Get Out of Jail Free Card

By: Jonathan Seidel

Meaningless law and elite immunity (Agamben, 50-51)

The power of the law is that it is beholden onto all but what if there are those who refuse to follow it? Well they go to prison. But what if they do not? What if they are able to resist prison? This is the reality of elites. Imprisonment is rare but if confirmed is a short sentence at most. 

Law means nothing if those who legislate do not uphold the law. How many elected officials legislated draconian covid laws and then didn’t follow them. Fined and imprisoned people for not following the rules but for them it was a public apology. A lapse of judgement excused. No further ramifications. A dubious attempt for accountability. This is only the most recent abuse of the law. Politicians rarely follow the rules nor ever follow the rules they endorse. It is purely an area of the people. Yet this places the law in hot water theoretically. The law still matters because there is enforcement. The enforcement comes from people officers. People entrusted to enforce the law. tIf police officers look the other way for politicians then politicians can never be tried. If the judicial system never convicts them they can never be held accountable. There is a systemic problem in the states but it is one of the politically elected aristocracy. With a few connections here and there, one can avoid any jail time. Things can be covered up and no legal consequences will ever stick.

It is for this reason the law remains in practice. Like its medieval counterpart, certain laws applied to different groups. Yet those laws were on the books. Everybody knew the law for each. Everybody knew the law was asymmetric and unequal. Yet today it is supposed to be symmetrical and equal. There is no law that frees an elected official from a crime and yet it happens far too often. While liberals scream for Trump, they ought to also scream for Biden, Obama, Pelosi and others. People who subverted the law for their own gain. There are documented examples and not even a case has been brought. Hearings of some sort have been managed quite inefficiently and no one ever received a slap on the wrist. Supreme Court justices have documented biases, bribes and paid vacations and yet nothing has been said of removing them. The people have accepted it. They know the system is corrupt but yet still fight their opponents rather than fighting the true enemy. This is not democracy but an elusive liar. A deceptive demon hiding the truth in plain sight. It can’t be that obvious, no it actually can. It actually can be that awful. Open your eyes stop being in denial and do something about it.   

The law matters insofar as it is enforced by authorities. If authorities chosen to defend the people only defend those in power there is a greater problem in the democratic system. A NBC CEO decried guns but this CEO has an armed group protecting him. He can hire protection but the citizenry can’t protect themselves. Rules for thee not for me is a slogan but only is relevant when the judicial system follows the slogan. When the judicial system insists it can only prosecute the people. When it differentiates between classes and colour. Such a system is demoralising. The answer to this is not revolution but accountability. The answer is not for a new type of people to enter the governmental status. Crimes have been committed by all types from women to blacks to gays. It is not a matter of colour that determines political grace but character. MLK Jr.’s statement rings true. Power corrupts but unfettered power always corrupts. Checks and balances from other elected officials makes the system ever more problematic. Just as a jury of peers decides the defendant’s fate so too the jury of peers ought to decide the incrimination of elected officials. Journalists of the people for the people expose lies and the people take the elected to task. 

The current state of affairs defends the elites. Whoever can gain the most protection. It is a bubble of elitist beliefs. The rule of law is something to be played with. Most legislations have little to do with the actual merit and impose ridiculous personal desires. It is a spectacle. The bill says for the commoner’s aspiration but within the text it is a bunch of baloney. Their goal is to stay in power. They take so much vacation and do very little. It is a facade attempting to parlay as an actual job. They have immense power and wield it like a tyrant. Their only hope is to help enough that when election time rolls around the people revote them in. It is a game of power and malicious authority. If they are to be entrusted with the security of the country they should be held responsible for all their actions but they are not. They rarely are exposed and when they are it is rushed under the rug. Some of this is on the people who ignore the ramifications in the intense culture war. Bad politicians are bad no matter which side. Yet until politicians are scrutinised collectively nothing will change. The people will continue to live in a two-tiered system. 

Law is meaningless if only one side follows it. A basketball game where one side continues travelling is not basketball. Yet if the referee only penalises one side then the rules do matter only to that team. The rules do matter to the referee but to only a single side. In Remember the Titans, the Titans are continuously penalised while their opponents are not. The referee’s bias expels one side while allowing the other to continue doing so. The other team can exploit the referee’s bias. Until the assistant coach blackmails the referee, there is not much they can do. They can quit the game but then they lose. In order to win a rigged game, the referee needs to be threatened. He needs to remove his bias. Yet such a threat doesn’t work with police officers. The judicial system doesn’t have the incentive lest they are exposed and imprisoned. If the people could leverage the system then more accountability would take place. For now it is an uneven game of red light green light. The elites break the rules but they are given more chances and their breech ignored. The subjective consequence gives the people no leeway.

The law is important but if all follow it. The power of the ancient prophet was to challenge the leadership. To ensure the monarchy was in line. The prophet was the pure divine agent sent to expel the sinful king. A curse would be brought if he didn’t change his ways. The story of Naboth best illustrates the leverage. King Ahab illegally took Naboth’s vineyard. Doing so, his life was fated to be killed thereafter. He was cursed for abusing his authority to hurt the people. Pharaoh was also tortured for harming the Israelites. The bible specifically points to his genocidal actions and backbreaking efforts. More than just slavery was the attitude and execution of it. Ahab was an idolator but he is reproached most for this. His devilish action to another Jew. The law is necessary but abusing for one’s own rights is a horrid event. Elijah holds Ahab accountable and his demise soon comes with his dynasty wiped out. There are no prophets today. Most so-called prophets are false ones. They protect the elitist system. When push came to shove during corona they defended the draconian efforts. They placed the illegal needs of the elite ignoring their wrongful efforts before the people they swore to protect. 

The people are entrenched in a system with no assistance. No matter who they elect will be irresponsible. There is little that can be done. It may be why people saw much in Trump. He was the anti-establishment. He went abasing conventional ways and went after the establishment. The entire Russiagate scandal was an effort of the establishment to deflect their own issues that Trump was ready to expose. The people believed the media who continued to propagate the fabrication. Trump has his own problems but the elite circle do not like him. He is not part of the establishment. He is not a member of the elite anymore. Though he is afforded some niceties nonetheless. It is not about money but status. The Romanian government can arrest Andrew Tate despite his hundreds of millions. The US government can try to imprison Assange for leaking their atrocities. Yet the US is not prosecuting anyone for their role nor is the Pentagon being investigated for its failure to complete an audit. It really depends on where you stand in the circle. How much protection is afforded. This isn’t a cabal but an interconnected atmosphere that protects its own. A sense of authority that brews looking the other way. Authority that breeds irresponsibility. 

