Exactly what the Globalist agenda is. A One World Government that wants to manipulate our decisions by using our feelings and emotions by trying to throw in some politically correct environmental cause.
Save the whales and all that jazz, but you'll have to give up your US Constitution first.
Pure poppycock. I disagree with you way of thinking. I'll keep my screwed up Democracy over what you've offered any day.
Agenda 21, codex alimentarius,
You had better have a detailed plan and explain it thoroughly first. That is if you ever expect anyone to buy into whatever it is your selling.
Perhaps you just fell for TPTB brainwashing techniques.

Realitysituation.com is my website, and I have a youtube channel:
This is where I'm going to live. This is part one, there is probably enough for a part two, but the rest of the parts never got filmed, because the # got too real to involve something like that. I didn't even take any notes.
This is where I am going to live. There will be a lot more to come.
This is where the videoing stopped. Things were way to real to be carrying that thing around. I am writing all that out now. This is where I am going to live, so I am sure I will be able to do some more filming once I'm settled in. Though we have no idea who is going to edit and post that, or where.

You misunderstood. I'm against the concept of government. I think it should be abolished. It is obviously unsustainable.
That "America is the greatest"? Can you honestly tell yourself that and not feel ashamed?
What do you want? To work in a factory for ten hours a day so you can go home and watch TV and maybe have a few years to relax before you die in a hospital of cancer? Is that your ultimate goal?

Are you still living in the Philippines?
If you are still living there, why are you trying to interfere in American politics?
Why would suggest Americans abandon their current political system?
Dude, to put it bluntly ...you've been brainwashed or more likely are just too young and inexperienced to really know what you're talking about. I really suggest you look into the Globalist agendas. It might be eye opening. Perhaps even awakening
.
I can agree with some of what you're saying. But there is no way the rest of the ideas you expressed are going to fly in this country. It might sound good to your underage Philippine girlfriend or the "tranny" guide on bat poop island. But from here it sounds like you been hanging with too many foreign radicals and choking on too much pot.
I don't know much about Filipino culture.

I didn't misunderstand you.
I could clearly see (in my mind) the "Anarchist" flags waving while read your posts.
Sorry brother, but that is not the way. You're only making the current Government stronger by giving up your voice. If you want a system that works. You have to work within the system.
Abandoning all systems will only lead to chaos and violent clashes for power. Anarchy
That "America is the greatest"? Can you honestly tell yourself that and not feel ashamed?
Tell me why I should be ashamed? I absolutely can feel proud of my country and it's people, even if I don't fully agree with all of the actions of my government.
What do you want? To work in a factory for ten hours a day so you can go home and watch TV and maybe have a few years to relax before you die in a hospital of cancer? Is that your ultimate goal?
What's your ultimate goal? If you're poor or middle class life isn't that different no matter where you are. I too have traveled and experienced different cultures. You have a long road ahead of you if you're planning on abandoning your own culture for some imaginary one you've created in your headedit on 20-2-2012 by ThirdRock69 because: (no reason given)

No, I very much appreciate the ethics and values of tribal society. I just doubt that western civilization is willing to take a 2000 year reversal of the structure of society.
You seem to hold asian culture with some high regard, based on your comments about China. So I will refer you to the I-Ching. A great book about the development of society and how attain enlightenment. If you are not familiar with the I-Ching I suggest you pick up a copy. It's the most widely published book besides the King James Bible.
Let me ask you something. If some people agree with your philosophy and revert back to tribal society. What do you think is going to happen to them?
Do you think TPTB will give up their tanks and jets? Will everyone give up their cars and cellphones and computers? Will we abandon the 30,000 + satellites currently orbiting our planet? Should we stop searching for the next ELE asteroid?
Never going to happen, I find it ironic you call you self an idealist and that we are the ones who are living in some kind of dream or fantasy.
As far as why you should be ashamed for calling America a "great country":
-The Indians
-The Blacks
-The Civil War
-Colonialism
-Neo-colonialism
-Cultural imperialism
-Constant wars with everyone
-Justin Beiber
-etc.
The I Ching is a book of divination. Yarrow stalks and all that
en.wikipedia.org...
Abraham (1999) states that Confucius' ten commentaries, called the Ten Wings, transformed the I Ching from a divination text into a "philosophical masterpiece". It was this form of the I Ching that inspired the post-Warring States Taoists. It has influenced Confucians and other philosophers and scientists ever since.[22] However, Helmut Wilhelm in his Change/Eight Lectures on the I Ching, cautions: "It can no longer be said with certainty whether any of the material—and if any, how much—comes from Confucius' own hand".[23]

You may be an idealist (most people are in their youth) I am a realist and as Dr. Phil would say " Get real".
I am not personally responsible for any of the items you listed so I bear no personal shame. I am outspoken against fascism and war mongers. Corporate greed and corruption in Government. I have no reason to feel shame in those regards.
While I appreciate your sentiment I can not agree with your logic. I know that the only way to achieve a better life for myself and others is to use what God gave me, work hard and contribute to the existing society.
Revolution is of the mind. There will be no success in trying to overthrow the government by violent means or propaganda. They already have those techniques locked down solid. I still believe in Democracy and for the most part we do still have a valid democracy, at the very least on a local scale.
I know from personal experience that huge numbers of Filipino people would love to come to America. So would millions of people from China. If you truly can envision a Global tribal society, please try to explain how we are supposed to get there?
Tribal society only works on a small scale. Once you reach a certain population in any given area. Laws and rules become a necessity. Even tribal societies have their council of elders who mediate arguments between people, families and other tribes. That's still what is know as Government

I think we all can agree that Ron Paul probably won't win the Republican nomination. I think his strategy right now is to gain more recognition and support for his campaign by using the republican platform. He will then probably decide to run as an Independent candidate.
That seems more likely to me. I also see that the time is right for an Independent candidate to step forward and go against the current two party system. I think the political atmosphere is finally ripe for the possibility of an Independent actually being able to win an election.

I think we can agree on many things philosophically. However, we might part ways in ideology and the fundamentals of what creates a well structured, progressive society based in the World we live in today.
We can not go back and change the past. We can only move forward. That being said I do not deny that western civilization committed many wrongs in the past and a lot is still occurring today. I don't think that going on an extended "walkabout" is going to so;ve the problems that society is facing today.
We need people, such as yourself, to stay engage and involved and to speak out about their opinions. But not cast blame or guilt or ridicule upon the past. Most people can see those obvious points and reminding them of ours or theirs ancestors past mistakes does nothing but create more division and obstacles to overcome.
We must be about real solutions. But those real solutions must also be realistic. A tribal society is only realistic if you are secluded and separated from the rest of the World. Which is nearly impossible these days. The ideas of a "new Bohemia" might sound good but absolutely unrealistic in function or attainability.
I understand your hesitancy. But subscribe to my youtubes. It should at the very least be interesting.
