You, sir, are a moron of the highest order.
Ther is no tool that is not also a weapon; and no human that would wield it as one.
We live in a decaying system, which in turn produces ideologies of decay to justify its existence.
No matter what cultural signifiers they get packaged with, these ideologies come down to the same material result: a future in which for the average person there is less of everything. To paraphrase Mark Fisher, we find it easier to imagine the decline of civilization than to imagine a civilization worth living in.
Straton wrote that the most common error we commit is to think that ideas determine reality, when in fact the opposite is true. Ideas follow from material conditions; belief systems are formed to explain and justify the way we live. We did not have kings because we believed in the mandate of heaven; we believed in the mandate of heaven because we lived in monarchies.
God appears, and God is light,
to those poor souls who well in night,
but does a human form display,
to those who dwell in realms of day.