The law is effectively meaningless in the sense that it does not apply to everyone. Democracy is a farce. Only some are actually beholden to the law. Some more than others. The judicial system continues to operate but in a biased manner. Only certain groups are prosecuted while others remain free. There is a system for aristocrats and a system for commoners. For the establishment and for the people. The law is meaningless when unequal but is still practical. Without authenticity but with veracity. As long as there is law enforcement and law enforcement does its job. As long as the judicial system incriminates and judges the law even if only directed to one side of the aisle. 

Some Things Never Change

 

By: Jonathan Seidel

Hegel’s dystopia and liberalism’s terror 

Plato’s critique is nothing short of historical. The Hegelian motif is contextual. The medieval march to modernity meets its match. Malevolence is encased in crewed nuance. Human growth is an ethical performance. Through organisational confrontation changes are bound to follow. Yet this progress is declining. Proud tribalist groups seek the same ideological doctrine of their ancestors. The game is the same even if the pieces are different. Ethics is a synonym for my way or else. The veil of technological immersion does not empower the moral side. If anything it only fuels the immoral modality. This progress does not have setbacks it has yet to evolve.

The problem is not the institutional system but the personal interaction. The stoic relation to one another. The democratic ailment rife with racist emotions only capitalises on the inherent dehumanisation. The universalist paradigm imposes its will demoralising those who do not fit the bill. Progressives push for institutional changes but altering mechanisms does not shift the personal abdications. A democracy that preaches freedom and produces wage slavery is hypocritical. A democracy still built on the equality of man suppresses the diversity of man. The argumentation of institutional freedom inherently presupposes a devious lacking. Promising a network that needlessly fails its goals. Shifting mechanistic burdens redirects the toxic liquid. The toxicity remains strong even if walled off. Without bastardising the liquid to a gas, the liquid un-evaporated lingers on. A blood stain under the rug.

The promise of a better tomorrow by shifting the goalposts is a haunted lie. Each generation asserting its dominance. This will usher in the utopia. Whether it be revolutionary systems or rebellious protests. Changes that may in fact demand social equity do not salvage the distorted portrait. It was the system that needed alteration. If the model is refuelled in a manner that maintains the organismic construction with different variables moved. The game of chess continues with elevated pieces. The queen no longer is restricted to moving one move diagonally but has unrestricted freedom. Able to move across the board with ease. Yet this move advancement is still burdened to protect the king. Pawns are still lowly pawns. Changing an elephant piece to a bishop centres on the ideological novelty but the space is sanctified for a special type. The pawn never changes always at the bottom of the totem poll. At least the religious placed him above the animals on the value hierarchy. 

Similarly, in the real world, peasants remained peasants. Their name may have changed but they have yet to usurp the incriminating futility of simple-minded foot soldiers. They fight for their lives for a cause that they lie dormant of proper grace. Peasants were the middle class before the middle class. Even if they are given more accessibility. Improving their lives at the cause of submission. Provided the bare minimum to discredit the counterbalance of fate. According dubious solutions to maintain the disastrous hierarchical asymmetry. Trickling down the innovative salvation. Permitting bits to be allocated to the disenfranchised. The lower levels are enslaved to the order that represses their growth. Rebellious causes protest the startling divide yet the system rejects their claim. The marvel surplus received in shredded heaps of secondhand crumbs. Selfish notoriety steals the majority of the equitable pie and leaves the crust to the peasantry. The share is proportionally divisible. The medieval age is far gone, fair wages are supplied. 

Air-conditioned homes and supermarkets ease the life burden. The peasants are rewarded with living. If sufficient work is applied then these assets can be purchased. A reward for hard work. Dangling a treat in front of the starving dog. Making the throwing motion but throwing air. The dog runs and is unable to find anything. Confused he continues his search but after failing for hours gives up in sad distress. He makes his way back to his owner who is cunningly smirking. The dog bellows in a depressed tone to which the owner’s mouth widens into a crackle. Bending over and presenting half a treat. Saved from hunger but still hungry. Treats used to be stale and now they are chewy. Delicious but still unavailable to the desired. Only if hoops are jumped through in a spectacle for elite humour can the the starving peasant satiate himself. There are no freebees, everything has a price. Even the generous owner who leaves the chewy treats out has left them out for days. Pouring the treats in a bowl was his job. The dog was fed just not with edible nor healthy food. 

Peasants are all equal in fated depravity. Yet they fight amongst once another. Distressed with their situation fury escapes their condition. Anger overtakes their clear-minded inclinations. The adversary is blurred. Hallucinating in a despondent state of crisis. Neighbours become the greatest enemy. Blue-eyed peasants check their affinities. Peasants but part of the blue-eyed club. Identical to his neighbours except for this biological marker. A fan club that met on Sundays for meetings. Blue-eyed members lived harmoniously yet the ongoing struggle was tumultuous seeking where to redirect anger. A blue-eyed government reigned so how could peasants be suffering. Neighbours must be the cause. The failure of the peasantry is the peasantry not the sovereign, he is trying his best but brown-eyed peasants are disorienting that trickled excellence. Stealing it for themselves. Those selfish bastards were former co-workers turned savages. Friends turned enemies. Staring down that neighbour and writing them off. Their eye colour is disfiguring. Their eyes turn red at night and hunt down blue-eyed babies. Ocular powers hypnotise the good blue-eyed folk forced to struggle in the lower class.

A reckoning is assumed in the revolutionary cause. Revolutions will drastically bring humanity closer to perfection. Moral ideas brand the campaign slogans. Demonstrations raise sympathetic slogans in search of change. These public displays are punished by the leader. The leader stubborn and paranoid refuses to concede. If he will leave willingly, he must be compelled. Violence in the name of salvation is the accepted trajectory. Killing conservative countrymen optimistic in pressuring the sovereign. Naive heretics with false dreams. Corrupt leadership cannot be altered. The tainted sovereign must be cleansed. A new ripe leader from a different tribe must revamp the proper annuls of leadership. The liberal zealots promise big for their cause. When the impure leader is ousted and the revolutionary leader takes his place, he fails completely to facilitate his dream. Conservatives are branded traitors. Their insight sought as a burden and decried for their disservice. The new leader is a reincarnation of the old leader funnelling his ideology into a scammed silence. The phone line disconnected left to cope with their burdensome pieces. Foot-soldiers remain peasants. 

