You Have A Choice

The powerful, their servants, & those desperately clinging to the lie of American exceptionalism don’t want you to realize that you have a choice.

If you want a world without the hatred and violence required to maintain the power and privilege of a few, want to live without the hopeless descent into extinction, and desire a culture free of control and oppression; you can choose to reject it.

You can choose what that looks like for you. What do you believe? Who do you stand with? What you are willing to do to fight back? It’s up to you.

It’s not always an easy choice. But life is complicated, impermanent, and uncertain anyway. We do not get a choice about the results once we start fighting back. We don’t know how others will react to our decision. But all that doesn’t negate that fact that we are free to choose.

Authoritarians, religious fanatics, and those that choose to believe the lie can never take that away. So they want us to forget, or even better, never realize we have a choice in the first place. They present a mask of inevitability so that you will continue to choose to support the theft of our wealth while it kills you and everything you love.

Once you realize that you have a choice, make it, and begin to act on it; you are free of them. You are living a life based on your terms not theirs. If this sounds dangerous, it is. That is the price of freedom, living dangerously. It is beautiful.
