Join us in mass refusal – let us withdraw our consent. It’s time to stop living in fear, regain our dignity, and do so through ACTION, in recognition that our system has morphed into something new – the old rules and methods don’t work, “voting” is just a sham; there are no political solutions to this coming crisis.
We need a mass, wide-scale repudiation and REFUSAL to play along any more. We must gird our loins, gather our courage and walk away. Let their system collapse in on itself. Yes, it will cause short-term pain, a flash of catastrophe across the boards, but then we will emerge into a new reality, one that recognizes that with modern technology being what it is, *scarcity is now artificial.*
If we continue along the current trajectory, much of labor and the middle class will be rendered economically obsolete, and all the gains will concentrate in the hands of those who currently own capital. We must crash this trajectory; the need is more urgent that most people – and writers, public figures, etc. – realize.
DEBTORS’ REVOLT — intentional DEFAULT EN MASSE is a way to start. Repudiate the predators, rebuild from there.
I’m for that. The first step is BIG -Basic Income Guarantee- and the second step is the implementation of a Resource Base Economy also called The Venus Project.