No system is perfect. There is always room for growth. Self-growth voices unredeemed to the repressed peasant. A few tweaks here and there will perfect the imperfect. Ridding the legal deficiencies will habituate an ethical relation. It is the legal routine that disrupts the hope for ceremonial joy. Unity is blocked by systemic fraud. An intentional underlying discolouring agenda. Deep-seated resentment fades without legal separation. Ethics is solved by legal dictation. Fixing the broken valve allows the flow to persist. Wealth and positive attitudes are the solution. If train lines are diverted to a single train. All on the same train to the shared destiny. Compelling interaction will shed the stereotypical jargon for realistic deductions. Shouldn’t the decision to divert to one train be questioned? A well-intentioned goal but strategically positive? Fear and anger encompassing the groups must be solved by the restrictive rules to ensure the mission succeeds. Instead of advocating personal adventures to debunk those stereotypes, coercing societal clashes for the sake of a potentially future understanding after many have passed in the crossfire. Necessary deaths for the mission. 

Blind to the diverter’s intentions. A puppeteering conquest meshed into horizontal skirmishes. Focusing on the irrational distaste for fellow humans on the basis of psychological dissonance. A neurosis stemming from heresy-hunting warfare. Heretics are locals. Locals who do not agree with the progressive tone. Brown-eyed peasants have received unduly advantages. Bishops can charge their desire but a pawn must know his place. He must not cheat and think he be a bishop. Fighting hard through the thicket to reach the other side to be elevated. The pawn has done his work. His operator has placed him efficiently. He was fortunate and lucky. Able to reach the beaches of Normandy. His luck is polemically tied. The operator is never questioned. His decisions are accepted but the pawn still receives the blowback instead of praise. Proud that one of their own made it through. Fate is unfair but little is afforded to assist the unlucky. The operator sacrificed them. Some pawns snuck through but the pawns were to trap the enemy for the bishop to steal all the glory. The bishop has more prestige and thus he deserves to reap in the rewards of the kill that the pawn set up. 

Picking on fellow peasants for their success stories does little to raise unity. An echo chamber of monistic restlessness. Those who have succeeded are no longer tolerated in their circles. The face to face anguish brews contempt. The real villain is not some machine but neighbour peasant. His success must be from some cheat. He doesn’t deserve it. As a successful peasant he is isolated from his birth and newfound life. He is no elite but he is no peasant. An elite in body but a peasant in soul. The strife of isolation is tremendously overwhelming. Alienation is no fun escapade and his former friends see him as a stranger. His success which they all seek is the stain. Their deplorable luck is his problem to bear. Despite their behaviour towards him, an underground revolution brews to align with him. To re-establish control. Prophetic voices and hymns echo in the dim light. Caught up in a newly lavish light. He is happy but so far from the peasant mindset he drops off funds to help his brethren. They shoo him away in disgust. He leaves angrily misunderstanding their stress and his donating insolence.

Process is not evolutionarily but dynamic. Engulfed in the ideological sway turns ladders into slides. All roll for the slides. If the system is inverted then all will be solved. The climb is a monstrous trek with rarely any victors. To ensure the system aids everyone the system must do a half spin. This mechanistic shift requires legal hegemony and political banter to manipulate the model. Though representatives find more security in ensuring they enjoy their seat. The aristocrats of old are the politicians of new. Varying positions with a little more freedom but the same problem. The same failures in Athens and Rome are present in England and America. The power to rule does not accord with the people’s desires. Egotistical panic plays politics framing answers in evasive rejoinders. The vertical asymmetry is slowly catching on. The public though aware of the political ploys maintains its grudge against its fellow countrymen. Immersed in an obvious illusion. Having already seen the true face of the devil then mistaken the devil for a hallucination. Recalling the snippets of reform whereas his countrymen has failed to legislate. 

One step forward two steps back. Eventually the utopia will be reached. If steps forward were linear and not circular. Making the wrong turn not out of idiocy but madness. Following the map drawn by the institutional reps. Their word is prophetic. News anchors flaunt these maps to the public. Trust these, they were orchestrated by those reps themselves. Yet no one is able to breach forth. Returning to the same point of origin. Zero intuition or deviance is questioned. Those who deviate are hounded for their misdeed. News councillors mock them and publicise their sin for everyone to join in on the attack. The victim’s cry for assistance is ignored. Screaming do you not see the divine sing. The fire from heaven consuming only the victim’s sacrifice. The counsellors are not disturbed but the people are for a brief moment. Then the counsellors issue death threats and the public follows retracting the previous incident. Their repentance inadequate and conditioned on narcissistic preaching. In the same hole as their predecessors.

Evolutionary change would at least seem enlightening. The stale toleration is an unbridled public ignorance. No name calling in public unless felt otherwise. Ideally there is a distance since the stereotypical makeup cannot be eclipsed. Toleration admits defeat to the diversified congregation. Anarchist tendencies malign any essential tracker. Stripping ideology of its prowess. As long as the top-down order educates in its preferred model. The sown seeds of malice may only be verbal bullying but contextually it is more powerful than physical bullying. It is not a matter of a lesser degree. The magnitude of control is irrelevant as long as the mechanism remains in place. What is ideal is rarely ever upheld. Inching away at the borders to extend jurisdiction. The only real freedom is for the legislators who can never be prosecuted in their group protection scheme. Civil rights strengthened with contempt. Legality is the only way to ensure instead of refurbishing values. An educational lesson in the original document without speculating of historical insufficiencies. Nitpicking the language to ferment a societal picture denying the founding intention on a technicality. Fuel rage at the brainwashed instead of recognising their victimisation and fall guy positioning.

Vertical vectors are currently challenged. Backsliding avenues are exposing the radical insular corruption in the representative sphere. Rome has met its maker once again. The next caesar may be lurking in the shadows. The populist leadership to win back the people’s losses are crucified as an irreverent actor seeking glory. Blackballed from contention. Gradual dynamics protest but they are inconsistent. Blinded by the media’s strong interior. A wall of defence protecting the fraudulent. Are these backsliders and independents the near future utopian saviours? Ideally potentially but what will it bring? Will enough people get on board? Will it last? Every outlandish outcry is brief. Feeble public energy to challenge. Spewing talking points without consideration nor analysis. Short-term memory loss cuddles the nation’s peasantry. To the slaughterhouse they go without batting an eye. There is room for progress. A chance to speak up but insufficient outcry derails its impact. Exploitation is revealed detailed to the public but they have accepted their fate. Robots with no will. To be screwed cry about it and move on. There will is a tin box wound to obey.

