“There is a difference between our strike and all those you’ve practiced for centuries: our strike consists, not of making demands, but of granting them. We are evil, according to your morality. We have chosen not to harm you any longer. We are useless, according to your economics. We have chosen not to exploit you any longer. We are dangerous and to be shackled, according to your politics. We have chosen not to endanger you, nor to wear the shackles any longer. We are only an illusion, according to your philosophy. We have chosen not to blind you any longer and have left you free to face reality-the reality you wanted, the world as you see it now, a world without mind.

    I have unconditional love for you, I want you to be free. You want me to bend to your will. See what a nice person I am? You want me enslaved, that’s not nice. It’s all about being nice, right?

    The goal of "The Strike"- to leave you "free to face reality-the reality you wanted, the world as you see it now, a world without mind," which means without my personally held and private motive. However, the conflict arises when your motive becomes visible through recognition or acknowledgment? The only way to secure your motive, own it, and exercise it; and hence make a complete break from the world of your past is to proudly assert that motive openly.
