With Love From A Blue Rock Quotes

“Nazis Were Nice People! (Sonnet) If you steal from the thieves, can they call the cops! If you heist from the blackmarket, is it really a crime! If you rob the British Museum, isn't it a humanitarian initiative! If you blast Mount Rushmore to ashes, isn't it really public service! Nazis are the most dehumanized community in history, while empires with hundred times the atrocity walk like they invented morality. Nazis were really nice people, they just wanted what's best for the world - tickles you the wrong way, doesn't it, yet you idolize buckingham and the pilgrims!”

“Pavlov's Monkeys (Sonnet 2608) I'm a brain scientist, I know more about human instincts, than the humans do themselves, yet one thing still puzzles me - how can people be so repulsed at the nazis, yet be so stupidly unabashed about the british empire and the american pilgrims, with a criminal record hundred times bloodier! You feel quite at home, proud even, when you hear, 'the British were civilizers, the Americans were pioneers,' yet if I say one positive word about the nazis, suddenly your blood boils like circus-trained dogs! It's good, your blood should boil, your blood should boil at the very idea of hate and persecution, but what kind of a prehistoric orangutan cherrypicks which persecution to be mad at, based on the color of skin or place of birth!”

“I'm a brain scientist, I know more about human instincts, than the humans do themselves, yet one thing still puzzles me - how can people be so repulsed at the nazis, yet be so stupidly unabashed about the british empire and the american pilgrims, with a criminal record hundred times bloodier!”

“Time for Pestcontrol (Naskaristana 2624) It's a sad state of affairs when the geopolitical jungle of our world makes me wish as a biologist, that politics were a genetic characteristic, then we could engineer a virus to wipe out every single politician from the face of earth - and the beauty of it is that, you won't even notice their absence, because every democratic nation has a capable body of civil servants, though partially lazy and corrupt, who would keep the wheel of democracy turning, with the guidance of scholars and scientists, like it's just another Tuesday, because these people are the real engine of democracy. Let's call it "Operation Pestcontrol". But alas, politics is not a genetic trait, and killing the fascist doesn't end fascism, only delays it, so we'd have to take the only other, more tedious but actually lasting alternative, which is, no more compromise with fascism - either be the human citizen of planet earth and confront the authoritarian elements of your part of the world, or do not call yourself human!”
