They are exceptionally aware that they wallpaper reality with fictions that are lies, whole lies, and nothing but lies. After all, they exploit fictions to command and control the ruled to keep their power theirs and to keep their power secure.

Hope is no panacea.
It presumes (1) that the ruled can't handle the truth and (2) that the ruled are powerless. Hence, the pushing of hope to command and control the ruled. Because the powerless can be commanded and controlled by hope pandering. Right?
Likewise fear.
Fear too presumes (1) that the ruled can't handle the truth and (2) that the ruled are powerless. Hence, the pushing of fear to command and control the ruled. Because the powerless can be commanded and controlled by fear pandering. Right?

The powerful fear powerlessness and impotence.
So they wallpaper reality with a fiction that flips the truth upside down:
the powerless and the impotent are the ruled.
But it takes more than declaring a fiction: real honest to command and control the ruled.
Right?
So the powerful who double down on lies with lies without apology double down with:
the ruled need rulers.
Especially rulers who exploit hope. Especially rulers who exploit fear. Especially rulers for whom morality and justice are props as insincere and disingenuous as surrogates.
To save the ruled.
Not, to, above all, self serve. Much less: to keep their power theirs and to keep their power secure. Never.
But:
rulers are not stupid.

The first step to the road to recovery of the truth is to admit that it's quite dim right now across the planet that it's almost black. How does one who cares, who fights not be depressed about what they see day in and day out - to see potential in a planet's being but watch it reduce itself to playing games, making conversations, and utilizing technology like we would have in the Stone Age. Instead of using all of our tools to exchange the truth, elevate ideas of caring and equality for all, we instead use them to create a gigantic war zone where we bring others down in our bid to elevate ours and our masters to new heights that are arbitrary and without meaning. To promote the fame, power, lust, and greed of our kind (or more aptly those that rule us) in the hopes that it will trickle down. Are coattails all that you hope for - for your masters of your kind are not the sharing kind - nor do they care what happens to you and yours once it no longer supports their getting theirs. And for those that are, "brave," where are you? Why are you not standing next to those that fight alone for the benefit of all kind and a grandverse worthy of the moral mantle of divinity? Why must this be her fight and her fight alone - is it because there is no material gain, no social status, or power to be gained by disrupting a system designed to keep all but a few in theirs? For those of you, the, "Brave," postulate this: The heaviest penalty for refusing to stand and justly rule is to be ruled by those that are the worst kind, those that are morally, conscientiously inferior to the very beings that gave use free will. You are essentially choosing to be ruled by cowards, lusters of fame and power and wealth, and who will do anything, say anything to ensure that their monuments and testaments are all that remains - even when it[s a disc made of sand, left on a world as barren as a lifeless rock for a future that no longer cares about the past because it's all gone. Maybe - just maybe - instead of counting your likes - maybe - you will choose to turn your media, your thoughts, your actions to those things that do us all good. Maybe -
ReplyDeleteIs it not an interesting paradigm? We choose to believe the person who has millions of followers but speaks nothing but lies, acts only in their own interest as each like or post or tweet is money in the bank or fame in the annals or increases their power, and would enjoinder their "flock" to go forth and conquer fellows to advance their place OVER the person but with one follower who speaks only the truth, acts in everyone else's best interest without receiving a single dollar while caring not a wit of fame and rejecting power, and that beseeches all to go forth and elevate all kind around them to create a place that we all can enjoy. And because there is not evidence of money made - no huge like or hit count - or status associated with a title - we choose to ignore the truth and embrace the lie as if numbers, wealth, and power have ever equated to truth, justice, and fairness....
ReplyDeleteSomeone once stated, "Hope and Fear cannot occupy the same space at the same time."
ReplyDeleteTo many they are different - to the few who see the truth they exist in the same space at the same time as part of the human condition. They are reactions to each other and the means by which the "rulers" rule the "ruled."
The ones that are not the, "in" will say things like I am optimistic because I don't like the alternative and for that reason I have hope for our future. The fate of our kind depends on us weaponizing that hope to become activists, joining with more of our kind, and reclaiming this planet from "those people" that are hell bent on destroying our dreams and hope!
For those that are the, "in" they will say that I am afraid and don't like the alternative and for that reason I fear for our future.

And yet not one of them can see the shifting sands of their position, their stance. In today, out tomorrow. Ain't that some quackery!
To think that you stand !@#$ing alone, !@#$ing unbelieved is !@#$ing insanity. It's just time rip the proverbial !@#$ing Band-Aid off and scream Mother !@#$er into the wind. Enough is !@#$ing enough. You can't tell me that you are my !@#$ing enemy, and that I should not !@#$ing believe you because you stand by yourself! That's bull!@#$. You know how I know that you are not my !@#$ing enemy and that I should believe you? Because you have nothing !@#$ing to gain from any of this. Because that !@#$ is right in front of my !@#$ing eyes, my !@#$ing ears, and passes the bull!@#$ test. For those that don't believe you because you stand alone or are not corroborated - what !@#$ing planet are you? And go !@#$ yourself. A lot of !@#$ing evil !@#$ happens when we choose to ignore the only person taking a !@#$ing stand.
ReplyDeleteIn the end, I think you're !@#$ing right again! What I've always thought is that if you give a human a !@#$ing sharp object they are just going to impale themselves on the !@#$ing thing through their !@#$ing ignorance and stupidity.
