Change Youself, Change Everything

  • I understand people demonstrating. But they would help themselves and their country much more if they changed their behavior and began to follow different rules in their work and private lives. Change can be achieved reliably, but only through consistent daily decisions and acting according to different rules than before.
  • Whenever you decide what to desire, if, where and what to buy, what and what to save for, who to listen to, read and/or vote for and what to believe in, then you may decide consistently and persistently to follow the four points of resistance:

1. Slow is better than fast

  • Live today as the most important day of your life and not just as an obstacle to tomorrow. Wherever possible, prioritize โ€œslowโ€ in-person over digital communication. Respond to system requests and needs as slowly as possible. Don't buy just because it's cheap. Don't buy for self-reproach. Your buying preference may be quality, uniqueness, durability and handwork.

2. Local is better than global

  • Always and in everything prioritize the place where you live and work. Always choose only what is spatially closer and what you can influence. Buy goods up close and look for your friends nearby. Get involved in local economy and political governance. Use banknotes and not credit cards; support local currencies. Strengthen the small and weaken the big because you can control the small, the big will always control you.

3. Face to face is better than online

  • Stop dissolving into online humanity and prioritize face-to-face relationships. The information system wants to control, exploit and manipulate you. Use the Internet, but don't let it abuse you. Do not believe anything that is written more than your own reason and the people close to you. Always put interpersonal relationships before things.

4. Own is better than someone else's

  • Our difference from others is the main source of creativity and freedom; Gleichschaltung harms both. Our interests, traditions and problems are more important than those of others. Let us reject "solidarity" with the whole world; they are not telling you the whole truth about him. Be concerned only with what is here and not with what is over the horizon. Support anything that dismantles transnational political and economic entities.

Why it will work: The more people act on the four rules of resistance, imagine them, improve them and get others for them, the faster and bigger our victory will be. How is it possible? Because even very small changes are almighty in large quantities. Example?

In 2003 he employed British Cycling, Dave Brailsford. In the hundred years since 1908, the British have won a single gold medal, and the Tour de France has not won once in its 110 years of existence. Brailsford came up with a new method. According to her, a person should strive for even the smallest progress in everything he does. When one step is added to another, it has a huge leverage effect. So Brailsford started making dozens of small changes. He gave the saddles a more comfortable shape, rubbed alcohol on the tires for grip, tried different types of massage gels until he chose the one that regenerated the muscles the fastest, etc., etc. When these small improvements could be counted in the hundreds, the British team dominated road and indoor cycling. He won 60 percent of all gold medals at the Beijing Olympics, and even more in London. Between 2007-2017, they won 178 championship golds, 60 Olympic medals and five Tour trophies.


If you make small improvements according to the four points of resistance, then no one will notice that you are already living in a "secondary" society and at the same time you will be grains of sand in the deposit of the old system. As individuals, you only make "invisible" mini-changes. But these accumulate into millions of uniform deviations from the norm and act as an all-powerful lever that will change the world non-violently and fundamentally for the better.

The British politician and philosopher Edmund Burke said: "No one makes a greater mistake than he who does nothing, believing that the little he can do is of no use."

Zmฤ›ลˆte Sebe, Zmฤ›nรญte Vลกechno

Chรกpu lidi, kteล™รญ demonstrujรญ. Ale mnohem vรญce by pomohli sobฤ› a svรฉ zemi, kdyby zmฤ›nili svoje chovรกnรญ a zaฤali se v pracovnรญm a soukromรฉm ลพivotฤ› ล™รญdit podle jinรฝch pravidel. Zmฤ›nu lze dosรกhnout spolehlivฤ›, ale jedinฤ› soustavnรฝm kaลพdodennรญm rozhodovรกnรญm a jednรกnรญm podle jinรฝch pravidel neลพ doposud.

Kdykoliv se budete rozhodovat po ฤem touลพit, jestli, kde a co nakupovat, na co a na ฤem spoล™it, koho poslouchat, ฤรญst anebo volit a v co vฤ›ล™it, tak se mลฏลพete rozhodnout dลฏslednฤ› a vytrvale ล™รญdit podle ฤtyล™ pravidel aktivnรญho odporu:


1. Pomalรฉ je lepลกรญ neลพ rychlรฉ

ลฝijte dneลกek jako nejdลฏleลพitฤ›jลกรญ den vaลกeho ลพivota a ne jen jako pล™ekรกลพku k pozรญtล™รญ. Vลกude, kde se dรก, upล™ednostnฤ›te โ€žpomalouโ€œ osobnรญ pล™ed digitรกlnรญ komunikacรญ. Reagujte na poลพadavky a potล™eby systรฉmu co nejpomaleji. Nekupujte jen proto, ลพe je to levnรฉ. Nekupujte pro sebeukรกjenรญ se. Kupujete zejmรฉna kvalitu, jedineฤnost, trvalost a ruฤnรญ prรกci.

