They will break the system of everything we find dear and desirable, but they don’t intend to break the system of control. Destruction is proceeding without any diminution of control systems. In fact these systems are increasing in scope. I agree that real world is not linear and many things are possible, but the destruction of the system does not necessarily mean our liberation. This outcome is less likely as we travel down this dystopian road.

All human based tyrannical systems can be easily overthrown by a critical mass of people actively withdrawing their consent. That is because the coercive element are human and they eventually abandon and refuse to obey the overlords. But all bets are off when enforcers become robots. We only have a relatively narrow window of opportunity to save ourselves. We must build a critical mass of resistance that can topple this evil system, now. There is a distinct possibility that we might never be able to do it again.

It is well worth keeping in mind that they intend to kill us. They got away with unleashing a bio-weapon on humanity. Our numbers may collapse within a generation. Humanity is facing a significantly reduced lifespan and our capacity to procreate is probably severely crippled. If their power remains intact, they will accelerate their genocidal project. At which point on this destruction path do you think we will begin to liberate ourselves? A new start is possible, but only if we wake up and act within a reasonable distance from now. The longer this proceeds, the less likely a desirable change is possible.

They have a plan and a strategy to achieve it. We have wishful thinking.

Those are the sort of ideas we need to put to work on all fronts. A a few years ago I thought of selectively targeted crowdsourcing election funding of fiercely independent people running for office. I envisioned supporting both left wingers and right wingers, because the essential difference is no longer between left and right, but between controlled and independent. That actually mashes well with your idea. We can only win with a very broadly based movement from across the political spectrum. I really don’t care if one is Democrat, Republican, Anarchist, Communist or Libertarian. We may disagree on many issues but we must come together in unity to defeat this evil system.

This tyrannical system is, just like all large systems, similar to a flywheel. It gathers momentum which seems unstoppable, but its motions can be slowed down by thousands of relatively small actions by networked people power, and ultimately its motion can be reversed. Let’s all create an unstoppable flywheel in favor of people! For this to happen we will also need to learn how to create locally based structures.

Many years ago I read a book by Mary Parker Follett - The New State. She emphasizes the creation of groups. Not that I agree with everything she writes in this book but I do believe she is onto something. I’ve recently read somewhere that hunter gatherers were able to self-organize in groups of below 150. Apparently hierarchical systems do not rise in such small groups; there are no chieftains and kings and whatever “leaders” there are, they arise so organically. We ought be become a nation of endless numbers of local groups working together. I believe our individuality would be best protected by such structures.

Also Martin, are you familiar with Balaji Srinivasan's Network State idea? It seems to echo a lot about what you are saying here. This podcast with Lex Fridman is super long (we treat it like an audio book) but there are lots of shorter ones you can find with him explaining it on there. We wrote about this one here: https://joshketry.substack.com/p/the-single-best-podcast-of-all-time

You get it. Stay tuned because we are working on some really exciting fronts for making platforms and tools for better self governance.

Wouldn't having our "nation(s)" online make it and therefore us more not less susceptible to unintended influence? Especially via AI?

Really enjoyed this article. I intend to live through this mess and see what is on the other side. A lot of pain unable to stop loved ones from falling for the jabs and medical industrial complex. My view is optimistic as I do not live near a big city anymore. Where you live can skew your view.

I agree that it could turn out in our favor, if "our favor" can be defined in terms of the long-term health of humanity. I actually do suspect that the cloaked global leadership has been lulled into their own unique form of arrogant hubris, and will suffer the fate of the Qin Dynasty, lost to their quest for immortality:

EXCELLENT IDEA!!! BUT THEY MUST REJECT ANY/ALL ASSOCIATED W/ WEF & THE OTHER GLOBALIST PSYCHOS... like Young Global Leaders Tulsi Gabbard, Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, etc.

We don't think Tulsi was actually a member. They used her photo without her permission. And didn't Elon denounce them a bunch? (hard to trust)

But either way we agree. This is why the counter to the WEF that J Peterson is proposing is gaining so much momentum so fast. People want that.
