Hobo, Poor Slave, Rich Slave

Hobo, Poor Slave, Rich Slave

These are the options you have in life and you should choose one to be - or at least be aware of them as you are in one of these categories and always will be.

Hobo

When I started analyzing Freedom in its various forms, I realized that many people work their entire lives to get to the point of retirement, so they didn’t have to do “stuff” any more.

When I thought of a homeless person - I realized they had already achieved this right out of the gate. They didn’t have to do “stuff”. They didn’t have to pay any student debt. They were already retired.

So if this “having nothing”, “no responsibilities or debts” really is your perogative, being a hobo is the path. They are free from debt, obligations and the leverage of threat that the system holds over people in the form of confiscation of wealth or imprisonment. Prison would be free meals and a bed.

The hobo does not play the game. They do not have a fixed address. They do not trade time for money. The system cannot feed off of them - there are no taxes to be extracted.

Poor Slave

The archetype of the perfect poor slave is as follows.

The Poor Slave plays the game, without knowing the rules. Without knowing the rules, they don’t follow the rules and they get punished for it.

They wonder why they are getting such a poor score, getting “beaten” by the other players and are generally not enjoying the experience.

They generally are salaried employees trading time for money.

They buy the big house, the cars on credit. Taxes come out of their income before it lands in their pocket.

By playing the game, if they don’t comply to the rules, their assets/money can stripped and taken. They don’t have enough money to put into assets, so their wealth never grows. Money printing and giving money to other countries puts debt on to the citizens. The poor slave works harder and harder to make ends meet.

The cost of living goes up, food goes up, rent, property taxes.

It is a game where they perpetually lose and have a miserable time in the process.

This is most people of the world.

A mix of ignorance and inability to change their situation.

Rich Slave

The archetype of the perfect rich slave is as follows.

This category also plays the same game, but they know the rules and follow the rules.

Likely a business owner, no time for money exchange occurs, but they are locked into keeping a business growing and alive. They chose when Taxes get paid and how they get paid.

The Rich Slave does exactly as the system wants. They follow the narrative. They walk lock-step with which ever government is in place at the time.

They heavily utilize the key pillars of the System - Debt/Credit. They borrow perpetually to invest, that debt cost is written off.

They build larger and larger businesses that ultimately can be used by ruling powers as a monopoly and a single source to control all consumers of that business.

Morals subside. They parrot the narrative, whatever it is. They turn a blind eye to war, death, displacement and the destruction of races.

Their money is invested in index funds which control pooled voting rights of the Rich Slaves - these large index funds have tens of thousands of seats on boards and heavy voting rights. These index funds vote to the direction of the ruling class above them.

Their investments go towards spinning the flywheel of racial destruction, war, death, military, removal of food sources and farmland, chemicals in food, reduced food quality.

Freedom

Having freedom as a newly-found, later in life desire, I found myself trying to decouple myself from the system having control over me.

It enraged me sitting in a department wide meeting being told what to think such as why certain people can’t apply for a job based off their skin color. Or why we have to change what we do because the globe is warming based. And that if I owned a property - because that was attached to the ground, the local authorities could come around and shake me down for money because i cant lift it out of the ground and move it elsewhere.

It enraged me that I felt that as I was getting older, that I should be reaping the rewards of previous years. Things should be getting easier, not harder. I should be able to take the time to smell the roses.

I should have enough mental space to sit, think, ponder, wonder. I should be getting healthier, more sun-kissed, more able to give back to society.

I was diving into gaining Freedom by severing these structurally imposed shackles - but I had done it somewhat naively and blindly.

As I’m doing it - I realize there are only 3 archetypes that you can be - all listed above.

I was somwhere between Rich Slave and Poor Slave and my target destination truly was Hobo. I wanted no control over me.

The system is all-powerful. The history of mankind is the same, repetative and cyclical.

The recipe of a small handful of powerful controlling the rest is probably immutable. All of history has been Kings with their armies and a population of citizens. It is no different now.

The power at the top extracts its energy from the people below and uses it to ever expand. If it stops expanding there is risk of being conquered.

No Such Thing As True Freedom

If we take a look at the three archetypes - there is no such thing as true freedom.

The Hobo is constantly being attacked by the System for not complying. They must have a physical address - they must be in the System. They live under the constant attack of the System for not fitting in.

The Poor Slave is on the hamster wheel for life - no time to think, reflect and change. School, Work, help your children to University, health and old age. Die.

The Rich Slave is not truly free as they have to follow the rules of the System to a T. If they want to rise up the ranks and become richer, they must swallow their morals and turn Sith. Their actions mean that the system grows stronger and harder on the next generation.

I was chasing the idea of shedding the external world having any control over me. Which I now know is not possible.

Trying to descend down the ladder to escape control is moot. External control is at every level of the ladder.

I think you should understand these options and choose which rung of the ladder you want to be on and undertand what it entails.

Everyone has different morals and the question of morality comes into maximum spotlight if you consider Rich Slave.

Maybe there is a degree of Rich Slave that can be achieved whilst being moral. I know for certain I have soul that is moral and find it very painful when this is challenged.

My default state is moral and to do the right thing and it pains me to do otherwise.

I feel that I was climbing down the ladder in action to escape control, but with this reflection will look at re-targeting Rich Slave and accepting as to the Controls that come with it.

I will do by best to always adhere to my morals while charting this course - but that clearly limits the level of Rich Slave you can become.

And that there is no rung on the ladder where you are truly free - you are and will be a Slave to the System of some sort - always.
