1. Science Fiction, for the most part
The genre is mostly shit, built on stories that have nothing to do with science, written for people who know nothing about science, and with no themes that apply to real life. It serves only as an escape for people who are too ignorant to know what bad writing is. Speculative fiction is written usually by people who know very little about the real world and who can relate only to their own daydreams. It's the attempt to circumvent your ignorance of the world around by making up your own worlds.

2. Romance fiction
This is an escape for those frustrated, for whom real life relationships are never satisfactory because the person they are with does not make them happy. These are the women who go into relationships expecting that some guy is going to, or should, make everything in their lives perfect and protect them from ever feeling unhappy about anything ever again.

3. Insulting commercials
Why the fuck do you have an animated lizard advertising insurance? Are toddler's insuring their pacifiers now? Nobody questions it, either so the whole world must think this kind of thing appropriate. The reason they do it is because a fantasy animated creature automatically shuts down the grown-up part of the brain and switches on the infantile picture-book entertainment part so that you watch and accept instead of thinking about, real-life adult matters like money and property. The idea is to make you into a kid again so they can take advantage.

4. Mexican Immigrants
This is because most Americans think they are too good to pick lettuce, and clean their own homes. Everybody sees themselves as belonging to the upper middleclass, or are longing for it so badly that the idea of doing menial work is unpalatable to them.

5. Marriage, how you see it
Your fairy-tale happily ever after shit. Of course, nobody is going to admit to being naive to the point where they actually believe that everything will turn out perfectly now, but they do. Deep down they think that marriage will change their lives for the better, which it doesn't because can't, and when they find this out they switch their expectations to having kids. After 3 or 4 kids they still aren't happy so then it's onto the divorce and the second marriage and so on and so forth on in perpetuity.

I realize that everything here should fall into the categories of "obvious" and "common sense", but they don't since not all of you know them.

Understand this, before you do anything most people have already can't stand you. By the time you actually do something half the poeple in the room want to see your brain splattered on the wall. Here are a few things you might want to keep in mind to cut down on the unnecessary enemies in your life:

1. Keep your mouth shut
Unless speech is necessary. Lots of people don't get this, especially female people. They are unsure of what "necessary" is. "Necessary" means when not talking will cost you money, time, or a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Beyond that it only denotes insecurity and a desire to be heard in order to feel validated, which is just pathetic. Your chattering on about something your boyfriend said, or the cost of Jell-o means that your life has been wasted and you probably should die.

2. Do not stare
I have a feeling that half of the seemingly random murders in this country occur as a result of somebody staring at somebody else. A stranger stares at you for no reason (no, you are not wearing a chicken costume) you have either assume that they are challenging you to kill them, or they plan on killing you. Seriously, why would you do that? What do you think it says to the object of the stare but that you want attention, preferably of the bad kind? Stares mean only one thing: I see you, motherfucker, do you see me?

3. Do not cut in line
Or anything of the kind, meaning casual discourtesy, games of social chicken which are wagers that the other person is not as willing to be rude. How long before you come across somebody with nothing to lose, who just bashes your head against the sidewalk because you cost him a few seconds of his lunch-hour? I sincerely hope it is soon.

4. Don't stand too close
People stink, even if they just showered. Everybody has their own individual aroma and it takes getting used to, meaning it is acquired, meaning unless you have slept in the same bed as me for at least a week, you don't smell good to me, so back the fuck up. Chicks trying to sell you stuff often do this flirty in-your-face thing because they think you are horny and stupid, the problem there is that you are not going to get any, and if you were you would want them to shower first.

5. Get out of the way
If you are standing in a public doorway or a hallway or an aisle of some kind, be mindful of other people who may want to go around you, do not force them to say "excuse me" like they were in your house and needed your permission to do something. If you have to have a conversation, either on your phone or with somebody there, step into the corner or learn to walk in the same direction and talk, otherwise somebody may just follow you the fuck home and torture you with a razorblade in your garage for a few days. So on top of the rest of the shit in my life I have to avoid colliding with some dumb shit-speck standing in the doorway? Fuck that.

They won't get it
The one thing that they ones I have met, those dumber than me, anyway, is that they are profoundly lacking in self-awareness. They cannot assess themselves in comparision to smart people and usually have some self-serving definition of intelligence. If they have degrees, then degrees make you smart, if they have little schooling then they are "street-smart", and that is what sets them above the dumb. Every moron is a genius in their own mind.

