3-Fold #Neoliberal Punishment System (SUMMERY)

Neo-Libs introduced (at least) 3 impersonal measures, to assure people act in a neoliberal way:

1) Rating agencies
2) Creating money only by state debts (gov. bonds)
3) Money value by international demand and offer

#Disobedience leads to 3 layers of double punishment.

i think people have a hard time imagining a society not based on control, punishment, competition, scarcity, and the threat of state violence, because those are the norms they were raised under since childhood. it frames and colors every observation a person makes. people have to remove hierarchy and aggression from their personal relationships and work spaces before they are able to imagine a new society without these things. are human beings savage beasts that must be controlled? even our understanding of animals is contorted by this world view. it may be impossible to realize a new society without committing to a change in how we do everything - eat, clothe & shelter ourselves, what we do with our shit, etc. like one of my recent songs says, "shit always runs downhill". as i am aging and losing energy for most types of direct action, i find the practice of #refusaltocomply and #disobedience to be key factors to getting out from under the boot.

Fixing broken, malfunctioned or old electronic stuff, nowadays is a mandatory act. Any time we fix something we are elongating the usage and something new is not going to be sold; the user is happy; less new materials are going to be spoiled; your skills, knowledge and experience are going to increase.
It is a humble and silence #disobedience act against the endless greed of #capitalism; It's an act that cares about the #environment.

Please if you have the knowledge and the skills, fix all the things that you could, teach others, and if you do don't, then learn how to do it, there is a lot of info in the internet.

Let's keep #repairing, let's keep hacking the planet!

A quotation from Repplier, Agnes:

«««««
A man who owns a dog is, in every sense of the word, its master; the term expresses accurately their mutual relations. But it is ridiculous when applied to the limited possession of a cat. I am certainly not Agrippina’s mistress, and the assumption of authority on my part would be a mere empty dignity, like those swellin…

I wholeheartedly accept the motto that: «the best government is the one that governs least» and I would like to see it put into practice as soon as possible. In fact it means nothing other than what I have always believed in, that is: «the best government is the one that does not govern at all».

When the men will be ready, they can organize themselves like this. Government is mostly a gimmick; but whatever form it takes, government is often, if not always, a liability.

A quotation from Shawcross, Hartley:

«««««
Political loyalty, military obedience are excellent things, but they neither require nor do they justify the commission of patently wicked acts. There comes a point where a man must refuse to answer to his leader if he is also to answer to his conscience.

#Business schools must teach the value of #disobedience over #climate

PS: A brave recommendation. I used to teach a seminar on #CivilDisobedience and I'd love to see even one business school do the same. But I won't hold my breath.

FWIW, my article on civil disobedience for the 1999 Garland Encyclopedia of the #Philosophy of #Law.

Disobedience, in the eyes of anyone who has read history, is man’s original virtue. It is through disobedience that progress has been made, through disobedience and rebellion.

Oscar Wilde - The Soul of Man Under Socialism

“#Freedom and the capacity for #disobedience are inseparable; hence any social, political, and religious system which proclaims freedom, yet stamps out disobedience, cannot speak the truth.”—Erich Fromm, 1962
