I am guilty myself of falling into this mindset at times, but no more. It just dehumanises people, which is exactly the opposite of the objective here - to awaken the human spirit residing within everyone, the spirit of liberty and uniqueness. Calling people 'sheeple' won't wake them up; it will just demean them in the same way that they are demeaned by the system. What you fight, you become.
So I refuse to derisively refer to my fellow human beings as sheeple. Besides, I don't have the right to use such terminology. Are you truly seperated from the livestock management program? Are you living out of a teepee or caravan or something, paying no taxes, growing your own food, supplying your own water and power, and trading in currency other than the legal mandated debt slave currency imposed by your national herd managers? Hey, if you can truly answer 'yes' to all of that, then I give you untold respect. But face it, chances are you are contributing to the system's wellbeing too. Which makes you - and me - very much part of the sheeple also!
It is clear to me that, although I always found the hippies a little odd, this is a rEVOLution which not only will not be fought by physical means, but which is the polar opposite of physical means; in fact, violence is no revolution at all, it is the continuation of the norm. Taxes. War. Democracy is based on imposing your will on someone else. The police and military would not exist if there was no-one to fight. But to realise that we need not be set against one another anymore, and that we are interconnected spiritual beings, boy that would be a real revolution. No more worrying about sheeple then.
"The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love instead see all of us as one." - Bill Hicks
(Not that I don't think 'buying guns' is completely moral and righteous to defend yourself, of course)
As a genuine hippy from the sixties I say with all due respect - far out and groovy man - that's real heavy shit!