It won't make them smarter
Dumb is permanent. You can't learn your way out of it, and no amount of life experience will reduce it. There are old stupid people and stupid people who have traveled and stupid people who have met Presidents and Popes and Nobel Prize winners. They are still very much the morons they always were. You can't make them smart.

It will likely make them aggressive
You say "idiot" and they hear "inferior". It is merely an insult, something done by you in order to hurt their feelings because you are threatened, or envious, or arrogant, not a true assessment of them. Most people constantly reinforce their sense of worthiness by remembering those times they happened to be right about something and forgetting those times when they were wrong. They see you coming along to remind them of the wrong-times and it is seen merely as an act of hostility, the appropriate response being equal hostility with the intent of shutting you up.

They will at some point try to prove you wrong
Which will probably have disastrous results if they are stupid. The thing is that they can't agree with you, and in order to not agree with you they have to make it clear that they are smart. Think Wile E. Coyote. Imagine somebody driven to prove to the world that they are in fact a genius, when they really are not, against all evidence. Failure just makes them more determined.

The picture above was on the 4th page when I googled "fat fuck", along with lots of fat chicks getting boned. The guy I am talking about (Billy Joe) will look like this in about 10 years.

Billy Joe
First of all he looks like somebody who sneers a lot, like his first response is, and always has been loud, vocal contempt. You can hear it in the way he talks to his kids, the heavy condescension and the world weary false patience. He has those parentheses around his mouth that you can imagine deepening into a disgusted drawing of the upper lip. That alone inspires dislike when first you meet him. He speaks carefully too, very carefully, trying to hide the drawl. His H's are hhheytches, and his TH's are softer than a dove's fart, so that he sounds like a first-grade teacher sometimes.

He seems to at least be capable of working hard in that he is always busy, but there is nothing that says "tough" about the man. He seems hesitant, cautious, unsure of how to proceed with everything, including his walk. He swings a hammer with his wrist instead of his forearm, and he snickers at other people's mistakes. There is nothing about him that suggests forceful.

I think he has made a lot of mistakes in his life and is perpetually afraid of making more. I think people who are direct and aggressive intimidate him and that in a fight he would try to line up his punches and move backwards a lot. The key there would be to hurt him badly as quickly as possible, that would make him hesitant and timid pretty quickly, he would stop and start trying to talk things out. He would also run crying "battery" to the police afterward.

1. We are used to white people running things
It would require change and people do not like change. Right now white people in are in charge and have been since everybody alive has been alive. This is the way things are. Nobody (except for maybe the Chinese) wants to mess with the status quo. There is comfort and stability in the things we have always known, in the sense of predictability we get from not having to learn anything new. The west is populated by white people and those they conquered, everybody is used to it and knows what to do.


2. There would have to be a different universal language
A difficult one based on completely different rules and one which is so arcane that it has become an emblem of things that are hard to learn. English is entrenched, even people who don't speak it know that their lives would be better off if they did. To have to switch over to a new master-language would bog the world down in decades of slogging through calligraphy classes and having to deal with the frustrations of mastering the speech of people who don't look like you.


3. Their movies are not cool enough
Sure, I like Jackie Chan and I like kung fu movies. Every once in a while. I could not subsist on them alone. Do they have anything else? I don't know, I haven't come across anything without martial arts in it and would probably find it hard to pay attention if I did. When I see Chinese people on the screen I expect people to start throwing kicks, otherwise I will not be entertained.


4. They are not varied enough
Part of why American culture took over the world, in addition to us speaking a variant of British English, and thus being accepted in all former colonies, is the fact that there are all kinds of people here. White people elsewhere can identify with the millions of European immigrants, and non-white people elsewhere can identify with the millions of non-white people here. It seems built for the exporting of culture. Everybody has an export market.


5. They didn't have slavery/immigrants to base it on
The melting pot (America's most marketable asset) is due to slavery and people running here. Nobody wants to run to China and they are not going to some vastly different shit-hole continent and hauling people away. They are solidly Chinese. I realize that there are subsets of Chinese people, but those subsets are not visible to most of us who are not Chinese, whereas anybody can tell the difference between, say, Barack Obama and John McCain.

Lest I be mistaken for a Jeff Foxworthy imitator let me point out that not only am I not a redneck myself, I am a relative newbie to rural America. This list is somewhat more honest than anything you will hear in his routine or read in his (bestselling) books. It is not intended to be derogatory and is primarily based on my experience of this subset of country-folk.

1. Are you proud of being ignorant?
This includes but is not limited a refusal to try anything new, like traveling, or exotic foods. It's a belief that everything you already know is sufficient and that not reading or being interested in the world around you is an indicator of humility and being genuine.

