| The Rag and the Rabble Forward I find it interesting that people confuse virtue with vice. I find it interesting that people consider choice to be free will. I thought I would show them what is truly vice and who the true gods are. There a few who actually know these and those are the individuals who will not read this. Regrettably, I did not truly touch on free will, but maybe in future revisions it will be addressed. Ah well, for now I pray (well, not really pray) that some semblance of enlightenment comes from these unintelligible ramblings. The Rag and the Rabble The people today, they read and they watch and they laugh. They converse and they speak freely, or so they think their thought is free and their words untainted, but what do they know? The populace is overflowing with impoverished minds and, even worse, indigent souls that attempt to swap their cognitive exploits with others. What horrid folks wishing to spread their emptiness, believing it is their right and even more fervently believing it is the social will. These are those who attempt to change the minds of others, these are rabble. And with these men come their acolytes whom they have acquired through their rhetoric, and with them blaspheme life. You see, the acolytes too are rabble and they begin to debase the world. “What,” you say, “is it that makes these men so horrible?” as though you do not already know. Or is it, maybe, that you are one of them? These men blaspheme life; is that not enough to consider them rabble? Is it that you wish to know how they accomplish this? Fine then. I am certain you have met them, you know, those men who speak so exuberantly of the life after. Yes, the pious, and most of all the Christian. How often have you heard them singing of the splendor of the great hereafter without any regard to their current position as though it were of no import? They ignore this existence awaiting the next (as though there were one) subsequently forsaking life. For what reason do they live if this is so terrible compared to paradise? Maybe they do it to spite us? To spite those who know the truth. Or maybe even to lure others into the web of hope to have their souls devoured by a vampirish god? If this was truly their plan then they are astonishingly successful for they have gathered most of the world under the servitude of faith. And one may say that at least the atheists are fortunate to have escaped. But how many true atheists are there? And of those how many are not enshrouded by intense nihilism? And of the rest how many accept the truth that there is nothing, that we are here solely by chance and should join the bacchanal? So few that I do not wish to be considered atheist anymore. And then if that were not enough these men have effeminacy that is not even fit for a woman. These men speak of love not as the fulfillment of the natural instinct but as an emotional state. They speak of love for the neighbor, the villainous love. To love those who would destroy us, what outstanding folly. They also speak of Platonism, of Plato student of rabble. What did Plato know of life? And Socrates, what did he know? He did not even hesitate to show his hatred for life by simply accepting death. What foolishness. However, their effeminacy reaches much greater depths for they believe. “And why is belief so terrible?” you say. Belief is fallacy that is why. If something must be believed, if one must “have faith” then it is undoubtedly false. But what reason could there be for taking fallacy as belief? In order for the craven effeminates to assuage fear. Now one would think that that was too great a degree of effeminacy for any individual to possess but surprisingly there is more. These aberrations, no, abortions seem to insist that everyone is to be treated equally, that everyone is equally privileged, that everyone, no matter how low, is equal. This, undeniably, is the zenith of fallacy, the most blatant of lies. But look at how the rabble flock when they say that under their god all are equal. See how quickly they follow, and how blindly. So blindly, in fact, that they would burn me at the stake. Or maybe they would crucify me? Anyway, once under this false notion of parity they attempt to preach. They attempt to corrupt others, to defile their essence as well. Worst of all they voice their opinions, which are undoubtedly irrelevant. Of course, they do not know this. They do not know that the corrupt share their views and that the pure will not succumb to them. They do not see the futility, hence they go on. They make their proclamations wherever they can be heard; on street corners, on the mount, in the local rag. Unavoidably, the rabble congregates whenever a blasphemer speaks. As one’s popularity among the refuse increases one then seeks to speak with men of one’s thoughts. How laughable it is that an effeminate would wish to speak with men - as though any man would listen. For what god would deal with the lesser? Even a woman must strip herself of her effeminacy to be heard by them (and yes, if there were such a woman a goddess she would be and counted amongst the gods). Indeed, such an effeminate, a woman, is cast aside. Slowly, that individual’s enmity grows and the person becomes a deceiver king or fear monger, manipulating the rabble. That one begins to speak eloquently and develops new rhetoric. The individual appeals to the rabble and speaks to them through any means, such as the rag, denigrating their greater brethren, denying their godliness and inciting revolt. You may find it hard to believe that this is such a rag and you, my friends, are likely rabble, but alas this is truth. |
