Radical Revolution

 Washington, DC, USA - July 25, 2020: A rainbow American flag emblazoned with "We the people" hangs on a supply cart while a protester carries a flag upside down at March Against Trump's Police State

Our founding fathers were radical anti-authoritarian extremists.  They were radical liberals who fought against the largest and most powerful empire that the earth has ever known—and won; spawning revolution after revolution around the world until as many as possible were free. 

The founding fathers were the first people on planet earth in any lasting way to form a government of the people, by the people and for the people.  And most of the world followed them.

 

The founding fathers established institutions that would preserve our liberty from any yoke; that would endow us with rights; that would foster our autonomy and free exchange or community.

 

This is what you are rebelling against about trying to figure out what the problems are.  And how you are even allowed to rebel.  You think you are rebelling against an old guard of some kind.  And sometimes you are.  But it is not America.  Lasting liberty is very new in a very old world.  Not the elite who comprise America.  When you demonize “America,” know that America isn’t even really a nation, as it were.  It is a set of principles and institutions that exist solely that you be free and independent to do whatever you like and prosper.  Anything else is not America.  You are rebelling against the most evenly and prolifically prosperous and free and communal and cultural nation that has ever existed.  The whole world envies us.  And we try to tear down the aedifices that gird our arms and legs and heart and minds and spirit.  Radicals: you are rebelling against the radicals of the history of the world—either without knowing it.  Or—If I didn’t know better, I’d say you have a very specific agenda that you are not sharing with anyone.  And it seems to be working.  And you seem to have many people in the palm of your hand.

 

Much or most of the world now stands on its own legs.  And can use its own arms.  And head and heart and spirit as they wish.  This radical revolution is a world revolution.  Who would rebel against the rebels.  Who would be radical against the radicals?  Who would kill the killers of The Man?

 

What is your agenda?  What do you plan for us?  I know you will die before you tell anyone.  And you will kill anyone before you give up.  I am on to you.  That is why I look the way I do to anyone.  That is why you have demonized me in perception or utilization these ways throughout my life.  Maybe no one will believe me until they see the proof.  Maybe I am dead alone in my fight for humanity.  So be it.  Either you will free you or I will die trying.  Until then I appear to be the psychotic mess I appear to be—and there is nothing I can do about it.  And utilized for that which I came to deliver you—but without the costs you are incurring.  You are incurring terrible debts and obligations.  That is how your vanguard works.  And many of you now work that way.  If I had to guess, one day it will be you that is cancelled when you are not cooperative or useful anymore.

 

Hopefully one day the whole world will breathe freely.  And beyond.  That is why I do everything I do.  Hopefully one day you will find that I was your best friend.  even yours—though you will never believe me—or let anyone else.  Until the bitter end I see now.