2. Are you comfortable with squalor?
Picture the living-room in a mobile home in which every flat surface is covered with Wendy's paper-bags and cups, or pizza-boxes and there is dirty laundry draped over the back of the sofa. The air stinks from the smell of dirty dishes piled in the kitchen sink and the overflowing garbage-bin under the sink. On the living-room carpet there is an air-compressor that somebody took apart and forgot to put back together and several, Playstation 2 controllers. This is the home of a family of 5 in Northern Florida, and no, I did not make it up.

3. Can you handle people who disagree with you?
Fox News is their idea of fair and balanced,which means that they have no idea what "fair" is and are incapable of tolerating any opposing viewpoint. Voice an opinion contrary to what they believe and you will be met with bitter rage. The violence of this rage, exemplified by the Civil War, the KKK, the general malevolence of the American Right Wing, is what separates them from everybody else. The redneck is, above all, a person who cannot tolerate any form of dissent, even the implied dissent of not being exactly like him.

4. Are you obsessed with territory and the idea of being invaded?
Rednecks are paranoid, fearful, always have an eye out for people trying to take from them, which gives an insight into their own tendencies and intentions. They like the idea of law and order while they see it as being biased towards them. Their weapons-fetish is largely due to this fear of others.

You can leave no stones unturned or dead horses unbeaten in this fight against the Obamaniacs. It's time to dig up another old issue, but first, we need to remember why it was an issue.

1. They are pretty.
You ever put on a nice suit with a nice tie-clip and some diamond cuff-links and still felt underdressed? Maybe a little dot of red, white and blue would help. They make you look that much more like a real man, like a Republican.

2. Veterans love them
Did you lose your legs and a testicle overseas? No? Well, wearing a flag-pin will help you feel like the men who did. This is you supporting your country in any endeavor, no matter what, because supporting your country is right and you have lost too much to start admitting that maybe it isn't always.

An education and intelligence-based economy
If it depends on knowing facts then that puts the people who don't know shit and aren't interest in learning at a disadvantage, doesn't it? Science is offensive because it creates a hierarchy of people based on smartness, rather than the idiot-friendly race and class economies, whereas magic and superstition are democratic, all you have to do is believe or feel. Science disenfranchises ignoramuses. Of course, they won't admit to being stupid, but they wil always try to prove that geeks don't know everything and do their best to compensate for not being able to understand.

It makes everything predictable
meaning that there is a mundane explanation and you don't have to sacrifice your firstborn to keep that hurricane from destroying your village. Not only is everything predictable, it also means you have no control. It's a lot less scary to think that you can appease a natural disaster (if you try hard enough) than to think that all you can do is scream and run.It invalidates superstition, which depends on everything being unpredictable, yet controllable because there is something to appease. Superstition is the ignorant man's means of dealing with life. If they are meaningless then he has no means of success and nothing to look forward to. He is helpless. He won't make a million dollars because he dreamed of some numbers, his enemies won't die miserably because he cursed them.

Everything is restricted to what is "possible"
Meaning you can't dream about having a longer penis because of a pill you took because that just isn't going to happen any time soon. When it does you will be dead, like those people who died on the day that Orville and Wilbur Wright flew. They died in a world where flying men were still the stuff of fantasy. Science is restricted by the limits of knowledge and the physical world and has no bearing on what you want. Superstition is limited only by the imagination.

Technology becomes centered about making money
So that I will not get to see a giant fly with a human head, or x-ray spectacles seeing that those would have limited value for making money. The only "wonders" you will see are the wonders that somebody can sell to you and a million other people, the million other people being more important than you.

The Science of Fear: Why We Fear the Things We Shouldn't--and Put Ourselves in Greater Danger

Labels: People, Social Issues

1. Hardcore Sex
Full gonzo porn live on the set of Good Morning America. Not with Diane Sawyer and company, though, of course, though they can narrate it if they want. In depth stories into the history of the DP and creampie genres. Big-budget gangbang/orgy events covered the way they cover awards shows and the Superbowl. All your favorite sitcoms with lots of full-frontal spreadeagled nudity. Have the Anchor read the news while sitting on a dildo. The strategy here is simply to out-porn the Internet.

2. Fuck Civility
Let's get into discussions of politics, religion, race, and class like skinheads and gangstas in a prison riot. If it comes to blows then it comes to blows, motherfucker. You get to tell Glenn Beck to suck your dick, then you get to (at least try) to make him do it, you get to reach across that table and slap the dentures out of Larry King's mouth. Make it all less like corporate America and more like the trailer-park.

