Since i’m in a slighty more mundane phase at the moment, i’ve decided to share my thoughts on #FeesMustFall on this forum. If your interests are as they should be, exlusively spritual, this post is not for you, since it mostly concerns my current political thoughts which are apt to change quite easily.
I think firstly that the seeming popularity of this movement amongst students, demonstrate a lack of understanding(or maybe it’s a different viewpoint) of what goverment actually is. Hopefully this explanation will be simple enough. We were all born somewhere, as far as I know at this point, not by choice. A large number of people with weapons then demanded that your parents register your birth (no choice), give you a name(You had no choice) and declare you an asset of a corporation known by the name of your country. From this point forward, you are placed in a training and obedience center, usually for 12 years in order to become a willing and able accomplice to abovementioned people with weapons. If you go in for some extra training, they will trust you with more power to control others, your opinion will count more than those without extra brainwash (you will be considered an authority figure or media idol). You then get to slave away at keeping their unsustainable system running until you wear out and die.
If you have read the above with understanding, you should be able to deduce that whilst I applaud any efforts to fight the class system which is re-enforced by keeping the poor uneducated, there is no point in destroying a current system of knowledge distribution(which is what you are doing) in favor of the exact same system except now, I have to sponsor your brainwash and it’s fully controlled by masses of people (democracy!) with weapons? It’s bad enough that I am somehow expected to help you survive and to sponsor your initial 12 year programming cycle, now you expect more programming and I must pay for it? Do you realise you are fighting to make the system worse?
