Guest Post: 5 Ways To Unf##k The World
Submitted by Gary 'Z'McGee via The Waking Times,
Here’s the thing: the earth is not f##ked. The earth will go on evolving with or without us. In fact, in many ways it is better off without us. No, it’s the human world that’s f##ked. Either we adapt and overcome by making cooperation primary and competition secondary, or we’re f##ked. It really is that simple. Unf##king the world will not be a walk in the park. It will be a complete upheaval of what we think we know about how human beings are “supposed” to live on this planet. We’ll have to turn the tables on our egos, our so called leaders, and even our loved ones. We’ll have to outgrow being indifferent and get used to being different. We’ll have to awaken and clear outdated, multigenerational patterns that need interrogation and then integration at a higher vibration. Here are five ways to attempt unf##king an otherwise f##ked up world. Without further ado, let the unf##king begin.
1.) Unf##k Yourself
“To be human is necessarily to be a vulnerable risk-taker; to be a courageous human is to be good at it.” –Jonathan Lear

Before you can unf##k the world, you have to unf##k yourself and then lead by example. Start by questioning everything, especially yourself. Meditate on everything, and then let it go so you are free to create something new. Do it to the nth degree. Question yourself so hard and so ruthlessly that your bones ache with doubt and your soul trembles with uncertainty. And then let that doubt and uncertainty go. Question your devotion to an unhealthy, unsustainable lifestyle. Then brainstorm on ways to live healthier and more sustainably. Question why you tolerate and defend unjust, inept, and corrupt systems of human governance. Then free-associate ways to make it more just, more competent, and more honest. A mindf##k a day keeps the brainwash away. Question why you’re not doing what it takes too become healthier in mind, body, and soul. Interrogate your ego. Cross-examine your soul. Then take the answers and apply them to the natural world. Get out into nature and have a deep, interdependent conversation with Mother Nature using a language older than words, and then discard what insults her soul. Her soul is your soul, after all. Like Walt Whitman said, “Re-examine all you have been told at school or church or in any book; dismiss whatever insults your own soul.” Unf##king the world begins at home. If you unf##k yourself again and again, you might earn the right to unf##k the rest of us.
2.) Learn the Subtle Art of Not Giving a f##k
“Humanity has advanced, when it has advanced, not because it has been sober, responsible and cautious, but because it has been playful, rebellious, and immature.” –Tom Robbins

Here’s the thing: we live in a grossly misbalanced, rigid, stuck-in-the-muck, head-up-its-ass Apollonian society. In order to balance it out, indeed in order to tonalize an otherwise atonal world, we need to dig down deep into our wild, playful, laugh-out-loud, humorous, drunken Dionysian energy. A primordial energy that could give two blue shits whether or not the powers-that-be approve of our actions. A primal energy that isn’t worried about pissing off authority or rustling the feathers of militant idiots caught-up in their robotic puppetry while gripping rifle butts and splitting the air with their tyrannical heil-f##kery. An ancient energy that gives zero f##ks about cultural norms and outdated laws and parochial finger-pointers. We learn to accept what we can’t change, but change what we can’t accept. It’s the kind of laugh-out-loud energy that caused the beautiful Betty White (who just so happens to not give a f##k) to say, “Why do people say ‘grow some balls’? Balls are weak and sensitive. If you wanna be tough, grow a vagina. Those things can take a pounding.”
3.) Become a Well-Armed Lamb (Lion)
“Democracy is two wolves and a lamb deciding on what to eat for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote.” –Benjamin Franklin

A well-armed lamb is a lion in sheep’s clothing that has the potential to trump the wolf. A black sheep who has unf##ked themselves out of the illusion of being shepherded and into the reality that the world is what we make of it. “The price of being a sheep is boredom,” wrote Hugh Macleod. “The price of being a wolf is loneliness. Choose one or the other with care.” Or we can choose to be the wise lion and really become a force to be reckoned with. Part of unf##king the world is understanding how the world is put together, and that requires knowledge. A well-armed lamb is a wise lion that cannot be ignored. This type of person knows all the rules, but the rules don’t know them. They are artists par excellence. Their medium is human flourishing. Their canvas is the human condition. Their stage is the world. And nothing can stop them from performing. Paraphrasing Picasso, they’ve learned the rules like a pro, so they can break them like an artist.
4.) Count Coup on Tyranny
“Government is actually the worst failure of civilized man. There has never been a really good one, and even those that are most tolerable are arbitrary, cruel, grasping and unintelligent.” –H.L. Mencken

