15. Who could possibly want to go into big-time politics these days? Only the shallow, pompous and/or psychopathic could possibly want the job. Only the rich and their whores could possibly possess the means. Only the stupid would bother.
16. Mass society is a decadent excuse for culture. Its shallowness only breeds apathy. Tradition is not custom. Boredom sometimes demands an explosive outlet. Idleness ensures it. Lacking prospects of economic future, the population turns on itself. Rather than eliminating the cause, the disaffected slowly commit collective suicide. The other day, there was a gang shooting death in front of my house. A week later, all that's left is a few decaying flowers and a few depressed friends holding a sad nighttime vigil. It didn't even make the papers. The slowing economy increases the rate of such mindless violence. Tell me the state maintains order; you watch too much television. Eventually, the world will come knocking on your front door and you will not like it. I will laugh at your misfortune even as I exploit it. You did nothing to stop it. You cannot. Your freedom is a lie.
17. Some people are incapable of anything verging on consciousness. They possess little self-awareness and no empathy. They believe myths through endless repetition. Their socialization is total. Individually, most sleepers are mostly harmless and inconsequential. In a mass society, these types have the potential to collectively do great harm. Their own delusions will steer them well away from their own best interests. They belong. Their favorite lies shelter. Their beliefs make them easy prey for the opportunistic. They have no other place.
