Small Acts Of Sedition

Small Acts Of Sedition

the first 2 paragraphs of caitlin johnstone's latest post:

'It is not easy being someone who cares about the world and opposes the status quo. It’s a series of disheartening failures and crushing disappointments amid an endless deluge of information saying that everything is getting worse and worse.

The environment keeps degrading. Ruling power structures keep getting more and more controlling. Capitalism gets more and more imbalanced and exploitative. World powers get closer and closer to a mass military confrontation of unspeakable horror.'


she goes on to advocate committing small acts of sedition as a means of attempting to upset the status quo. much of what i've written over recent decades has been in the spirit of sedition. i did so hoping to receive positive feedback from readers encouraging me to do more, but that largely has failed to materialize. i can surreally relate to caitlin's first paragraph above. it truly seems most of the time that no one cares or wants to know how bad our world has become or how bad it's likely to become in the near future. perhaps it's too depressing. my worldview is particularly gloomy. unlike caitlin and many other doomers, i have no hope to offer. only horrific info to share with anyone able and willing to take it in and embrace it.

sedition- conduct or speech inciting people to rebel against the authority of a state or monarch.

without putting forth hope that any such rebellion has any chance of success, i suppose my writing isn't quite seditious. perhaps that's why no one pays it any mind.

in a utopian (vs. a dystopian) world, sedition wouldn't be a crime. there would be no 'authorities' to rebel against.