Elitist Exceptions

By: Jonathan Seidel

Agamben’s state of exception notes the indispensability of law simultaneously outdated. Law’s acceptance without knowledge of its contents. Legislators right up documents and law enforcement studies up on the details but the average citizen has no idea. The electorate devise behind closed doors shoving pieces of nonsense into elongated documentation. The law is never simple and exceeds the jurisdiction of the constitutional format. The beuqacratic nightmare is heavily assaulted with unreasoned absurdity. The people never asked nor wished for this extensive package. The price of literacy and codification may be to blame for this extreme improvisation. 

Society has its way of functioning. For man order is necessary for cohesion and advancement. That order may not be equal nor ethical but the logistical strata completes its cycle repeatedly. Monarchs no longer run the show, the law still acts as its supreme rulership. The law may not have a mind of its own but it does require obedience. The law demands respect as the pinnacle of societal order. For society to persist, the law must stand at the bedrock of civilisation. To ensure equity under the law, it is provided transcendent power. It can never be erased except through violence. Only through revolution, toppling the system can a new system take its place. Rebelling against the law will only lead to prison. Reform is a later consequence in favour of amending the law. Yet the law itself can never be amended. Its details can shift but not its totality. Then again, even if the law is toppled and new law takes it place, the law is still present. It may be not be in previous form but it is still the transcendence of society. It is still the tool of order. The monarchs wielded this tool for their own gain but at the same time were subject to the norms they commanded. The law bound them to their position. Privileged in their position but nonetheless sanctioned to the legal order of logistical uniformity. 

Law precedes humankind. Law is the mechanism of intellectual repression. Humanity has evolved and can no longer be tamed by nature. The laws of nature have no effect so man constructs his own. He creates a dogmatic hierarchy of such systematic power. Principles that play into the favour of the legislated. Yet with this power, the legislators bind themselves to the order of the law. They may seem to control it but it in effect controls them. They must use the sword to cut the enemy but it is the sword that saves them indebted to its strength. The sword asks for nothing in return but its continuous use to defeat enemies appeases it. The law has no feelings but legislators do. The law is a concept but yet a realistic weapon. It cannot fight back conventionally but its use can never be impinged. As long as man seeks to unite, law will be enforced. Legislators see law as greedy people see money. It is a way of making life better at the expense of servitude to its process. A slavish impact to the almighty order. An order that will subject them when they leave office or expelled from it. It is a power that is enforced on others, where the enforced may not take too kindly. It is a gamble with serious consequences. Manipulating forces beyond their ken. 

An ignorant citizenry may let the law dictate their lives. May allow their legislators to absolve themselves of their duties. Yet, the truth will come out. Some may be Scott free but others will be reprimanded. It may be arbitrary, it may just be that time of the year but it will occur. People will wake up and push back. Shackled slaves may not succeed but they will harm with little care for the ramifications. The power remains in the legislator's hand though he may be dead. His successor will uphold his doctrines but he will be no more. Is life worth the eventual bounty. Law is an instrument of society but its weaponisation can be one’s undoing. A monarch may follow in his father’s footsteps but be the sacrificial lamb to the revolution. He may have been a good monarch but the concept of monarchy has lost its edge and an example had to be made. His predecessors’ use of force was the downfall of the regime. At the same time, a noble family lose its prestige not from any wrongdoing but due to egalitarian concerns. Democratic awakening that coincided with the noble’s lifespan. Fate is tricky but it responds to the order. The law exists before and after mortal man. When the current shifts for a new master, the flexible law flows upstream. The law cannot be mastered, only be temporarily convoluted for exceptional reasons. The law that is ignored remains at bay. New strictures enforced are musings of legal extensions. 

Law has become wrought with dubious incursions. Attempting to fit an agenda on the map. Law makers seek to improvise their own aspirations, an ego trip of personal regard. A law that lasts as long as the dynasty wishes to uphold it. Then again, the expansion of legal statues are never nullified. Only agonised in the case of conflict. Only protested by known legislators. The law has force by virtue of its inauguration into the system. The law isn’t easily removed though it is easily imprinted. The lack of awareness and scrutiny to legislation proves the incompetence of law makers. If it doesn’t oppose the legal order it is adequate. Yet this is the Hamilton-Jefferson debate. Whether law is anything not mentioned in the constitution or law is only that which is in the constitution. The former feared anarchy while the latter feared tyranny. The more legislation imposed the more power the government has. It isn’t so much what one legislator can do but the increased sovereign power of the institution. A lust for legal malleability takes away from the simple purposes of the authoritative apparatus. The goal isn’t to control people but to protect them. For Hamilton, law acted as a corrective to ensure societal cohesion. The more law the central power the more unity. For Jefferson law was a means of negotiation. Law ensured the treaty between government and people. The less law the less central power the more independence. 

Legislation is often overlooked. Judicial branches mainly cover the high profile cases while regular legislation is permitted to flow through the channels. No oversight or scrutiny only furthers the issue. Law is not dangerous in of itself but it is the manner in which it is wielded. Law is an element of society and cannot be erased but can be utilised for discriminatory purposes. The American Patriot Act was seen as an important ascent of routing out possible terrorists hiding in plain sight. Subdued by their increased power, this legislation lead to a number of scandals. Illegal surveillance was exposed by Snowden and people grew angry at him. How dare he show us the truth of our ignorance. Typical dubious justifications followed. Well if there is nothing to hid then it is alright. Yet does this legislation have the people’s intentions in mind? Without further scrutiny did it reach problematic heights? Laws going into effect do not automatically exist as they do but morph over time. Permission was granted based on an illegitimate notion. No one gave permission to access citizenry data but the legislation provided that leeway if they could justify the threat. Expanding the principles beyond their original intent. The citizenry saw it only for terrorist agendas but the government went further than permitted and acknowledged. It subverted the citizenry’s trust and betrayed them. Obama claimed that he stopped terrorism when in reality it did nothing but gain information on citizens. 

Governmental control is the signal of legal aptitude. Yet it’s primarily applicable in an age that sees equality as some light of hope. The constitution is the law but it is subject to change. The law is the foundation but that foundation can be altered by bi-partisanship. The idea is that a democracy of elected officials would only act in the public’s interest but they never do. The US government on its own accord overruled the supreme court and gave itself sovereign immunity during the founder's era. Anti-war and anti-war on drugs have been silenced and ignored. Officials can partake in insider trading without any issue and will always be absolved. Lacking accountability and profiteering their corporate friends. Law makers keep hoping for reelection so they do not lose their legislative privilege. Using tax payer money to build a new stadium or provide access to corrupted fiends. Law is an application for those outside the circle. Yet in many regards legislators should under the law as well. Their own covid doctrines should’ve applied to them yet they didn’t obey nor were they prosecuted. The law exists but has no significance if elites are never punished. If law enforcement turns a blind eye to the legislator’s own betrayal, then the law is negligible. It is forced on one side of the population but not the other. The terminological difference is explicit. Monarchs didn’t have rules but legislators do. Choosing not to and not having to are two different things. Citizen ire persists to those who deceive not those who are in charge. 

