READ MY SCIENTIFIC THESIS ON WHY MOST PEOPLE IN USA ARE MIND-CONTROLLED SLAVES BECAUSE THEY DO NOT READ ANY POLITICAL SCIENCE AND POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY BOOKS BUT INSTEAD ARE MIND MANIPULATED BY INFLUENCERS LIKE TUCKER CARLSON, SCOTT RITTER, CHRIS HEDGES, NICK FUENTES AND OTHER INFLUENCERS:

Most people on the internet—on Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit—who participate in political discussions haven’t really read basic political science books like The Prince by Machiavelli, Permanent Revolution by Trotsky, The State and Revolution by Lenin, Hegel, Nietzsche, The Republic by Plato, or works by critical theorists like Žižek, Deleuze, Habermas, Chomsky, Adorno, or Erich Fromm. People online often lack knowledge of how the world works due to not reading these books. They get bored with books and instead rely on internet middle class right-wing influencers and middle class reformist leftists influencers like Nick Fuentes, Tucker Carlson, Judge Napolitano, Scott Ritter, or The Young Turks etc.

These influencers are not infallible and don’t present 100% truths about how this corrupt world operates. This is why many who follow these talking heads are manipulated into continuing to support the two wings of the same dictatorial one-party system (Democrats and Republicans).

Even Chris Hedges has pointed out that most people today have lost their reading habits, which is why they lack understanding of the true nature of political corruption and manipulation.

For example, I recently read in a book on political power by Michel Foucault and Gilles Deleuze that the number one goal of every capitalist authoritarian state (like the U.S. government) is to keep the masses divided into two sectors—middle class and lower classes, right-wingers and left-wingers, bourgeois traditional Christian middle classes and lower-income groups.

Which is really a division of the ultra-right wing, and the moderate right-wing (which is the capitalist left, the bourgeoise left, the revisionist-reformist left. While the real left is insivisible from the eyes of the mind-controlled masses

Foucault argued that a revolutionary situation could only arise if the ruled masses, comprising 80% of the USA, were completely united into a single revolutionary front, potentially leading to the overthrow of the oppressive ruling class. However, this scenario does not exist in the USA because Americans are subjected to mind control, influenced by both ultra-right-wing and fake-left-wing commentators and media figures who’s main job is to keep US citizens divided into middle class and lower class, and into ultra-right-wing and fake-left-wingers

That’s why we won’t see a real overthrow of the oligarchic, plutocratic U.S. government anytime soon. The main job of ultra-right-wing commentators like Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, and Nick Fuentes is to rally votes and support for the ultra-right, while progressive voices like David Pakman, Amy Goodman, The Young Turks, and Thom Hartmann aim to build support for the liberal bourgeoise fake-capitalist-left.

However, none of these figures truly educate the public on the deeper causes of poverty and oppression affecting 80% of Americans—namely, the existence of the state and authority itself. They don’t explain that the real issue in the U.S. isn’t Trump, Israel, or the Democrats. They don’t tell people that the root cause of the country’s low living standards for the majority lies in its division into two wings (fake-left and ultra-right) and two classes (middle and lower).

They never educate their listeners into the importance of getting into a marxist book-reading program of basic marxist revolutionary literature, like The Communist Manifesto, The state and Revolution, Permanent Revolution, Socialism or Barbarism by Rosa Luxemburg etc

Those ultra-right wing and fake-left influencers (Nick Fuentes, Candece Owens The Young Turks, David Pakman, Paul Craig Roberts, Scott Ritter, Caitlin Jones, Jeffrey Sachs, Aaron Matte, Max Blumentnal never tell their fans that the capitalist state itself in Israel, Palestine, USA, Europe and all countries of the world must be dismantled and replaced by a temporary state which in marxism is called "The dictatorship of the proletariat" in order to see humans to achieve true happiness and liberty, as explained in this article from Wikipedia

This whole world is doomed and all governments of the world, including anti-imperialist governments like Russia, Venezuela, Iran are really oppressive oligarchic plutocratic governments and are no solution for the poor people of the whole world. The real solution is a global anarchist revolution in order to destroy all states of the world. We need governments anymore because governments have been mafia cartels since they were created thousands of years ago

