On the apparent yet unseen totalitarian ideology

I am the supreme being.

I have no idea what you're talking about. Are you MrOmega? If so, that makes sense.

Do you find yourself continually perplexed with the world around you? Of course you do as I am omni prescent. A ghost in the machine. I can travel halfway across the world approaching the speed of light. I am spread across the entire human system.

Where are you?

The way you are describing things are deeply personal. You are painting a picture of the world and it's forces pressing down on you.

That's how it sounds, anyways.

What you'd probably be interested in, is axiomatics. The science where people agree to "conspire", or "organize" by laws, or rules, or religions and moral beliefs.

 

An excellent philosophy or ideological system that's milleniums old and still in use today where axiomatics probably stem from, is logic.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logic

Consistency, which means that no theorem of the system contradicts another.[14]

Validity, which means that the system's rules of proof never allow a false inference from true premises. A logical system has the property of soundness when the logical system has the property of validity and uses only premises that prove true (or, in the case of axioms, are true by definition).[14]

Completeness, of a logical system, which means that if a formula is true, it can be proven (if it is true, it is a theorem of the system).

Soundness, the term soundness has multiple separate meanings, which creates a bit of confusion throughout the literature. Most commonly, soundness refers to logical systems, which means that if some formula can be proven in a system, then it is true in the relevant model/structure (if A is a theorem, it is true). This is the converse of completeness. A distinct, peripheral use of soundness refers to arguments, which means that the premises of a valid argument are true in the actual world. 

 

 

For example, consistency. Is it entirely 1984, all the time where you go, or is it a subjective experience.

If it is a subjective experience, then the consistency of your claims could be compromised.

That can give you the quick and hard answers, such as, changing your environment, will tell you where freedom is.

It's probably a highly specialized sense of self, individualism, self determination, and an inability to reach out into the world and find what contradicts his ethical theorem as to what "freedom" is.

In 1970s speak. They aren't playing any sports, not a part of any team system, and the institution has basically walled them off and that is their early development pattern, thus the primary perspective on life.

Now it's a life of criticizing the system that has failed them.

 

Real freedom, right?

 

 

This is as close to freedom as a social organization can get if you ask me, what I believe is worth striving towards.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonomy

Autonomy (Ancient Greek: αὐτονομία autonomia from αὐτόνομος autonomos from αὐτο- auto- "self" and νόμος nomos, "law", hence when combined understood to mean "one who gives oneself one's own law") is a concept found in moral, political, and bioethical philosophy. Within these contexts, it is the capacity of a rational individual to make an informed, un-coerced decision. In moral and political philosophy, autonomy is often used as the basis for determining moral responsibility and accountability for one's actions. In medicine, respect for the autonomy of patients is an important goal, though it can conflict with a competing ethical principle, namely beneficence. Autonomy is also used to refer to the self-government of the people.

 

It is often a topic in anarchist literature.

This is the same guy who a couple of days ago was telling all of us how he should be our world leader and how the majority of our population should be put into gas chambers. Now he's feeding us bullshit rhetoric on how capitalism and democracy are authoritarian and totalitarian, the implication being that dictatorships/authoritarian governments are bad. So, which is it? Are you going to make up your mind? Do we need a leader or not?

Then he rants about our "perpetual, incessant consuming". As if there was anything wrong with consumption, you nihilistic fucking hypocrite. If you have a problem with consumption, then you may start by doing all of us a favor and stop consuming stuff altogether. Stop eating. Stop drinking. And stop breathing while you're at it. Oxygen too is a good that must be consumed.

Then advertising campaigns are supposed to be some sort of mind control weapon or whatever. Newsflash: All these big companies are competing ruthlessly against each other in order to GIVE YOU the best products possible. They go as far as studying the entire HUMAN PSYCH in order to build and create stuff that is so utterly awesome that the moment it's out on the market no one can resist it (because the stuff is awesome). No doubt they can influence the judgments of persons, but who the fuck cares, when the stuff they're giving us are Porsches 918 Spyders, PS4s, 3D Televisions, cutting-edge footwear for athletes, delicious food, and so on? Nobody should care, because these things are awesome!

So, man, what's your problem?

What is freedom? I should say, what sustains an apparent freedom?

There is a dictatorship within bourgeois democracy itself. There exists a totalitarianism, that is largely unseen due to the often human induced transcendent distortation. This, as is already knows is called 'Ideology'. Something that doesn't necessarily blind you, but acts as a blinding lens through which one views the world.

What would capitalism be without perpetual, incessant consuming? See. This is the types of questions which act as a sort of distortion, what we should ask is: What would capitalism be without the means to influence the judgements of persons?

Without launching giant advertising campaigns to create new convention as a marketing effort capitalism cannot be maintained.

It's a system that on the subconscious level is 1984. It's invisible, yet omnipresent. It's quantitative, yet not qualitative. On every facet capable of projecting a reflection the authoritarianism is blatant, yet unseen.