Agamben’s state of exception meshes with a section of elites who are forced to be part of the law but then do not partake in their own legislation. Rules for thee not for me is a statement a monarch would proclaim but a legislator brands. It is an ignorance for rules not absence of them. For Biden’s son to not receive the punitive punishments for drugs that he enforced is not the lack of law but the lack of enforcement. Law exists and requires punishment, it is the measure of making an exception for a specific individual. The elitist exceptionalism undermines the gravity of democracy. The law is above everyone but the enforcers decide for ego reasons to turn a blind eye. When money and status can overturn or erase a problem, the state of exception is apparent. In hierarchical systems there were laws for different people. The law was relatively codified while democracy seeks to absolve the law. The law is ignored. Its force is apparent but its significance irrelevant. Coercive power for the few. The regulars and the weak. To prey upon those with little connections and prestige. The feudalistic archive is more nefarious today. The ability to subvert law only undermines its power. Selective persecution deems democracy a farce. The lie of democracy and of communism was the equity promised. The old age new way was in store. Annoyed but acknowledged. Today, the systems promise one thing but provide another. A kosher restaurant that serves pork. 

The spectacle of democracy is handedly measured in the literacy output. Codified law is no longer the extent of capabilities but the extension of possibility. The age of orality was cultural. The legal codexes were summaries of axioms instead of regulations. Law was life. It was a traditional metric. Courts were unnecessary deciding fate amongst one another. Person A accidentally killed Person B’s goat, Person B compensates with either a goat of his own or pays a few coins. A third party may be privy to the event but it was more a house rules sort of venue. There are certain principles to follow. Not too complex and easy to comply. There was a hierarchical difference but the system was fluid and comprehensible. Law was in the nature of existence. Law was a way of being. A way of order and function. The advent of literary codes extended lawful life to the backdrop of central necessities. Codified order would be easily remembered as well as easily modified. Yet codification was hard to break. The canon was held tight with little wiggle room to manoeuvre. Traditions couldn’t easy be changed as the codified work was trans-generational. Power was centralised with the elite instead of the people. It was more governmental intrusion instead of subjugation. To easily modify difference across cultures, codification answers the unknown answers. Easy to look up and easy to understand. The oral switch to writing prioritised legal fluctuation and power in the ideological matrix of hierarchical might. Law was not life but control over the masses. 

Codification nested itself in monarchical might. The original canonisers were liberalists. Law was to be codified to ensure equality. No person could redeem himself to hurt others. Privileges only went so far. If it is printed it is engraved forever. Complexity to change only heightened hopes for horizontal freedom. Yet the reemergence of monarchies only weaponised to their behest. Writing legal codes to control the masses. To ensure all was following the way of their vision. If the monarch stood atop the law, the codex was according to him. The sage had triumphed over the prophet. Able to manipulate law to his goal. Authority of life expression was by the whim of the the monarch. Legislating that which aided his cause. The onset of democracy sought undo this disaster. Placing the law in its esteem above all yet permitting the citizenry to make changes. Though in the same mishap as the Romans, the elected corrupted the system. The law although above all is a spectacle to the public. There are certain aspects that cannot be undone but many are trying to expunge. The law remains a tool for further legislation. More writing and more changes. Adding so many regulations that people cannot keep up. Law has become more obtuse and more obscure. Literacy’s infatuation with law has furthered the distance between life and law. Life is illegal without knowledge. Confusion and perplexity hound the public. Acting on intuition praying law enforcement is lazy. 

Control is the new order. There is good control and bad control. Good control is logistically savvy but bad control is tyrannical penetration. Seeking to indulge more and more. The constitution is the great mind of order but its function acts differently for various groups. The legislators themselves are the worst criminals. Acting in bad faith for their own agendas. They are modern nobles with less morals. At least the medieval jerk was born into an asymmetric system fuelled by inequality. The modern jerk is a social climber hellbent on improving his odds. He is a selfish cunt who looks for his own growth at the expense of others. Seeking to use his position to unravel the tenants of democracy. He only likes democracy so he could be a tyrant. A jester with a cape. A liar with an elongating nose expanding after each public speech. Modern politicians have cultivated the state of exception by their own disregard for the law that enabled them to reach their spot. The seeming disconnect between the privileges and the obligations that follow. Such uncanny irony undermines the facets of hypocritical and narcissistic alignment.

Elected Tyrants

State of exception representation and congressional immunity (Agamben, 15)

Schmidt introduced a state of exception denoting the ability of the sovereign to transcend the rule of law. While this eventually reflected the nazi suppression of civil rights to create the third reich it is telling how the concept still holds sway in democracies. 

Democracies are not in a state of exception but exception is how they believe they exist. The marital law model imprinted in Schmidt’s analysis is different in the cemented democratic continuity. The point isn’t that congress openly suspends the rule of law but that it irresponsibly affords itself immunities unbecoming of a government. The exceptionalism of the government is evidently its own elitist mantra. Schmidt painted this as a historical development towards tyranny but it actually marks a realisation in democratic societies. The reason for such suspension is not solely a tyrannical technique but mimicked. The tyrant suspending the law is copying the governmental officials. The fall of the Roman Republic was due to the internal governmental corruptions. Senators were criminals. They were tyrants. Leaders without accountability living free of the law. It is only natural that someone will grow sick of their charade and commit the same devilish act they were. Fighting fire with fire. Receiving the deserved punishment for tanking the nation under their corrupted egoism. If governmental officials believed themselves to be above the law, obviously a tyrant would do the same then subjugate them for the error of their ways. 

Plato was correct concerning democratic fallibility. The democratic rule eventually led to tyrannical reign. So the senators were elected, it didn’t make them any nicer nor generous. They were placed in power and represented their own interests instead of the job they were appointed. Instead of a single leader, there were multiple leaders either colluding or individually committing crimes. The belief that elections and multiple officials in any ways dissuades corruption is mightily false. An illusion based on liberal thinking. It must be better than a monarch at least. Yet the illusionary detail of democratic liberty is at stake. If anything, the prevalent governmental criminal activity undermines democracy. Adding on their lack of accountability demurs honest democratic process. There are rules for everyone except those in power. It doesn’t matter the gender, race or ethnicity. Power is immunity. Stay long enough in the government and criminal activity is projected ten folds. Placed in a position to help the public and instead turn their backs on the hopeful. 

