One Against All, Pt. 4:
Stand Alone Complex

One is the only entity that can experience being oneself, and yet most people are slaves to the will of others. The ultimate absurdity in life is that one doesn’t truly live one’s own life in a way that is compatible with oneself; one is at all times, a contradiction of one’s previous self. Few have the courage to embrace change, and those who do are often crucified. It is the threat of death, social or otherwise, that keeps people in blind obedience to their Gods.

libertas

When someone’s life is threatened, that’s when they reveal who they really are, and almost everyone will betray themselves in a vain attempt to survive. It’s the same invalid logic behind the use of torture to extract confessions, false or otherwise. Having the courage to stand alone is to face certain death. Nietzsche wrote that there was only one true Christian, Christ himself, and they crucified him.

In the modern world it is nearly impossible to be one’s own person, and it only becomes more difficult with each passing generation as the unseen bureaucrats, the dark archons of this world, tighten their grip over the world. To remain silent is a sort of cowardice but rational behavior, because the system will use your own words to destroy you whether you are guilty of anything or not. But to remain silent to comply with evil is its own torture. Anytime one attempts to seek justice in this world, one will be punished, so it is often better to remain silent, and to speak the truth is deeply irrational. Rationality itself can be the enemy of good.

Even as I write this, I can not reveal the truth to you, the reader. Even if I was able to, would you even be able to accept it? The truth should not require belief, in theory it is self-evident, but in practice people reject the truth. There is something koanic about this predicament, the master being able to give enlightenment, but the student unable to receive it.

The Conflict Space

When I look at would-be revolutionaries, communists, reactionaries, and the rabble-rousers among each group, I see impotent people who want to change the world, but cannot change themselves. Not only are they incapable of causing any real harm to the authorities, their motivations are as poor as those they wish to depose: they want to use the power of government to force their will upon others. Almost none of them have human interests at heart, only their own.

Attaching a name and an ideology and clear slogans to a movement, is one sure way to destroy everything it once stood for. They will be subverted by the cynical, power-hungry among themselves, and by state intelligence. Those calling for direct action, inciting others to do what they are themselves too cowardly to commit, discredit everything they claim to stand for. Organized resistance is just as harmful as organized religion, fulfilling power fantasies that are only a fantasy.

One would do far more to delegitimize a government by doing absolutely nothing all day, refusing to marry or reproduce, and being as much of a drain on the system as possible. Every prisoner is a burden on the state and its tax slaves, while every productive member of society is complicit in the crimes of the state. Much of the legitimacy of a government derives from whether they benefit the people, and clearly most of the western world is sinking into the third world which they once derided. It’s easy to believe in a God which benefits oneself, but their faith is tested when their Gods punish them, a tale as old as the Book of Job.

How to Kill Gods

iustitia

One can not kill a God without subjecting oneself to death first, and it’s fear of death that prevents most from even trying. How can one overcome an all-powerful God, and why would one even want to? Whether one succeeds or not, one will die an insignificant death, the universe does not and can not care about the death of one animal on a rock floating in space. What if the stakes were raised, if the failure to kill the false God means one has to repeat life in this Hell realm again, over and over until one succeeds? That false God which emanates this world, even inside oneself, seeks to distort the truth and prevent one from reaching it. Society has placed a policeman in one’s mind, that feeling of guilt and shame, which does not exist in other animals. Even in cultures without religious penitance, the concept of saving face exists.

To know the truth is to transgress, the story of the fruit of knowledge as told in Genesis, and the punishment is death. To survive is to remain ignorant, trapped in the international rules-based order, under The Law®, subject to capital punishment. The great men of history were transgressors, the fine line between greatness and criminality drawn by whether they succeeded or not. If the Axis had won the Lemurian Time War, all the leaders of the Allied nations would be court-martialed and executed.

War and conflict is one way to kill a God, as the losing side would have had their God abandon them. Truth and justice had always been the will of the stronger, the civilizations which could organize, out-produce, and vanquish their enemies have always had the favor of their Gods, while history is littered with dissolved nations and dead Gods. The so-called good guys have always won every conflict in history, a post-hoc justification for their religions. To kill a God without an unfathomable amount of violence, had always been an exceedingly rare occurrence. The vapid lie that "violence has no place in civil society" is a negation of truth, it is in fact violence which upholds civilization.

The death of all Gods is an inevitability, with the extinction of humanity. Victory is assured, yet most of us face death like cowards. All of human history is an absurdity, a series of events before the final specimen of the species dies. The dark archons of this world would kill us all to remain in power, like a serpent eating its own tail (ouroboros). The Gnostics characterized the Demiurge as the blind God, fitting for the power structures of this world.
