- An Off-Road Brain -
|
||
by Spartacus
|
||
|
||
|
||
Today I went to the mall. Not to hang out. To buy something. I needed a
|
||
ride. I went with my mom. We went in. We bought. We came back out. There
|
||
was a woman who had laid a baby on a car hood. It was crying because of the
|
||
heat of the metal against its skin this unseasonably hot day. She was
|
||
changing it's diaper.
|
||
|
||
Of course, my mother, fundamentalist Christian and good little citizen that
|
||
she was, felt the need to protest. "Imagine exposing the poor thing out
|
||
there in public like that. It's so crass." (Slightly paraphrased because I
|
||
can't remember the words.) Good citizen, upholding the public morality.
|
||
Let's all give her a hand.
|
||
|
||
*** STOP! ***
|
||
|
||
Can you see what's wrong with this picture?
|
||
|
||
See baby. See baby being changed. See baby being changed on car hood. See
|
||
car hood fry baby like egg. Complain about crass exposure of baby's unclean
|
||
backside????
|
||
|
||
I tried to explain to her. Who cares about the fucking parking lot??? It's
|
||
not as if it were a busy day and there were many people out there. Probably
|
||
get more traffic in a bathroom. She wouldn't listen. "I still think it's
|
||
crass." Yay society.
|
||
|
||
Society is probably the worst thing for us. We should all just abolish all
|
||
this crap. Total anarchy. Run around and kill everyone. Just like war, only
|
||
you don't even have to leave home. Weed out a lot of bad seeds this way,
|
||
before a government is reestablished. Do this a few times, most of humanity
|
||
might even be able to live WITHOUT killing each other. Wishful thinking
|
||
maybe. I think it's at least worth a try. More than more weapons, more than
|
||
more technology, more than more money, food, democracy, paper, children,
|
||
space, anything...what we need is people who think for themselves. Who can
|
||
agree to disagree. Who don't feel that their way is the only way. Who can
|
||
stop to think about each other as people and not things. Whose care is
|
||
stronger than their weak stomachs and distaste.
|
||
|
||
Most people, whether you accept it or not, are like livestock. A few people
|
||
have it together. They're the ones who see we are sheep, and don't like it.
|
||
Want to do something about it. Want to at least get it out of their own
|
||
lives. Then there are the worst people. The totalitarian and religious
|
||
fanatics. The ones who see we are sheep, and like it that way. Then there
|
||
are the confused masses inbetween, who muddle their way through life never
|
||
knowing or really much caring what it is about. They follow and think they
|
||
lead. They serve and think they are masters. They muddle about in the
|
||
darkness having never opened their eyes.
|
||
|
||
Most people follow. Nearly all. They follow a lot of different leaders.
|
||
Follow God. Follow the Pope, let him follow God. Follow Hitler. Follow
|
||
Satan. Follow the trends, those rippling waves that wash to and fro through
|
||
society. Follow Allah (just another form of God). Everyone following
|
||
something. Then there are the leaders. Most leaders are followers. Follow
|
||
money, follow power for its own sake. Just something the very society they
|
||
were born into leads them to want to have. They follow the dead leaders
|
||
that preceded them. Goes back to the founding leader. He started something
|
||
for some reason. Very often because he was following the values of another
|
||
leader of something totally different.
|
||
|
||
A few leaders are not followers. They lead themselves, and others too. But
|
||
they are very few. Thre are reasons, of course. There seems to be a reason
|
||
for almost everything. Usually a dumb reason, but there nevertheless.
|
||
Someone who thinks for himself is very uncomfortable for conformist cattle
|
||
to be around. They bring new ideas, follow values different than society.
|
||
They have to find a group of wanna-be followers, people that can't fit in
|
||
with the current society, but still want to fit in, want something or
|
||
someone they can follow. Then the freethinker has to get them to follow
|
||
HIM. This is a very hard thing for a lot of people. And any such new
|
||
movement is likely to be crushed by oppression from the existing order. All
|
||
these groups and religions and hierarchies and government and such have one
|
||
thing in common: a monomaniacal desire for MORE FOLLOWERS! What's the
|
||
point? There is none. I guess it's what the first guy wanted who started
|
||
religions/governments (yes, they used to be one and the same) and no one
|
||
else came up with a new idea. Conformists who become leaders are known for
|
||
their lack of creativity. We'll never really know though. It probably
|
||
happened far before history could tell us.
|
||
|
||
Another reason: a lot of freethinkers don't want to be leaders anyway. They
|
||
want people to be themselves, not try to emulate, obey, or serve them.
|
||
Sometimes they'll take these things as second choice anyway tho.
|
||
|
||
Yes, another reason: there aren't too many freethinkers anyway. We've
|
||
always been rare, and had an appalingly short life expectancy. The bastards
|
||
who CURRENTLY run the world don't like us. Niether do most of the people.
|
||
They never have. They brand us lunatics, heretics, seditionists,
|
||
insurrectionists, enemies of the people. When only among us can be found
|
||
the people's true friends. They lie to themselves and lash out at us when
|
||
we speak the truth. They have locked us up, suppressed us, brainwashed us,
|
||
given us electroshock therapy, and killed us in thousands of ways, varying
|
||
widely in their cruelty. We have been killed by mobs. We have been killed
|
||
by isolated individuals. We have been killed by the Spanish Inquisition. We
|
||
have been killed by soldiers and policemen. We have been killed by
|
||
executioners after a trial by grand jury.

