so, my “system” is one of order vs disorder…
that which improves the order of the system is
approved of and that which increases disorder is disapproved of…
we, each of us, exists in a series of systems, politically, economically
and socially…so in the political, that which improves the order of the
system is approved of and that which increases the disorder is disapproved of…
but does that “disapproval” include dissent?
dissent does cause disorder within the society and so, theoretically must
be disapproved of…
not at all, even if dissent does cause disorder within the society/system…
dissent must be part and parcel of any political system, either officially
or unofficially and it would be better if dissent were part of any
political system officially…if fact, it is the genius of the American
political system that the use of dissent is officially protected by
the bill of rights…
the value of dissent is for what must be avoided at all cost, which is
the natural conservatism of “people” to codify values and beliefs and
actions…values in fact, must be changeable and adaptable to
to fit any new changes in society…values are meant to be of value to
to serve the people in their pursuit of “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness”
values are a tool, nothing more, and values must be flexible enough to enable
people to navigate life…dissent is also a tool to help people navigate life…
occasionally we must dissent, to increase disorder to the overall benefit of
the society to which we belong as benefitting society does benefit us
personally…and occasionally, dissent is the means to improve society…
the trick is to know when dissent is the answer and when it is not…
this understanding of when dissent is needed and not needed is the
understanding of political science…
I believe that this is the time for dissent for the forces of government
are engaged in the acts of disorder, which is the exclusion of, the
discrimination of, the refusal to integrate people within society…
laws that discriminate against people, laws that exclude people,
that laws don’t integrate people are acts of disorder against
the benefit of society…and must have dissent against them…
disorder…for to pursue laws against people and their values
is really an act of nihilism… for that is nihilism, the negation of
human values and negating human rights, negating people’s
right to act in their own interest is nihilism…and being able
to pursue one’s own values within such values as tolerance,
and respect and freedom to act is paramount…
in other words…we must pursue justice and freedom as
fundamental properties of a society… justice is the act of
equality and inclusion and freedom is the choices allowed…
and any actions which deny justice or freedom must be fought…
give dissent to…
so laws which deny justice or freedom must have dissent
as their response…we cannot codify any attempt to
deny justice or freedom…we must fight, dissent in any attempt
to legitimize denying justice or freedom…thus we have
a course of action… we allow voting rights, we allow abortions,
we increase toleration and increase justice for all…
freedom and justice is our template for actions as that
is the path to order in our political system…and anything
that denies freedom and justice must have dissent
as it consequences…
