Don't Look Within

There's a visible pattern in bad philosophy: It requires us to undergo an internal struggle as a means of dealing with our internal misery, with the expectation of causing external good. The problem with this mentality is that the mind of the subject is not a good foundation for meeting existential needs. The essence of the individual is what gives him the strength to carry on. Without the essence there is no peace, one's own body carrying out its basic functions for survival can cause the subject harm if he lacks the essence to protect himself, therefore it is imperative that any philosophical viewpoint that lacks a healthy foundation for one's essence be replaced with one that does.

An early example of this is Gnostic Christianity that requires understanding the knowledge of Jesus Christ's teachings as a means of going to heaven instead of the typical process. Interestingly enough the Gnostic gospel's Jesus has a Nietzschian vibe that's antithetical to the Jesus we typically know of. The knowledge of this Jesus's teachings is more important in this case than our faith in him, however even in the possession of this knowledge new holes form. Those who are spiritual, yet lack religion are merely using their religions as a means to create their own world narrative, enter protestantism.

Now Protestantism has a different history, and it's certainly become something different from what it originally was. However the variety of different denominations with different principles shows that it certainly goes through the motions a lot more than usual: Pentecostals that value undergoing religious experiences, 7th day adventists with their strange diet plan, and Calvinists with their predestination beliefs. Once you step into these churches, you typically learn that God has a plan for each and every one of you, how do you know of this plan? Just look into your heart, maybe he wants you to sing right now, or maybe he wants you to open a charity, but he has a plan for you. Of course Satan is also speaking inside your head, so you have to make the distinction from the voices of the flesh and god's plan.

Going back to AP English/your freshman year in philosophy class there's also nihilism, which embodies the words of Nietzsche. Nihilism is interesting because almost every political ideology is based on this viewpoint. Everyone uses Nietzsche for their thesis, even though everyone's debating each other. It's not hard to tell why: God has "died", yet everyone's an ideologue nowadays. The problem with nihilism is that on one hand it believes that man can transcend without god, and on the other it believes that some men can fall into the abyss and take off with anything of value. Sadly many people have tried to fall into the abyss because of this, and instead of leaving as transcendent beings, or monsters, they leave as Rainbow Anthropomorphic Ponies.

V for Voluntary!

The Recipe for Disaster/The Formula for Success

Leftist politics/philosophy is becoming more and more radical, yet it's also taking on several (almost unrelated) issues at once. In fact, I wouldn't even call this a liberal only thing, after all conspiracy theorists love to throw random tidbits into their documentaries, thus making reactionaries tackle numerous issues at once. This is only one half of an unchecked for part of human nature and intelligence. Another issue is the fact that each ideology continues to radicalize as their narrative continues. After all, Marx would have never suspected the radicalism his views would bear.

It seems that we are gradually crystallizing and radicalizing/polarizing our viewpoints each time we reflect upon them. This is why simply taking the principles of an idea can oftentimes gradually lead to taking on an entirely different worldview. The oppression narrative originally started on the basis of workers rights, yet as the narrative progresses it moves on to race, gender, and sexual orientation. This is why it's not weird for someone to be called "Racist, Sexist, Homophobic, and bigoted" for being pro-life.

It's for this reason that those in the Right Wing act differently as well. Right Wingers instinctively target multiple agendas in their critiques and must find ways to connect them. The difference is that to anyone else who isn't consciously connecting these issues, they must fall into the grace of those that can explain and connect the narrative to them. This typically means that they'll fall into various leftist perspectives, either that or they'll be conservatives, AKA liberals minus 20 years. This presents a problem for us, as we'll have to reprogram everyone in terms of their outlook on the world. It's not going to be nearly as bad as how the White Nationalists/Libertarians/Manosphere will want us to believe. Their difficulties stem from the fact that they still have issues of their own that they must deal with. Which is why their debates tend to be squash matches. Sadly, we will have to stomach through Lefty land, in order to take over the narrative.

Edit: 7/20/13: I know the term tumblr users like to use is intersectionality, yet I wrongfully neglected to take that term into account.

The Illusion of Tyranny/Waiting for Death

The typical critique of slavery is that it renders man into machine, that the enslaved subject becomes an object; The typical problem with critiques of "objectification", is that the solution typically creates a worse objectification. Such is the case with the slave/Master relationship, a relationship where both parties have an objective goal. By taking away the chains of the slave, you are robbing him of that clarity, of that cosmic resonance, thus rendering him in an animalistic environment.

The modern economy is seen as a series of distractions where the typical person is searching for some illusion of tyranny. Schools initially act strict and unforgiving, up until the students start waking up to their own freedom, then classes start to become more lazy, more unproductive, and more meaningless. Adolescents is growing longer and longer with the rise in high school, college, and even graduate school, as it's becoming more and more obvious that people are just occupying their time with busywork. It's becoming clear that their life is simply a long/short wait until their inevitable demise.

There's no surprise that those affected most will either support the most semi-oppresive regimes out there (The democrats), or they'll willfully envision an illusion of a tyrannical movement such as the NWO. Corruption lies everywhere in this world, perhaps more than ever, but because we've been freed from our bondage we've grown indifferent/supportive of it. The Masters have it pretty bad too, they're the ones trying to cater to us for their support; institutions that we used to serve, now exist to serve us. This is typically called "The Enlightenment" however as an idea, it's far from being enlightening. You might think that our freedom causes us to shun their seductions into oblivion, however institutions such as marriage, and religion, government, and even The State continue to exist perhaps stronger than ever, despite being half of their former glory.
