'Yes, Whatever You Say Master.' Obedience and Citizen Compliance with Trivial Demands: A Masktard Compilation Covering the Past 2 Years
/According to FUNKTIONARY:
citizens – those who instinctively seek permission or ask themselves whether or not they are allowed to do anything before they act. Citizens (serfs, subjects or slaves), possess a “ruled” mind-virus mentality. 2) the hapless residents of the great democracy whose Constitution deliberately throttled democratic rule. (See: Citizenship, Plutocracy & Slavery)
obedience – a Self-Other irreversible relationship in which there is only communication (mind-to-mind), i.e. no contact, and an imbalance of power. 2) the highest form of the power-fear systemic. 3) slavery sold to both children and adults alike deceptively packaged in a respectfully sounding label. 4) reverse terrorism. You can compel obedience but you cannot compel responsibility or respect. Everyone should have a say in waking-up to (or waking up from) whatever they have been programmed to obey. It is difficult to reduce to obedience anyone who has no wish to command. If you can’t read very well and follow it up with the absence of critical thinking skills, then obey your masters and oppressors until you can—for your own survival. Life is more trouble-free when you obey. If you speak TV-English, by all means obey the beast, if you like freedom of movement with your slavery. TV’s ought to have warning labels: “Use of this device can be hazardous to your freedom.” How can you take a man seriously who watches T.V. obediently, drinks habitually and desires freedom too? The historian Howard Zinn is clear on the role obedience has played on our conditions throughout the centuries. “[Civil disobedienc] is not our problem. Our problem is civil obedience. Our problem is that numbers of people all over the world have obeyed the dictates of the leaders of their government and have gone to war, and millions of people have been killed because of this obedience. …Our problem is that people are obedient all over the world in the face of poverty and starvation and stupidity, and war and cruelty. Our problem is people are obedient while the jails are full with petty thieves, and all the while the grand thieves are running the country. That’s our problem.” More atrocities are commited in the name of economics than in the name of hate, ideological or religious intolerance.

disobedience – thinking for oneself—deciding for oneself what to do and not to do. 2) the refusal of services of those in power—to deny their alleged authority over you. The Beast allows you to be disobedient or ignorant but not both. Disobedience is the only crime—all others are offshoots. (See: Prometheus, Rights, Thinking, Thought & Rebel)
disobedient – master over one’s thoughts and acting on same relative to the dominating recidivism of authoritarian culture.
