dobler 34: FEAR of the ESTABLISHMENT

In my efforts to be able to speak about a topic that is pertinent to my philosophical position, I must clarify an initial preface to make clear my thoughts on this globally impacting issue.

It is my belief that the establishment isn't a Mecca for the conglomerate capitalists who monopolize the world in which we live. Yet, however, the establishment is the reason for why I concern myself with the words and topics such as corporateism and mainstreamology. It is my understanding that the establishment is much more than a fundamental idea passed down from one generation of "go-getters" to another. Moreover, it is a pattern of thoughts that possess a nation of believers into heresy if one nay sayer of this idea opposes said thought process. The establishment can be anything and cannot be anything. Therefore, there is no real establishment. But, if there is no real establishment, why do so many people complain about this force which reckons havoc upon the masses?

As previously stated, the establishment, or otherwise known by such names "the man, yuppies, and the Clinton's", is a cleverly crafted position that is as inanimate as your PC. However, just like your computer, it is still heavily intelligent and thoroughly complicated. The establishment could be something or might be nothing, or possibly everything. There is no real way to be sure, but in an attempt to inform you of this, I will expound upon these ideas a little more specifically.

Now that we've clarified what the establishment could be, I'd like to use detailed examples of what it could and could not be. You could be the establishment. The government could be the establishment. Your school could be the establishment. Your best friend could be the establishment. Anything could be the establish. But, it really seems like we're taking a fatalistic approach to understanding this view. Sociologically speaking, the demise or success of our community could or could not, hypothetically, initially, racially, cognitively, unabashedly, et cetera, be affected by this idea. But, psychologically, the fate of our existence is more dependent on what you think and what you stand for. So what makes you the victim? What must one be dependent upon to fight this ever endangering escapade of engaging economics? Self. Regardless of whether the establishment could be good or bad, you must remain headstrong. Wait... the establishment could be a good thing as well? Maybe.

An example of the establishment being a positive could be our government. I love democracy... Woah, wait a minute! Didn't you say the government could be the establishment? Yes I did. But, does that make democracy a terrible idea? No. It's the order in which our country's legalities flow. We have to accept certain things, but that doesn't mean you have to buy everything they're selling.. Am I a poser for saying the government is cool? As a advocate for anti-establishment, I suppose I should be an anarchist. That kind of nihilism is just depressive. Plus, if I later find out that the government is the establishment, there will still be time to overthrow it. For now, we'll just work within the system.

So, how can you prevent yourself from being a proponent of brainwashing. Well, buying into the lies is what spreads the disease. But, you can protect yourself. Using knowledge can protect you against the deadly virus and can help you prevent yourself from contracting it. Making yourself aware is the key. By believing in this hierarchy of falseness is the only way you can be sucked in. Buying into the ideas of the machine that these sellers-of-sales want you to purchase makes you the victim. How can you avoid such a downfall into despair?

Think for yourself.

Not shopping at trendy stores and abhorring top 40 music is one way I avoid the establishment. It's obvious I do not support it's silly notions. Plus, it might not all be byproducts of the establishment itself. I do what I can though. But that doesn't mean that it's solving all the problems. We, as a people who advocate freedom of the thought, despise the establishment. It is our duty to remain focused on our goals and not be concerned with the trivialities. Focus on the fight and for your right to think outside the box. Otherwise, we'll all be stars in the dope show...