2. Lokรกlnรญ je lepลกรญ neลพ globรกlnรญ

Vลพdy a ve vลกem upล™ednostลˆujte mรญsto, kde ลพijete a pracujete. Vyberte vลพdy jen to, co je prostorovฤ› blรญลพe a co mลฏลพete ovlivnit. Nakupujte zboลพรญ zblรญzka a blรญzko si hledejte i svรฉ pล™รกtele. Zapojte se do mรญstnรญho hospodรกล™stvรญ a politickรฉ sprรกvy. Pouลพรญvejte bankovky a ne kreditky; podporujte lokรกlnรญ mฤ›ny. Posilujte malรฉ a oslabujte velkรฉ, protoลพe malรฉ dokรกลพete ovlรกdat, velkรฉ bude vลพdy ovlรกdat vรกs.

3. Tvรกล™รญ v tvรกล™ je lepลกรญ neลพ online

Pล™estaลˆte se rozpouลกtฤ›t ve webovรฉm lidstvu a upล™ednostลˆujte vztahy tvรกล™รญ v tvรกล™. Informaฤnรญ systรฉm vรกs chce ovlรกdat, vykoล™isลฅovat a manipulovat. Vyuลพรญvejte internet, ale nenechte se jรญm zneuลพรญvat. Nevฤ›ล™te niฤemu, co je psรกno vรญce neลพ vlastnรญmu rozumu a vรกm blรญzkรฝm lidem. Mezilidskรฝm vztahลฏm dejte vลพdy pล™ednost pล™ed vฤ›cmi.

4. Vlastnรญ je lepลกรญ neลพ cizรญ

Naลกe odliลกnost od jinรฝch je hlavnรญ zdroj tvoล™ivosti a svobody; glajchลกaltovรกnรญ ลกkodรญ obojรญmu. Naลกe zรกjmy, tradice a problรฉmy jsou dลฏleลพitฤ›jลกรญ neลพ cizรญ. Odmรญtnฤ›me โ€žsolidarituโ€œ s celรฝm svฤ›tem; neล™รญkajรญ vรกm o nฤ›m celou pravdu. Zabรฝvejte se jen tรญm, co je tady a ne tรญm, co je za horizontem. Podporujte vลกechno, co rozklรกdรก nadnรกrodnรญ politickรฉ a hospodรกล™skรฉ celky.


Proฤ to bude fungovat: ฤŒรญm vรญce lidรญ bude jednat podle ฤtyล™ pravidel aktivnรญho odporu, domรฝลกlet je, zlepลกovat a zรญskรกvat pro nฤ› ostatnรญ, tรญm rychlejลกรญ a vฤ›tลกรญ bude naลกe vรญtฤ›zstvรญ. Jak je to moลพnรฉ? Protoลพe i velmi malรฉ zmฤ›ny jsou ve velkรฉm mnoลพstvรญ vลกemocnรฉ. Pล™รญklad?

V roce 2003 zamฤ›stnal British Cycling, Davea Brailsforda. Za sto let od roku 1908 zรญskali Britovรฉ jedinou zlatou medaili a Tour de France nevyhrรกli za 110 let jejรญ existence ani jednou. Brailsford pล™iลกel s novou metodou. Podle nรญ mรก ฤlovฤ›k ve vลกem, co dฤ›lรก usilovat i o sebenepatrnฤ›jลกรญ pokrok. Kdyลพ se hromadรญ jeden krลฏฤek ke druhรฉmu tak to mรก obrovskรฝ pรกkovรฝ efekt. Proto zaฤal Brailsford provรกdฤ›t tucty drobnรฝch zmฤ›n. Sedlลฏm dal pohodlnฤ›jลกรญ tvar, pneumatiky potรญral kvลฏli pล™ilnavosti alkoholem, vyzkouลกel rลฏznรฉ druhy masรกลพnรญch gelลฏ, aลพ vybral ten, kterรฝ svaly nejrychleji regeneroval atd. atd. Kdyลพ se tato drobnรก zlepลกenรญ dala poฤรญtat na stovky, ovlรกdl britskรฝ tรฝm silniฤnรญ a halovou cyklistiku. Na olympiรกdฤ› v Pekingu zรญskal 60 procent vลกech zlatรฝch, v Londรฝnฤ› jeลกtฤ› vรญce. Mezi lety 2007-2017 zรญskali 178 zlatรฝch ze ลกampionรกtลฏ, 60 olympijskรฝch medailรญ a pฤ›t trofejรญ z Tour.


Kdyลพ budete dฤ›lat malรก zlepลกenรญ podle ฤtyล™ pravidel aktivnรญho odporu, tak si nikdo nevลกimne, ลพe uลพ ลพijete ve โ€žvedlejลกรญโ€œ spoleฤnosti a zรกroveลˆ budete zrnky pรญsku v loลพisku starรฉho systรฉmu. Jako jedinci dฤ›lรกte jen โ€žneviditelnรฉโ€œ minizmฤ›ny. Ty se ale hromadรญ do milionลฏ stejnorodรฝch odchylek od normy a pลฏsobรญ jako vลกemocnรก pรกka, kterรก zmฤ›nรญ svฤ›t nenรกsilnฤ› a pล™itom zรกsadnฤ› k lepลกรญmu.

Britskรฝ politik a filosof Edmund Burke ล™ekl: โ€žNikdo nedฤ›lรก vฤ›tลกรญ chybu neลพ ten, kdo nedฤ›lรก nic v domnฤ›nรญ, ลพe to mรกlo, co udฤ›lat mลฏลพe, nemรก smysl.โ€œ
