What if I realised after spending 5 years abroad
When I was 24, I was in London, trying to figure out my career. I was doing as many hands-on jobs as I could so that I’d know what resonated with me and, finally, to discover my passion and what works for me. In this process, I started seeing the nature of reality. I saw many people’s lives and how they were not happy with the way things were operating. I began to notice the contradictions in what we were taught to believe. In the process, I started questioning things.
Life was kept within certain conditions—like needing to get a good job, earning a lot of money, living in high-standard places, living in a metropolitan city. Chasing dreams was equated with “doing something” in your life.
But in reality, people are facing many problems in this system. On one side, they are experiencing high standards, material comfort, glossy and shiny things everywhere. They are buying into these experiences. At the same time, they are being pulled into a cycle—paying a lot in rent, bills, all in the name of "standards," which is the commodification of essentials.
Many people have dreams of making it big in life, yet their social mobility is stuck. They are unable to find better jobs. At the same time, they can't afford to buy a house—or it would take decades. Immigrants have obligations from their home countries to support their families and fulfill expectations.
Where was I? I was in East London, with my friends. I had studied my master’s and spent a lot of time acquiring technical skills to find a suitable job within my profession. Many of the people I met were also highly qualified, with good knowledge and many years of professional experience. They had come to this country for the betterment of their lives. On the other hand, in this system, jobs were often limited to referrals. HR departments were instructed to hire only people with certain types of visas, which became an exclusion criterion. This, again, is a contradiction.
People spend so much time studying and acquiring skills, but within one to two years, these become outdated. I was observing all these contradictions.
No one can run indefinitely. The system is making it nearly impossible to reach the goals it sets, yet it convinces the majority to believe in it. This keeps the majority population in suppression and enslavement.
After knowing all this, I started to develop independent thinking. I was reading many seminal books on these systems—
from authors like William Easterly, Thomas Sowell, Noam Chomsky, Herbert Marcuse, etc., also on the historical context of colonialism and neo-colonialism.
I started discussing these ideas and experiences with friends who were going through similar situations—comparing our living experiences from what I read, trying to understand how reality actually works. But people are so well-trained to believe in these systems that they think, eventually, it will work for them. I, on the other hand, was only interested in demystifying more, expanding on different things, and seeking to understand what I don’t yet know.
I realized that perceptions are manufactured. We need to work on our perspectives to find the truth.
Eventually, I questioned these perceptions, expanded my perspectives, and came to understand that we are living in an illusion.
Behind the scenes, central banks are running the show—not presidents, not democracy. They are keeping all countries in debt in the name of development, which causes inflation. Those who are closest to these central banks—like the banking system and big companies—use cheap credit to buy real assets & for like real estate & for their expansions like buying factories, stock buybacks, and acquire small businesses/startups to remove competition. This cycle perpetuates, the gap of the rich getting richer & poor & middle classes getting poorer with raising inflation & tax burden.
These banks and companies grow bigger with every recession. Governments give subsidies & bailouts to big players. These debts are passed down the public, squeezing everyone through taxes and inflation. People become jobless & small businesses struggle to exists due to monopolistic situations and are forced into austerity & survival.
They are using fake money to buy real assets and expand their reach globally in the name of MNCs with One World Order.
This virus expands to globally in the name of globalisation & they are capturing all sectors with free markets & neoliberal policies, existing businesses can’t compete with these big players with their endless cheap money. Once they capture major sectors, that countries’ money will be transferred to rich countries with profits & increased market share. It’s a new form of colonialism. People argue about left vs. right ideologies or blame politicians, big companies, they are just symptoms. The main villain is the central bank— no addresses this. Federal Reserve 50% of which owned by private banks it mainly works for private interests and bailouts, but it kept into the government, so none can recognise it. All central bank system is a recent invention, they kept an whole country on banks & we say printing money but actually it’s a taking loans from creating bonds. All money we use it debt, we need to pay interest for it, either through taxes or real tax which is inflation. One’s income is another debt, and to grow the economy, you need to keep on borrowing either state or individuals. It’s an endless debt trap. Only Banks, monopolies, thrive in this system. Jobs are just labour allocation for this same system, that enslaves people.
In ancient civilisation, debts are cleared time to time, to prevent collapses. Now in modern times, debt is being used as an instrument for control & enslaving entire population. President to president, they are taking this debt forward with more debt. This is a wrong system.
Looking back on all of this, the only thing that truly matters is our own well-being, self-sufficiency, and sovereignty. The system is designed on dependency & external metrics — money, credentials, status, and your role in society. These are given by the system to control us.
Finally, I think this is the story that resonates with the majority of people. I want to share this message: Please look for yourself, your sovereignty and your self-sufficiency. Unless we find what we love, we can’t escape this system. Surround yourself with like-minded people and supporters.
“Civilized” means following the rules of the system you were born into. By following them, you become more “civilized,” and ultimately, easier to control by the system. Think about it.
The main problem is creating loans from thin air, they are not creating any value, just extracting from your real value. Read about Community-owned business models, crowdfunding, blockchain, barter systems, time banking—explore these systems. Debt is the problem. Money is designed to control, not just for exchange.
