“I, REPRESENT, YOU.”
Strictly
speaking, 'government', to be legitimate, should first put it to the
vote as to whether anyone in their right mind would consent or even
wish to be 'governed'. Or would prefer to organise their own affairs
between themselves. Even the construction of roads and sewers for
example which is already carried out by the people themselves anyway.
Otherwise,
government, by not representing the wishes of the people first as to
how things should be organized is by definition a self legitimized
public nuisance purporting to be a public convenience.
Self
legitimization otherwise being a parasitic intrusion into the
freedom of everybody who they then refer to as 'the public', which is
a self declaration of separateness with personal agendas first.
Which is said to be in 'the best interests of the public.'
A
public what? Are you a public? What would you say to someone who
called you ' nothing but a part of the public'? Would you agree?
Would you allow yourself to be treated as such for your whole
existence? If so, why?
What
is a public anyway? Have you ever met such a thing and do you know
one personally? Being a collective term used primarily by those who
consider themselves hierarchically separate from the collective, 'the
general public' is a generalized abstraction, which no individuals
can embody as truly representative.
It's
worse than just being told what to do and what not to do. It's being
told what you are, and how would anybody who doesn't know you and has
not even met or heard of you know who you are , better than you who
have always lived with yourself?
Given
the freedom (as if freedom could be given) to be as you know and wish
yourself to be, or conversely, to be coerced by threat and
conditional reward, which would you choose, and why? (Please tick
whichever box represents you.)
Or
would you choose to let someone you'll never meet or know, decide
whether you even have a choice or not? Someone whose life is
dedicated to establishing conditions which are contrary to your best
wishes for yourself and who tells you it's for the good of everybody.
How would they know, when they don't know everybody, and only mingle
with their hierarchical circle?
They
give you a choice (they say) between two people saying basically the
same thing: “Allow me to tell you what you are and who you can and
can't be.”
What
sort of choice is that?! How can a permanent stranger give you a
choice to be what you already are? You.
Sure,
this permanent stranger will tell you who 'they' are, and that they
passionately care about you. How can you possibly believe them when
they are too busy describing their agenda for you to get to know you
personally? Preferring at best to send representatives of their
agenda to knock on your door.
How
can anyone represent you better than you yourself can? Even a mirror
can't do that. They merely 're-present' you, without your presence
which is the only so called 'thing' which could be referred to as
being you. They do that behind somebody elses' closed doors, the
last thing they're interested in is you.
If
i totally entrusted someone to represent me fully, i wouldn't have a
fully authentic and lifeful existence. I'd be redundant. Likewise,
you'd do a better job of just representing you than i would because
i'm not you. Nobody is just anybody. Just anybody, is nobody.
Who
would trust somebody who goes around proclaiming to know what it's
like to be somebody else. Such a person is either a stand up
chamelion or an 'empathological' con artist of the worst kind.
While
the plunderous powers that persist in aggressively striving to be,
plainly don't represent anybody, whether human, animal, or plant.
They may well be fairly representative of a parasitic virus from the
void with a few captive cells in tow.
But
representing somebody else, how is that even possible? You can't
imitate freedom without being a fake. Authentic being is too subtle
and unpredictable for that. Besides, it's presumptuous,
disrespectful, antisocial, intrusive, and plain delusional. Why do
public nuisances need bodyguards? To prevent anybody stopping them
from being what they are.
What
about the people with no voice, don't they need a representative?
Why don't they have a voice? They just need to be seen to be present
and given a space to speak for themselves.
If
somebody represents me in any form, including forms you fill in, they
are presenting an abstraction which bears no resemblance to me. I'm
not my name, my name is just a sound symbol. Neither am i a few so
called 'facts' considered to relate to me, the majority of which no
longer exist in my presence, being of 'the past' which means
non-existent.
Even
my parents didn't represent me, any more than their parents
represented them, i was just suddenly present, and that's as familial
as it gets. My teachers didn't represent me, they just told me what
to do and what not to do, as if i wouldn't find out pretty quick by
myself.
Some
people, (not to mention 'society in general') have zero trust in
nature, which includes human nature. In fact the whole thing seems
to be about zero trust.
Didn't
i learn how to speak a language fluently in no time, just by
listening? That is; just being present.
Leave
people alone and they will be natural. They may go off the rails
especially if they were previously oppressed. The people who fear
that most are oppressors. They fear the oppressed so they oppress
them more. They also fear ceasing to oppress, as they'd have nowhere
to stand. It helps to know your neighbours, it also helps if they
'are' your neighbours, regardless of where they live.
If
you knock on my door saying you represent me, i can only assume i'm
talking to someone with a mirror complex who doesn't know who he's
talking to.
Otherwise
you'd have to relive your life over again devoted to art, music,
beauty and truth and it still wouldn't resemble me in any way.
Notice
i haven't used the word 'anarchy'. It's not about 'anarchy'. It's
just, not about 'archy.' The term 'archy' signifies domination, and
i'm not an archy- type, and a type is not an individual.
Archy
is something 'overarching'. As in hierarchy, patriarchy, oligarchy,
lostyourcarkey. When i need somebody to represent me i promise to be
in touch with myself.~
