Corporate Slaves:— I am Lost in the maze of regional rivalries.
Exploring the current political and social situation of the world is like putting your head into a washing machine. A lot has been written and said on this subject, but none of it makes sense to me.
Role of Media:
In the midst of regional economical rivalries fingers are pointed in all directions, no one seems to know what is going on. Mass media is feeding us with lies, lies and more lies. Shall we just blame the media and get our head out of the washing machine? (I tried, did not work) We can’t blame media for everything. Can we? Aren’t they on the same boat as us? The only difference is that they are self-deceived by their ignorance and our ignorance is influenced by them.
Political Capitalism:
Politics is a very dirty game. Perhaps we should blame politicians & diplomats and get on with our lives. (I tried, failed again) Well, there has always been crooked Politicians in the world. Whenever something goes wrong, our impulsive & collective ignorance leads us to blame them. And the real player and policy makers who fund and control the global political machinery stay hidden behind the scene.
Fears and desires are two sides of same coin:
We live in times where fear plays major role in reflecting and shaping our social values. We have been conditioned to accept fear in our lives. The fear of losing Job, The fear of losing our house, the fear of being rejected by others, the fear of not being able to provide for our family, the fear of not being able to live up to the expectation of others, All these fears is what shapes the course of our lives. We do everything possible to eliminate the fear factor from our lives and to protect our families. We lie for personal benefits. We adopt cunning strategies to compete with competitors. We make false assumptions to impress others. We don’t hesitate to pull someone’s leg for personal gains. We even use others as stepping stones to climb up the corporate ladder.
How our actions are different than a politician? One can debate that the effect of their political crimes is bigger than ours. So does the profits… Bigger the crime, bigger will be the reward. Crooked Political rulers are definitely part of the problem but they are not the problem. They are just sophisticated high level corporate slaves who have no power. They are only puppets being used and controlled by secretive oil companies and intelligence service of regional states.
corporatocracy:
It all boils down to handful of corporations who control 90% of worlds’ resources. They dominate every aspect of our lives. They own and control the governments (Check out the history of Last 10 American Presidents, They were all corporate executive at some point). They own some of the largest media outlets in the world and rest are influenced by their interests. They decide what we should eat, how we should dress, why we should go for wars and who we should war with. In short, it’s them who shape the reality of our future.
CAN WE BLAME CORPORATES?
Ant they simply doing what should be done to gain access to regional markets to secure more profits? Aren’t we all competing for power and wealth? How many of us don’t want our nation to be the most powerful nation in the world? How many of us actually realize that we are being conditioned on mass scale? How many of us want to accept that we are crammed into this rat maze only to become corporate tool for totalitarian enslavement.
Change the world by changing yourself:
How often do we think of helping others or about making a real contribution to society? Maybe most of us do a lot of thinking about it, but how many of us actually have the courage to do something about it? Imagine a slave standing up to his master when slavery was considered normal in our society. How would have people reacted in that period? Slave would probably be beaten or slaughtered…. And it will be considered normal. Now, imagine this happening today. NO YOU CAN’T? Slaves don’t exist anymore… Who do you think we are? Yes that’s exactly who we are, modern day corporate slaves. Waking up and standing against this slavery state NEEDS LOTS OF COURAGE. Do we have that courage?
Accept that we have a problem:
In the end, we have no one to blame but ourselves. We have two choices, we can either do something about it by denouncing the corporate enslavement or we can completely accept it. In my case I have no more courage left in me. I have given up to my fears and have accepted corporate slavery. And I know I am not the only one who has surrender to this conscious slavery. I am not the only one who has traded dreams with hopes. I am not the only one who has ceased to live for a better existence in a projected future. Society has programmed us all to submit to our greatest fears disguised in immense desires. It has become human nature to control the weak and take advantage of them. There is simply none to blame but us, our collective ignorance and greed has degraded and destroyed the basic sources of our life and has corrupted humanity.

Dear Shekhar,

Great post Abdul Munim. We cannot stand against powerful corporations individually. And we cannot let them get away with whatever they want at our expense. The only effective alternative is to organise. Get together. Follow a plan. After all who is more effective? Whose voice is heard? A billion lone individuals or a billion strong force?
“Political capitalism, media, corporatocracy…”
The power to thwart the nexus of politics, corporations and media resides within the multiplicative effect of an individual’s power & will to act. Through ‘conscious’ consumption, and exercising our purchasing power in a manner that supports/subscribes only to an ethos of products & services coming from those who are not part of a destructive nexus/invisible web of coalitions working against true democracy, public good, and our individual liberties for truly free choice.
ETHOS — a relevant, must watch documentary, context of which is US-centric, but universal in its truth

The solution is very simple, but implementing it needs supernatural powers. Spiritual people need to be put on top of the hierarchy of governance like the golden age brahmins. All these low-level people and merchants have assumed control and propagated blatant unethical materialism into the society.
These politicians such as Sonia Maino, Manmohan and the UPA cartel need to be forcibly put on a hunger strike until their swiss accounts are redeemed.
You have to address the roots.
All you are talking of my friend is the pain of this existence. You have become very good at defining the problem. at describing how your cage looks. you have also believed that there is a better cage to live in, maybe in another time but not this one. there is a lot of meaning to be sussed out of pain, it is pleasurable afterall.
so the question is – do you really want to escape this cage – right now, or trade it for a better one?
-if you want to trade it for a better one, what is to say you will find solace within the new one too, you don’t exactly have proven track record do you?
-but, if you really want to escape it, why don’t you simply see – you were never in it to begin with?
