I'm Mad as Hell (Network, film made in 1976 and still what we could use today)

"Keep working harder than ever!" ...or retracting your labour (slowly or suddenly strike)
Always comes back to retracting your labour (slowly or suddenly) as one of few real ways to take back power / really protest / put spanner in the works...
*it's not easy surviving but knowing they set it up that way and it doesn't end at poverty (and it gets worse) means looking at other ways *without* the rich or banks involved who don't care frankly.
So I care by saying:
"Keep working harder than ever!"
Ever digging debt holes for yourself and making riches bosses and banks richer 100% doesn't work even to survive because there more than that at stake!
Keep working harder than ever*... For the banks and rich!

My problem is the lack of will from others to make this world or their job conditions better...
My problem is the lack of will from others to make this world or their job conditions better.
So not just accepting brick wall but another way... Not even action right now but continual will and intention first as the minimum.
It's not just what bad people do, it's what the good people don't do
It's not just what bad people do,
it's what the good people don't do.
It's not just what bad people do,
it's what the good people don't do.
Solutions I mean are
● talk about it (make a start NOT silence)
● regularly do this 1hr a week or whatever with parents etc
● and really don't stand for it... even if you don't do something now DON'T LET IT GO AND OFF THE HOOK SO EASILY!
In a chess game of selling our souls, everyone loses.
In a chess game of selling our souls, everyone loses.
Or just selling it / giving permission means everything gets more expensive.
(natives had land first).
This sentiment comes from seeing people thinking 'normal' life is mostly respectable when we
● steal things or allowed others to do it 'legally"
● sell our body for money inside unknown people chains using 'money' many don't even understand
● sell things for money (body, mind, spirit, our children?)
And I'm not saying don't sell at all.
My main problem is lack of will and time invested by good people to fix what they can.
When people start to accept all of it. ...
... and actually become part of the bad (under softer colours)... then it affects my life...
RUG PULLING... You think _your country name_ is safe but it's just like another company that can be bought and RUG PULLED too!
You think your in _your country name_ but the country you live in can also change investors or finance suddenly like a company bought / partially owned / changing owners / shareholders and stock majority saying / inferring the way people should follow.
Worst of this realisation a name can stay the same, for example "Thailand" could any day now be run by Chinese or American investments/vompanies if not already... so the battle ground of taking ground is still among us!
Like any company _your country name_ usually goes where money is and almost needs the larger take over and tactical games for them to exist (as US can do instantly to almost kill countries via embargo/ bans so people want to stay on side with their sources of existance).
Unless _your country name_ really enjoys it's own land without others AND doesn't exploit you with banks on its own home soil, then it's a bad game all around and bound to get bought and in trouble with the debt that banks bring to the table.
Maybe you think "A lot more money is needed to buy outright _your country name_" but install a bank here and there and your set with people walking in to buydong ebt putting a wedge everywhere debt is and just hammering to crack the country over time.
So main message here is:
Finance tends to fuck people up!
[Or disempower or some word here, disrupt... no err dis.... something].
More companys are getting bought, changing ownership and therefore changing FLAGS!...
even just to put good opposition to sleep or spy on them for data, it's all bad.
It's not just Thailand that can be theoretically bought simply by investing there, but my fear is that if any country puts enough money (or tech) then people will suddenly not mind or just follow the order thinking not much has changed.
●What would you do quit your job if your job becomes US /CHINA/NON-DOMESTIC BASED ? Quit your lifeline for life's survival?
...of course not!
How many restructures have you gone through in jobs? I feel this is part the same process when someone at the top shakes hands ...with US devils or deals or any superpower ( though US and similar ares top brute force / elbows-in players you don't want to play American Football with)
SUMMARY
Company take overs...
Country take overs... why not?
A few Company take overs and you're in...
With same country name but underneath different countries companies, I feel like nobody would notice or just shrug...
Where you live and have supply of the work may feel secure but to me right now as things change more or were always fragile it's just increasingly exploited with more and more techniques and science/methodology of banking improved.
(That and people not seeing money as a way to undermine/devalue/RUG-PULL everything).

Matrix Thoughts - The Film vs. The Reality (a way of counting & control)...
PART 2...
A good reminder is that systems are a residue of what dead people left behind (dead as in designers / architects / decision makers / even those that 'did inaction' ...from Queen's inaction to every day lemon inaction).
Today's design and inactionthe is why it can continue to get worse and even harder to be undone while bad layers are added - it's not a simple Edit|Undo or rollback to what actually we know know is better for humans where we might have overcooked things in name of mechanical reasoning)
To finish this with a clever Matrix thought
and without looking elsewhere...
Q● The Matri× title is just a portmanteau mashup of Machine-Metrics with x on the end ?
END OF PART 2... :)
P.S
If you have collected great Matrix comments or explanations (in the context of the 'business of control') then let me know / reply!