Democracy’s failure as a form of government is surpassed only by all other forms of government, but that doesn’t get it off the hook as an utter failure. Besides, we don’t even live in a democracy anymore. We live in an especially greedy form of oligarchy known as plutocracy. If orange is the new black, then plutocracy is the new tyranny. And it’s f##king up more shit than any other form of tyranny has in the whole of human history. If there’s ever been a reason to count coup on the enemy, it’s this. You want to unf##k the world? Then get out there and f##k up the unhealthy, unsustainable system that is systematically f##king everything else up. Practice ruthless non-violence and cold-blooded civil disobedience. But be prepared. Cops will hate you. All the spoon-fed comfort-junkies will hate you. All the blood-sucking bipartisan f##kers from f##k town will hate you. Your right-wing, head-up-its-elephants-ass conservative family will hate you. Even your left-wing, head-up-its-ass’s-ass liberal family will hate you. All the haters will hate you. But you know what?
The only people mad at you for speaking the truth are those people who are living a lie. Speak the truth anyway, even if it pisses off everyone you know. Like Gloria Steinem said, “The truth will set you free. But first, it will piss you off.” A huge part of unf##king the world is living by example and showing others how to unf##k themselves. And the only way to do that is to be brutally honest with the truth. Never underestimate the power of planting a seed of truth in a fertile mind. A young wannabe activist once asked me, “What if I get caught?” I said, “Motherf##ker, you’re already caught. What you should be asking is: what if I get free… And what you should be saying is: The fat-faced tyrants of f##kery may win in the end, but I’ll go down slinging my words in free-speech defiance while trumping them with swift circles of non-violence.” MLK Jr. would have been so proud. Okay, maybe not. But Malcom X would have had my back, for sure.
5.) Fall in Love; Kick Ass; Repeat
“Love does not imply pacifism.” –Derrick Jensen
If you’ve learned how to unf##k yourself and you’ve learned the art of not giving a f##k and you’ve become a well-armed lamb and you’re daily counting coup on tyranny, then you, my friend, have the world by the f##king balls. You have achieved the almost immortal status of getting power over power. You are a f##k-sight closer to achieving Ubermensch status than probably 99.999999% of the population. It’s time to fall in love: in love with the moment, with the universe, with your fellow man, even your enemy; a deep, carnal, agape love that shatters all love-molds. It’s the kind of love that sheds the clunky armor of invulnerability and dons the spiritual flexibility of absolute vulnerability. The kind of love that screams: “carpe the f##k out of that diem!” The beauty of being in this kind of love is that it gives you insurmountable courage. The kind of courage that rises up, draws a line in the sand, and declares to all forms of corruption and tyranny, “You no longer have permission to imprison what I love. I am no longer a slave. Nor will I allow you to enslave others. I am the David your overreaching Goliath heart has been waiting for. Your f##kery stops here!” Like Simone De Beauvoir ingeniously opined, “A freedom that is interested only in denying freedom must be denied.”

What the F##k?
The truth will not only not set you free, but in much of the world, including France, it may land you in prison.
It is at that point (as a free man) you start questioning someones authority over you.
French laws are completely fucked regarding speech.
Slaves are not allowed to criticize their masters without consequence.
Skip saying NO for doing NO.
The Betty White quote was worth reading the entire article.
I agree, I WILL be looking up Betty White.
Now, I'm jonesing for Betty White. Curse you ZH!
Smart and sexy, what an awful experience for you! ;-)
Pheeew,
Dear Fellows - Welcome to Project Mayhem

And it and it's ending one-minute at a time
You are not a beautiful and unique snowflake
You are the same decaying organic matter as everything else

You have to give up, you have to give up
You have to realize that someday you will die
Until you know that, you are useless
I say let me never be complete
I say may I never be content
I say deliver me from Swedish furniture
I say deliver me from clever arts
I say deliver me from clear skin and perfect teeth
I say you have to give up
I say evolve, and let the chips fall where they may

+1, of course.
Where is my mind.....
Now you did it!
We no longer have a name!
Time to shave your head with a set of clippers. OH, wait, I already did that.
Went to a HS basketball game on Friday. PA guy says to remove your hat and stand for the National Anthem. I did stand, had my kids with me and didn't think it was worth the potential altercation, but my cap stayed on and my hands stayed at my side. Not quite the non-hitler, but it feels right. Been doing this for a decade. We were sitting next to the student section. Just about every one covered their heart and removed their hats. The programming is strong. People never stop to consider the similarities.
"At a signal from the Principal the pupils, in ordered ranks, hands to the side, face the Flag. Another signal is given; every pupil gives the flag the military salute -- right hand lifted, palm downward, to a line with the forehead and close to it. Standing thus, all repeat together, slowly, “I pledge allegiance to my Flag and the Republic for which it stands; one Nation indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all.” At the words, “to my Flag,” the right hand is extended gracefully, palm upward, toward the Flag, and remains in this gesture till the end of the affirmation; whereupon all hands immediately drop to the side."

kudos rusty, beat me to it!

