I speak with people in my real life, I try to challenge their views. I'm killing their nerves, especially in internet fora.  I try to lead them to not to vote, to disrespect state authorities, to find ways of civil disobedience. I try to catch their attention by arguments, texts, books. I want people to not take the current situation for granted, and not to puit their trust in parties and demicracy, and I want people starting to ask questions and to lower their demands and expecations. You must not tell me how small the success rate is, and still - I see no other way than this. That is my way of being political, and you can be political only on the very basic level: when you tlak to the one person whose face is right in front of you. Everything else - is not politics but ,manipulation and propaganda. I think the turn must come form the people, from the social grassroots, by education and information. We have nothing good to expect from parties and governments, they are more interested in their own interests to stay in power and rob our wealth to survive a little longer before it all collapses. |
But what you fail to realize is that it makes
you the missionary at the door, asking if we have found Jesus. It is
your radio that is too loud, as you are attempting conversion that is not wanted. You have become the very thing that you claim to hate.
