In this short article we will see that for someone to be politically aware, it means that he/she has reached a developmental stage where he/she is now capable of not being pushed and prodded by the fear/intimidation tactics as well as the disorientation tactics that are used to fully control the People. His/her action is solely the result of his/her own critical thinking.
That is something that many claim to possess but few actually apply without fooling themselves. Below, therefore, we will see how to tell apart the two categories of people and how to be in the category of free Humans who can succeed in whatever they want without being dependent on any power handler.
A politically aware Human behaves and acts with others based on the following principles:
1. information: he/she never takes a decision or does any action before being informed of the parameters of every subject that concerns him/her from sources that are credible and have proven in the past that they don’t manipulate, hide and distort data. Because that is rare or non-existent in our society, the politically aware Human learns to decode and understand what is being said in the manners we have analyzed in other articles.
2. attention: he/she never takes a decision or does any action under the pressure of time or without thought of whether that which he/she is about to do will cause him/her trouble or facilitation later on. Always he/she prepares so that he/she will have predicted/guarded from whatever undermining may occur while doing something, as we have demonstrated in the areas to be informed and other articles.
3. substantiation: he/she never allows to have his/her opinion or choice changed if the substantiation of the reason why that should be done is not sufficient. That is, the arguments with which someone attempts to change the opinion of the politically aware Human must primarily be on the subject on which an issue of change of behavior/alignment occurs and it MUST NOT BE OF THETYPE OF EMOTIONAL BLACKMAIL (that is, the type of ‘if you do that you will be detestable/ rebelling/ weird/ etc’ or of the type ‘if you do this I will hate you/ you will let me down/ you will not be a good son-father-mother-sister-daughter-etc (without substantiation as to why)’ or of the type ‘do this and you will be rewarded/ I will protect you/ you won’t care about anything/ you will profit much/ etc’).
4. continuous evaluation of the individuals and situations without fear of admitting making an error or changing course due to new data: the politically aware Human is not unerring or impervious to impression tactics. Many times, especially when there is no good amount of experience in an aspect or if the fraud is artful, a politically aware Human may make a false estimation or evaluation. Also many times, at least in the first stages of ‘getting to know’ someone, when correct arguments and some initial correct actions are projected to attract the People or part of them, the politically aware Human has no choice but to give the opportunity to the one who is arguing correctly to prove that he/she will also support these words with actions. This, however, for the politically aware Human is ‘the chance that never comes twice’: that is, if it is proven that he/she was cheated, he/she give no more chances to the same con person or their group/peers to do it again. He/she follows, that is, the principle that the one who used fraud to rise up will do it again, exactly as the husband who beats his wife no matter how many times he apologizes after the fact.
5. memory and historic research: the politically aware Human does not forget the experiences of the past nor allow for crimes-treasons, frauds and injustices to be dismissed when they have taken place at his/her expense or at the expense of third parties so that he/she will not allow anything that has happened to happen again. The politically aware human does not choose the lesser of two evils because he/she knows that in all cases there is also a choice that will not be evil, even if this choice ‘has never happened before/ has no precedent’ or is not directly offered. The politically aware Human is not afraid to choose the non-evil choice because he/she does not succumb to emotional blackmail as those described in point 3 of this article. On the contrary he/she remembers what happened during his/her own lifetime (politically, socially, economically, Nationally, etc) and knows of or researches so that he/she will know what happened historically in the sum of a political trajectory or other stance, where it led and how it affects him/her now. Thus, he/she will be able to protect him/herself and enforce the existence of progressively better conditions on all social levels (political, social, economical, National, etc) and be more and more respected.
We see therefore that it is not the action alone that shows us if a Human is politically aware or depoliticized but especially the manner that led him/her to do any action or take any decision.
