Thoughts on Liberty






All the media coverage of Kim Jong Ill has got me thinking. . .

Seems to me that the gist of the reporting involving that fella centers on how fucked up he is in the head, how delusional the population of his nation be. From videos of marching schoolchildren singing songs about how they will stomp to death anyone who attempts to interfer with their progress towards school, to reports of brainwashed 'minders' who will bring up the details of Dear Leader's latest golf game - '19 under par with seven holes in one!' - without a trace of sarcasm. I doubt anyone could find a more perfect example of the horrible spiritual damage that can be inflicted upon a society with a combination of police state and mass media. Those who don't buy the pseudo-dogmatic propaganda are removed from society, those who can manage to self-hypnotize themselves into believing magical rainbows appeared at the moment of Mr. Ill's birth (on a magical mountian) are kept - and they devote the rest of their lives to insuring that their children buy into the same fables.

So add the poor fucks in North Korea to the long list of societies that have been mutilated by mass media. They can take their place next to the Germans' under the Nazi's, or the Red Commies under Mao, or those dumbass scientologists (who qualify for tax-free status, can you fucking believe it?)

I've been blogging for at least a year now, and while I'm content to try to save the souls of the evags and encourage them to get something out of their youth and their time on this planet, what really drives me to drink are the right-wing bloggers. Like, they have never taken the time to wonder how an educated society like '30's Germany could flip-flop into racist fanaticism in just under five years. Like, they don't have the fucking first impulse to understand how such things are inflicted upon a society, let's just trust that our own leaders are good. It's like interacting with members of Kim Jong Ill's society.

The parallels can lure a thinking man into ramming his cranium into his 17" monitor.

When I read so many of those types of blogs, this one negative thought keeps intruding into my consciousness again and again: Huzzah for our Glorious Leader! We invest our own ego into the Image of our Glorious Leader! While the complexity of the medium is superior, the tactic ain't much different from what was used in Nazi Germany or Goofy-Commie North Korea. The vast majority (if not the totality) of the media focuses on simple themes that glorify the leader - and a large percentage will indentify with him and participate in the 'game.'

I know that blogmad be down right now, so not many will read this. Aside from my tight pack, a good deal of the random/adversarial readers of this blog are probably thinking right now that they can find errors in my arguements - that I'm a moonbat or whatever the term being fed to you is this week. To you I can just say, fuck ya. If you are over twenty, and you have not read five or six books about how propaganda works, well, fuck ya. Obviously, you don't give a shit about your country or your liberty. You are just a little fascist bitch, who thinks that as long as you do what you are told you should be rewarded.

I mean that bitch statement, I really do, I could not have less respect for that sort of man. They never do anything for themselves. They get an 'education' cuz they hope to be rewarded by their class betters for it. They do what they are told and hope to be rewarded. The clues to reality are not that well hidden from ya, they just don't get written into the plot of 'Everybody fucking Loves Raymond.'

Civ4 players all over the world are tight with the Franklin quote about liberty; 'those who would give up liberty for a little security deserve neither and will loose both.'

Evag's have this one analogy that they love to envoke when defining how the 'material world' or the 'secular world' is going to shit. 'A frog thrown into a pot of boiling water will beat ass getting out, but if you put a frog in a pot of warm water and slowly increase the temp it'll sit in there until it cooks.' I don't know if that's true, and with an extinction event occuring in the class amphibians right now, I might never be able to determine personally, but the logic is engaging.

Only the stupidest of dumbfucks would argue with the fact that for the entire fucking history of modern man a small group has been in the ruling class, and 99.9% have been the serfs, slaves, soldiers, and concubines of the ruling class. The fucking ruling class made a sport of war, mainly cuz they wanted to rid themselves of a generation of twenty-something males who might otherwise threaten their monopoly on everything.

The brave revolutionaries of Liberalism gave fucking everything to bring down the age of kings and absolute rule. For a brief little spell in America, the son of a Wal-Mart greeter had the same rights to a jury before his peers that a member of the aristocracy had in feudal Europe.

Like the proverbial frog in the pot of water, in the last ten years we've lost so much ground. If you and a member of the Bush family want the same thing, well, too fucking bad for you, they can do anything to you - call you a 'terrorist' - and you have no rights whatsoever. They have proclaimed, and proven with the acts, that they can pick up anybody, anywhere in the world, drug them and put them in adult diapers, and ship them to their torturers de jour. At a nod from G.W.B, all of your rights and your possesions go out the fucking window.

Good thing the worthless dipshits who support Bush put so much trust in him, cuz that sort of trust is never betrayed by leaders who are above any law.

Earth to douchebags, there is a reason that those of us who can still get hard are so crazy about defending our liberties. Everyone who has ever criticized the ACLU deserves to have their balls cut off and dropped into a pool of salt water. What the fuck is your problem? Don't you understand how rare and fragile having Liberties is? You don't wait around for what you think might be a serious threat and then get around to defending your liberty, fuck that. You jump on every and all threats to the legal concepts of liberty and you fucking take it to 'em. An American's duties as a citizen are no less.

Oh, but I forgot, a worthless fuck like that doesn't give a shit about liberty or freedom. That's while they'll listen to a corporation explain the news to them. That's why they'll listen to a Sean Hannity, or a Bill O'Reilly, cuz they would rather be told what to do than let their balls' drop out of their abdomen.

Anyone who can read this has access to the internet. I'm not going to tell you what to read - get off your lazy ass and read some stuff you don't agree with and some stuff you do. Keep at it, and be willing to let you compass drift. - If you think that the liberties we died for in theRevolution, and then preserved in the World Wars are now set in stone, well you can get fucked. We live in a very interesting time right now, cuz the resources that made an American middle class viable are no longer exploding out of the ground.

I meet these people who have these little poodles and other dogs that can't even bark, and I feel sorry for the animals, cuz they have been modified so far from the evolutionary product that they could never survive more than a few generations in the wild. They are a dead end. Sucks to be them.

In the last twenty years so much entertainment and luxury have been permitted our class that too many of us have forgotten what reality was like. Now, after a generation and a half seperates us from the Great Depression, we are stumbling into a system that makes no sense and is not good for America. Too bad we have so many misbred fucks who can no longer bark.

Just because Ken Lay is dead does not mean their are not thousands out there eagar to sell you another variety of Enronomics. Quit buying that shit and start standing up for yourselves and your class.

Comments:
Since when is it necessary for any of the books I or anyone else has read to specifically address propaganda as a topic in order to be able to recognize it? Although we've hashed this one out before, I'm still going to claim that making propaganda a topic of study in its own right is not by half the only way to learn about it. I'll also go further in asserting that to believe that such is necessary is pure arrogance of intellect. Skepticism is not a
realm that belongs solely to the learned- as it's been pointed out by someone smarter than me, there're most surely barely-literate Chinese farmers who have figured out enough about propaganda to be disgruntled as well as poli-sci majors who blindly throw in their lot with the ideology of whichever professor is the most charismatic.
 
Where have you gone?
 
Rob?

Is this Rob T, me 'ole room-mate?

Sure Skepticims is not the purely the realm of the learned, but then skepticism might not be the opposite of Propaganda.

Sure someone could learn about the manipulation of the masses via any number of non-traditional means, yet I've found in this world that sometimes the traditional method (i.e. read a fucking book) might be the most cost effective means.

I think I all boils down to class warfare. Until someone is brought into the insight that permits them to see the class lines that we are told do not exist in America, they cannot make accurate judgements as to who is their ally and who wants to fuck them without lube.
