#ShittyMeme ๐ฉ #IFixedIt ๐จ๐ฟโ๐ง 1๏ธโฃ. The government ain't just the "the government" it's a vast & multilayered group of institutions & agencies that go from local, state, to federal. Anyone to that talks about "thee government" without specifying which agency or sector is usually trying to deceive or manipulate you.๐บ๐ฒ 2๏ธโฃ. "The government" doesn't operate off or profits, it operates off of fines, fees, taxes, issues bonds, & shit like that. Even if you're "self-sufficient" you'll need land which is taxable, you'll need seeds & tools which are taxable, you'll need fishing & hunting licenses which requires fees, you'll need guns which are taxable, you'll need a vehicle which is taxable & licenced, etc, etc, etc. If you oppose profits you need to attack Capitalism & purge capitalism from the government, not simply try to run into the woods to escape the government.๐ฒ 3๏ธโฃ. Self-sufficiency is a myth, because people need manufactured goods, they'll need professional services, they need protections & oversight, all of which are regulated by state & federal governments & bureaucrats. Unless you have multidisciplinary skills ranging form engineering, medical, academic, agricultural, chemical, textile, seafaring, combat, herbology, psychology, investigative, arts, etc; you aren't self-sufficient; you're just a delusional & selfish muthafucka.๐จ๐ฟโ๐พ 4๏ธโฃ. We're socially oriented & dependent primates, you need other people & you're obligated to other people & any positive social change only comes via coordinate, unified actions, not lone wolf delusions about self-sufficiency.๐บ 5๏ธโฃ. People who push the myth of self-sufficient is trying to exploit your legitimate outrage for their own profits, they aren't trying to empower you to implement real solutions.๐๐ฟ 6๏ธโฃ. We need to fight State Oppression & Capitalist Exploitation, growing food & drinking well water isn't going to get us there. We need Mass Revolutionary Organizing, not Individualistic Delusions based on Reactionary misunderstandings about the nature & structures of power & profits.โ๐ฟ 7๏ธโฃ. I could say more but this is getting too long for a response to a shitty meme so I'll stop here: Fuck this meme.๐๐ฟ (at South Side, Chicago) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVobsNyMqxF/?utm_medium=tumblr
