It is incommensurably easier for the victims of crimes against humanity to recover from their trauma then for the perpetrators to recover from their moral fall. And yet it happens over and over again, under ever new ideological guises, under new flags. The same applies to vaccine mandates. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YlCTkupKcn8

Hypothesis. Covid policies intentionally amplified the totalitarian inclinations of the majority under the guise of health, to the point of medical self-harm. The Ukrainian government intentionally amplified the ethno-nationalistic prejudices of the majority under the guise of patriotic duty, to the point of national self-destruction. The EU leadership has amplified the moral conceit of the majority under the guise of ‘standing with Ukraine’ and ‘saving the planet’, to the point of economic self-harm. The Israeli government has amplified the ethno-nationalistic prejudices of the majority under the guise of self-defence, to the point of political suicide. The leading actors are extraordinarily competent, therefore any appearance of failure must be regarded as intentional.

I am yet to meet a person who extols indigenous cultures on social media that would give up the perks of modernity and commit to permanently live the indigenous lifestyle. It follows that they do not really value indigenous cultures (nobody does) but only use them to channel their resentment for rational consciousness.

Is Bitcoin modelled on consciousness?

Nodes in the bitcoin network verify transactions via numerical consensus and record them in a chronologically structured distributed ledger, called a blockchain, without central oversight. In essence, the function of the bitcoin network is to generate the common blockchain from new instances of consensus in a network of nodes that mirror one another.

Conscious individuals in the community collectively verify new subjective claims of fact via logical consensus and retain the validated claims in a chronologically structured record of reality, called History, without central oversight. In essence, the function of the community is to generate reality from instances of logical consensus in a network of nodes of reflexive consciousness.

The alleged savings are of course a lie; natural gas is the cheapest energy source in Australia. But Victorians deserve to be treated like this, for now. Same with the covert federal ban coming on petrol/diesel utes/4wd’s, by making the emissions standard too stringent for anything except hybrid and full electric vehicles in that class. Good luck with those massive batteries; they are “safe and effective” TM, but not light.

If Aboriginal culture is so great for the environment then why can’t we all help to save the planet by hunting endangered species?

The unwritten rule of propaganda: Thou shall not publicly compare the actions of your government to any officially recognised crime against humanity, nor shall you compare the victims of your government to Jesus or to any other Good archetype. Thou shall not compare the ruling power unfavourably!

A person who refuses to engage in the business of killing humans need not justify himself; it is those who claim that one has the moral duty to engage in the business of killing humans that ought to justify themselves. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/dec/29/tal-mitnick-israel-soldier-military-service-society

A government that is willing to kill its own citizens, people of the same religion, ethnicity or culture for the sake of pharmaceutical profits, certainly does not give a damn about your religion, ethnicity or culture. Your cultural or racial identity is the leash they have you on. The stronger your sense of group-identity the shorter the leash. A state may designate another nation as your enemy, teach you how to fear them, despise them, feed you lies about them to sustain this polarisation, and their own government will feed them lies about you. You will not be allowed to make peace. Racial and cultural hatred is an international business model, a franchise owned by your government, and your group-identity is their intellectual property, crafted by symbolic conditioning and psychological manipulation. They own your ethno-religious-national identity, they always have. You were never free.

People celebrate the End of a horrible year, hoping that the next year will be better, but it will be worse. Every new year is now the worst year of your life, and will be for the foreseeable future;)

Patriarchy is a strawman used to distract from the animal essence of political power: where psychological manipulation fails, the physically strong always dominate the weak through violence, and there is no mystery about it, just a blind force of nature. Feminism is how the ruling power optimises its expenditure of animal energy.

How to become more Human:

- accept that you do not belong anywhere,
- assume that there are no likeminded people,
(you just have not realised your disagreements yet),
- acknowledge that you have no tribe,
- accept that you are probably wrong about most things,
- but you need others to make sense of it all.

That is a good place to start.

BREAKING NEWS: Sydney’s homeless community secured the best sites for watching the NYE fireworks by lining up over 12 months ago.

Those who mandated “proportionate” killing of their own citizens for the sake of public health are now conducting a “proportionate” genocide for the sake of national security. Anyone who accepted the utilitarian argument in the context of public health will find it difficult to defeat its application to national security, and it likely won’t end there.

List of activities that became "proportionate" in 2023:

Proportionate Murder
Proportionate Targeting of Civilians
Proportionate Collective Punishment
Proportionate Ethnic Cleansing
Proportionate Genocide
Proportionate Depopulation
Proportionate Torture
Proportionate Nuclear Holocaust

The argument from “proportionality” is of course just a story for the mass audience; the killing is not done indiscriminately, but against designated target-demographics whose collective moral status is systemically judged as deficient. While demographic generalisations by the rulers and the social/economic/ideological coercion occurring at the population level inevitably capture many outsiders and social dissenters in the meat-grinder of systemic adjustments, a degree of choice is allowed, and is apparently integral to the process of systemic determinations of moral status. In short, there is a narrow path through the meat-grinder, with a lot of sense and bit of luck, or with a little sense and a lot of luck.

So many layers of the narrative onion are on display in this article and comments. https://www.timesofisrael.com/vaccines-for-childrens-diseases-begin-flowing-into-gaza-as-infection-rates-soar/

It is incommensurably more satisfying to be discriminated against and yet not submit, than to have privileges conditional on submission.

Here is a question for which i do not have a good answer: when murderers kill murderers, or when fools destroy themselves instead of others, is there a net gain for human consciousness? Is more death, in any possible calculus, beneficial to consciousness?

Hypothesis: modern armed conflicts are instigated with the primary purpose of allowing the most belligerent and authoritarian people to cull one another, effectively removing themselves from the gene pool.
