Listen to a reading of this article: ❖ We live in a world of manufactured lack, manufactured enemies, manufactured crises and manufactured consent. We've had sufficient resources to care for everyone for generations. All our wars are based on lies. All our problems are cooked up by a few psychos with too much power.
All your points hit home; only in a dysfunctional society could they be considered radical, hyperbolic, or marginal. I'm beating the crowds by already being disgusted by the 2022 election season.
Main reason I read Caitlin is this quote: "True humility isn't thinking less of yourself, and it isn't thinking of yourself less. True humility is the deep, all-pervading insight that the very phenomenon we call "self" is pure illusion."
If one doesn't have this understanding informing them & this experience "enwizening" them, their opinions & viewpoints will almost always be on the egoic spectrum. The human race desperately needs this perspective. That and a deep understanding of human nature come from doing the work to transform out of an egoic identity to an objective & empathic human. This perspective allows us to view our politics & society from a "greatest good" viewpoint. For myself, I favor policies & laws that contribute to our collective social evolution. I am also free to question everything because I have no particular tribal horse in the race.
Question: Do you see an equivalency between what today would be called left-wing authoritarianism & right-wing authoritarianism? It seems to me that a mask law or a vaccine mandate is not even in the same league as voter suppression laws & abortion laws etc. IMV the left-wing laws are 1. meant to be temporary & are actually beneficial in aggregate to society (according to scientific consensus) & the right-wing laws only empower a minority view over the majority & don't seem to help anyone except to empower themselves & their ideology.
You are so F*&king brilliant. I love you and I thank you! Until the humans learn to see and heal the shadow in themselves (by doing the deep embodied healing work) they will never be able to see the darkness of their own leaders. The more healing work one does the more able we are to hold the dark truths of this dualistic 3D existence (and eventually see thru to the Truth of that too). <3
It's good to see Caitlin's "shout out" to libertarians. They aren't evil brownshirts. They are simply mistaken and misled about corporations being "people." Corporations are created by government by the grant of a corporate charter, creating an "entity" that immediately becomes a "legal person." Most libertarians are anti-war and anti-authoritarian, for the Bill of Rights. They just haven't recognized limited liability corporations as the source of most of humanity's problems.
“It's a tricky tightrope walk the oligarchs have to do, making sure they don't steal too much of our wealth and freedom all at once so we don't rise up and take it back. It's easy to forget that we're actually the ones with all the power here. Only problem is we don't yet know it.
They're more afraid of you than you are of them. It's true of spiders, snakes, and oligarchic imperialists.”
I completely agree.
One of the biggest disservices of all the conspiracy theories, as opposed to conspiracy fact, is that they created the impression that these would-be modern Gods of Olympus are a lot smarter than they actually are.
They are driven by a purely misanthropic Malthusian ideology, which is in some ways their strength given that it allows them to do so many unconscionable things, but it is also their weakness since it causes them to underestimate the true value and nature of creative humanity—something they are completely blind to.
There is perhaps no single better portrayal of the oligarchy’s true nature than the one found in the play Prometheus Bound by Aeschylus. It perfectly describes the degenerate nature of the oligarchy, their wish to keep knowledge of “fire” out of the hands of most, but also their fear of those Prometheans who do stand up, and like Prometheus (the name means “foresight”) challenge this rule and awaken this Promethean fire within others.
Caitlin is a Promethean.
And while the current times are definitely challenging, contrary to the oligarchy’s desire, their push for total control and a dystopian nightmare has only awakened this Promethean fire in an entirely new section of the population who would have in normal terms perhaps not become so aware or discovered the kind of resolve they now find within themselves.
Goethe also wrote an interesting poem on the subject of Prometheus:

I wish you lived next door to me. You've got moxie.
