created, and many say that's why the government was created in the first place.

It certainly wasn't created for US - the People.

You can see this clear as day if you look at all the CEOs of EVIL CORPS who get away with things that, once again, you and I CAN'T get away with, like:

  1. Poisoning people
  2. Beating up people.
  3. Killing people
  4. Threatening people, and the list goes on.

I wrote this article not to scare you, but rather to make a point.

Own YOURSELF.
It's time to grow up and take responsibility for yourself and your life.
You can get help, it's not too late, I don't care how old you are.
Understand that we THE PEOPLE are in this together.

Thank you for listening.

That is something common (right?/worng?) in democracy. When you become the part of it, whether you use your right to vote them or no, you must receive their political power. It was assumed that everyone is give their partial political power by use their right to vote (and also to be voted). In my point of view, democracy is the best of the worst political system that available...
Hehehehehehehe...

@gayocoffee2 - the idea is to not have ANY political system. To create communities where we work & solve problems in a synergistic respectful manner.

I couldn't agree more with you on everything you've written here. I couldn't believe this is on day 6 and at 0.00 - this post deserves much more. I dropped it in the promotional section of discord and I will resteem! I hope it bring you some last minutes votes :)

Oh thank you.

Yeh I've posted more & wasn't getting any responses LOL

I'd ask how you drop an article in Discord, but that may take another week for me to learn LOL

So once the week it's over right? You can't get any more votes?

Thanks a ton : )

you're welcome and yeah - 7 day limit on posts to collect a payout (unfortunately) - dropping a link is just copying the web address and pasting it lol don't worry not complicated at all ;-)

@amariespeaks - so I should do this for all of my articles?

Yes, but where do I drop the link on Discord? : )

Thanks

oh sure - I will send you the invite in our discord chat :) and also use the tag #newbieresteemday on your posts - our curation team usually keeps an eye on that tag

@amariespeaks - you mean just at the bottom of my posts?

Got an upvote from me. You can really change the look of your post using the markdown features also your tags have the ability to make or break a post. If you are interested hit me up and i can show you busy.org
It really makes using the markdown features more easy to use. Also the use of dividers makes your post more visually appealing. Your content is good and I to hate the government for the most part but when it looks like a run on sentence I start to loose intrest halfway through. Steemians have an attention span measured in nanoseconds. Hope this helps.

@doomsdaychassis - thank you & I tried to use the emojis once & they didn't work.

I left Steemit, came back, left again. I'm TRYING to love it, but with all the issues like I can't even upvote what you said, I get frustrated. https://www.awesomescreenshot.com/image/3351013/e4d453f797731c8db869de4cfdf3bc36

I followed you, do I need to add you to Discord in order to talk?

I would love some suggestions & tutorials.

This white on WHITE thing is no good.

Thanks again

tim cliff created this/your account, why didn't you get delegated say 15 SP so you can get better bandwidth?

@dj123 - he had to create it under him b/c I couldn't get mine to work : (

I tried to use an online texting site since I'm overseas right now & so I don't have a US cell phone & it didn't work.

I didn't even know that I wasn't approved until a year later : (

When I tried a second time it still didn't work & I had no idea why & I was quite turned off by all of this.

I even hunted high & low in SM FB groups to get someone to help me & they finally gave me the URL to the help area since it's nowhere to be found on this site/page : (

Tim wasn't even able to explain to me why I couldn't vote. He kept telling me there was something wrong with my computer, browser (Chrome), etc.

I finally said forget this & left again.

I'm not a newb to computers or the internet. I knew there was nothing wrong with my computer.

FINALLY someone told me that I had no steem power, but of course I had no idea what that was & how to get some & I didn't want to spend money on this site.

Tim didn't give me anything, but I'm at least greatful he got me the account.

This is why I haven't been getting people to sign up to SM was because of ALL the issues I've been having.

what country are from you, with a simple sim card you can signup and get a free 14.5 SP delegation for free from @Steem

that's how most of us got our accounts

@dj123 - You mean Steemit gives you money to start off with?