Governmental officials are situated in an elite class. Most draw from the wealthier part of life but even if not, the realm of elected officials is filled with responsibility and prestige. This prestige commands respect and receives access. Insider knowledge used for personal stakes especially in the market is incredibly devious and unfair. Yet it is those making the decisions who have the knowledge at their fingertips. Making decisions for their wellbeing. Whether or not it aids the public is at times irrelevant. The nation is forced to follow certain rules, well that is for the commoner. The elite can slip past those rules. Covid restrictions only apply to the average person. Legislators can do whatever. Since there is no one to stop them and no one who can punish them. They are immune. They make the rules and do whatever they wish. Whenever a scandal emerges it is swept under the rug. Backlash is derided by the media and ignored by the spokespeople. Horrid representatives who act as they please with little accountability. Who will lock them up? Who will risk the charges? They are elected officials. They are immensely important? Do not raise a finger against them. They are greater than you. Winning an election has propelled their status. They are elites. How dare you oppose them. Bend the knee commoner. 

It is only the officials whose family is immune to scrutiny. Legislate huge punishments for drugs crimes but your addict son is free of charge. Sell out your country to other nations for personal profit. Care more about a dishonest country than native sufferers. Push a disastrous war for military weaponry. No punishments and no apologies. The media hounding those who question such authority. The government can never be wrong. Deja vu is occurring. Was Orwell correct? Abandoned principles punishing the citizenry. Officials are immune to scrutiny. Screw up, kill thousands no jail time. Lie under oath, kill millions still in charge. Governmental immunity and irresponsibility has destroyed the lives of citizens and yet they live scot free in mansions. They reside on a separate wavelength. One not prone to right or wrong. One not tested with average problems. There is no accountability. There is no respect. It is a self interested device for personal gain. Nothing changes. The system is problematic. It cultivates an elitist division. They live out there without any moral compass. There is no reprisal for any wrongdoing. A half witted public apology does not bring the dead back to life. Shrug it off and continue massacring. 

Officials stand behind the state. A smokescreen for their affairs. The state can invade privacy, the state can attack citizens. It is the state. They are always in the right. Yet it is not the state, it is individuals using a position to leverage constructed superiority. Coining state power to derail other potential adversaries. Individuals make up the state. It is in their interest not the state. They claim to speak for the state but they are not the state. The state is the people. The people are what matters not the elected idiots who propel their own careers over citizen needs. Legislators will so much power they exert it in separating themselves from any commoner’s hurtful life. The state is them and they can do whatever. With a politicised court, there isn’t much officials cannot pass through. It is all about what they can get. What can the state take from people. Raise taxes help rich folk screw over the poor. A classic cycle in repetition. A never-ending circle of despair. Those who speak up are eliminated or excommunicated. There isn’t much to be done. There is a way of life in the government that colludes undermines and attacks citizens. It works against the people’s aspirations and destroys their dreams. 

Lazy Defence

By: Jonathan Seidel

Nietzsche’s civilised assault: aristocratic power and anarchy-liberation

Humans tend to see animals as less. They are wild beasts with no moral compass. This what makes humans superior. Nietzsche argued that the masterful nature is in line with the beast-like mentality. It is the weak who create civilised protection to cultivate goodness for themselves. Yet animal are not all that unethical. It is man who for his own prosperity creates society for his own superiority 

Nietzsche portrays the jungle as a place of genuine cruelty but one with inevitable consequences. The strong rule in the wild. That is a fact. It is society that embraces the feeble sensitivity. Animals prey on one another to survive. It is a scarcely protective space for defence. The feudal lords promised protection for labour. Out in the wild, the weak would die. No one would defend them. The birds of prey would annihilate the helpless lambs. Nature is cruel but fatalistic. It is only with the aid of the master that the slave survives. The master fends off the prey with his strong ax. An enlightened sheep whacking at the hungry bird. Escaping, the novice sheep is in debt to the enlightened sheep. Fulfilling his every need as penance for his help. The enlightened sheep promises protection if the novice rubs his feet every evening. Such a deal is struck. They work together. Even if the bird of prey attacks periodically, the novice needs the enlightened’s aid. Rubbing his feet every evening on the possibility that the bird may come back. A master emerges as a special kind of person. One with ambition and strength to protect the weak.

One day, the novice sheep tells the enlightened that he doesn’t want to rub his feet any longer. They are safe away from the birds of prey. A bird hasn’t attacked in decades. They must be somewhere away. The enlightened shoots back with no I have kept them away. You are happy here because my efforts have prevailed. Trust me. The novice believes him and continues. Growing annoyed at the possibility of lying, the novice raises his voice. This is pointless. I rub your feet and yet need no defending. The enlightened laughs of course you need protecting. No I do not the novice says, I have god. God will protect me. God will provide for me. The master laughs and shews him away. The novice continues to rally his voice about a protector deity. One who aids the novice. The novice doesn’t need his master because his new master is greater than the mortal incompetent. Slowly, the master is tied into this bind. Coercively believing that the novice is telling the truth. To rid this novice of his lunacy, the enlightened puts him on trial. How dare someone speak out of line. I am the master not some metaphysical uncertainty. Not some invisible nonsense cooped up by a false saint. The novice is found guilty and murdered.

While the master thought that with the novice gone the ideas would cease, he failed to take into account the twitter backlash effect. Attempting to quash the novice’s ideals instead bolstered them with his demise. He is a martyr for other servants. The enlightened had accumulated a group of novices that needed protection. Under the band of his salvation he had them do other chores. Laundry and farming. Over time the protection seemed more of an excuse than a profession. Lounging around in his luxury all day, waiting for the day of defence. A soldier off duty until the enemy arrives. It never did. The inverted boy who cried wolf. The wolf never came but the townspeople kept believing it was possible. Yet growing weary of the ruse they look inward. Questioning the legitimacy of a soldier who never defends. The contract is void if he is not protecting. He is using us. The rebellion marches forward based in the ideals of the now martyred saint. Rebelling against the master. Massacring his estate and establishing a new ideal based on metaphysical notions. Based in spirituality. The novices are now in charge with spiritual expertise. Claiming their own majesty. An intriguing model that elevates all the novices while demoting all enlightened. Protectors are needed with a deity’s shield. 