Naturally, the common logic guiding politically aware Humans generally leads them to actions similar or parallel to each other, stemming from the same principles, so it is normal for them to tend to be so. That is, from whatever starting point, the politically aware Human aims to gain the following, based only on common logic as to why these must be achieved:
1. economic wellbeing for everyone without exception: it is the only way for criminality not to exist and to give the capacity for social and cultural evolution where comforts will increase geometrically for everyone and consequently for him/her, too. A unilateral economic wellbeing means social strife, insecurity, jealousy/ coveting, outrage/ anger, hatred and thus increase of violence and criminality and a debasing of the quality of life, resulting in continuous degradation of awareness, culture and values.
2. national well being for all without exception but with historic integrity/accuracy: it is the only way for both the evolution of the multi-cultural global culture and the evolution and embellishment of each one independent National culture around the world without it being undermined or annihilated from the cultural map. That ensured the harmonious coexistence between Nations and the positive interaction so that a global pluralistic culture is yielded without eradicating any of the National ones feeding it. Lack of this National well being means friction between states and Nations/National groups and grounds for war or other types of hostile and oppressive and exhausting situations. The lack of National well being based on correct historical evidence is tantamount to the lack of some kind of nature’s flora or fauna and therefore an ecological disaster and destruction of all of nature.
3. equal dealing with all Humans and all social groups without differentiations bearing the connotation of ‘superiority/inferiority’: that is the only way to eradicate any kind of injustice or exclusion of any Human, that is the only way to eradicate the basis on which all violent emotions leading to criminality, friction and marginalization are cultivated, a waste and loss of Humans who normally would have offered to society, science and the general evolution and empowerment of the Human species to levels we cannot even begin to imagine with the present diseased situation.
Of course, the first emotional and non-objective blackmail against Humans is to reject all these goals with jeering or pessimism of the type ‘these things are utopian/ it is just not done/ the world is too evil/ the world is too immature for something like this/ humans don’t deserve such things/ etc.’ But the politically aware Human knows that this sort of ‘argumentation’ is unsubstantiated and without arguments and comes only from individuals that are either negatively inclined (i.e. they seek the perpetuations of the torturous and unnatural condition) or they are depoliticized and completed disoriented and ignorant, ailing with depression (according to the scientific definition of psychopathology, not the popular one) that has not been diagnosed or is covered by known and official sources and methods (such as Achenbach tests).
Therefore, the Human who does not wish for the perpetuation of the destitute political situation in Greece which plagues her at least since the end of World War II and which in the period of restitution (after the junta) it is called bipartisanism/ corruption/ adultery or results/ unofficial parliamentary dictatorship/ etc is not going to resort to voting anyone who has already proven via governing or personal living or social/parliament action that he/she is a traitor/ underbidder/ turncoat/ thief/ of limited mental capacity or spineless/ unethical/ depraved and a liar. On the contrary he/she will seek the other choices that are not offered and will insist on rejecting options that are dysfunctional until he/she enforces his/her goals through scourging of the negative elements of the state, parliament and social mechanism and the demand of a referendum with proper options (or it will be yet another fraud) to reconstruct the True Public Democracy in our country.
To help and help study all the Humans who wish to be politically aware we have uploaded in the Complaints section the common pre-election letter we sent to all the political party leaders (plus one more especially for K. Karamanlis who still possesses the PM seat) where there are some basic questions.
These questions were sent well before the debates and also with sufficient time so that they are answered personally to us, and thus during the elections to choose (if they could convince us) with substantiation.
Of course and as we expected the questions are such that nobody negatively inclined, depraved or fraudulent can answer them even superficially in a written and binding form with their signature, and we calculated exactly on verifying the typical tactic of such people: to give a slightly legal-sounding answer after the fact, or in a period that will not affect them too much, as they attempt with the manner they answer our other letters and actions.
Because if may seem to someone who is skim reading and doesn’t stop to consider that these questions have no satisfactory or ‘magical’ or ‘direct’ answer, to prove the contrary we will present you with the answers a sincere candidate leader would give, one who would assume, except for the power, the responsibilities that go with it (the real ones, not the ‘political’ ones which are negligent).
Of course, because we have announced that both the letters and any answers given will be published (thus the lack of them before the elections), we will post the ‘cheat sheet’ after the elections take place, to have and compare and check on the next government.