Yeh, but I don't want to get a new account. I need this user name since it matches my site & all my other groups, etc. : )

Thanks for the suggestion.

Do people have more than one account?

Just wondering since I'm used to FB where I can have different groups for different things like Health, Freedom, Farming, etc.

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

Yeah they do, at one time 50 Steem, then 30 Steem, by mid last year they were giving 5 SP, then 8 months ago 0.5 Steem and 27 SP, I think now it's 0.1 Steem and 14.5 SP.

Someday when Steem is $50, a new account would get 0.01 to 0.05 Steem and 5SP at best.

@dj123 - so I got nothing b/c he put it under his account? : (

Oh well, what can I do.

What's the difference between Steem & SP? You mean Steem dollars?

$50 per $1 USD?

It is all about patience. Once you get rolling you will be fine. In all honesty I ended up just dumping some real money into here so i would not have bandwidth issues and had some vote power to swing around. It really took off after that. I will be more than happy to help you out. You can pick up quite a bit by clicking on the Markdown Styling Guide link that is right above the post preview box. It will open up in a new window.

@doomsdaychassis - yeh I don't have money to dump into a site.

I did try to use the markdown guide (I think) one day & tried to copy the emoji codes into my post & they never showed up.

I gave up.

I'll add you on Discord.

Thanks

@doomsdaychassis - is your handle there different than on here b/c it's not finding you.

you can add me on discord or we can talk here. I have no issue responding on posts. Either way is good. Or you can join discord groups like newbieresteemday and stuff like that. All options are on the table. you choose your poison.

@doomsdaychassis - btw, I did a search in the 2 spots I saw on Discord & it couldn't find newbieresteemday just so you know.

you can catchup with doomy in the @comedyopenmic discord server, he hangs out there: https://discord.gg/uy8KTds

oh yeah...you should be able to upvote now.

Very good write up, would fit right in with @IFC round on freedom, I found you from a link drop in "TheHive" Discord room. I am glad she left the link. You made some very good points.

@bashadow - thanks. I followed IFC.

Hopefully I'll start reading on here soon.

I'm STILL trying to learn not just the platform, but Discord too. I STILL can't get the ginabot paid LOL

I forgot how I got gina bot to work, I know I had to send some money, and then go to the dicord and register, and then they sent the money back. If you want a good just steemit only notifications steemworld.org works real good - https://steemworld.org/@ourfreesociety that would be you. The mentions do not include the Discord mentions, but will let you know when people type " @ourfreesociety" in any post or comment. Plus @steemchiller is real quick at responding to people when they have issues with the app, and he has a damn fine looking front end to it all very well organized if you have not seen it.

Another - very important account to look into is the @dustsweeper account. As a new user a lot of your interactions may be with redfish/minnows. What was recently made almost wide knowledge is the dust vote level, that is if a post or a comment does not reach or exceeded $0.020 then that vote and all associated actions with it is nullified. No payout, no curation reward. @dustsweeper is an account to try and boost those redfish and minnow less than a penny votes to a meaningful level, something to look into. @davemccoy and @danielsaori are people that are well trusted and respected. So basically, you buy 71 upvotes of dust level votes on your account for 1 SBD. I am not sure if they follow your votes and boost them or not, but still when getting a lot of small votes now they will count for something.

@bashadow - Ok, so I have to figure out how to get 1SBD into my account I guess. And I don't think I'm getting any money from these things b/c I had no idea you had to have a min. amount.

How do you know when someone is a whale or redfish, etc.?

I finally got the Discord working for SM LOL

So I don't need the steemworld site then right?

Thanks

Looks like you do have 1 SBD, in fact a little over 5 SBD's:
STEEM DOLLARS = $5.460 <----- that's your SBD balance.
A redfish is an account with less than 1000 SP
A minnow is between 1,000 and less than 10,000 SP
A dolphin is 10,000 and less than 100,000 SP
An Orca is 100,000 to 1,000,000 SP
a Whale is over 1,000,000 SP I think those are the levels.
SP = STEEM POWER you have 0.352 STEEM (SP)
No the steemworld site is just a nice tool to see quickly how your vote power level is.

