“I won’t support your lie no more. I won’t even try no more. If I have to die, oh Lord, that’s how I choose to live!
I won’t be compromised no more. I can’t be victimized no more. I just don’t sympathize no more, ‘cuz now I understand. You just want to use me. You say “love,” then abuse me. You never thought you’d lose me, but how quickly we forget – that nothing is for certain. You thought I’d stay here, hurting. Your guilt trip’s just not working – repressing me to death! ‘Cuz, now, I’m choosing life, yo! I’ll take the sacrifice, yo! If everything must go, then go! That’s how I choose to live!
No more compromises. I see past your disguises. Blinding me through mind-control. Stealing my eternal soul. Appealing through material to keep me as your slave – but, I’ll get out! Oh, I get out of all your boxes! I get out! Oh, you can’t hold me on these chains! I’ll get out! Oh, I want out of social bondage! Knowing my condition is the reason I must change!”
Steven C.: Please explain. You mean she doesn’t like hollywood as well
Steven C.: Does that mean she doesn’t like hollywood
Rayn: It’s not Hollywood she’s referring to, Steven. She’s deconstructing the mental, physical, spiritual and social bondage that comes with living in a corrupt and illegitimate system of control, run a small minority of “elites,” in a situation where most don’t recognize it as a such…
Rayn: Listen to it, again, while keeping that in mind. 🙂
The following correspondence originally took place here, on the Facebook page, “Liberty Evolution“…
Liberty Evolution: An interesting take on it. Most of your day is based on consensual interaction, so Voluntaryism isn’t all that far-fetched. Stay optimistic, friends.
“This is anarchy Can you imagine if your relationships were coerced?”
Rayn: Indeed! I often tell others that my government must be like my marriage in order to be legitimate: consensual and contractual!
As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following status update here, being shared by the page, “People’s Uprising,” and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…
From Nazi Youth to the Pope of Catholic Church
People’s Uprising: Unlawful Humor
So, the Pope resigned. I must admit, I did Nazi that coming!
Rayn: Indeed! And, every time an individual shills for centralized government, the wall of oppression rises!
“Each time a person stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, they send forth a tiny ripple of hope… These ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.” – Robert F. Kennedy
Stephen K.: And those ripples often rebound as assassinations! 🙁
Adam G.: Okay, it’s kind of getting really obnoxious that you reduce all rhetoric about oppression to being about centralized government. That might be your position, but there are other viewpoints and you are totally discounting them.
Rayn: To reply to your comment, Stephen, I’ll quote Lauryn Hill: “Knowing my condition is the reason I must die!” 🙂
Adam, that sounds like a personal problem, if you ask me! I discounted nothing, and just so happen to not consent to being governed by the “representatives” of the collective! I choose to focus on and write about the oppression committed by centralized government in a great deal of my posts because it is very special interest of mine – as I continue to personally endure the tyranny of this system DAILY – so, you are incorrect in your statement that I “reduce *all* rhetoric about oppression to being about centralized government.” There are, indeed, other forms of oppression taking place in this world besides the kind I typically focus on, and yet, NOTHING I’ve written here, or even previously, discounts their existence, whatsoever! I’d love for you to prove otherwise!