(p.s kridkrid - wouldn't even get up off my ass for statists. stick to your guns, you never know, one of those HS kids might have asked you why)

Francis Julius Bellamy (May 18, 1855 – August 28, 1931) was a Christian socialist minister ...
I think there is something more to look at here. I know people in government will open events with pledges of allegiance and a prayer. I never considered a Nationalist-Socialist kind of Fervor. BUT, you know some people are very humble and devoted... like they want to be Christian Soldiers, Soldiers for Christ... similarly devote themselves to a Vatican like power.
I wish I knew what was in the minds & hearts of people better.
There still are very old Knights & Orders that pledge to the Pope.
Something religious happened in Germany under the Nazis. We just blow it off as a cult of some kind, but remember the Teutonic Knights took over a whole country and created Prussia. What do we know of the people of Prussia that became Europeans?
What do we know of London's Religious background, and even talk that Masons established the USA. Our US Money even has symbols from Rome and Egypt like the Fasces on the Mercury Dime. Roman Fascist symbol. Strength in the Church, State, Emperor, King. But Religious Leadership. Like Manifest Destiny. American Exceptionalism.
Strangely Wikipedia doesn't really have more, but Julius Bellamy the Socialist said:
He wrote: "[a] democracy like ours cannot afford to throw itself open to the world where every man is a lawmaker, every dull-witted or fanatical immigrant admitted to our citizenship is a bane to the commonwealth.”[6]
And German Political Parties still have Socialist, Christian Socialists.
Christian Democratic Union of Germany, The leader of the party, Angela Merkel, is the current Chancellor of Germany.
The CDU's policies derive from political Catholicism, Catholic social teaching and political Protestantism, as well as fiscal conservatism and national conservatism.
See...Allegiance to a Religious Leader, Hierarchical Organization,... could be as equally as suspicious as Masons (of which I know little).
What is the Agenda of these devoted Nationalist, Socialist Religious Devotees?
CDU was the first proponent of the social market economy.
implemented under Chancellor Konrad Adenauer in 1949.[3] traced to the interwar Freiburg school of economic thought.[4]
strongly inspired by ordoliberalism[6] and the tradition of Catholic social teaching
Adenauer, dubbed "Der Alte" ("the old one"), was one of the oldest democratically elected leaders in world history[citation needed], belied his age by his intense work habits and his uncanny political instinct. A devout Roman Catholic, ... Adenauer, as mayor of Cologne and president of the Prussian State Council,
Oh well. We are mostly from European Blood, and mostly Christians. Discipline & Hard work can cause Envy, so we have to be careful of stomping on the most successful among us. Besides Germany seems very strong at this point, maybe better off than the US jobs-wise.
Rome
yeah i stopped standing for that stupid bullshit. it makes my wife a little uncomfortable. but im big and scary enough that not even some ex-military roid head is going to step to me... you know, for freedome and shit...
Tyler.... Good Read.... made me smile... Thanks
This is going to be one wild fucken ride!!!!
hardcleareye is now smudged with Tylers' browneye.
I so liked this.
wake up from the matrix and fear can be eliminated from your life. funny how disolving your manufactored ego and removing wants in your life is what makes you happy. the trap of gaining more is waisted energy. the more I became successful more I turned into a demanding miserable dick, just expecting more. but as i approached my late 40's the stress and insatiable wants became too much and I wanted out. if you learn to love your trueself, you will need nothing and you will be free. waking up is painful and can take years to go through the many phases. took me three years to disolve the ego, but then another journey begins and further growth takes place.
when I was ready, I came accross Alan Watts. A guy who spent his life searching for the answer to life. an amazing wise and humorous soul. There are others Ram Das, Joseph Cambel, Adyashanti and those who are awake are growing.

Thank you for sharing... I always find the personal journeys taken by others interesting and inspiring.
Thanks for sharing. I also enjoy Ekhart Tolle and Anthony De Mellow...
Agreed .Watts "The Way of Zen" set me on the road a long time ago. He also has an audio collection in itunes - the most expensive but the most valuable I ever bought.
I don't think men of good will can change much, except for themselves and those they meet, but at least they can do no harm.
Meher Baba. Read "Discourses"
I went and check him out. I like the infinate pain balance by infinate bliss. I been to both. he is a bit stuck in seriousness tho, if I met him I would bask in his love radiance but then just bust up laughing to see if he joins in. i guess I am drawn to guru's that have an understanding of rascality balanced with the enternal love.