Russia has a long imperialist tradition and many of it's policies are basically imperialist in nature. It is better in certain respects than hyper powers like the US, but it should not be given a pass. And I personally do not think it should be given a pass on Ukraine. The US Israel and Germany were involved in all sorts of chicanery, but Russia did not have to take these steps. It did so because it has its own imperial system

Russia, like the USA and Mexico, operates as an oligarchic plutocracy. BRICS also fails to address issues like global poverty and widespread hunger. Most YouTube and internet political influencers do not genuinely educate the masses, and alternative sites along with progressive influencers often contribute to confusion, much like their right-wing counterparts.

The world seems destined for failure unless people undergo a mental and spiritual revolution to evolve into free anarchist individuals, preparing themselves mentally for a world without slavery.

That's why the philosopher Nietzsche advocated for the evolution toward the "superman," a mental, emotional, and spiritual state where individuals would be completely free, no longer controlled by their families, churches, or governments.

A SONG ABOUT HOW PEOPLE SHOULD BE, NOT MIND-CONTROLLED BY ANY GOVERNMENT, BY ANY INSTITUTION BY ANY GODS !! https://youtu.be/auLBLk4ibAk

As far as lyrical meaning, it is important to note that, while influenced by Twain, Rand and various others, he is (in his own words), "a disciple of no one." Through his lyrics we can piece together a personal philosophy, a proprietary blend, of anti-idealism/objectivism/individualism (Freewill, The Pass, TOM SAWYER, Show Don't Tell, Vital Signs, etc...), fatalism (Roll The Bones, a personal favorite), existentialism (again, Roll The Bones, Limelight, the title "All The World's A Stage") and several other philosophical influences.

Tom Sawyer (not Diane Sawyer, Ricky. hehe) is, in both the book and song, the personification of a sort or type of person, the sort of person breaking away from the status quo, exploring and, importantly, the sort who represents both a normative and actual shifting of the human paradigm in the direction of his (man's) rational evolution. This fits, to a greater or lesser extent, with Freud's idea that man evolves in such a way as to shed his dependence on ideals (religion, social norms) and replace that dependence with a greater implementation of reason (leading to self-reliance, a deeper self-awareness and sense of responsibility for ones own "destiny"). Tom Sawyer has thus been a different people at different transitional points in man's evolution (our history). "Todays" Tom Sawyer is exactly what the song says; a leader to the next step in realizing pure reason or rationality; the "space he invades," is his days work, to explore the unknown as progress towards truth; the "friction of the day," is the resistance he faces from both people's unwillingness to embrace change as well as the intellectual rigor of tackling what hasn't already been explored (the guy who cuts a path through the forest faces resistance from the brush leaving those who follow behind with little to do but be complacent and stagnate). He (TS) does all of this with a mind filled only by his own conclusions (i.e. "not for rent"), and via the power coming from honest intellectual reciprocity or dialectical process ("he gets high on you," "he gets by on you"). As far as "riding out the days events," the song is referring to fate controlling what life gives to us, even though it is our responsibility (and can be a point of pride if done well) to live our own life with what fate hands us. In RUSH's "Roll the Bones," Peart refers to the same notion, "we draw our own designs, but fortune has to make that frame."

The philosophical analysis could go on and on. Tom Sawyer is an intellectually (ideologically) dense song, as are many other of Peart's lyrics. It would take a while to thoroughly unpack them and I feel bad writing as much as I have. Sorry about that. I'm new, and haven't yet developed any restraint :-)

