Refuse! Refuse to join in the mainstream nightmare: refuse to be subjugated. However, for this to be truly effective, this would need to be done on a global scale: just don't show up for work etc. With the internet, how come, there has never been, for example, (to my knowledge anyway) a world wide refusal day?

This tiny minority ruling over a vast majority is baffling, the vast majority ever permit the tiny minority to have 'legitimate' force: to perpetrate 'legitimate' violence: to have bogus court proceedings, the list is endless.

These days, I have confess, I can rarely bring myself to listen to the majority moan and groan about their plight: gig economy, pensions being eroded, the cost of this and that, how the rich get richer, schools closing, rents increasing on and on and on. Then I remember de la Boetie's discourse on voluntary servitude and realise the majority want subjugation: they don't want autonomy, they don't the faintest whiff of freedom and self-responsibility: no, they want someone to blame and point the finger at.

Bellamy Fitzpatrick, I am assuming realised this, and is now doing his best to survive/exist by is own guile. Will he return to the fold of the mainstream should ill health call in on him as did Fredy Perlman? Perlman, like Boetie, wrote of voluntary servitude in his own essay regarding the reproduction of everyday life. It's Going Down waffle on and on about Trump, yet for many, it is the local public services: the local bureaucrats who shit on many people: the local housing office, the local social services, the local education hierarchy etc who blight the lives of most people, not Trump aka Ancient Orange.

Armed struggle? Armed resistance? Armed insurrection? The folk in the USA are allowed to keep guns, right? One reason for this is in case the government overstep the mark. So not only is there a ruling plutocracy, an oligarchy which has captured what little remained of any semblance of democracy; there is a global instant communication platform, the people have arms, they have the knowledge about the current nightmare, and still the majority sit back and moan!!!! What is to be done indeed. There is way more chance of the armed people taking the food grown by Bellamy than challenging the current nightmare... so Bellamy, be prepared to protect your meat and two veg!