Very difficult to take this post seriously when it hides behind malattributing a bunch of quotes to Ben Franklin.

"His works are inspired by the great philosophers of the ages.."
Nietzsche says,,, your a fag.
Schopenhauer agrees.
gay's says your nietzche.
Nietche was not gay. He was not a happy camper. he got the part part of the truth that there is no meaning to life. but he did not celebrate this fact, he was not liberated by this perspective because he viewed it as a loss of heaven. but if you truely accept that life has no meaning then it is the freedom that everone is seeking. there is nothing to loose, you became alive with no effort of your own. no effort is needed. control is an illustion. you are just in it for the ride and your thoughts are just commentary. the driver is god/life/universe a force humans can not fully understand. sit back an enjoy the ride. if you relax and open your mind then infinate beauty can be revealed to you. but no hurry, all in due time. be gay, be happy....
Freud told me to tell you he knows you're all secretly gay and sexually attracted to your own mothers.
true, but you don't have to listen to the super ego telling you that you are wrong for thinking it. just think it cus it is natural to do without the secondary thought about the thought, then you are free. free of judgements you are creating. your not going to have sex with your mother just cus you thought about it. why run from somthing that you would nver do anyway. freud would have been gay and happy if he just turned off his super ego.

Why worry what others think? For the most part on average we are pretty fucking stupid. Even the smart ones can be the dumbest fucks around.
I think I was born awake to the bullshit world. Didn't make me a lot of friends. It did make it easy to make people look like fools.
I dared to always ask why and an answer had to be proven. Called a conspiracy nut, bigot, downer, etc. But in the end very rarely called wrong.
Always question everything. Especially CO2 readings taken above an active volcano as proof of global warming, or if a few dozen kids were shot why were there no funerals scheduled, and if stocks seem to go up for no reason on no volume, it is because the buyer has a vested interest in making it look like stocks should be going up i.e. The Fed.
it sounds like most of your problem, all kidding aside, is just that you're a bit of a cunt.
LOL
cunts are not the problem pricks on the otherhand...
Bonobo monkeys are a matriarchal society and live with little fighting as they are egalitarian. When one of the big males starts to bully to get his way, the chicks gang up and take him down. food and sex is shared equally free of bullies. cunts work together, pricks stand alone.
Nice comments which I easily align myself with.
Not subscribing to society's ranks of mindless group-thinkers never makes a lot of friends. But it does at least allow you to sleep at night in the certain knowldge that you are right.
F##K YOU Hippie...and get a f##king proof reader!
Cool at least one person reads my posts!
Nonsense, at least 9 if you count your friends and family.
you chosse spelling over being happy. hummmmm very stange logic, but maybe spelling will serve you in yourlife. I had no use for it working in the video game industry. they never asked for my degree either. I just worked 70hrs a week to prove myself and get ahead. in the end, the money and the partiing was an empty pursuit. so to each his own.
That is a logical fallacy for I can both spell correctly and be happy. ^^
Know what would be a positive in my life..?
The absence of f@#king memes promoting f@#king nonsensical trash in an attempt to replace f@#king common sense... f@#k!! ;-)
Pure mysticism.

"2.) Learn the Subtle Art of Not Giving a f##k"
And once you have mastered it, you're sure not to do anything anymore. Guaranteed. You'll sit with your arms crossed laughing at them.
All from your armchair.
you would be surprised what shows up in life when you lower your walls. the barbarians can not hurt you if you do not believe them and see that life is a joke. just laugh, you'll see the truth.
For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.”
- Marcus Tullius Cicero
That plague is communism.
It will suck the soul out of whole societies whispering sweet nothing in its ear.
No it isn't. You are thinking of communism as embodied in the UUSR, whch was even worse than capitalsim as embodied in today's America.
Uh Oh!
Any moment now you're going to tell us that if "communism" in the UUSR had been implemented properly, it would have been OK.
Thanks, but no thanks. I'll give it a miss :-)
Yes - that's what I am telling you. Communism could have unfucked the world if implemented by super-humans/.
I've greened you, but in honesty communism is only one of the ISMs that are the plague.
Any system of government which seeks to dominate, control, surveil and prescribe to others as to how they shall live their lives is also a plague on humanity. This is what we get with "democracy" and we see it doesn't work.
actually it is greed. greed that exists in any economic system will eat itself. people are not aware of their addictions. if you do not see addiction is yourlife then you are just not aware. fear what may lie within and then you will have met your most effective enemy, yourself.
Oh blah ma is the traitor.
"But it cannot survive treason from within."

