When
you give up your mind, you deserve to die. I think there is a common
theme between every extremist in every sense; they don't think.
What's worse is they refuse to think. I am currently maintaining that
I don't believe in free will, but do free thought. The only thing
that can't be stopped is the torrent of information that you have a
right to be running through your mind. Ignoring it, denying it, and
being afraid of it puts you in a death cult. When I discover that
you've joined this cult, I treat you differently, I don't respect
you, and contingent upon your specific nature while enjoying this
cult are my thoughts about what I wish I could do to you.
Common strategies for alleviating problems have been to turn the other cheek, try to negotiate, and kill him before he kills me. Each one, while containing both good and bad aspects in particular specific situations, all rely on a mode of thought. I wish to inform you that there is another path that many follow I'm deeming as the anti-strategy. Normally, the battle is you trying to send a message to the other person. Whether they bend to your will from your superficial but effective Christ-like niceties, your keen sense of negotiating, or your iron fist, they still subject themselves to your will via your direct intention. No matter the scenario, you need to be in control, make a decision, and be held accountable. But what happens when it becomes too much? What if you fail, or simply refuse? Enter anti-strategy.
The main rule of anti-strategy is to convince yourself. So much effort seemingly goes into trying to make someone believe like you. Why not just flip the table upside down, light it on fire, and start talking to yourself? They disagree? No they didn't. I was wrong? No I wasn't. What's my name? He must've meant my nom de plume. Simply pretend you can't hear, see, think, or google. If you're rational like me, and you come across someone who makes you physically ill by how well they've managed to practice and uphold methods of the anti-strategy, lend me your ear. It is my view that these people do the single most harm to humanity, and have since our evolutionary debut. They waste time, money, and effort. They rob you of life and reason. They stifle whatever it is that we can even remotely consider progress. And who am I to leave you want for examples?
I said any extremist position. Pick your group or stereotype, they all function the same way yet vary on their degrees of destruction. I out the slackers, politicos, and religious as the three most dangerous. I almost think they are too obvious to expound upon, but just in case there are few...idiots, destroyers, wretched wastes of life who literally bank on Facebook to secure our friendship....who think I'd somehow expect you to take my word on it, I'll explain. The religious are the biggest. Because they can range for yokel bigot, to educated hypocrite, it's a flat out cluster-fuck of what they will or won't agree on, and how much we have to put up with them arguing about it. For many of them, it's rational to care about the imaginary soul in a pre-conscious homo-sapien, and do nothing about trying to reduce our infant mortality rate, which is higher here than any comparable industrialized country. They believe cells are the same thing as contorted bloody aborted fetuses. Because of these uninformed, ridiculous, unimaginably stupid beliefs, people who are suffering go without treatments, babies grow up unwanted and may luck out at a shitty foster home, money and time are wasted repelling them, and people are guilt tripped and judged their entire lives. Money floods into pockets to get ads, and debates, and fliers, and megaphones, so we can entertain them like the brats they are. We elevate their nonsense in 30 second debates with real doctors and devoted biologists. Any stand we take loses because we were courteous enough to even show up.
So let's examine this deeper. These people appear to be hypocritical, no? At least entirely confused about their priorities or sources of rhetoric. I'm sorry to say, the truth is much more sinister. Those of us who rely on our world and rational judgment to better ourselves and the lives of those we respect are the true targets of the anti-strategy. By them convincing themselves of whatever they think they heard, said, or did, they absolve themselves of responsibility and quite directly start to suffocate themselves. They become a talking head, a robot, a sacrificial lamb for their favorite ludicrous ideology, and they see you still breathing. So they begin to leech. They make you talk and yell and write and huff and puff until you feel just as empty and lifeless as they do. All the while they claim moral high grounds, divine rationality, perfect love and truth for whatever happens to hit their line of sight that day. You only have to think, if they are willing to do that to themselves, what regard could they ever begin to have for you?
Politicos are in a close vein, but they don't want to claim fame in the name of any immortal god, they want to do it with their inexplicable, inarticulate, feigned effort and feelings. Be they fuckwad Bill O'Reily or the "activist" hipster who tattooed Obama's name on her tits and ass...she's just that special, neither care about what their party says, as long as that party keeps talking. As long as "it" remains this ineffable sense that vibes so close to your heart and can supplement their thought, all is well. Who knew it could be so easy to yell garbled snippets of a speech the day before? You don't even have to decide your favorite color! And on those very special days, you reach the pinnacle of your effort by stapling that sign and walking the streets. Hoor-fucking-ay! Meanwhile you ignore that the people who are voting on 300 page bills directly effecting your life are claiming the world is 6000 years old. They're being reminded that they were so ashamed of an oval office oral, to later be found out to be in a committed loving relationship with awhore who, uh oh, turns out isn't their wife.
They are being bought and sold by oil, medicine, and failing banks,
and you're screaming socialism or hanging Obama next to pictures of
Jesus.
Ignorance is too nice a word for people like those above because it implies that they would learn or change when they heard something reasonable. In come the slackers. A huge number no doubt, but obviously not organized, non-committed, and not caring. These people I find actually tend to know what the hell they're talking about. They read, are talented, and usually fun to be around. Why are they so dangerous and why do they piss me off? They are the living proof that we can never survive if we really try. They take their knowledge or skill and hide behind any social facade. They don't slowly pick away their thoughts alone, they openly celebrate their usual physical demise. I know too much! I must snort and smoke it away. I see through everything! Time to stare at my screen or out my window at the life I'm not trying to get. Played out parties, dead end jobs, and back room tales depict the cool and informed person you really are. You hand your mind over on a silver platter for the ones above to eat and spit back in your face. You submit to no tangible threat, and thus create one.
My mind has shot to violence, indifference, pleading, disappearing...any sort of potentially rational course of action that removes me from that world. I've learned that there is nothing to fight against. There is no last level of a religious mindset, Fox telecast, or hacky sack game. There is the one fundamental dichotomy of our being. You have to live or die. When you let others think for you, you're dead. When you assume responsibility, make rational decisions, and see the black and white in a gray world, you're alive. I'm deeply saddened that nobody can make the decision for you to live for you; I've racked my brain for even a scrap of a way to do it. I'm even more troubled by the fact that someone should be made to feel they have to even try to make it for you. I don't pretend I'm impervious to the world around me, but I don't live in spite of you, I live for me. I understand your mind and despise it, not because it's simply dumb or depressed, but because it feels like it has a right over mine. For too long I believed there was something I could do for you when all you want is my destruction. You want me angry, you want me to write about you, you want to believe that I could be like you. You're sick and hopeless and I'm the one who will leave you to die.

My
biggest problem with all of this is the grouping of stupid people
into groups.. I say, judge them on their individual faults, get to
hate them on a more personal level. As you said, their level of
stupid ranges widely even within these groups.. why bother lumping
them together. For example, many politicos are also religious
fanatics, who ... See Moremisguided logic not only threatens those
around them who just aren't fortunate enough to know God, but our
country as they make decisions for the rest of us.

It's
easier to talk about how the groups function by grouping. I could go
on a personal tangent against individuals, but there's enough people
all doing the same thing, I want to make sure that's what is
highlighted. The overall biggest fault of being apart of the death
cult and adopting the antistrategy, and how it affects us everywhere.
I thought... See More the way I described the religious and the
politicos seemed to overlap enough, but differ more on where exactly
touting one more than the other places you on that scale. I'd say
also, it's not really about grouping "stupid" people, but
showing that there's really something evil and life threatening about
how and why they act.