3. Quality work
Good reporting whether or not it goes over the head of your average American, TV shows that assume that each audience-member has read at least one book in their lifetime, the willingness to fuck corporate America and Washington if they beg for it. The fervent, relentless clinging to idealism, like a naive, young reporter, but mingled with the vicious bitterness of an old, impotent alcoholic. This is pretty much the only job where idealism and bitterness are essential. There is no way you are going to get people to dig truth up without being harshly judgmental and also desperate to fuck over random strangers regardless of their social status.

4. The destruction of the Internet
Control access, control content, corral the populace, monitor everything. Make everybody into an audience, a paying audience. Freedom is the enemy, the people are the enemy if they aren't giving you money. Make it as rigidly controlled and stupid as network television then eventually there won't be enough difference for people to want one over the other.

1. It's simple and unchallenging
Country songwriting these days is largely for people who have discovered that there is no money in bad poetry unless there is music behind it and you rhyme. It's about communicating shallow ideas and emotions simply, like pop music, only simpler. The idea seems to be how you can make music as simple as possible before it stops being music altogether.

2. It's associated with an image: Proud Hickery
Pride in ignorance, kind of like the popular forms of hiphop. It's all about sounding like you have never opened a book or been outside your county in your life. It's music for people who are not even remotely curious about the world beyond Cooterlick, TN, or Hound Holler, GA. They don't need that big-city life, they are just fine muddin' and huntin' and workin' at the saw-mill.

3. Fear of the different
You have to have a certain sound that you get from playing certain instruments, there is no room for innovation whatsoever. This means that you have to sound a lot like somebody else no matter what sub-genre you fall into. The draw is the sameness, the familiarity, the absence of anything challenging. It's a lot like the GOP and Cracker Barrel restaurants. You don't listen to country to experiment, you listen because it's what your granny listened to and it feels like home. Tradition, in other words. Roots.

4. No political correctness
Country music is for white people who still proudly use the word "nigger" as a slur. You might not hear it when you go to a concert, but that will be the definite impression you get. Again, this is very much like the GOP, where even if they are too polite to actually use it they resent it being forbidden to them.

1. The Naturally Stupid
Not everybody was meant to think or to accomplish things. Some people were meant to mop the floors after great men go home for their 2 hours of sleep a night. The problem is that everybody who gets a certificate thinks that they are the shit and that they have ideas that matter. If you have a floor-mopper trying to voice an opinion on politics or even something as relatively trivial as a movie, you are bound to have an ocean of bullshit through which you must swim to find the things that make sense.

2. The Condescending debater
The naturally condescending person whose approach to any debate has to involve expressing contempt for the other position BEFORE dealing with their argument. The minute somebody tries to insult you before shooting down your argument know this: They are upset. The attempt to hurt your feelings is because they are striking back, their own feelings are hurt. This is what you do: note what hurt their feelings and follow that track whether or not it serves your argument. No matter what their feelings will always come before what they know, before knowledge and reason. It's far more satisfying to see them lose it than to win an argument.

3. The Working-Class
People who grew up around the uneducated, the ones who are the first in their family to go to college, these tend to learn purely because it impresses other people. The idea is to make a better life than their parents while impressing the people they looked up to back when they were poor trash like their parents. It's learning for effect rather than learning to actually get something done. Once they become suitably impressed with themselves (they compare themselves to their co-workers and acquaintances a lot) they simply stop learning.

4. People With No Imagination
If you cannot see any reason to learn other than to get yourself a decent paycheck then know that you will never get anything important done with your life. You are a cog in built to generate wealth for already wealthy men and deserve to be treated as such. You are not even exactly human, just a labor-provider, indistinguishable from a million other labor-providers clogging up the roads every morning. Nothing about you matters or should matter.

1. It can read your mind
Of course it can, it belongs you, it knows how to grip it just right. It knows when to squeeze really hard and when gentleness is called for.

2. No multitasking skills necessary
You don't have to worry about being knocked backwards off the bed or hunting down the KY which is in the very back of the nightstand drawer. You don't have to be ready for her to cum so you can stick your forefinger in her anus like she asked, you just have to relax and enjoy the thought of you and Peter North double-teaming your neighbor's cleaning lady.

3. You aren't smelling anything
Not bad breath or farts or smelly feet anyway. People have body odor no matter how thoroughly they shower, or how much perfume they use it's always there. Without it there you lose the chore and having to think past it, pretend that everything smells just great.

