The Litany of Hate

I’m such a negative person, and always have been. Was I born that way? I don’t know. I am constantly disgusted by reality, horrified and afraid. I cling desperately to the few things that give me some solace, that make me feel good. I hate most of humanity. Though I might be very fond of particular individuals, humanity in general fills me with contempt and despair.

I hate most of what passes for civilization. I hate the modern world. For one thing there are just too Goddamn many people. I hate the hordes, the crowds in their vast cities, with all their hateful vehicles, their noise and their constant meaningless comings and goings. I hate cars. I hate modern architecture. Every building built after 1955 should be torn down!

I despise modern music. Words cannot express how much it gets on my nerves – the false, pretentious, smug assertiveness of it. I hate business, having to deal with money. Money is one of the most hateful inventions of the human race. I hate the commodity culture, in which everything is bought and sold. No stone is left unturned. I hate the mass media, and how passively people suck up to it. I hate having to get up in the morning and face another day of this insanity. I hate having to eat, ####, maintain the body – I hate my body. The thought of my internal functions, the organs, digestion, the brain, the nervous system, horrify me.

Nature is horrible. It’s not cute and loveable. It’s kill or be killed. It’s very dangerous out there. The natural world is filled with scary, murderous creatures and forces. I hate the whole way that nature functions. Sex is especially hateful and horrifying, the male penetrating the female, his dick goes into her hole, she’s impregnated, another being grows inside her, and then she must go through a painful ordeal as the new being pushes out of her, only to repeat the whole process in time.

Reproduction – what could be more existentially repulsive? How I hate the courting ritual. I was always repelled by my own sex drive, which in my youth never left me alone. I was constantly driven by frustrated desires to do bizarre and unacceptable things with and to women. My soul was in constant conflict about it. I never was able to resolve it. Old age is the only relief. I hate the way the human psyche works, the way we are traumatized and stupidly imprinted in early childhood and have to spend the rest of our lives trying to overcome these infantile mental fixations. And we never ever fully succeed in this endeavour.

I hate organized religions. I hate governments. It’s all a lot of power games played out by ambition-driven people, and foisted on the weak, the poor, and on children. Most humans are bullies. Adults pick on children. Older children pick on younger children. Men bully women. The rich bully the poor. People love to dominate. I hate the way humans worship power – one of the most disgusting of all human traits. I hate the human tendency towards revenge and vindictiveness.

I hate the way humans are constantly trying to trick and deceive one another, to swindle, to cheat, and take unfair advantage of the innocent, the naïve and the ignorant. I hate the vacuous, false, banal conversation that goes on among people. Sometimes I feel suffocated; I want to flee from it. For me, to be human is, for the most part, to hate what I am. When I suddenly realize that I am one of them, I want to scream in horror.

deep-seated, displaced anger

Frontman Josh Homme takes some businessmen for a wild night out on the town:



Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme gets crazy with a group of Asian businessmen in the video for the . . . Like Clockwork track Smooth Sailing. With shots flowing, the sleek-haired, redheaded rocker guides a merry band of misfits as they pretend umbrellas are machine guns and generally act drunk and douchey in a mall. On the lighter side of the video’s plot, they all share some bromance over some karaoke – which, of course, is for the song Smooth Sailing. At its darkest, the clip finds one of the businessmen letting a little too loose, as he begins hallucinating and uses a golf club in a manner unbefitting of the PGA.

The video projects a sort of deep-seated, displaced anger – a quality that’s no stranger to Homme, who derided both the Grammys and Grammy winners Imagine Dragons at a concert in February (2014?). In January, the Grammys had cut short Queens’ end-of-show collaboration with Nine Inch Nails, Dave Grohl and Fleetwood Mac‘s Lindsey Buckingham.

"You know, fuck everything, fuck the man, fuck Imagine Dragons, fuck the Grammys, fuck all this shit," he said at the February concert.

The band flexes their bluesy stylings, while letting Homme sing about how good it’s going to feel to pompously “burn bridges” and “blow my load over the status quo”.

"Smooth Sailing"

It's all in motion, ain't no stopping now
I got nothing to lose and only one way, up
I'm burning bridges, I destroy the mirage
All visions of collisions, fuckin' bon voyage

It's all smooth sailing from here on out

I got: bruises and hickeys, stitches and scars
Got my own theme music plays wherever I are
Fear is the hand that pulls your strings
You're a useless toy, pitiful plaything
I'm in flagrante, in every way, every day

It's all smooth sailing from here on out
I'm gonna do the damage that needs getting done

God only knows one long vacation
If reason is priceless, there's no reason to pay for it
It's so easy to see, yet so hard to find
Make a mountain of a molehill, if the molehill is mine

I hypnotize you, ignore, then defy you
I blow my load over the status quo... oh
Here we go
I'm a little bit nonchalant when I dance
I risk it always, no second chance
That's why it's gotta be

It's all smooth sailing from here on out
I'm gonna do the damage 'til the damage is done

God only knows so mind your behavior
Follow prescriptions of your loaded saviour

Every temple needs gold
Like every hook needs to shine
Headaches at the temple of the closed mind

Closed mind
Closed mind
Closed mind

It's all smooth sailing from here on out

Shut up...

Pow!
