                                                                 Philosophy Essay by Buddy Devine.

I believe that we have never had true freedom, not in the US, not anywhere in the world,         

I believe Cohersion is deeper baked into every avenue of sosicty —then most of us realized. What is really our choice, and what is society — telling us we can do what it wants —-or face death, starvation, homelessness, social isolation and bullying/asbuse, — so how can we know what’s really our choice, what is really something we want and feel is the right thing to do— and what is something were so used to being forced into, that we have forgotten its…not our choice, to begin with, becuase were so used to having no choice in much of anything we do——or think, or believe or whatever; 

Examples of mass socital Cohersion; Or choices many judge from the outside looking in;

        1. If your doing sex work —-many will judge you for choosing to sell your body, they will claim its contributing or no different the child trafficking, it’s dangerous, it’s immoral and illegal and just a immoral decision that doesn’t just reduce your humanity and innocence and dignity but puts other pepole at risk, espcially if you have a child or a job working with children the judgments will be tenthfold. But what if…and this isn't always the case but its very common—-you never wanted to do Sex Work, you had two choices, starve—-be unable to pay rent, or afford groceries —-basically become homeless/and starve OR sell your body since you cant get a job, dont have a ton of skills or connections and cant wait—-you need money like, yesterday —and you start an Onlyfans or start using Tryst to do in person escorting, and that’s the only way you can make enough money to survive. Is that an immoral choice, or Cohersion?

    2. Do you want to go to college —or do you just need student benefits, a place (dorms/student housing) to live becuase you cant afford rent, do you just need to be in school becuase you cant get a job and your parrents want you to have something structured in your life even if you dont care about school and it isnt where you want to be, but you need your parrents financial sopport so you’ll stay in school in college even if its not at all something you yourself genuinely care about or are interested in, —are you trying to get an education for a field/career like Medicine, Law, whatever —-a field that requires higher/speciizlied education —-that you are genuinely passionate about, and want to persue a career in from a young age, —or are you not sure what you wanna do for the rest of your life becuase your young, are you —-very much not wanting to get more then a high school education becuase you hate school and have been bullied in school and are perfectly fine having a career in something that doesn’t require a college degree, ——and your aware looking at the job market that so many jobs don’t require a college degree —and even more, that you were thought to care about having a degree to get a job—-even ivy leauge graduates now are having a very tough time finding work becuase of the economy, it doesn’t really matter what degree you have if the job market is fucked to start with.

—-If you start dating a guy who ends up raping and abusing you—did you stand by that guy and let him mistreat you, or were you…perhaps, lonely, traumatized with low self esteem and just wanted love and had very low self imagine and low standards and would just date just about anyone and tolerate just about any mistreatment for love —-becuase your already used to being mistreated, and are mentally not yet able to set boundaries, advocate for yourself, recognizing mistreatment, cut pepole off becuase your afraid of loosing them/afraid of never having freinds/lovers again—if you date a guy in this headspace, and he ends up treating you like shit and traumatizing you, that’s not really your fault and what choice did you really have? —You couldn’t recognize a bastard from a prince, so a bastard would smell that and want to traumatize and control and torture somone like you, that’s what makes them a bastard/desiring to take advandge of vurlrnaunble, pepole like you, 

—- There are countless more examples even some less obvious ones,

        After you get laid of or fired without pay or becuase they were disrmanting you or firing you for being sexually harassed so you dont yap about it —-do you want to get justice or are you afraid of relaxation, being dragged by insensitive police through the justice process only for nothing to happen going up against powerful men in a big coronation, being forced to be villainized in the media having more stress then you might have if you just moved on and keep your mouth shut. Is that really a choice? Or Cohersion —

        Do you really want to live with your parrents, do you really love them?Or do you hate them, not want to spend any time with them whatsoever, but they have made you finally depdent on them and you are unable to make your own money —-so you must pretend to love them, spend time with them, make false promises, hide your rage and descusit, hide most of your life from them so they dont try and control and threaten you for doing things they dont approve of despite it being your right as an adult human being. —do you really want to maintain a relationship with your parrents, abusive or not —or do you just want a roof over your head, allowance and enough money to get by, until you can make your own.

        Do you really want to live in the United States of America, or can you just not afford to move.

