The following was writted in 1995 as a means of keeping "Neither the Government Nor the Population - 6th Draft" from being misused.
6. Equality v. Inequality:
Equality and inequality are hardly opposite extremes. Both states are forced by authority, and are only relative to one another. Either can be based upon reality or an irrational basis. Those perceived states may be disregarded or ignored, whereas those existent in truth must be overcome. Decrees are only words. Circumstances may provide challenges, thereby strengthening the deficiencies. Forced equality often finds theoretical, even popular appeal, but these situations may not actually respect truth. Communist states were all impeded by their ideologies concerning equality. Democracies have been ruined from the beginning. Talk means nothing. In capitalist societies, the wealthy have a stronger voice and carry greater weight than the lower classes. Sometimes associations will allow the semblance, which will be discarded once its uses have waned. Equality and inequality both offer a challenge -- to stand apart from the pack. The imposed states stifle individual spirit. A recent example is the curious and nauseating realm called political correctness. Language is subverted by allowing semantics to force equality, thereby making all the same. Those disagreeing are labeled, and categorized deficient i.e. inequal.[42] Propaganda is shoved down the gullet, and discourse discouraged. This would appear a rather pathetic attempt at fascism. The bleak Orwellian picture has been painted over, supplanted with decadent notions, and now sparkles with freedom and tolerance. However, the lowest common denominator does not change simply through multiplying by a factor of 1. This system fails to give anyone any credence, which is not too surprising considering academic mediocrity. The world will indeed be improved by the death of the last idiotic ideals originally espoused during the 1960s. Different perspectives are often critical, and even fun. These kinds would trade idealistic ignorance for knowledge, and deserve nothing but contempt. The alternative is coping with different perspectives, and hopefully learning something in the process. Dogma is the realm reserved for dullards. The means differ according to each individual, and may be regarded unique. Common references are necessary for communication, but not always for thought. Hence, the political correct product speaks well, but thinks nothing. Even identical twins have separate personalities. Robots belong on assembly lines, not the class room. Mistakes are opportunities for learning, not mere chastisement. Victories contain flaws. Criticism need not be directed or taken personally. Emotional response may be conditioned and therefore suspect. The sublime would know their own self, and determine the source. Learning and growth is antithetical to stagnation and ignorance. Hesitation may give mixed results, but honest mistakes sometimes open far more doors. The secret is knowing action from inaction. The learned and innate each have merit. The instinctual does exist, otherwise how could one breath?[43] Even a veal can learn. Learning is the prime instinct of the human animal. Fear and terror may blunt the drive. Those extinguished are worse than dead. Accepted nonsense defines losers. Dread may be replaced with wonder. Even the immediate may not be entirely known, let alone the greater world. Easy answers simply cheapen the experience. Awareness is lost. Sometimes a specific weakness may offer better chances for success than an obvious strength. British imperialism was ended in India by such Strategies. Arrogance is no substitute for placed confidences. The strongest have the least to prove. Even weakness may be sublime. Our own evil is necessary. The possibilities are only self-limited. Homogeneity is stagnant and boring, whereas cultural diverse crap piles lessen the possibility of something greater. Eliminating supposed extremes can be stimulating. Pride is sometimes deserved. The herd morality must be suborted, or accept the fate of cattle. Uniqueness is not boring. Protection is a necessity. Firearms can be a useful tool, but the butt-end of a rifle may be as effective and potentially less tragic. The dead do not rise. Murder is a choice. Society did not pull the trigger. Misfortune provide opportunity. Natural laws can be utilized to widely different ends, but never subverted. The anti-natural is a decadent fraud. The stars burn for a reason. Thermonuclear weapons bring a little piece of the sun down on Earth. Some problems may not be ignored or glossed over by niceties. True equality is standing firm, not hiding behind paper. The greater rarely has the best interests of the individual. Fear incapacitates and enables tyranny better than any other element. Those drives may be harnessed. Illusions and lip service do not change realities concerning oppression and suppression. The blow is only softened. The inevitable is just dragged out. Death is the same in the end. Division is facilitated and encouraged. The tragedy of the marketplace has enabled oppression like no other. One actually pays to be kept down. Two dimensional imagery should not be according the same import as experience. Life is being superceeded by entertainment. The plug needs pulling. Even the alternatives offer nothing different. The images can prove useful by providing clues regarding weakness, but film is not the same as life. Money is invested in expectation of greater returns than numerical financial profit. The exploiters can be exploited. Propaganda represents art and science. False unity may be smashed like a ripe nut. The meat gained can be used for opposition. These methods can prove instructive. Investment is roughly proportional to importance. All news is art. The subtle indicate mythical reverence. This may be exploited for maximum advantage. Insight negates being tooled. Propaganda (and advertising) techniques have been developed based upon sound science, and implemented through artistic expression. Mild colorations may induce wildly different reactions. Upward views convey the superiority of the image; downward views portray a position of advantage. Profiles and perspectives can be manipulated for any number of purposes. O J Simpson certainly appeared more sinister on the cover of Time than Newsweek, even though it was the same picture. Hence, guilt opposed to confusion. The Gulf War offered a gross case study. Very few mainstream press sources have ever confronted the issue. The trivial has been given top priority. Meanwhile, we are free to buy all the worthless junk we don't need. Lame entertainment offers no choices. Pop-cultural rebellion is a demographic. Rock and Roll is big business. Televised religion is even worse. The drama is no longer even interesting. Suckers have made their choice. Real freedom includes failure. Con-artists teach valuable lessons. Jaded responses may be as ignorant as blind acceptance. The sublime have the courage to face the truth and then fly into its face. The consequences can always be mitigated. Most instead sweep failures under the rug. Reference points can always be changed. The low road may be less glamorous, but often provides the greatest reward. The price is not always worth paying. The sheltered are simply lost without going anywhere. Shit floats. Accomplishment is worth realizing. Less insults everyone. Self-reliance is difficult. The messenger is not the message. The context must always be accounted. Propaganda guides where no one wants to go, only gladly. Its development was no accident. The meanings within meanings are sometimes crucial. Quotes may be distorted to the point of actually saying the opposite. Neither Nietzsche nor Beethoven were Nazis. Their misusage does not discount their work, rather illuminated the perpetrators.[44] Resistance should not mean wholesale rejection. Small satisfactions may have deeper meaning than all society or economics hitherto. Hatreds should belong to oneself. Ignore imposed fears, and concentrate on those real. Conclusions should be pondered, rather than rejected because one feels uncomfortable. Possibilities are guesses; the future is unknown, but can be made. All scenarios warrant consideration. All dinosaurs are extinct for a reason. Avoid their death throws. The drawn out death is worse then the quick clean end, but sometimes only barely. Custer will be slain once again by those awake.
The end is unknown.
[42] Those speaking languages with masculine and feminine tenses, find this notion bizarre. Imagine french being emasculated to satisfy stupid people...
[43] Try smothering yourself if you doubt it.
[44] In fact, Nietzsche lamented ever writing his Zarathustra in German, lest it be used for aspirations of the Reich.
