My mom said that I'm always fighting and going against the world. She said that it must be really tiring and taxing to be in constant opposition with everything. Is it better to surrender and give in? Maybe I should just go with the flow. There must be a reason as to why the system works and how there hasn't been a revolution yet. I heard that the most successful people make the system work for them.
It works to an extent, but it's also highly abused by people who knows how to. Never convinced yourself that the system does fully work and this is how things should be. That's being in denial and dismissive of the real issues. It's a destructive system. How I see it is the reason you fail is because you're doing it on your own and people with similar perspectives aren't united. The majority of the population become brainwashed into thinking this is how the world works. Which is somewhat true, but it doesn't have to be, and people also have the absolute power to make a change if they wanted to if they worked together.
If we're talking about major companies, they rely on workers for profit while sitting on their asses in some yacht using your hard earned money. Take out the workers and there's no more company. We are the cog the keeps things running no matter what anyone says because we're doing the hard work. However, those positions easily get filled because not having money is punishing in this country. You stop working, you don't survive. So you find people desperate enough to fill in those positions.
There's no revolution because again, people aren't united and mad enough to make a change. Another thing to consider is organizations like Democratic Socialists of America only accepts peaceful protests. Change without violence won't produce the change we need. Ever seen a revolution without people getting hurt or dying on either sides?
That's the absolute reality of it. People will have to choose sacrifice over comfort in order to achieve that change and many don't want to get hurt enough to do so.
People also are too afraid to even participate in an ongoing protest for fear of losing their jobs as they call out of those work days. They have bills to pay such as rent so they don't become homeless, family to support with the hard earned money and many other reasons that depend on money.
The most successful people that made the system work for them also had money beforehand. Lots of it (inheritance and other sources). Don't fall for the nonsense the media spews about such things -- "if they can do it, so can you" type of phrases. These people already had massive advantage over many and can fail as many times as they need until something becomes successful for them. Something you and many of us don't have the luxury of doing.
If you really want to make the system work for you, you'll end up hurting a lot of people along the way as it requires taking advantage of others.
Know that you aren't alone with fighting the system. There are so many out there trying to do the same, but they're all too unorganized. Find and reach out to them if you still want to continue fighting. If that's the kind of life you want to choose to live.
There's truth in what your mom said, but do you really want to stop even if it's exhausting?
Or "go with the flow" if you don't want to deal with any of it anymore and become a sheep like everyone else. I'm not immune to this statement.
Violence is a key factor to make a change even if people don't like to hear that. People are fooling themselves if a peaceful approach is the better/best approach.