        Do you really WANT, deep down in your heart, to take your medication, and act normal and hide your austim and mental illness —-or do you know you have to in most areas of society in order to get respect and opuntities and fit in better with sosicty, even if your perfectly happy acting “weird” and being more creative and manic ect ect —-but you know they could instutonize you, take away your freedom if you dont water yourself down, act normal, be normal say normal stuff —-how is it really your choice?

        Do you really want,  a job? Probably not nobody does really, but you need to make money to live so…what choice do you really have?

    Do you really want to pay 3$ for the bus and the nyc subways, 

    DO you really want a car, maybe not maybe you’d rather ride your bike or walk places, but you live in the Midwest —most of the USA you need a car to get…anywhere since everything is so far apart and build around malls, drive throughs and car culture overall. 

        Do you want to rent and apartment? Or would you rather have your own home like your parrents and grandparrrents did—-do you want to live in a small apartment, with a bunch of mean roommates who don’t respect you or your privacy, who breaks building rules-blame you, smoke indoors, steal your shit, bother you and make you crazy in your own home, never letting you relax. Do you want to live in a tiny apartment with barely any personal space, —-no room for privacy, thin walls, leaky dysofunctional pipes with no hot water, in a dangerous nahborhood with lots of crime, noise, litter, and rukas at all hours of the night. no most pepole would not want to live that way, yet most pepole do. Becuase it’s the only types of apartments they can afford, — becuase their cohersed to choosing something to live in, they never would have otherwise.

        Same with Homlessness, if your given a choice between loosing your apartment and going to prison, most pepole…dont have a choice but to live on the street.

        If you could, would you want to have more adocmations for your DISBLITY, would you get help finding a job from programs, but cant find them—or they dont seem to be very helpful, would you get help buying groceries -cleaning your room or whatever it Amy be becuase your unable to do it on your own, 

Do you want an abortion? Would you get one? Well even if you say yes, you cant…becuase you live in a state where it’s illegal and you cant afford the money to travel to get one, so even if you want an abortion —you wont end up getting one due to factors outside your control. How is that your choice.

Do you want to live in the United States, to Imagrate anywhere actully….well that may be what you want, but you often wont be able to, or even to get asym or sneak into the country and hope not to get deported….without be taken into ICE custody/detenetion and never being able to leave witch one could argue can be worse then being in a war zone/country of Origin where you were not safe in any number of ways. —-So even if you choose to migrate and EVRYONE says your free to make that choice, if its not safe to migrate and its not safe to stay in your home country, how…do you really have a choice. 

        Do you really like your freinds? Or are you just aware you cant meet or haven’t met better ones. 

        Do you really like being single, or has dating just become so impossible you have resigned yourself to being single becuase of things outside your control. You haven’t met that many pepole despite going out to bars and clubs and parties pretty frequently haven’t met that many pepole trying to date at all let alone somone like you spifficllay, are you happy being single ? or are the aprautus of modern dating in society falling apart, with the loss of third spaces, social media based dating, lack of real connection and pepole being more distant and afraid connection, closeness commitment and being in a real relationship more then ever,—maybe all dating apps cost money, maybe you lost hope and motivation to go on dating apps since you only ever meet losers or pepole who only want sex —taking up space on your dating app witch is meant for dating. 

        Do you really like, and enjoy —- wearing the clothes you wear or are you 

In my opinion almost everything in sosicty (unless your rich —not even about everything but a lot of it comes down to access to money, power and status, whiteness, Christianity, being amercian citzen/non ima grant, being able bodied, attractiveness, mental acuity/sanity, intelligence/tallent, and having good luck — are all access of privilege that many pepole cannot control if you have or not —your either born with privilege or your not) 

    —We get the message our whole lives we live the most free country in TEH world, yet most basic decions, 

