“Every victory of man over man has in itself a taste of defeat.... There is no essential difference between the various human groups, creatures whose bones and brains and members are the same; and every damage we do there is a form of mutilation, as if the fingers of the left hand were to be cut off by the right.” IfsMenHumansHandsFormWinningLeftDifferencesBrainCuttingGroupsVictoryTasteCreaturesMembersEssentialsFingersDefeatVariousBonesDamageLeft HandMutilation Book:the zodiac arch Source: the zodiac arch
“Most men do not feel in themselves the competence required for leading their group to victory, and therefore seek out a captain who appears to possess the courage and sagacity necessary for the achievement of supremacy. Even in religion this impulse appears. Nietzsche accused Christianity of inculcating a slave-morality, but ultimate triumph was always the goal.

“In accordance to the principles of doublethink, it does not matter if the war is not real, or when it is, that victory is not possible. The war is not meant to be won. It is meant to be continuous. The essential act of modern warfare is the destruction of the produce of human labour. A hierarchical society is only possible on the basis of poverty and ignorance. In principle, the war effort is always planned to keep society on the brink of starvation. The war is waged by the ruling group against its own subjects, and its object is not victory over Eurasia or Eastasia, but to keep the very structure of society intact.” IfsDifferentWarRealMatterPastEffortPrinciplesPovertyGroupsSubjectsObjectsIgnoranceVictoryBasesStructureEastVersionsMeant To BeAsiaRulingStarvationEast Asia Author:Michael Moore