A modern day warrior

Mean, mean stride

Today's Tom Sawyer

Mean, mean pride

Though his mind is not for rent

Don't put him down as arrogant

His reserve, a quiet defense

Riding out the day's events

The river

What you say about his company

Is what you say about society

Catch the mist, catch the myth

Catch the mystery, catch the drift

The world is, the world is

Love and life are deep

Maybe as his skies are wide

Today's Tom Sawyer

He gets high on you

And the space he invades

He gets by on you

No, his mind is not for rent

To any god or government

Always hopeful, yet discontent

He knows changes aren't permanent

But change is

What you say about his company

Is what you say about society

Catch the witness, catch the wit

Catch the spirit, catch the spit

The world is the world is

Love and life are deep

Maybe as his eyes are wide

Exit the warrior

Today's Tom Sawyer

He gets high on you

And the energy you trade

He gets right on to

The friction of the day

The world truly needs a mental awakening, a cultural revolution, and enlightenment so that people can become "free spirits," as Nietzsche described—free-thinking individuals who are not controlled, manipulated, or influenced by governments, organizations, or individuals. This perspective aligns with Emma Goldman's views on marriage, as she argued that married women are essentially enslaved to their husbands. Change is inevitable!

As long as there is government, any government, there will be unlimited corruption. In the long run, no country survives unbridled corruption, thievery and grifting. It is impossible to know what will replace our system after the collapse.

If the same clowns are still in power, the new system will end up being as bad as the old.

It might sound bonkers, but if we do not start to make the connection of the current collapse of old money-, energy- and medical systems and the discovery of extraterrestial life, we will not find a clear head. If we do not accept that new technologies are on our doorstep in connection with meeting extraterrestial life, we will never understand our times. It is exactly why we are so supressed now. To keep us away from those facts. Many powerful groups and people are about to lose all. The fight is fierce!

Face it my beloved friend, when they mint a coin with this fascist image on it, you know which way the wind blows.

The generals sat, while the lines on the map, moved from side to side.

Only STRIKES like shit in Italy will get “their” attention.

Gaza is dead.

“They” killed it.

But, Palestine Will Never Die

My tattered flag in the yard says so.

I do appreciate your sentiments.

Here in the u.s.a. it’s very ugly and violent.

You don’t live here, friend.

This horrifying Congress Critters, Gates, Governor 'Gruesome Newscum', 'Lone Scum', Soros, 'Benedict' Biden and Harris and even Trump, Vance, and 'Ramaswampy' et al are blatant fully owned and operated puppets of their globalist technocrat parasite masters same as other numerous 'PUBLIC SERPENTS' infesting by design from above, the bureaucratic apparatus.

Can't say this often enough! The Military/Industrial Complex and the Biowarfare/industrial Complex, WEF agenda and the evils assaulting humanity are from one and the same source - it is the 99% against the diabolical GREED of the 0.01% who should not be in charge of anything!

The monsters in human skin suits who rule the world get a sadistic vampiric thrill and boost from perpetrating the vilest most demonic crimes against the most vulnerable (babies and small children) and then corrupting the system to get away with it scot free! We the People must stop them, there are a lot more of us than them!

A radical ultra-leftist orthodox Marxist from Mexico, Pedro Echavarria, who writes for Aporrea.org, claimed that Mexico's so-called progressive governments under Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador and the current administration of Claudia Sheinbaum are essentially the same as past neoliberal capitalist administrations like those of Felipe Calderon, Pena Nieto, and Vicente Fox. He stated that even Lopez Obrador and Claudia Sheinbaum are corrupt, involved in drug smuggling, and act like previous Mexican governments.

In Mexico, out of 125 million people, only about 5 million eat well, while the remaining 120 million live in extreme poverty and hunger.

Similarly, the current Venezuelan government, which claims to be leftist, is actually a capitalist, corrupt, narco-oligarchic kleptocracy, with a minimum wage of less than $5 per month—hardly socialism.

All governments, even those in BRICS nations, are essentially oligarchic and corrupt, just like Western governments. People are so manipulated that they believe socialism is the solution to capitalism.

The real solution, however, lies in anarchism or leaving this planet to establish self-governing anarchist societies elsewhere.

By the way anybody here heard of the Association of Autonomous Astronauts AAA it is an union of people who aim to build their own spaceships in order to leave this evil planet and establish a paradise in other planets. The purpose of the AAA is to allow space [pun unintentional] for individuals and affinity groups to act with unrestrained ferocity against systems of domination, while still being connected to a network of people who are interested in similar ideas and who can act in solidarity with each others’ struggles.

Astronauts of all determinations, unite! We have a world to lose, but a universe to gain!
