This is your lucky day because you get to choose one of the following.
Option one, give me a thousand dollars.
Option two, give me just fifty dollars.
Option three, get pushed off a cliff.
So will you now be a proud option two supporter?
To say the obvious, if someone makes you choose between a few bad possibilities,
that's not you being in charge.
And it's not really you choosing anything.
If none of the above isn't an available option,
then you're being forced into something bad, obviously.
So think about which political candidate or party you support.
Never mind who you're against for now.
Who did you vote for?
Or did you have a bumper sticker or a campaign yard sign
proudly supporting this or that party or candidate?
Now you can insist that the one you support is better than that other one
and that may very well be true, but that's not the question here.
If you proudly supported Obama or Biden
or if you proudly support Trump
or this or that candidate for governor or any other seat,
I have a very simple question for you.
If you could choose between number one,
giving that candidate the power to take your money and control your life
or two, not giving him that power over you,
which would you choose?
If you're a Trump supporter, for example,
and your choices were either you get to spend your own money
and run your own life,
or you let Donald Trump take a bunch of your money
and control a bunch of your life,
which would you choose?
If those were the options, it would be pitiful
and absolutely bonkers for you to choose to give him
or anyone else permission to dominate and extort you.
Be free or be that guy's obedient little subject.
I don't care how much you like someone or think he has good ideas.
If, given the choice, you would opt for being someone else's slave,
that's profoundly pathetic.
And if that were the situation,
would you have a bumper sticker or a yard sign
proudly announcing to the world that you chose
to be a pathetic, subservient subject to this or that person?
Ew, I would hope not.
But the next question is,
why do you think it's any less pathetic and ridiculous
when you do the exact same thing
when the ruling class tells you to choose
between two possible masters?
I'm proud to be obedient livestock,
meekly serving this guy instead of that other guy.
How is that any better?
You're still expressing pride at letting someone else rule you.
Which one you would choose doesn't change the fact
that you're cheering for your own enslavement.
You're celebrating being dominated and controlled
and so proud of it that you just love telling the whole world,
this is who I want to bow to and obey.
Quote,
slaves are like other people and by prejudice is quite common to others.
They think their own better than that of others.
Indeed, it is not uncommon for slaves
even to fall out and quarrel among themselves
about the relative goodness of their masters,
each contending for the superior goodness of his own
over that of the others.
End quote.
That's from Frederick Douglass,
a man who was raised to be a slave himself.
So I hate to break it to you,
but if you feel proud and empowered
supporting your side of the political circus,
whichever side that may be,
then your mind has already been fully trapped,
conquered and bound.
Now, if you would like to not be anyone's dupe or mental slave,
you can pre-order my new book
or better yet be at our approaching humanity event
on July 18th up in Sedona, Arizona.
