Fear is the mind killer

My opinion:

If you look throughout history, most revolutions and political unrest have been fermented by the middle classes.

The middle classes are angry, seeing their country bombed by a constant FEAR, FEAR, FEAR, CONFORM, CONFORM, CONFORM mantra that comes from government through its placid minions in the media.

Any respite, any relaxation of the pressure (red tape, box ticking, regulation, bin overfilling punishments, PCN's, fear mongering, Community wardens etc) will allow the middle classes to THINK, to QUESTION and to practice the fine art of non compliance.

They have to keep us in fear.

Fear of terrorists
Fear of losing our jobs
Fear of losing our money
Fear of the opinions of others
Fear of arrest and prosecution.

Without the fear, they have no control.  Without control, the system they have developed unravels.  They are ramping up the fear and the pressure because of what is coming.  They are trying to get a situation where the middle classes feel so overwhelmed they will by psychologically broken, bend over and just take it willingly.  What is coming is the very real risk of an economic and financial tsunami of epic proportions.

Unfortunately for TPTB, the more they squeeze, the more people stand up and shout F*CK IT.  You get to a point where the ethical individual, the conscious soul can take no more.  You sit down and refuse to take any further part in the system, and by your peaceful non cooperation you clog up the system, you throw yourself upon the wheels and the gears and the levers, until the system no longer works. 

I believe they have misjudged their psychological tactics.  They have pushed too hard, too fast and the cognitive dissonance is now overwhelming.  We are now asking how this great fecking elephant got into the living room.

This is one of the reasons I keep going on about attaining financial Independence.  Imagine the power you would have, under the threat of all these regulations, box ticking exercises and barbed wire masquerading as red table to be able to look calmly at your financial statement and laugh because you knew you no longer NEEDED to work.

You could wave at TPTB with one finger and walk away if you wanted to.
