The State is Doomed! 1-3

-One Way or Another

“Nothing is true, everything is permitted.”

Draft 1.0

1. The state is failing. Only the rate of deceleration may be influenced. The fall may be a crash or not. In and of itself, it might appear that a slow decay is preferable; that assumption would be an error. Metaphor is not reality.

2. Agitation propaganda has mostly proven most reliable for short term effect. The subject population will eventually become exhausted. Pacification propaganda operates over a long period of time for facilitation. Advocated schemes must be either sold or made to appear normal. Symbols are powerful means to the ends of acceptance. The absurd is continually redefined unto normalcy. Regardless the motivation, all propaganda is reduction.

3. What of the Shadow? The Shadow can never be eliminated; only nurtured. The Shadow can consume; it usually fades by contact. Isolation is necessary for mass propaganda. Media manipulation concerns attitude over action. In fact, motion is undesirable in the population. Individual and small group efforts are more effective. Manipulation is best immediate. A church represents an excellent venue for group reinforcement. The weak mistake faith for obedience. Their Shadows becomes magnified. The result is atrocities.
