{∅, {∅}, {∅, {∅}}} : Rage Against the Meat Grinder

Senor Raul,

I have to say your relentless pessimism and truth-telling reminds me of Cioran. If I am a bread, I am a black bread, which is to be found in Russia. And bitter.Gorky the writer, called himself thus because he wanted to write only the kind of things which would taste bitter.Microwaves ovens and air conditioners are what the average Joe is looking for not books, certainly not the kind of books, which would not further his career.

Today, in the humanities departments, by that I mean, philosophy and literature, there is no place for honest thinkers like yourself. They think they have the truth by the tail and anyone who says otherwise is blasphemous. Mathematics is at least honest. It’s a little difficult to fudge it up. It just mention this in passing that ,at present, there are more men than women in all the departments of the University, with the only exception of Mathematics.

The God of Mathematics must be a bigot,keeping the poor, talented women out, who just want to make this world a better place…poor little dolls not being allowed the rights which belong to them by the virtue of what they have between their legs.

What I see in the people around me, in my relatives and in myself is frenzy. Frenzy and restlessness. Human race is not meant to have any kind of salvation. If it were offered to us on a silver platter, we will spit on it and shoot the being who dared to offer it to us.
Mayhem and chaos is what is to our liking. Those is speak of bliss and peace might as well be speaking Greek.No, that is not our tongue. We listen to the prophet who talks to fire and brimstone and only then are we in our element.

Thunberg says peace,peace. But we like, I,to listen to the former KGB agent. He knows how to torture and to bear torture,he speaks to the real me,that is to say, the blood hound in my soul, while the lass, well,she,frankly makes no sense to me.To us. Maybe to her dolls.Not to men made of flesh and blood.

What I like best the constant bickering between “my” country and “our” neighbor. A war would end everything way to be soon. The mayhem needs to be savoured.I love the local newspapers, they show me my real face, they never right five soldiers dead in the exchange of far. No that is far too dry for their taste and mine. They write five solider “martyred” .You see? Now, they are talking.The word takes me straight back to the ancient room and the medieval  Mughal era. In the latter period, so I am told, many Hindus, “my people” were boiled alive in oil ,should be reject the offer of embracing the Religion of Peace.”Imagine that, being boiled alive in hot oil. Does not matter who is getting boiled and who does the boiling. The skin breaking up and leaving the bare muscles and bones to have a rendezvous directly with the extract of animals and plants that died many millions of years ago.And that is the kind of scene and atmosphere we are meant for.

Have you heard of the Goa Inquisition? Might look it up one Sunday afternoon should boredom assail you.Thousand of sacred threads cut, along with the holy hair knots,hundreds to temples razed to the ground. Now, that is something to our, heck, why hide behind the plural determiner,my taste.Don’t get me wrong I am no  revanchist, I am as deracinated as they come.

Which reminds me to ask you,when you went to school/school were there any mandatory bible classes? As for me, the State and the family thankfully, did not bother to teach me about any religion.Yes, I heard a few stories about Hinduism here and there, no formal lessons.And so, I , my only religion is Suffering(with a capital S) 

Take care.

Ibra,

It is sad to read about what is happening to your people in Syria. I also heard that the Turkish military are embarking on a campaign against the Kurds. Although, you are living in another country, I am sure you will your best to help your family.

Stay safe.

Mr.Ibra,

I understand that the situation in Syria is terrible. I am sorry about your family.Please do write to us when you feel like that.I have never personally been a in war-like situation but in the northern part of the country called Kashmir,things are a little jittery, I am told.
I don't understand the whole idea of nation-states.There is a deep need for war ,for fighting in the human heart.

Situations like these makes one realize how important it is to not to procreate.

Take care,Mr.Ibra, I hope your family members are safe. Please do write to us,when you feel like it.
Regards

Holden,

Thank you for your comments. As I say I am only a scribbler.

Indeed the situation Ibra is facing now is horrible. I hope his family is safe. I am sure Ibra will do his best for them.

And this is the world we live in. I think that since I was thirteen I have heard of endless wars in that part of the world. Israel, Palestine,Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, all the people there suffering and trying to survive. I read that the new Saudi ruler, Prince Mohammed Bin Salman is only 34 years old and already known for his cruelty.

I have heard a few things about Kashmir, a never ending conflict there. I think that those in power do not want to end the conflict. Wherever we were born, directly or indirectly we are at war. Nobody is safe.

Years ago I read a little about a report called Iron Mountain prepared by some of the best minds in the U.S. at the request of President John F. Kennedy. It was published in 1967. Some said that this document is a hoax.