So, I have been notcticng a disconnect lately, as Amercia falls and settles into fascsim in the year of 2025, and the truth of Amercia’s culture is being exposed, the emperor left to flail and scream into the void with no clothes as well as all of neoliberal capitalist democrys’ the world over. I (like many others) have been struck by a dissconect between reality, my reality of being disabled, finically depednent on my parrents, unable to find a job, too poor to afford an apartment, or invest in the stock market, or even afford food most weeks. —The reality of many of my freinds and allies, who are also trans, POC, indigenous, chronically ill, mentally ill, unmedicated, unsupported by freinds or family, stuck in poverty, stuck living in homeless shelters or on the streets, stuck being unable to afford basic medication, trans affirming care or heath insurance, stuck doing sex work for survival as well as sell drugs, plasma, beg for money online, ect. Experiencing homelessness, having to drop out of college without a degree, being unable to afford a tuition, unable to afford to have a kid, or their inehtertince, being an able to sue their abuser for assault or get taken seriously by the cops when being stalked or targeted, being unable to afford a computer or a phone, or a pet, or a bank account, — or most things the average person takes for granted. This reality is one, a reality of poverty, uphill battles, gatekpt punditry’s, survival struggles, making compromises, going without basic neccities, are all reality’s I am used to, and sometimes take for granted myself. 

        But what has struck me as of late, isnt my own reality witch again Is the one I live so sometimes I forget it is just that, MY reality, not reality not just in my experiences but how it colors how I see literally everything else in the world. And the disconnect between my reality and others reality, others with more privilege, and less. My father, who doesn’t understand why the police are dangerous, and why we shouldn’t trust them, who is rich, successful and vacations at the Hamptons every weekand with his attractive Girlfriend, he doesn’t understand why I cant get a job, that Gen Z is being targeted by company’s to implement polices to not hire anyone from my age group. He doesn’t understand how and why me and many others have gone to protests, he writes them off, (always has my whole life, from occupy wall street, to BLM) as dangerous, pointless, childish and not worth it, he doesn’t understand why and how pepole who struggle, make bad choices under impossible odds, why I fought back my bullies as a youth, nor why similarly misunderstood abuse victims like Amber Heard would fight back against Johnny depp, and why that was not only her right, but her only choice, and why she isn’t toxic or a mutual abuser, but a victim of Jhonny Depp, and of pop cultural maysgsony, that he plays into…not just for wemon but for anyone who’s a victim of abuse, and wasn’t a perfect victim…who is slandered, and misunderstood to justify what their abuser did to them, in the eyes of the pepole…living a reality that doesn’t necciary have room for empathy. Not just my father, but billionaires, wealthy pepole —in general, zionists, facists…and just regulr pepole who dont ever keep up with poetics, and how lucky and privileged they are to get to be oblivious to the world, becuase it just doesn’t effect them enough —where they would ever have to care.

Everyone in the world, in a way, is living their own reality, their own full reality with its own version of Truth, of what matters and what doesn’t, witch is often at odds with other people’s Reality’s —and often two cannot coexist, if fully understood. The reality’s of some pepole, that they live in, is very influenced by Probaganda, or a very selective roster of accessibtible information. For example, somone growing up in the Bible Belt in amercia, will have a different reality, informed by their lived experince, and will view SIN, and abortion and other things as evil, when most pepole dont believe in Sin and view things like Abortion, IVF, LGBT pepole, as morally natural —just parts of everyday life, not really these big Sins you need to desgin your whole life around opppsing. Most pepole dont just live their own reality’s, but put a lot of waight on those reality’s, a lot of porpose pepole —-need world views, and its good everyone has their own unique way of seeing the world, everyone shouldn’t see the world in exactly the same way. But it sometimes gets tricky, when the vast majority of peoples devsion, and wildly differing world views both influenced by their own lived experince, what they know and what they feel the need/motivated/insteivised to know (most pepole have a very hard time changing their mind about anything espcially anything related to their core belief, that have made part of their indidty, livelihood and core to their life overall —witch can make critiques or questioning of that worldview feel like a personal attack, making pepole less likely to be truly, open minded) 

Like if your rich and you never have to interact with poor pepole expect in nameless charity donations to make yourself look and feel better about your morality and “giving back” not even bothering to check, if the charity is reputable, or if they actully give poor pepole the money—directly, instead of building shelters and infrastructure that would…end up being gatekept from the pepole who need it most, or just have people who work at the charity end up fooling rich dudes with good PR, but is actully a scam where the pepole who run the charity pocket most of the money—-witch is most of them by the way.

 Pepole all around the world, have different reality’s 

 need to shut out, to maintain the cohesive, and functional Sancicty of their own reality, and worldview. Such a fact, has only been supercharged by the rise of misinformation, AI, (Witch hasn’t even hit its peak when it comes to AI being used for Poltical, and pop cultural misinformation) 

Here’s a theory I have developed over a the last few years,
