Bill Hicks was wrong. He might have been a good guy but he was not right on everything and this video was one area he was wrong. Not everyone will just decide to change things and when some do while some don't, the ones that do are killed by the ones that don't.
Like gun control. It only works if/when you get the criminals to obey.
You're swinging at air, that was not his intention with that final closing speech. I can't even imagine what he'd do today when the Corona psyop hit around the world. He only dealt with the Waco psyop, the scale of the psyops has grown with each occurrence as they get more and more brazen.
It's not about self-defense strategies. It's about understanding the world and living it in a certain way. You can defend yourself and your family, have a gun, shoot, don't shoot... whatever. It's about what principles you put first, which do you value most. Believe it or not this can have a powerful impact on how you live your life. You've mastered it when you understand that having your principles doesn't mean you have to let intruders rape your wife and kids.
What was his intention in that closing speech? Sounded clear to me but I do get distracted easy so I could have missed it.
I think it was to point out to people that ultimately we control our own fate. Life today is exactly what the devil convinced us we wanted or that we had no other choice. But it was still our choice and it's perfectly fine because "WE" can all change it whenever we want. There is no obstacle standing in our way except our own stubbornness to accept an error.
It along the lines of the idea that success is a state of mind. A "burn the boats" mentality toward what you want. It can be hard in our world, working alone in most cases, to see the changes in the world that you want. If you study history and philosophy enough you know that often the problem most have encountered is related to direction and path. Often it is more important to know where to throw the ball rather than simply how hard you can blindly throw it. Once you know your direction, ultimate success becomes irrelevant in many ways.
