You missed the point of the point about how “TG” is an expression and extension of individual personality and group character. You obviously have anarchistic-nihilistic-cynical tendencies, hence your definition that government is “a violent gang of criminals”, which many other people will readily disagree with, or simply, describe in other ways. Your society, on the other hand, is western liberal democracy. So when I say “will of the people”, you incorrectly presume that I meant the will of the voting masses, when I did not imply that. By “will of the people”, I meant specifically, the will of those who represent government, according to the subjective interpretations and definitions by which people conceive of “The Government”.
So you disassociated the concepts. For you, personally, you believe “the will of the people” (western democracy) is not the will of “TG” (the violent gang of criminals). Obviously that’s what you intended, but not what I intended. I retorted by correcting you. I’m talking about “the will of the people, of the government, so as you define it, that would be the will of the people of the violent gang of criminals”.
That you disassociate the concepts, leads me to believe that you suffer from victim-mentality. You probably believe that you are a victim of “TG”, and so, would claim that the will of the people is other than the will of the “violent gang of criminals” who, you probably blame, as dominating your life.
I would psychoanalyze you further. Something happened in your childhood and adolescence, probably bullied by a “violent gang of criminals/thugs”, and so, from those early life experiences, now you define “The Government” according to your personal and subjective, negative emotions and reactions. And this formulated your understanding of “TG” ever since, throughout your life. So perhaps now, you simply lack the imagination of how “TG” could be anything else but “a violent gang of criminals”.
You’re ignorant. You’re not listening to me, the OP, or much of anything. You’re not learning either.
Because if you had listened, had read and understood my points, then you would have caught early on, for example, how to a christian “The Government” means something entirely different than what you mean, what you intend, and your life experiences. The life of an average christian, attending church, believing in those mythologies and indoctrination, will conceive of “TG” as some type of spiritual, Holy Order, in which abrahamic-god is the Absolute Authority. Furthermore, there are many other types of government, and conceptions of government.
However it seems useless for me to engage you if you cannot recognize this simple and obvious fact. Even a mere disagreement, and ulterior definition of government, is enough to prove me right. If anybody believes that government is other than “a violent gang of criminals” (like what, Bloods and Crypts fighting each other in Los Angeles?) then it proves my point that “The Government” is an extension of these deeper concepts, and especially, the conception of “Authority”.
People base their understanding of “TG” on life experiences, directly related to, and what they can understand of, Authority.
I’d like to discuss these matters further with others here, but nobody is willing. So I can only hope these points strike you with some sense.
Are you incapable of empathizing with others??? Do you have a hard time understanding that other people do not live “in your world”? That some people have “good, better, easier” lifestyles in which they are not nihilistic, and happily invest in the system, because cooperation benefits them, when it does not benefit you? Or that your choice to resist against “TG” is your own, personal responsibility. And so you truly have no reason nor cause to be cyncial, because you choose your life?
However I don’t want to strip you away from your victim-complex…just yet. Are you tired of being a victim? Don’t you want power and control over your own life? Are you a man of your word? How can a woman or child depend on you, if you can never and will never depend upon yourself? Are you destined to be completely and utterly alone until you die? Is that what you want, or do you prefer “more”, “better”? Want to fuck a beautiful woman? Do you think a beautiful woman would fuck a guy who can’t take care of himself, has no power, no authority, no control over his own life? Do you think women would ever respect that?
Etc.
