Freedom In Singapore

I am Xeno Boy, I am the Political Savant, the owner of this Blog. I intend to pay with my blood and my brains back to the PAP what they have taken from me.

Today, I publish my first thesis on Freedom in Singapore.

In one of his seminal essays, Immanuel Kant states that there is a kind of freedom where even when you are chained and shackled in the dungeons of Hell, you remain free. Freedom because you refuse the shackling of your brain by your captors. The fact that you are imprisoned means that you are Free.

Converse to the freedom mentioned is the imprisonment when you are free to do what you want. The people are "free" to do whatever they want, they have a false sense of liberation because the system has already conditioned the inputs from which you decode the notion of freedom. Are you Free?

Zoom back to Singapore. You are free to do alot of things. You are given money, rental Government apartments, aptly termed as FLATS, but the people are Free only within the zones of freedom as programmed and coded by the PAP. This is a freedom which is the most dangerous because, this freedom shackles and chains the inner spirit. It kills the Spirit of the Full Man. You are Free but you are shackled and doomed.

Move to the Opposition. The "politicians" in this category, Mr Low, Mr Chiam and Dr Chee. You are born and bred within the PAP system. They have allowed you your little fiefdoms only because the PAP creates these buffers of false freedom to ensure that the overall chimera of democracy in Singapore remains Intact. By playing with this notion of Freedom, you perpetuate the illusion. Play politics beccause politics and politics alone can break the illusion. Politics is Illusion in excellence. Only Politics can break the political illusion of freedom created by the PAP.

The first notion of Politics is to mobilise. To first mobilise, you have to gain expertise. To gain expertise, you seek "experts". In today's world, there is this technology known as the Internet. You are global in cyberspace.

Politicians of Singapore Listen and Listen Well!! Use technology to tread where the heroes before you have Fallen (JBJ, Francis Seow, Tang my bows) Learn the first notion of Politics. Mobilise. Learn how to mobilise. Use Technology.

The spark of the circuit board can spark the numbed political self of Singaporeans.

i must say that the notion of "free" described borders dangerous. wordsmiths frequently skew our thoughts by making us focus only on one subject. why don't explain what anarchism means? do u consider the american people to be a free people?

Anarchism is a utopian anachronism. It will not and will never work.

the concept of free i espouse is not as dangerous as the freedom which you allude to.

How would having an identity make what he says any more true?

While putting a name to your words is admirable, remaining anonymous is not contemptible, especially if you face the threat of very real and unjust sanctions.

Anarchism is not utopian. It is utopian because that's what the capitalist pigs want you to believe.

If socialism is the saviour of this world, then Anarchism is the purest form of Socialism.

I admire your words and works, nevertheless.

To IMAGOD,

My oh my. I missed such a provocative comment. My apologies.

First, your obersvations of the situation in Singapore is spotless. The notion of the Terrorcrat is particularly precise. I share the same view. For me, I would like to cut the observation even finer, look for the unspoken in Singapore. And the unspoken is the political.

I assert that it matters not to me the merits of intellectual labels. I am simultaneously differing and defering from all the labels levelled against me. It does not matter.

What I see as more stimulating are some of the ideas thrown up in the comments which help refine me even as I weave a ficcione of a Singapore I wish it was rather than it is now.

He has researched more than anyone I know on some of the worst things a government can do to his own people.

All this is not just a Singapore problem , its a South East Asian problem , look at all the countries , most are authoriritarian governments. This type of government has failed all over the world in the long term . Also look at the ineffectiveness of Asean , everyone looking after there own needs , not the Asean community needs.