Knowing is the first step.
Why wouldn't you want to know?
Matrix meaning Trapped by Numbers ( a way of counting or valuing things according to uncaring people...)
Matrix means a way of counting or valuing things. (Varied meanings exist).
Matrix, as the film, is also titled around this mesh of control... and what a matrix achieves (Total control / Totalitarian control).
The agents could be seen as intersecting points of a mesh and control points. And that's how things a locked down.
A matrix is a system in itself and therefore this seems very telling... but perhaps as film titles and systems often are, it might not have been obvious to me or you we're in deeper than even Matrix fans & watchers thought!...
♡ I would love to hear what you think if I'm ahead of my time or behind...
I haven't read or copied this and spent much of my life figuring out the numbers game and how conquering people using numbers & control works and how people's perception can still remain that "things are kind of not ok I know but kind of not that bad either c'mon!"
PART 2 IN ANOTHER POST

Matrix - Trapped by Numbers
It's about changing / opening our minds...
I give people time and I thnk that's the difference to others online who really don't have or give time and give up on people really easy... (don't mean to be competitive, no put-downs, just I more dedicate time to others and weave us together).
So you don't even have to read any of this because EVERYTHING needs time + communication and without that a lot is broken and even less human even if it's for good...
Just follow and put notifications on to TEST MY FEED.... the rest below is just over-info for most poeple.
Open Learning School or Freedom University...
------------------------------------
A lot you might be at length and depth, but if you're easy about it, you can take the best and even take me along to understand life with others!
To learn and do everything practically! (this is a practical living (and gets stuff done as much as we can).
Fan of Fediverse!
Quick Look - peace-loving work / services:
█ Mini-Podcast (few mins each, examples below)
█ Picture remixes / video remixes
█ Lessons without being too 'teacher' about it. Teacher has teeth for eliminating doubt.
█ Food for thought as gentle soul also.
█ Unique ideas - often impossible for professionals (they are burdened by financial repsonsibility and therefore associational risk in saying things). I'm more diverse and occasionally direct (with respect, though I don't shy away from reminding people).
█ Not too embarrassing to say "I don't know" but can still chase things.
█ More responsive than casual users usually because people think having 'job' is enough in life. I say it's not! And even faimily is of no use if it's only getting worse (in everything!).
Podcast Examples:

I help people create audio / edit educational audio / podcast / music / visual short videos / transcript text
+ I like to add a bit humour while being quite strict in my own politics (opinions) but open / inviting for others to tell me what I should do if they can explain more than just a short comment (I don't mind it's healthy for me at least if you have logic and can stand yourself explaining).
FreeSchool is about Learning towards Freedom (which is about Uniting everyone slowly, even "1 by 1"... Easy with The Fediverse!
Not virtue signalling here only, but practise of EVERYTHING as we go. Judged by getting in contact (many have) and having courage to communicate (or seeking it from others is ok, EVERYONE needs a bit of courage or hand-holding to make big personal changes). Who else is there for example if family doesn't understand?
Learning and watching can be good and staying out of people's way, BUT better is doing something every day and helping each other with some tough decisions / lessons... and then being bold enough to do them. 1... 2... 3 that is all that's needed.
Let my posts do most of the talking.
Put me on notification (click bell that appears after follow ia accepted) and if it's not interesting switch off after and tick me off the list of potential people to follow daily!
Media version of my posts here... open link for later... good for visual scrolling version and judge me on that I don't mind...
https://qoto.org/@freeschool/media
I'm usually impressed with my media gallery as I work on posts a lot usually or hit the "Aha!" moments and capture it (other people may forget it for years, not me!).
Freedom is about *making it work together* better like using #Mastodon on the #Fediverse daily for better platforms with more #bestpractices and 'best' people to help us which I kind of collect here and
when it's #1 comment!
I am measurably better because I reply and stick to everything to the end(!)
No cancelling friendship suddenly without saying why or being moody!
Freedom is to Learn, Respect and Love eventually and ️to Unite!
Practically it's also like Tetris - add yourself to the puzzle and watch it all happen...
█▬▄▀ ╚ ╦ ╝╠╧
talk more on Mastodon and the Fediverse and puzzle it all out using better ways to less use the other bad commercial / extractive people...
L£$$ of the less caring people like the ggl's / ytb / gmail / mainstream communication points etc who are offering lots of space 'free' and it's not free of peace there.
We GIVE to real people (TIME NOT JUST MONEY).
There's no buy-in solution - we have to make it with selotape or whatever we have - it's not shameful to bring whatever you have.
FreeSchool is terminology put together from many good things from past (coined in 1950's/60's. I / we become it eventually through being.
It's a movement for Freedom via Learning it all (learning self included and less active stuff) and doing the learning *together* --> https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Freeschool.
I encourage you warmly to participate with me as a I have time and then spiral out naturally to others (we are part of humanity and so naturally a sort of evangelism or ecological pyramid of life as we choose to spread lesser suffering while accepting consuming is part of it).
Less-commercial in orientation (in everything) and happy to think / work for free.
Naturally you will hesitate if someone is sure of themself or ok standing on shoulders what we copy do the best from humbly but not too sterile either.
Based on just emotions ruins almost everything, which seems very common - very ungraceful - so don't disconnect... do it gracefully at least!
A "school" of thought is here you can interact / ask and make best together as free/low cost as possible.
Even a bad answer you can take best from (of course I won't know all your situation when I suggest something but I don't need to answer 100% - you also need to help me!).
Leave perfectionism, we are all imperfect humans! Let's do it... Choose something ANYTHING and keep the thoughts rolling together...!
