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 โslowโ 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."
