Losing my goddamn mind rant (Please tell me how you blow off steam)

lifeworship (66) · 7 years ago

Most people want nothing more than to be slaves who get better crumbs than the rest of the slaves. The more rights the slaves give up, the more responsibilities they think they can abrogate. They mistake freedom from responsibility for freedom itself.

There are too few of us who want to live free of these endless, incessant, and broad spectrum violations of all of our individual natural rights.

I usually blow off steam by finding some profoundly ignorant people, I don't need to look very far, and use the truth to blow their minds. Their confusion is not always very satisfying, but at least I get to practice my arguments.

Occasionally, nothing else will do, but intense physical exercise. It's difficult to be irritable when exhausted. Always remember to breathe.

Yes. This is so true and so well said.

I've seen you do this. I really like this approach. Very cool.

You're right about the exercise, too. Since I've started running, my mind has been a lot clearer/more resolute.

Thanks always for the support and kind words.

This may not work for you, but when I need encouragement to remain resolute in the truth, I read/watch blogs like yours, @richq11, and @stevescoins. There are others, but these are my 'go to' blogs that I use for refreshment of spirit.

I think you may have a much greater positive effect than you know.

Thank you.

I don’t know how it is up in Niigata, but here the tax office is pretty lenient. I usually end up reluctantly paying about three years late, and only because I have to renew my visa. I know some Japanese people who don’t pay at all. Also, I don’t pay for the mandatory social insurance, because I looked into it and found out it’s not actually mandatory for foreigners, although they will tell you it is at city hall. As far as medical insurance, there are companies that offer insurance for foreigners for much cheaper than the national bs plan.

So, if you have a permanent visa (which I don’t yet) and are doing independent work, you should be able to get away with not paying any of that shit.

Dude, I'm with ya man.
I take a break away from the Internet and smoke a doobie, that's my way to distress.
You're right to feel pissed so don't feel bad but please try to stay positive that we'll get there in the end. The blockchain technologies and Cryptocurrencies will whittle away at the 'mans' power and eventually everyone will get it.
Everything you rant about is true and the sheep mentality of the masses is fucking frustrating, the dumbass majority who buy into the Government BS and stand with their hands out waiting to be taken care of by a criminal political system make me sick. I wanna get on the rooftop and shout "Get off your lazy arses morons and do something" but it wouldn't do any good, they're too entwined in the system that will eventually collapse leaving them with Jack shit. I used to pity them but know I despise them for contributing to everyone's misery. See I'm ranting now too! It's therapeutic, I bet you felt better when you finished the video. Deep breath dude, your anger shows you care.

kafkanarchy84 (74) · 7 years ago

Yeah, I did feel better after that rant. Really would love to smoke a doobie sometimes, but the potential 5 years in prison with hard labor and no access to a lawyer makes that prospect somewhat less relaxing. Not because I myself really give a damn, so much, but because I have a family to take care of.

The fact is that the average man's love of liberty is nine-tenths imaginary, exactly like his love of sense, justice and truth. He is not actually happy when free; he is uncomfortable, a bit alarmed, and intolerably lonely. Liberty is not a thing for the great masses of men. It is the exclusive possession of a small and disreputable minority, like knowledge, courage and honor. It takes a special sort of man to understand and enjoy liberty — and he is usually an outlaw in democratic societies.—HL Mencken

I watched it until the last second and can't think about a point to disagree with you yet. Sometimes I'm just the student.
I used to let off steam when I was playing football (the European one you know), but that didnt usually end well for me...haha.
But better ranting in front of a camera than to our loved ones.

I'll be honest, at first, right before watching your video, I though I was going to laugh at you.

But in the middle part, it went interesting and I actually agreed.

Well in the end I laughed but not at you, it was a combination of amazement, agreement and the funny way you expressed it.

No one's gonna fucking wipe your ass for you anymore - SO. FUCKING. RIGHT.

wordsword (58) · 7 years ago (edited)

I watch your videos, and other voluntaryist stuff. I get more sad thought I rarely get mad, but I must say you have an excellent well articulate, even artistic way, of blowing of steem eehh....steam.

I'm more shut of from the world there are not many people around me I don't live in a city and I work on my home.

I can imagine that if I was more like you, engaged in "society" I would be confronted with statist thinking and that I would be more mad. Maybe you could take some sort of a break, I don't know.

This video has helped me through the darkest times in the beginning of my being voluntayist. It's a bit pompous but what the heck it kept me going.

Oh and what helps me, is seeing sometimes people wake up in the comment section of this or that video or article Or to hear, in real live, someone saying things I said, without them realizing that they got it from me. I say noting then and laugh a little inside, it gives me the courage to continue because I know some seeds do germinate. Peace

This is very true, and important to remember. I've seen it as well, myself. it's the rare case, but makes all the other frustrations kind of worth it, in a way.

I feel ya mang. I'm in the middle of a tiresome debate with the usual nitpicker who is capable of sounding very intelligent whilst at the same time entirely failing to address any of my points/ questionss... It does take up a hell of a lot of mental bandwith!

Personally - and it's definitely not for everyone - I go on inward journeys using a combination of the Tarot and meditation. I find it very cleansing to delve into the ways in which I perpetuate the master/ slave dynamic... Jung would call it 'Shadow-work'.

As a fellow lover of Jung, I am in full agreement about the shadow work man.

