compared2what? wrote:8bit, I appreciate your effort and look forward to continuing to discuss all the minutiae of our dying civilization with you (thereby actually allowing it to die), but you did not understand a word I said.
I was out all day, just returned, re-read it, and can't say that I blame you that much for it, however. I have no idea what you want people to wake up to or why. These are some things I know that I would like others to spend the same amount of energy thinking about as they do thinking about the details of what happened one day seven years ago.
I know that a horrible crime occurred on that day in which a number of people are implicated. I don't know how many, but I'd say the truly culpable would fit in a large conference room -- ie, not a tiny number, but not hundreds and hundreds, either. I observe that all people implicated have benefited in one way or another from the crime. I don't know, but do allege, based on some information and some belief, that this is because ultimately they all play for one team. I don't know or care whether that team is the Washington Meta-Nationals, or the Illuminati Meta-nationals. Because I do know that I'm not on it. I also know that the life of anyone who is not on that team has no value at all in its eyes. I also know the people who hold high public office in my country are liars. I allege that they are completely lawless. And I know that I am complicit in all the savagery, viciousness, and evil that serves their interests. Because they and the system they run are nothing without me, many times multiplied.
What the hell else does anyone need to know? The perps for the seven-year-old crime are at large, and they have not been held accountable. But there are at the moment much bigger crimes in progress, for which I am accountable, but cannot prevent unless all other currently bickering parties stop bickering about then and think about now. The crime currently underway might be halted if everyone who tells pollsters that's what they want admitted they were accountable and were going to demonstrate their regret by ceasing to cooperate. That's only a little more likely than pigs flying, but if it's not totally out of the question, I don't see that there's anything to lose by trying it that we're not going to end up losing if we spend our time fucking bickering about who can tell the best story about how we got to the here and now.
You are implicated in horrible, horrible things, if you are an American citizen, imo. Much worse things than a failure to acknowledge controlled demolition or an insistence on acknowledging it. I cannot understand why anyone would not prefer to work toward getting the little detail of their complicity in ongoing mass murder straightened out than to work toward winning a fucking forensic debate. I am not accusing all American citizens of viciousness, btw. Far from it. I'm an American citizen and I deplore what is done in my name, but, whatever. As long as I'm not on strike against it, I can't see how I'm not implicated. I pay for it, for one thing. I contribute to the upkeep of the illusion that we live in a free society. I'd say I'm culpable. I do say it.
I'm bowing out until I've come up with a better means of getting my point across. So go on back to bickering.
kthxby
ON EDIT: Maybe two large conference rooms.
I thought that was worh repeating.
