Here goes mate,
I am the author. I am a U.S. citizen so that is my inherent perspective. Good ideas spread globally. I am poor as hell because I refuse to be a part of the mindless ponzi scheme. I quit the corporate world to be a mushroom farmer, so I came to this forum to share my work because I like this forum. So, yes indeed, I created something that I hope some people might buy. If i knitted sweaters, I'd have knitted sweaters for sale but I wrote a book so that is what I have.



Good for you mate. I totally respect that you're following your dreams and all. I'm all about the revolution myself, and I ain't so bad at writing that I never intend to (attempt to) produce something worthy of merit when I find the headspace to dedicate to it, so I appreciate what you've done.

But.. I just can't understand the insular perspective that most Americans have, even after living here for two years. You know when I first landed here in Portland, OR, back in 2017  I was with another (now deceased) mod of this forum, and we were out in town on the 4th July. Ended up walking and talking for a while with some guy we met who wouldn't stop going about the constitution like it was all that mattered in the world and was the be all and end all of life itself.

I questioned him about this, said it didn't sound reasonable. I wasn't aggressive, but I couldn't understand it like I can now cause I'd never seen it before. And what did I get in return? Guy threw a fucking beer bottle at me (it missed).

Now perhaps that experience left a sour taste in my mouth, but the moment someone mentions the constitution in reference to what is a global issue, and starts taking that nationalist stance of 'our goverment/country' I just switch off. It seems to me like missing the point. You're instantly segregating yourself from the rest of the world.

Doesn't it seem like the very point of the revolution would be the antithesis of doing that; the thing that we're already doing? Segregation is what we do now, and bloody well I might add. It's not exactly working out well for 80% of the humans alive though mind you.

A better world would come from its opposite; from unification and integration, would it not?

Let it be seen that you are nothing. And in knowing that you are nothing... there is nothing to lose, there is nothing to gain. What can happen to you? Something can happen to the body, but it will either heal or it won't. What's the big deal? Let life knock you to bits. Let life take you apart. Let life destroy you. It will only destroy what you are not.

Yes, and I totally get what you are saying. I absolutely agree. In this case, the basis of the book is George Washington's Farewell Address and the founding documents. So it just has an inherent 'American' slant. But the intention is global. The kindle version is free starting at midnight and for the next 5 days, so you could take a peak for no cost. We are on the same team. The book is about taking down the global elite.