I hear ya brother! I realized that people aren't starving because they have no food but because the powers that be want them to starve and that if the queen of england sold her golden chariot, it would be enough money to feed the entire world for many years to come (even at these manipulated gold prices). But us peasants still continue to give them our money. Not because they need our money, they already have most of it anyway but because they don't want us to have it.
Genesis 11: 6 The Lord said, (with regard to building the tower of babel) “If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. This passage, I believe, is the key for us to take back our liberties. If we could only put our differences aside and unite against them. We need to grab our torches and pitchforks and mount an uprising! Since live and let live isn't working it's now Kill or be killed apparently!
They've even told us (written in stone) their plans to reduce humanity to under a billion people and still no outcry?
9/11 was done by the government and weather warfare, chemtrails, the fires in California aren't natural (that's not how fire behaves). I can also assure you that you don't live on a ball. Nothing is what we've been led to believe.
The only way to blow off steam, however is to pray and know that these people will absolutely reap what they've sown and give it up to your creator, put in His hands, He will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory!
Barring that, smoke a big joint, down a couple brewskies and get right with God because we're all going to die and if TPTB have it their way, it'll be sooner rather than later.
Peace, blessings and prosperity my friend.

P.S. Don't take the lord thy God's name in vain. Not because it hurts Him but because it actually hurts you.Believe it or not.

Consider "the golden rule" again, please. (Stopped your vid at 1:19. That's what I do before I need to blow off steam. I'm with you here!) So what's the golden rule, again? I like my kids being coerced into schools and mentally programmed by strangers, so you do? What the f*! How could we get "the golden rule" that wrong for so long?!

There's the platinum rule my friend: I don't like my kids being coerced into school and mentally programmed by strangers. So you like it? Ok, then do it with your kids. Beware of mine! They already do know your rules and mind the platinum one. And by YOU I don't mean you but your neighbour, so please take a breath and let me know what you think ... tomorrow. Peace, love and anarchy!

I understand about the platinum rule. The golden rule as I stated it is the same. Nobody honest with themselves wants to be forced to do something. If they do want it, then it is not really coercive or violent anymore.

An important point, though, so thanks.

tonyamme (43) · 7 years ago (edited)

Kafka, I highly appreciate your sincerity. Yet frankly, I don't value it a valid argument that nobody honest with themselves wants to be forced to do something, i.e. firstly for just that this is as far from what I #perceive in the worlds around me as it could be. So many people do give or take #punishment (and #reward) for nearly nothing.

Yes, it's a well spread #myth, that nobody wants to be forced in certain occasions; but except all the other. With the same breath those than say "it didn't hurt me either". And it probably is a well spread myth as well, that many people are #honest with themselves. I like how Christine #Nöstlinger once stated it in favor of children: "It is understood that every human lies about twohundred times a day. Children are #humans as well!" (Angeblich lügt jeder Mensch etwa zweihundertmal am Tag. Kinder sind auch #Menschen ! [1]) Now that's when I say let's stop being #childish. Let's not be #emotional to much [3]. Let's #growup together.

Hey, please get me wrong. I don't say those people should not do want to be forced to do something. I'm fine with that as long as they don't argue it to be consistent with * #thegoldenrule * and expect my #consent. Well, it probably is #consistent. But than it's not because this golden rule is #misrepresented, if you ask me. It's because the rule is not as golden as it's said to be.

So let's be honest, do we? If I like to pay taxes, it's not because I agree with #theft in the name of #statism not being theft. I just would have not considered this idea to be valid. If I don't need to pay, I don't do it. It's that simple. Everybody would give #charity to road works for reduceing pot holes if this wouldn't be true! It's just that I agree with it, because I don't agree in taking the #consequenses [2]. Consent does not change the #essence of an #action. It's exactly this #silent consent that makes some of us being childish when it comes to #coersion and #deception. So is the golden rule only for the #sincere and the #platinum for the rest of us?

Some #foodforthought. Thanks for having it on a blockchain. I can probably do a seperate post from it, or someone else does. Please let me know of it, if you see one. Now, please tell me how you blow off steam. I more and more do write my #mind to a #blockchain. How about that one? ;)

I'll tell you a story about the tax man that's true, but yeah hard to believe. So there was this man who owed the tax man about a million bucks right (he probably never paid and owed more than that). So tax man came to his home and said you need to pay or we will take your shit. He beat the shit out of the tax man and threw his ass of the stairs, then he took 75k from his safe and said this is all have and the tax man took it never to be heard from him again. I mean what the fuck... This man is a very known criminal and psychopath in my town who ain't scared to fuck you up. Saw him get arrested by 5 cops and he headbutt them while handcuffed and headbutt out the police car window. When they came for him once again with 4 police cars he ran outside towards them and they all reversed, fuckin reversed. His family is big and brothers are known in this town too, most of their family is nuts. You fuck with them and you get the whole pack on your back. By the way for headbutting the cops he got off with a settlement a fine of 320 euro , you get more for a speeding ticket here. The system is actually scared for who that fight it here and don't give a fuck. Saw it with my own eyes, I'm not crazy like him and his family, so I pay like a little bitch.

I understand your frustration. I think we all do whatever the topic is about that we really truly believe in. There will always be jerk around, that can't explain why they think the way they do.

But you can't change the whole world in one go, or even in a lifetime.

We share this planet together, we're like 10 billion souls, and we can't make everyone understand.

It was really nice hearing you rant, truly :D

I think you did one of the good ways to handle your frustration, making a post about it just letting it all out. I bet it felt better after doing that.

Myself, I go creative. I'll get inspired by setbacks, realizing how much more that needs to be done, writing, posting, just educating and being constructive. It works for me.