Good morning to all my fellow Zero Hedge seekers,, this week I am the moderator for my Edgar Casey online study group, and here is the "Thought for the Day".
"All knowledge is to be used in the manner that will give help and assistance to others, and the desire is that the laws of the Creator be manifested in the physical world." Edgar Cayce reading #254–17
One of Edgar Casey's most famous precepts is "thoughts are things" ... now get out there you pussies, and unfuck the world. Love and visions to all ...
What a load of garbage. Malcolm X as someone to emulate? The communist? In what country have blacks ever created a good government or a good anything? Everything these monkeys touch turns to shit.
Execpt for the monkey in you, that is.
Sounds like someone has been reading too many Crimethinc manifestos...

Sounds like an article on how to become an extremest and get thrown in prison.
Abolish all Central Banking.
Hunt down and hang every Rothschild (Man, Woman and Child)
Lastly, if you can't speak the language; GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE COUNTRY!!!
Time for a Hartman

"Let's see, how many more fake quotes can I attribute to Founding Fathers today?"
-Benjamin Franklin
Seriously, though. Cut it the fuck out. It makes your inspiring prose look like propagandistic, dishonest drivel.
This was a very pleasant read
I was thinking the author loves to hear himself prattle on.
Oh, and Gloria Steinem's Ms. Magazine was a fucking CIA subcontractor. Even the presstitutes over at Bloomberg seem to know as much.

Half this "movement" is being overtly turned into Fascist fucks, the other half into feel-good, do-nothing hippie dippies who like quoting CIA subcontractors from the 60s because they're too historically ignorant to do some damn homework.
Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right...
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you.
"Gloria Steinem's Ms. Magazine was a fucking CIA subcontractor."
Yup. Rockefeller Foundation was behind that one.
A young wannabe activist once asked me, “What if I get caught?” I said, “Motherf##ker, you’re already caught. What you should be asking is: what if I get free… And what you should be saying is: The fat-faced tyrants of f##kery may win in the end, but I’ll go down slinging my words in free-speech defiance while trumping them with swift circles of non-violence.”
I don't think I agree with this. You may be able to deal with "force" through non-violence ... and you may be able to deal with "lies" through non-violence; but you "can't" deal with force "and" lies through non-violence. It takes "violence and truth" to deal with that combination. Otherwise you just "go down slinging words" ... typically in solitary confinement.
Didn't even read, the nat socs were right, the bad guys won world war 1 and 2. article is trash
Smoke a bowl.
Je suis THAT fucking guy! Charlie don't surf!
The world might just unfuck itself someday. Mercenaries are expensive and when the money doesn't flow they often turn on their paymasters.
If just doing the right thing ever goes mainstream, the bad guys have no chance against the armed sheep contesting the vote.
I agree with some of Gary Z's views, but he needs to realise that in order to change a system of tyranny, first the current system has to be demolished.
You cannot build a new house on top of an existing one.
Maybe Auditing what is going on is a way to speak the truth.
Transparency on a local level seems to work fairly well. All the Military, Government, Banking, and Corporate Systems are supposed to be designed for Auditing.
Politics, Money in Politics, Money as a side deal for anything screws everything.
How about a New Foreign Policy to go with a new Domestic Policy centered on the Idea that Money & Gift Giving & Funding Radicals is forbidden. No more State Department or CIA funding Coups, Radicals, or Government Leaders abroad. And no more soft money in politics, gift giving in politics/universities/doctors/justices, and no more funding radical social movements in the USA by anyone.
*** Then it is Time to START AUDITING ***
And by the way Audit Free Trade, NAFTA, CAFTA-DR, and Chinese Labor, if you can't then forbid it.
When agencies of the State actually lie to Congress and never tell the truth to anyone, I can't see them opening up to public audit. And who would issue and enforce such an order? The judiciary? I don't think so because they're in it too. They all operate inside a tightly controlled Matrix.
"Either we adapt and overcome by making cooperation primary and competition secondary." Yeah, that's how the Rockefeller's and OPEC think.
If Betty White truly didn't give a f**k, she wouldn't be holding the flowers.
To be a vulnerable risk-taker is to ask to get f**ked.
"Get out into nature and have a deep, interdependent conversation with Mother Nature using a language older than words." Are you asking us to take a dump in public?
"Besides, we don’t even live in a democracy anymore." Never did. "A Republic, Madam, if you can keep it."
Useless tripe. Philosopher, it figures.
