Politics is a blight on a healthy society, and a healthy mind. Instead of rallying for this or that political candidate, we should be striving instead for an apolitical society.
There are no enemies, nobody is born into a role, nobody ‘belongs’ to a tribe; there is only right vs wrong, and every individual is responsible for his own moral choices.
Although I am in the UK I fully endorse everything in your article. We have the same issues here and having believed in the political system for many years albeit with some doubt, I am now so disillusioned with the whole system, I doubt anyone will ever get my vote again on any level, local or national. As the saying goes power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. We trusted these people to take care of our country, people and our livelihood and have been terribly let down on every count. We call them weak and unable to make coherent decisions, when actually we are only seeing the outer cover, under the cover they are devious, hypocrites building castles for themselves and we will all be left on the other side of the moat.
Thank you, James. It's takes courage to call out the biggest lies of our so-called reality, which — aside from the Natural World — are social constructs to damage us in every imaginable way.
When I was very young, I thought politics was a joke. Then I got indoctrinated in public school. I put on the blinders to get good grades, to believe in a shared fantasy. But I still never voted until around 2000, largely because my boyfriend had a television and watched the news. Indeed, there is a neurological component to the projections from black-screen boxes that, when it comes to politics, we want "our side" to win, at all costs. A decade-and-a-half later, I read The Most Dangerous Superstition by Larken Rose; it re-opened my eyes! Every since then, it has been an almost non-stop process of peeling back layer after layer after layer of deception by the wayward wizards and their cushy-job-keeping career clowns.
Wishing you and yours well, as always, and keep up the fabulous writing!

As always...thank you for putting my thoughts into words. I agree 1000%. ♥
Beautiful thinking and written from love. Thank you James.
This is the sanest thing that I’ve read in a long time. Thank you!
The world could use a lot more people willing to defy evil.
I agree, we have to stop waiting for someone to come and save us, especially politicians!
"Your savior is not to be found on an election ballot.
It is to be found staring at you in the mirror every morning.
Perhaps instead of praying “deliver us from evil”, we should be praying “give me the courage to defy evil.”
We perpetuate slavery by what we give our assent to. It ends when we refuse to comply." Restacked a s a quote!
