Now I know what your thinking, he is making that up right? Wrong = https://matadornetwork.com/read/german-cafe-reopens-makes-customers-wear-pool-noodles-hats/
So I was having a conversation with an old friend on facebook that has just come off a farcebook ban, his crime? The usual = hate speech.
What did he say that was so offensive? He called gay men sausage - bum lovers. Without out using the word "gay".
So we got into a debate, and this is where you all come in.
With political correctness and the new normal being (in the west, not here) that you can self identify, we got into a debate on what you can and can not say.
Now as most people will be aware, if they do not live under a rock, the most offended people always seem to be white.
I do not see black people being offended every day, nor do I see Asians screaming shut up I am offended.
So we got into what terminology people are offended by and why. Take the word Paki, it is short for Pakistani in the UK. In years gone by, it was normal for a guy like me to call his Pakistani mate a paki to his face, he would call me a white honky, we would laugh and go and have fun.
Now if anyone overheard me saying that in this day and age, they would be outraged, and most probably be white. That mate also used to call himself a paki, but that is OK yes?.
So if I self identify, which is the new normal right, and I do so as a Pakistani, can I say paki as often as I like?.
See what I did there?.
And if I tomorrow self identify as a black gay woman who is a feminist, can I then let rip on Lesbians & women who do not do as I do or think like I do, for a day, until I decide my next self label for the following day?.
In a world that is increasingly run by lunatics, and the asylum on full meltdown, nothing is off the table, is it?.
Devolution.
Now as much as I have been writing in print, to put out a book with regards to society and how we change it to self determination not leaders and government, for obvious reasons like above. One word was really all I required to cover everything, and that word is "devolution".
So how can we get out of a world run by lunatics named leaders, and get back to self determination, and making victimless crimes exactly that?. Easy I think now, with one stumbling block, politicians being that obstacle.
I suppose a starting point, to change things without violence, is getting devolution onto a ballot.
What is devolution you may ask if you like, here is the answer below.
- "Devolution is the statutory delegation of powers from the central government of a sovereign state to govern at a subnational level, such as a regional or local level. It is a form of administrative decentralization. Devolved territories have the power to make legislation relevant to the area and thus granting them a higher level of autonomy." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devolution
If we can get devolution as an option at the ballot, instead of just people we have never met, will never likely meet, and allowing them to ruin our lives from a central place we are not allowed to visit, like Parliament in the UK, then we stand a chance to self determine at a local level.
Boris defuffle Johnson in the UK has been talking about such a thing, a link below, but the trouble with his version, is it would still be centrally funded via London, and parliament, with tax payers funds. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7458323/Boris-Johnson-promise-new-areas-devolution-North-boost-local-economy.html
Another thing I consider a must is getting rid of people termed politicians, and replacing them with self.
A central anything like a bank, that prints money from thin air, and loads it with debt, is also a must go. Fiat currency backed by nothing will always revert back to face value, nought, nil, nothing.
So local banks, in a devolution world would be required, to be backed by something tangible, be it on demand - coal, gold, or anything that is made at a local level, any refusal to pay via money, could be demanded in goods, what ever you have decided at a local level to back your money with would be the default setting.
We only have to go back a few hundred years and local banks printing their own money were the normal, in Ireland they still are, and even Scotland prints it's own version of the £.
Local banks were wiped out when tax was introduced in England. Which is another "thing" a devolution world could lose all together, and be replaced with a local fund via a local bank, to deal with local issues like roads, street lights etc.
Without faceless liars called politicians, there would be a lot less strain and drain on banks, as there would be no need to line their pockets with expenses, two homes and everything else including all that air travel.
If we had devolution, everyone at a local level would have a say in everything local. The part to work out is how we would go about asking everyone for said opinion on a daily or weekly basis.
Courts could be taken in the England and Wales back to common law, and local magistrates only, ending the sates obsession with judges who are closely aligned to the government in courts named crown court.
There would be no need for permissions called licenses either with central everything gone, so we could fish under common law, to feed our own.
If we take Switzerland as a comparison to other countries, arming or the right to be armed for every citizen without the need for a permit, has always worked well. Do not let your levels of resentment get in the way here, judge others as you are willing to judge yourself.
"The Swiss Difference: A Gun Culture That Works1"
"The country had one mass shooting in 2001, but a resulting anti-gun referendum failed to pass. The Swiss will not give up the gun. Can their system work in the U.S.?" https://world.time.com/2012/12/20/the-swiss-difference-a-gun-culture-that-works/
I know a lot of people resent other people and are terrified of letting society work it's self out without politicians, but think about the advantages, it is not anarchy we seek, it is self determination. Via common law, a law that has worked well for centuries.
If you are not willing to discuss devolution and putting the onus on self, and on you being willing to embrace freedom, a true freedom, then you are letting down, self!.
If you are unwilling to take responsibility for your local vicinity, should you even be there?.
I have a lot more to add to this but a limit on time, so will call this devolution part1, please feel free to put your ideas and thoughts below, peace and out.
No time to spell check, so it is what it is and as is.