Focusing on the spiritual the novices take charge. Spiritual primacy is the hallmark of perfection. In time, the new enlightened take centerstage under the auspices of the novices. The novices continue to control the enlightened. Noble efforts cannot overtake the novices. The old masterful ideology has vanished with novice philosophy controlling all. The cracks of the novice ideology soon begin to whither. Enlightened folks attempt to topple the novice ideology. Attempting to rid it from the frame. Folded in the ideological mark must compromise. The enlightened are dubiously enlightened. They reckon with even more novice thought. The Neo-novice character seeks to liberate the excluded from the novice ideology. The novice ideology imperfect in its might could not stop the enlightened to reach the pinnacle of success. Coming to an agreement so both can maintain power. Even utilise for their own superiority. The novice ideology so pervasive clouds the enlightened’s judgement seeing themselves as partially novices but using to their advantage. Yet the Neo-novice ideology strips the novice ideology with renewed slavish rhetoric. The novice ideology was compromised so a further novice ideology is necessary. Spiralling all enlightened ideals into disarray. With little hope for the enlightened ideology to regain its powerful rightful place as the leadership of humanity. 

A coup dismantled the rightful and most just system for a crippled means of pleasing everybody. The novice is scrawny. Endangered in the wild. It is the muscular who shields him. As humanity develops the scrawny shifts to ignoramus. While the ancient sapiens were based in physical strength the later were in intellectual strength. The danger of the wild has yet to change but the muscular sheep used his brain to develop a weapon to fend off the bird of prey. He can rise above due to his knowledge. The weapon acts as a deterrent. His deterrent protects the flock. The sheep can defeat the bird with his strength. The ignoramuses have nothing to fear. Authority is vested in the protective capability. Yet the deal must hold up. Why rebel. Ungrateful servants. Seeking paradise beyond the contractual agreement. The novice lends little reliance on the enlightened’s model. The less wars, the more time the novice can see the cracks in the system. The enlightened isn’t worthy of servitude if there is no protective cause. His authority is bested by criminal behaviour. His authority rests on a false promise. War though seeks to unify the group. Standing tall against the enemy. His power and strategic genius will lead to victory. He has the resources. The novice need his masterful instruction. 

Man is a beast without proper direction. He is a lost cause without the power of an enlightened mentor. He will be harassed in the forest. The birds of prey will capture him and kill him. He must lend his submission to the enlightened for his salvation. Life is better than death. Only do a few simple things for the enlightened and he will grant your wish of living a long life. The jungle is everyone for themselves, a dangerous area. The enlightened sees an opportunity to establish a defence. It is his brains that construct the walls of Jericho. An impenetrable fortress. Since he is the most powerful he also must be protected. He is placed in the centre with extra safeguarding. He is protected by the novice guards. Living lavishly until war breaks out. He stays in bed until he is called to act out. Since he is the military leader he may as well be the supreme political authority. His brilliance of military excellence translates fluidly to political order. A legal format whereby he legislates for his own success. He binds the public into a wider contractual agreement. His brilliance is second to none and can lead the people successfully into battle. Yet while the battle is not being waged the people do what they can to help him grow. Protection equals the ethical fixing of subjugation for his self interest.

Is the novice so endangered in the jungle? Is submission the sole way of survival? Answering in the negative is a political ploy to maintain the slave mentality. Enslavement works on dehumanising the capability of rising up. The masterful mindset demonstrates its power once for infinite compliance. Promising protection for enslavement. Dehumanise instead of reaching the pinnacle individually. At its worst some may perish alone in the jungle. It is a scary place and missteps will lead to doom. Others fated to suffer will not make it through natural selection. The master attempts to curve this darwinian fatalism with protection. Yet at the same time subjugates those who could’ve become masters themselves. Ensuring his own reign with no opposition. Creating a system on a lie for his own prestige. At its best there are some individuals but the jungle is never a solo journey. The novice is surrounded by caring characters. In the darwinian theme, the family may be killed off but working together can properly defend against the birds of prey. It is only when the individual runs off that vulnerability is exposed. Unfortunate cases and the enlightened sees that such children do not go missing since they are inside the walls. Preserved from any accidental escaping.

The dog-eat-dog world is divided by species. Species themselves for the most part only devour other species. Thus in the case of prey, defending in a familial pack has a stronger way of surviving. Adapting to the prey growing smarts to avoid the attacks. Even countering with their own slew of traps. Natural selection only works with unadaptable species. The brawn can exercise and the brains can educate. Yet the latter more than the former requires a guide. Still, for both to reach the pinnacle of adaptability a mentor is necessary. In the Niezschean theme there may have been an original man who figured the complexities of nature and overcome the issues. Promising to protect for service. For the first generation Nietzsche is correct but the generational hold makes little sense. The tactics only kept to a specific family is no longer a personal endeavour but spite. Whether by fate or destiny one figured out the truth. Why not share it with everyone? Why subjugate for personal domination? This wisdom is preyed over the heads of everyone else. Telling all others this is the only way to live. All defectors are exiled and considered heretics. The master fears losing his power. Paranoid, he voids all those who have the power to diminish his rule. 

In the jungle it is live or do. Forced to adapt to survive. Thriving off quick thinking. Some genetics provide success while others lead to death. Those who survive gain new insights. Able to attain the knowledge had the master never enclosed the knowledge to his offspring. Erecting walls in defence, he deprives the novice the possibility of figuring it out himself. Near death experience provides that wisdom. Those who simply live in fear passive in their approach are fragile figures. Those who need protection. There are always scaredy cates who wish to submit to void the dangerous encounter. Traumatised from rumours swirling around the neighbourhood. Not wishing to experience the potential horror they submit to the instructor to preserve their sanity and body. Even if the first generation is truly an alpha, his descendants act alpha but are truly beta bums. It is the sin of ancestors that the slavish contact continues. Novice descendants could overcome the trauma. A deceptive lie to ring in phobic idiots. Unaware that they can overcome the enemy. Whether well-intentioned by the enlightened or not, his descendants do so with ill-will. Holding the instructions over the public’s head, playing off of generational trauma only seeks to derail the individual to realise himself and stand up. 

The superman is the novice who breaks through the nonsense. Whether that be religious or political institutionalism, whether he be a secularist or a commoner. Whether a plebeian or a Jew. The courage to escape to the woods and survive there is the answer to overcoming the enlightened. Learning their methods they hold so secretive. Passed down generationally. The enlightened with a knowledge they never experienced. The only one to do so was potentially a kind-hearted protector. A father who fended off a lion. Hearing of his exploits others came to him. He trained a few to protect the many. A leader with the ability to protect the herd. In time this group gathered many more. Training was much and in need of building tools and walls, other men were designated to do harsh labour but necessary for survival. The tribe eventually grew and by the third generation whether through conquest or non-warriors, certain warrior families became the nobility and all else the commoners. The warrior ancestors who were no longer warriors possessed a right to their supremacy. A once good will became bad faith by entitled children. Lied to by those who wish to retain their power. Narratives told with the nobility as the liberators. A right their ancestor and they themselves provide until this day. Heed their word, their lineage is glorious while yours is tainted with novice blood. 