The question was how society would function if there were a permanent peace without threat of war. The document, supposedly stated, that war always plays a key role in human societies. If war was to disappear there would be a social gap impossible to fill. In the event of permanent peace, the writers of this document proposed to keep parts of the population under technocratic controls, a eugenics program to eliminate the so-called unfit and create space exploration programs. Maybe this Iron Mountain Report is just a joke but it makes sense that there are wars that are meant to continue for decades. War is good for business. Peace is bad for business. Social control is necessary.

Here in a slow but steady we are being made to use digital money. This month all the buses will have bus cards. We will not use money to pay the bus tickets. This is the beginning of the end of anonymity, the end of the little privacy we have. Besides, the buses will be equipped with cameras.

As you say there is nowhere to hide. I say it also because in almost every corner I see cameras and yet the crime rate is increasing. If you have no cédula (Paraguayan ID) you can have problems and be taken to the comisaría (police station) to check if you have a police record.

I agree with you. To die without ever contributing anything to the sustenance is this wretched world is a worthy goal.

Yes, we, humans, are born corrupt by birth. The Gnostics, as I remember, believed that the responsibility of man, appeared as a statute imposed on him. Man has absolutely nothing to do with the curse imposed on him: the one who is truly responsible is the sadistic and perverse demiurge who dared to dream up such a cruel world in all its minute detail. The Gnostics said that we were talking foetuses, rectified worms that cannot survive without destroying the life around him.

Stay safe.

Holden,

Thank you for your words. I think that you should put all these posts in a book format. It makes a material worthy of reading several times.It is good to share our rants. They are only for ourselves.

I read once a definition of both isms. Capitalism is viewed as an economic system in which a country´s trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit, rather than by the state. It is also as an example of asocial individualism. Usury and greed, sins in early Christianity, are the basis of capitalism. It also denies the holiness of poverty.  Napoleon said that poverty makes the best soldier.

Socialism as a political and economic theory of social organization advocates that the economy - the means of production, distribution, and exchange- should be owned or controlled by the community as a whole. This therefore means the control of the economy by the state.   
They are just methods to handle the human cattle in the best efficient way. Nothing new because you already know this.

Once somebody told me in his peculiar view that in capitalism they fucckk you to the bones with your underwear on and in socialism they ffucck you to the bones with no underwear. Whatever the system your hole will be broken.

Socialism reminds me of what I wrote to Hentrich once. It refers to a Dr.Wolfgang Huber and his wife who started the Socialist Patients´ Collective in West Germany. In the insane asylum Dr. Huber trained psychiatric patients to be terrorists and fight the society that made them sick. The slogans were Turn Illness into a Weapon, Therapy through Violence, Bomb for Mental Health, and Kill for Inner Peace. They were opposed to doctors and considered them to be poisoners of the human species.

I know very little about Plato. I read that he said that disobedient children should be corrected with threats and blows. He supposedly said that he condemned laughter and said the gods should not be represented laughing. He said that it is impossible to engage in commerce and be virtuous at the same time.

Dr.Holden, again your diagnosis of the human behavior is lethal.  Again let me mention the Gnostics, the little I know, is that we are thinking hominids who are completely alienated creatures, right down to our very encephalic cells, and condemned to lifelong enslavement. Only a full awareness of our inert and slumbering condition could save us. In my case I am only aware that we were dumped into this planet.


Indeed we are vile and vulgar. I include myself here. There are times I want to do vile things to my fellow human beings. The thing is that since I am not a policeman or a soldier or a politician the state will not allow me to commit crimes without impunity.
I think that wars and diseases such as AIDS, Ebola, SARS and earthquakes and tsunamis have already surpassed the Black Death. In times of Christ the population in the world was 200 million. In the 20th century alone 100 million, women, men and children died. Earth is a magnificent killing field.

I read that Wadi-us-Salaam, Valley of Peace, is a cemetery in Iraq, specifically in the Shia holy city of Najaf. It is the largest and oldest cemetery in the world and houses millions of bodies. Well, Earth houses 8 billion living dead. Every single second strains of humans are added to this cemetery. In each of our cells, veins, and tissues and genitals we carry the Black Death.
It is difficult to avoid the proletarians of love because we are slaves to the flesh and to lust and orgasms. Sex is also good for business. Lots of money in **** films, cams, sex shops, channels,magazines, etc. We are sex junkies, addicted to addictions.

Stay safe.

pardon me ... but, I couldn't help but notice that, if you play the following clip a couple of times while Gorticide's [Corporate Avenger] tune plays once, they go well together; that is,   "Bible is BS" while platying "Listen you fuuckers, you screwheads" twice has some accidental synchronicities your brain might get a chuckle from.
