Doc:
You know I’m talking shit because you can handle it. I do not disrespect you in the least bit, hell I don’t even know you. I do know, however, that regardless of your Satanism, I think you are right more than you are wrong, about most anything you post here at ILP. Granted you don’t post much, what you do post I find mostly agreeable.
I just wonder if you could practice your principles without all the effects, if, perhaps, doing so might save you some trouble. I don’t like the fact that you call out your virtues “in the name of” something. I think that takes away your initiative to expand, to incorporate new ideas that, in maintaing a Satanic format, would not be considered.
Satanism is very aggressive if only because everyone else finds it so abysmal, so extreme. If your message to the world is to indulge in the self, become strong and confident, rejoice our natural desires and expressions of power, I should think that a medium for exchanging such information wouldn’t be so trenchant.
You are a champion of individual rights and privileges, yet as a spokesman for such a message your platform seems a bit harsh. I suspect that if you truely felt that your principles were deserved human rights, you might find a way to mediate them without the loss of “potential clientele.” Sure, you aren’t obligated to spread some tablet of beliefs, but at the same time, if those beliefs are so important, you might actually need to feel obligated to champion such beliefs and spread them as gracefully as possible.
I can’t imagine you saying to the world: “you deserve this and I can help you get it, but part of what is deserved is the right of nonobligation.”
My final point is not that what you believe might be a manufactured contingency, or a sadistic practice, of that you’re in fact correct about what you believe is virtuous. That’s neither here nor there. However, if you’ve touched upon something important for humanity, then I think you should be somewhat willing to find a more tolerable vehicle in which to carry it.
Simply said, when facing the world with these gems of wisdom, don’t scare it away.
Eh, no sir, I try not to work as much as I can…or, uh, can’t rather… you know what I mean. I’m waiting for my fantasy, my proletarian benevolent dictatorship, you see, where my work efforts will be for the whole of humanity, where everyone is equal. From there, through a period of re-educating the world, democracy will establish itself without its side-kick “capitalism.” No, I don’t know how this is going to work yet, its still on the drawing board. Got any ideas let me know. Until then, sir, I’ll live a simple life outside of the machine.
So turn the kitchen light off, kid.
