Evading Haunted Governments
Direct democracies are too flat to be Hauntable.
Representative democracies, if their team of representatives is small enough to know each other, are also too flat.
A community of under 300 Human Beings is any way too small to be Hauntable no matter how they organize them Selves.
And there may be other ways to structure a governing Body, forgotten in our current age, that evade the danger of Haunting.
But: the Governments of most lands do not meet such standards.
Question: What if one can not leave the land ruled by one’s current Government, which has grown too large and hierarchical to avoid being Haunted?
Answer: Retreat to some place where it won’t find you.
Government Bodies, like natural bodies, have limbs and organs and senses.
They must choose where to search with their senses.
They must choose where to reach with their limbs.
They must choose where their organs will reside.
If one lives where one’s Government does not choose to look or reach or make its Home, then its supposed rule over that place is rule in name only. If one can keep quiet and avoid its Notice, one can live free of it.
Even if one can not escape that far, there are many examples, through out history, of a Government’s organ rejecting its Body, quietly over run and reclaimed by the local Human Beings who compose it.
But here we must be ware.
For that approach to succeed, the subverted Body must be especially care full not to draw attention to its self; those who use their Enemy’s own tools against it must expect to provoke that Enemy’s special ire.
And any plot to over run local limbs of a far a way Government will its self be a large group of Human Beings. Be ware that such a group is not, its self, allowed to become a large hierarchical Body, ripe to be destroyed from within by the same inhuman Will it was created to oppose.
As always: when fighting an inhuman spirit of Tyranny, we must be ware of giving it a beach head by which to sneak, concealed by hierarchy, in to our midst.