The chaotic jungle is not a one-on-one duel. Species live in packs to perceive their kind. While not always nice to others they are to each other. There may be a hierarchy but one that is familial instead of regal. The enlightened’s wisdom does not come to protect the novice but to use him for his agenda. Society is a theatre for his own paranoia. It is survivable in the jungle together. No need to be seduced in absolute perfection but a liar. The promise of salvation buys their descendants’ lives for eons. The revolt by these descendants acknowledges that the enlightened is not that much more enlightened. Symbolised with a greater deity but if anything rebuilding the normative ethic. Hierarchy is fine but not in despair. Not in a devilish tale to hold the gullible imprisoned by their ignorance. The promise leads to an established ontological legacy that fails to match the one of old. Only with knowledge can they try to outmatch the novices. Novices can work together. They can overcome the enemy. The master is only impenetrable if the descendants all work together. Keeping the public at bay. Playing on their fears and subduing their will. They are only protected if they listen. Brainwashed into generational bogus based on good will for protection by one experiencer. One survivor of an enemy assault giving him advantage leads to a superiority complex amongst his descendants. Pure chance is the origin of unequal reflection. 

Enlightened tell of the wild’s dangers. The rumours are circulated for generations. It is the enlightened who protect. Only they can provide the salvation. Unable to escape the simulation. Stooped in the theatrical, the novices do not think otherwise. Even if angered they do not possess the access to overhaul the enlightened. Fearing for their families. They are at an obvious disadvantage. It is the heroics of a privileged individual. An enlightened defector who brings the novices a new voice. While this can be perceived as an attempt to establish his own superiority, such ideals are antagonistic to the masters. He already possesses his wealth, he is really gambling his death for opposing the current regime. For the sake of becoming a king he puts up with a novice bunch. Such a superiority complex is tested with those who are completely induced in a profound matrix. His empathy bursts for the from the outside. Seeing the simulation as a stunt for control. He speaks of a higher purpose. Overcoming the current regime with a higher power. If anything religion is a careful ruse to dismantle the simulated presence. The clutches of the enlightened can only be undermined by a greater power, by a greater enlightenment. Searching for the spirit has a more enamouring pull than the meek existence they live. A way of hoarding energy for the cause. 

The privileged revolutionary like the first protector is attempting to help people. It is their descendants who corrupt the entire ordeal. The good will is established. The novices appeal to him and orchestrate a new motto. Shedding the yoke of the enlightened. Rebelling with their new model of living. The revolutionary’s line becomes the slogan to follow. His name rings true in the ears of the public. The mythos of his greatness pass on. Yet his descendants may not be as charitable as he was. The vicious cycle continues. At times new establishments provide more liberty but the authority remains identical through the generations. One saint followed by devilish children. Entitled fools who prey on those protected. A revolutionary emerges and the public is tested how will they respond. What is in their interest? Will this be better for them? Rebellion is easier when the novices are suffering. Yet if everything is okay or only relatively problematic then the prophet will be ignored for the regime’s kindness. It takes guts but also ambition for the public novices to rise up. Having to counter their own routines for an unknown future. The jungle is scary, the walls protect. It seems better to struggle under an exploitive leader than oust him and leave with nothing. As unruly as the ruler is he has the knowledge the public desires to adequately survive. Without the antidote the revolution is a death trap. 

The chaotic jungle is solely a simulated lie to stimulate fear. It is dangerous but possible if the secrets are provided. Experimentation enables children to learn from mistakes and survive. Yet the deception of the enlightened is the generational debt. A debt that seemingly can never be paid off. Your life only exists because of my ancestor. Thus my elevated status is something that is slavish for eternity. A seeming coincidence that permits eternal domination. Yet further is the inability for others to elevate. Refusing their growth. Experimentation can only be executed by those with means. Those with access to experiment. If all are subjugated, focused on their labour, the enlightened are free to experiment. Until the enemy arrives at the gate, they have the luxury of learning. Exclusively maintaining all their discoveries for themselves. With the erected walls, the novices work continues but the enlightened gain knowledge in other fields. The novices work when the enlightened read. Their wealth even more amassed. Fated to be superior. The simulation is the routine of deranged habit. There is no thought for entertainment elsewhere. Once the cycle leads to more liberation, with thoughts possible, their vision to execute is deluded with the inaccessibility and routine slavish mentality. Habituated to stay down with no where to go. 

Unlike the servant, the mystic sees outside the ruse. He is not a typical revolutionary. He does not emerge from the enlightened. He is a novice. A novice who escapes the clutches. Confident and scared he runs to the forest. He learns in the forest and emerges capable. He is strong but not enlightened. He will always be a novice. He cannot escape his familial descent. His blood is novice blood. He can never be one of the masters. A slave for eternity. Even if he knows the truths learned all those years ago in the forest. This was by no coincidence. He bursts to the forest to overcome the myth of old. Yet his revolutionary mindset is a more passive version. He sees the eternal damnation of the slave. Without any access to overcome the masterful brawn, he gains a following that looks elsewhere for strength. A philosophy of fated servitude is one that even eschatologically runs its course. The mystic must awaken the slavish mind. Readying for a new life, one that possesses nuance and confidence. The mystic is the hope for change. The change must come with praise and elevation lest he be crucified for his insolence. Will his martyrdom lead to any fulfilling development down the road. His model tailored to the current framework. Rebellion is a fool’s errand. There is no where to go. A death wish for those suffering now but dead afterwards. 

There is no hope overcoming the masters. The enlightened have transformed a civilised life with their influence. Running away is a danger to all. Only the bold desert and fewer return. Leaving everyone for their own sanity. Yet those who return cannot overtake the herd mentality. Faced with eternal penance there is no way out. Stooped in an eternal cycle of slavery. There is no possibility. The mystic provides vision with no access but the revolutionary has access. Capable of garnering protection, he shoots back. Physical triumph is possible and with his knowledge and means can cultivate a serene society. He is insightful with knowledge. The educated can only do so much with words. Means are out of his hands. His blood prevents him from accessing the means necessary for a revolt. Means necessary to convince the public to push back. His deeds fall on deaf ears. The revolutionary has the means and can push back. Working together they rally the people. They overtake the criminal masters. Establishing a new era. Yet in time that era turns violent. Turns disastrous and unequal so soon afterward.
