“Die Sache mit dem Sündenbock funktionierte wirklich, als noch religiöse Kraft dahinterstand. Man lud dem Ziegenbock die Sünden der Stadt auf und trieb ihn hinaus, und die Stadt war gereinigt. Es funktionierte, weil alle, einschließlich der Götter, wussten, wie das Ritual zu verstehen war. Dann starben die Götter, und plötzlich musste man die Stadt ohne göttliche Hilfe reinigen. Statt Symbolen waren richtige Taten gefragt. Der Zensor war geboren, im römischen Sinn. Wachsamkeit hieß die Parole: Die Wachsamkeit aller allen gegenüber. Reinigung wurde ersetzt durch Säuberungsaktionen.”

“It is important to not be the last to board an airplane, as airplane seats are often oversold and you may find they need to bump some passengers off the flight. The gate agents will be looking for silly reasons to bump passengers off as they board the plane and if enough are not bumped, the last passengers to board may be in trouble!”

“Our world is full of submissive activities. Shopping is submissive. You wander around buying the things the controllers have placed in front of you. Watching TV is submissive. You watch fictional lives rather than live your own life. Playing video games is submissive. You sit there shooting up the world (in virtual reality), while having no impact at all on actual reality. It’s easy to be a virtual hero, hard to be a real one. One involves no work, and the other is as hard as it gets. Video games are an avoidance of the real world. Voting is submissive too – you delegate your authority to one of the puppets of the controllers. Dominants are active, not passive. They DO. They ACT. They MOVE. They CHOOSE. They DECIDE. They are NOT CONTROLLED by the system. They are FREE. So, what are you?”

“The Ignavi were damned because they couldn’t choose any side other than their own. Even worse, perhaps, is the person who chooses a side that isn’t his own just to please someone he likes, just to generally 'signal his virtue'. Nietzsche despised virtue signalers and humble braggers. He thought they had no virtue at all and were actually self-serving narcissists trying to get their own way. He provocatively referred to himself as the first immoralist, but, really, he believed that all moralists were the true immoralists since their morality was never anything other than disguised and highly polished self-interest. There was nothing moral about it.”

“Look around you. Look closely at your neighbors and the strangers you pass in the streets. Are they starting to morph into fellaheen? Is social media a global electronic machine - a cyber factory - for generating fellaheen ... people who have lost all sense of history and are focused entirely on themselves? Dante called them 'Ignavi' and said they were the most abject people of all.”
