tactical frivolity
Tactical Frivolity is a space that exists in the gap between total compliance and violent confrontation. It is not driven by absolutes but by stretching the limits of understanding, to include all humans in a productive constructive course towards a joyous celebration of life.
It assumes that everyone strives for what they believe is the best thing, whether it be better schools for their children, or just simply clean water and a decent meal each day. To wipe out misery, all that is needed is a shift in what people believe to be the best thing.
This can only be achieved by example. If one exudes delight, instantly, people around one want to know why, and how you can help them towards the same thing. It is fear of an uncertain future that makes people obsessed with stock pilling assets, at the expense of others. In doing so they loose the only thing that will protect them against whatever may come.
THE most valuable and powerful thing any of us can attain is a deep sense of self worth, backed up by strong brothers and sisters who value us for ourselves and not our money.
There are no rules to these ideas; this is not a "revolution"(in my opinion), not just another turn of the wheel, but an attempt at a permanent evolution of our species away from self-destruction and towards not just survival, but a deeply profound appreciation of our own self-rightness.
Essentially, if you're not happy, you're doing the wrong thing!!!!
I haven't attempted to convey any of this in writing as the best expression of these ideas I have come up with so far has been in the form of carnival. I make ridiculous fan tail outfits and go on demonstrations.
I do not wear masks to hide my identity, as I am proud of what I am doing. I am often to be found in the physical space between total compliance and violent confrontation, in the form of police and protesters in riots.
Amazingly, I find I am fairly safe, as the police rarely want to batter me and dogging flying missiles is not so hard if you keep your wits about you! I am not brave; I just refuse to allow myself to be controlled by fear.
I don't really feel able to explain precisely what my presence achieves as most things of real value are unquantifiable. I can only say that I value the hearts and minds of those I am opposing more than any violent vent of frustration.
