Society really sickens me and I think it's time to act. In short: I wont play with them anymore, from now on I'm playing my own game.

Society sickens me. So I think I will just unsubscribe myself from society. I don't play along anymore. From now on I play my own game.
I can't understand why people still cooperate with the system while the system couldn't care less.
Politics don't revolve around politics anymore. A country with only two political parties, both of them right-winged, bombs other countries against the will of it's own people in the name of democracy. While the ruling president isn't even elected the way it's supposed to go in a democratic system. We live under laws that have no connection what so ever with the reality of the people living under them. We are forced in a structure alien to our own needs and desires. We are forced to earn a living. And therefor we are forced to work. And because we have to work, we can't do the things we would really like to do. Instead we need to work harder and harder. Buy tv's and washing machines and portable computers, for you can't be happy without them.
This is a whole system that systematically breaks off every trace of the individual in society and turns everyone into a number. And I just wont take this any longer. If everybody around the globe said:'ok, that's enough. You guys can do whatever you like, but I'm not playing along anymore. From now on I'm playing my own game' then the people would be in control of their own lives. It's just a matter of doing.
Still everybody seems to accept the way things are going. And i wonder: Is this because the people are stupid, or is this because they are kept stupid?
Anyway, if you realize the system doesn't work, and you would like to do stuff your own way, do like me. Say no and stop playing along. It's the only way to reach some change. So in fact this is a call for disobedience. Please stop playing along. I can not and will not live in a world like this. But change is possible, you only have to do it yourself. Please help me. Change this.
If we can only gather enough people who wont play along anymore, the game is over.
Another world is possible and we pledge to make it real.
