How to Truly Fight the System in 2020

Fight the counterintuitive rebellion

‘Fight the system’ is the soup du jour, except most people, are doing it wrong. They’re fighting for symbolic victories over real victories. They’re aiming for unrealistic outcomes.

In doing what the power structures want them to do, they’re actually further propping up the system they say they’re fighting. It’s quite interesting to watch, honestly. And some people wouldn’t understand me if I explained it to them in-depth. Sad.

My business coach said something interesting to me the other day. She said, “You’re fighting against the system and rebelling by becoming conventionally successful, but in your own way.” Yes.

Winning, in a world full of losers, is counter-cultural these days. Sad thing is, I don’t think people are inherently losers, but they’ve developed a real aversion to winning.

It’s en vogue to be aimless, nihilistic, apathetic, and a beggar to the institutions of society.

Don’t believe me?

Go have conversations with people in 2020 and say out loud that you’re just going to focus on your own life, help others where you can in narrow pockets, and mostly keep to yourself. You will be chastised for it.