4. Your back/knees never get tired
Your wrist might, but then you can rest it a little bit then get back to business, no pressure, no embarrassment. Enough pain and it distracts from the good friction and you start to go limp.

5. If you can't get it up, no biggie
It's only one of you to disappoint, in any case it's doable even then. It's just you and your dick going about life as best you know how, nobody needs to know a thing. The minute it happens in front of her then it's more pressure for the next time, and the time after that, like a snowball of inadequacy.

Good Things About Vaginas That you Don't Get from your Palm

1. Attached to a woman
And tits, you can't forget about the tits. Women tend to be soft and warm, too and make sexy noises.

2. Cleanup
Somebody else is responsible for it. No more overshooting the Kleenex.

3. Conquest
There has to be something good about you to get a woman interested, even if all it is the fact that you can find $20. There are lots of people in this world who can't find $20.

4. They look nice
Nicer than your palm, anyway. Nobody spends hours on the internet looking at pictures of other guy's palms.

Masturbation as a Means of Achieving Sexual Health


Masturbation: the History of a Great Terror

Labels: Sex

1. How to be sneaky
You figure out ways to keep things hidden. You learn to look without openly staring. If you want to stare up her dress you learn how to fake the dropped cellphone, you want to watch two dogs mating in your neighbor's front yard you find the perfect excuse to be right there at the fence without arousing suspicion. In short you learn to be sneaky, but good sneaky since your reputation depends on it.

2. You figure out how to search the internet
Basically, finding anything good via google is largely about knowing the lingo associated with your fetish, also knowing how to use the boolean terms, etc.. It's not complicated, but it means that you have to be educated about your particular school of lust. Remember, as a pervert, the Internet is your friend. It's how you find your masturbation material and make friends who can advise you.

3. You learn how to hide things
The last thing you want anybody to see is the thousand or so pieces of soiled underwear you stole from women's dirty clothes at the laundromat. You learn how to pull up floorboards and hide the ziplock bags, you learn to cut and seal your mattress so that nobody would ever see the slit. It's kind of like being a reverse spy.

4. You learn how to live a double life
Nobody you know is going to be sympathetic to your desire to jack off to pictures of Asian women vomiting, so you keep that shit to yourself. You learn to pretend to be grossed out at the very idea should the subject for some reason come up in conversation, and you learn to plan your vacation to the Philippines quietly and without your coworkers knowing.

5. Self-control
So, no, your current girlfriend won't let you go down on her while she is on her period, but there will be others, what you don't want is for her to be so unhappy with you that she will call up your mother and your friends and tell them what you wanted. You learn to bottle up your desires fro the next one, until you find the right one.

Obama Acts White To Win
"Well, I don't know what that means," Keith drawled, "but I think that that's what they would say. Even though the black society would pull for him I still think that they think in the back of their mind that the only reason he is in [the general election] is because he talks, acts and carries himself as a Caucasian."



The Question
Well, first let us look at the question of whether or not he is a bigot, and this has to do with America's worshipful trust in the mainstream media as much as it does anything else. The only people defending him are fans, which in itself is a clue. People who enjoy the music of a certain performer are usually unwilling to admit any fault on the part of that performer unless the media goes out of its way to tarnish their image as with, say, Michael Jackson, or OJ Simpson, or, to a certain extent, Don Imus. "Fans", in the American sense, are the gullible people, dupes, you can ignore them. If there were pictures online of Toby Keith lynching a small black child and nobody on the big networks made a big issue of it, his fans wouldn't either.

So now you move onto his words. He wrote a song about lynching "gangsters". This song was not written in 1930, the word "gangster" does not, in 2008 refer to Bugsy Siegel or Al Capone and it has not for the past 30 years, it refers to black or Hispanic people who make up modern gangs. So Toby Keith wrote a song about lynching black and Hispanic people. You can try to nitpick your way around that argument, but what is the motivation to do so unless you are a fan defending your hero?

How Racist Stereotypes Work
The quotes about Barack Obama stem from white supremacist culture which finds itself in the position of having to deal with black people who do not fit the stereotype that the supremacists have set out for them. You have to understand that the people drawn to this school of thought are usually from very limited backgrounds, wherein knowledge and understanding are not prized. They know very little of other races beyond what they can find in their own small town, they don't read or go out of their way to understand anything. They are hicks and rubes who will believe the first person who shows them some individual attention. When faced with the idea of educated, articulate black people (not like the ones from their little Mississippi shit-town) they panic, it does not make sense, they need an argument to make it make sense. The argument is that these are black people imitating white people. So basically what you have is this: If black people are illiterate and poor and completely unambitious, you say there is your proof that they are worthless and stupid, dead weight to society, if they get an education, and stay out of trouble you say that there is an example of an ape trying to walk like a man. There you go, you have both bases covered. No matter what they do they will always be less than you. The alternate argument is that it's his "white blood" that makes him any good, but this winds up biting the racist in the ass since it still gives black people credit and makes them at least partly human.