The really nice thing about the @dustsweeper account is that it makes all those initial less than a penny votes actually count. 5 days ago I had a vote that was about a penny @dustsweeper gave that comment an 8,84% vote that raised it to $0.030, so really worth it, otherwise I would have received nothing for the vote, and the individual that cast the vote would have received 0 for curation, so now we both win.

@bashadow - ok, I got confused b/c when I sent 0.001 to the ginabot, it said I only had 0.015 or something. Why did it do that?

Ok, I just tried to send it 1 SBD, but it said the following:

"Each account segment should start with a letter. "

What's that number beside my handle?

Thanks for the list.

Just a few pictures; First where to start the process:

where to start screen.png
This is from the wallet tab, In the STEEM DOLLARS row all the way to the left is where you will see your balance and a small down facing black triangle. clicking on that triangle will open up that smaller window, you want to click on Transfer.

After clicking Transfer this screen window pops up:

In the to box you want to put the name of the person you want to send funds to without using the "@" symbol. Example dustsweeper. In the ammount box you want to type in the amount you want to send Example 1.000 You need to cary it out to 3 decimal places to the right of the ' . ' so you always need a starting number to the left of the dot, and 3 numbers to the right of the dot - - 0.000 - - .The memo box you can put anything there, but everyone will be able to read it.

After filling that box all out you get the are you sure you want to box:


Then the Password entry screen
The password you need is your active key, and that password should start with a number. I have no idea how any of the other wallets work other than the one for moving things around on steemit. The transfer is for when you want to give another steemit account some funds, the transfer to savings is for putting a little bit into a savings account, and the market is to convert the SBD's to steem so you can power it up to STEEM POWER for SP. I hope that helps at least a little bit. For funds from steemit to somewhere else outside of steemit @doomsdaychassis would be better help than I on that.

@bashadow - yes thanks for that.

I did finally figure the transfer out for the ginabot, but I keep getting this error when trying to send to the dust bot.

I did have the @sign in the field, but even once I took it out it's still giving me the error.

It was hard to read your text because the photos are covering them, but I think I had everything in order.

Your SS shows 0.0001 SBD. Is that the amount I'm supposed to send? Not 1.000?

I didn't know about the 3 000's after the decimal, so thanks for that.

Here's a SS of what my transfer looks like - https://www.awesomescreenshot.com/image/3351754/035607b72f5ef9fd9e290f42b31fec30

Thanks again

This would have been a great post for the @ifc's Freedom round!!

@charisma777

I absolutely agree with you my man, our conditioned sleepingwalking is so pervasive that we except countless perversions. Freedom is our birthright, yet it seems that a level of ferociousness is needed in order to claim it (under current conditions). This awareness was initially just a curiosity for me too, and now it is the constant perception of how completely absurd and bizzare most human lives are.

@phillyc - I believe it's been going on for years.

First it started with religion, the crown & then eventually government.

Even most parents think they OWN their children as if they are pieces of property.

And religion has been making a HUGE comeback which is shocking to me.

In the last 2 years (maybe it's just b/c I started on FB & YT & was on them all the time) I've seen people online citing gawd this, jesus that, scripture this, gawd bless you OVER & OVER again so much so that it makes me sick.

And I am NOT talking about me being in religious groups or on religious channels because obviously that's NOT where I hang on.

On all groups that are about all-natural holistic health ,I get it, I get these people showing up on YT channels that are against war, are into freedom, & many others.

I'm a spiritually conscious person & I don't believe in religion or even a gawd.

I do believe in the Universe though & I do believe in the Laws of Nature.

The fact that people are unable to make decisions on their own because they always have to check in with something else to get permission, just shows you the slave mentality that most of society lives under.