|
||
Just a brief note: while I was writing that paragraph, there was a bit of
|
||
an interruption. My sister wanted the computer to type something for
|
||
school. I hate when that happens when I'm writing. When I'm REALLY writing.
|
||
I have something I need to say and the words flow out onto the page as fast
|
||
as my fingers can type them. When I'm spilling the contents of my soul or
|
||
mind or heart or all three into the computer, paper, or whatever. When I
|
||
really have to say it. There is a driving force, a compulsion. I HAVE to
|
||
write and I hate being interrupted. I feel like my fingers are bleeding
|
||
from being pulled from the keyboard. I felt like I had to break something
|
||
but instead I just walked outside and watched all the people. All the
|
||
people I was watching looked at me. They looked nervous. People aren't used
|
||
to anyone actually giving a shit about them, being interested in what they
|
||
are doing, so they figure I must be stalking them or something. See, do
|
||
anything society doesn't think is "normal", it doesn't matter if it's good
|
||
or bad, people hate you for it.
|
||
|
||
Now back to your regularly unscheduled textfile...
|
||
|
||
--- Yes, there has been a program going on among the establishment, all the
|
||
varying forms of the establishment, as long as history records, to destroy
|
||
all of us, to eliminate us from the gene pool. It is a plan every bit as
|
||
subtle as a left hook. No wonder most people don't really realize it. The
|
||
leaders have been breeding EVERYONE to be conformist, to be dependent, to
|
||
be cattle.
|
||
|
||
If you are the pope or a minister or president or premier or dictator or
|
||
cop or district attorney or executioner or "good clean citizen" who doesn't
|
||
like all this stuff, because you are too blindly loyal to your country
|
||
("patriotic") I have a special message for you from us. The few. The
|
||
enlightened. The thinkers. Beings complete within themselves. WE KNOW YOU
|
||
ARE KILLING US, WE KNOW YOU ARE SUPPRESSING US, WE KNOW WHAT A THIN FLIMSY
|
||
VEIL THE ILLUSION OF FREEDOM IN THE "FREE WORLD" REALLY IS. Much as we'd
|
||
like you to stop, we are NOT afraid of your fucking guns, or your weapons,
|
||
your witch hunts, your police, your prison camps.
|
||
|
||
We have ONE THING you don't have and CAN NEVER HAVE
|
||
(or you wouldn't be what you are),
|
||
and it is our sword
|
||
and our shield
|
||
and our light
|
||
and our darkness
|
||
and our day
|
||
and our night
|
||
and our country
|
||
and our government
|
||
and our constitution
|
||
and our right
|
||
and our wrong
|
||
and our strength
|
||
and our weakness
|
||
and our life
|
||
and our death
|
||
and our heaven
|
||
and our hell
|
||
and our god
|
||
and our devil
|
||
and our only truth
|
||
and our only law
|
||
and the one thing that cannot be taken
|
||
and cannot be given,
|
||
and that is OURSELVES.
|
||
We have ourselves.
|
||
We don't need you.
|
||
Fuck you all.
|
||
Fuck your leaders.
|
||
Fuck your ancestors.
|
||
Fuck your money.
|
||
Fuck your respect.
|
||
Fuck your laws.
|
||
Fuck your gods.
|

|
||
"I'm free up HERE!" said, Bozo, the crippled broke pavement artist in
|
||
George Orwell's "Down and Out in Paris and London." Read Orwell. He knows
|
||
his shit. Maybe you'll learn something. Maybe it'll lead you to finding
|
||
yourself. Then you'll be one of us.
|
||
|
||
Read Ibsen's "Enemy of the People" too. I really liked it. It has a nifty
|
||
and controvesial message. Don't reject it just because it may offend you.
|
||
Think it out. Truth hurts sometimes.
|
||
|
||
I was raised in the Christian faith. Later, as you probably see by now, I
|
||
rejected it completely. The Bible says, "Love your neighbor as yourself."
|
||
Most Christians I know don't seem to love other people for shit. I know I
|
||
didn't.
|
||
|
||
I love people, in general, more now than I did then. I love them enough to
|
||
offend them and curse at them and whatever it takes, to maybe wake them up
|
||
from their complacency and let them know themselves for what they are, and
|
||
work from there.
|
||
|
||
I hate people too. Love and hate are really two sides of the same coin.
|
||
Contempt is really the true opposite of both love and hate. You don't
|
||
really give a shit. I do that too. It depends on my mood. Sometimes it
|
||
varies over less than thirty seconds. But still I love people more than I
|
||
did as a Christian type. You can't really love someone, I think, unless you
|
||
own yourself. If you are a follower you are too wrapped up in the system to
|
||
have anything of yourself to give. Same goes for hate. But you can't really
|
||
contempt either. You are too much wrapped up in everyone else for true
|
||
contempt. True warm perfect love, true rabid killing hate, true
|
||
wipe-you-out- of-my-plane-of-existence contempt, are all unknown to the
|
||
masses. They haven't the internal resources. Always stuck in neutral
|
||
really, wobbling about with half-feelings. Usually someone else's
|
||
half-feeling, at that.
|
||
|
||
Wake up. Look. Listen. Think. Act. You make the rules when you form your
|
||
own opinions. It hurts, but it's worth it.
|
||
|
||
Think.