The thing about white supremacist doctrine is that it's not constructed by thoughtful men to make sense, it's constructed by rabble-rousers to get people angry and to give simpleminded people concepts with which to articulate their bitterness. Hate is simply bitterness with an object, with something to blame. Even if it were true, the case has not been made, because nobody wants to make the case, they are interested only in expressing bitterness.

The Interesting Part
Whether or not Toby Keith has the right to express his desire to kill minorities is one question, and I don't really care about the answer. What is interesting here is that the society and it's media now in the process of promoting him have this view of themselves as being above racism. They love to show white supremacy in a bad light and are universally indignant when dealing with America's racist history but here we have a man on national TV singing about lynching minorities. I think that is fascinating.

Fat People
More meat, or more grease, depending on how you decide to you use the product, either way it's more. It could be argued that if your quality of life isn't high due to the fact that you are fat, then it would be better if you served as nutrition for poorer skinnier people. Also, why should one person have an excess of body-fat while other people starve? It seems to me that America's hunger problem could be solved simply by using the top 1% of fat people to feed the bottom 10% of the hungry.

Supposedly Tasty
In the words of Daniel Rakowitz: "I killed her and boiled her head," he told a friend, "Then I made soup out of her brains. It tasted pretty good." There is also this guy here who is pretty graphic. Apparently people are delicious, if not delicious then at least edible. Edible enough that if it comes down to a choice between eating somebody or starving, your decision should be pretty clear.

Lots of Useless People
Dead weight. Seriously, you could kill half of the people on the planet and the only difference would be the opening of a few more dead-end jobs and an increased availability of tiny, depressing apartments, and that's in the First World. You could argue that if somebody is being paid a wage to do something that they are not "useless", but the fact is that if they die then the remainder will be paid a better wage due to the fact that the working-poor will be scarcer than before. You will have fewer poor people, and the ones that remain will be well fed and better-paid. How is that not a win-win?

Logical
People are made of meat, meat is nutritious. People die, leaving the meat behind, which is still edible. If you can rid the world of the cultural issues with eating human flesh, you could rid the world of hunger.

1. That you won't die today
All the chicks who will die in car accidents later on today have no idea that they won't get home to have dinner, that some guy in a morgue will cut their bras off and stare at their tits for a few seconds before covering them up. The guys who think they will do something really cool this Sunday don't know that they should have done it last Sunday and that they will never see another weekend. It would be a fantastic coincidence if you, the reader were one of these people, so be sure to have your next of kin leave me a comment if you get crushed by a semi this afternoon.

2. That you have rights
The only "rights" you have are the rights that the government allows you to have. Basically, you are a tenant, a sharecropper, and your landlord-bosses have no respect for you. You live according to their wishes. "Freedom" and the "power of the people" are illusions created to pacify you. Of course, you will dismiss me because your comfort (the most important thing in the world to you) is threatened by it.

3. That your government/media would never lie
Most people simply watch and obey what they see on TV, they never think twice about it. The logic is that they would be sued if it was not true, or somebody on some other network would raise a stink, therefore it must be true. Everybody else believes it, everybody can't be wrong. People are raised to trust the powers that be the way they are raised to trust their parents. They think that the police are there to protect them because that's what they should be doing.

4. That you are not a moron
There are a lot of stupid people around. You know some of them. Yet, nobody is willing to admit that they don't know what the fuck they are talking about and that their understanding of life is just wrong. Lots of people are in denial, and odds are greatly in favor of you being one of them. Seriously you need to do some serious analysis of your views and listen to the people who disagree with you more. Try to be honest and figure out if they could possibly be right.

5. That nobody means you harm
Maybe you deserve an ass-kicking, maybe everybody should mean you harm. You assume goodwill on the part of everybody you are bound to be wrong. Maybe you remind somebody of somebody else that they really, truly hate, maybe your voice is really annoying and some guy somewhere has had a bad year and as he listens to you he can imagine cleaving your skull with a hatchet or shooting you in the gut and watching you squirm and plead.
