Intro:
The following is two separate pieces I wrote stitched together ..
Just a brief thought here today, partly inspired by my last post. I just thought I would touch on this whole concept of conspiracies, and the manner in which so many people dismiss things so easily and without thought by simply labelling it as a conspiracy.
Firstly: seriously, grow up people, nobody ever has or ever will have the ability to dismiss something on this basis, and it is absurd to argue otherwise … you’re essentially claiming that the notion that 2 or more people conspired to do something immediately and always means the story cannot be true, because if you were not arguing this, then what is the difference between those conspiracies you believe in and those you don’t?
I would bet money, that if such a person was ever honest enough to actually give their other reason for accepting one conspiracy while dismissing another, in many cases, their reason would be no better than the assertion that all conspiracies can be dismissed … it would be equally baseless, maybe not always, but a great deal of the time.
Definitions (conspiracy: to conspire):
So what does the word actually mean? Well, we pretty much already provided that definition: when 2 or more people organise to achieve an objective. That’s all it is, it doesn’t even need to be covert or secret, to conspire only means that you planned doing something together to achieve an objective, so you cannot possibly be arguing against that.
So, more specifically, though people never say it in this detail, what they really mean is that they doubt the idea of wealthy powerful people with nefarious intentions fund conspiratorial actions for various economic ideological military and political purposes … and you can see why people don’t make that more specific statement, because now you see it written, you see how obvious it is that this is a simple matter of historical fact that it happens.
Even if we were to limit the definition to include only those actions planned which can be classified as malicious by intent, kept in secret, then enacted covertly, and covered up … really, you’d have to be naive AF to suggest this wasn’t commonplace … do you really have no idea what has been going on in the world for all of recorded history?
Courage, Honesty, & The Truth:
So this is a short article because all I really wanted to say to you is this: have the courage both to be wrong and to admit when you are wrong, and if you really find that too uncomfortable, remember the words of the character Dr. Who from Series 9 Episode 8 The Zygon Inversion - which you can watch here:
The Doctor: And we're off! Fingers on buzzers! Are you feeling lucky? Are you ready to play the game? Who's going to be quickest? Who's going to be the luckiest?
Kate: This is not a game!
The Doctor: No, it's not a game, sweetheart, and I mean that most sincerely.
Bonnie: Why are you doing this?
Kate: Yes, I'd like to know that too. You set this up -- why?
The Doctor: Because it's not a game, Kate. This is a scale model of war. Every war ever fought right there in front of you. Because it's always the same. When you fire that first shot, no matter how right you feel, you have no idea who's going to die. You don't know who's children are going to scream and burn. How many hearts will be broken! How many lives shattered! How much blood will spill until everybody does what they're always going to have to do from the very beginning -- sit down and talk! Listen to me, listen. I just -- I just want you to think. Do you know what thinking is? It's just a fancy word for changing your mind.
Bonnie: I will not change my mind.
The Doctor: Then you will die stupid. Alternatively, you could step away from that box. You could walk right out of that door, and you could stand your revolution down.
I want you to really focus on that one statement I underlined “then you will die stupid” - this is where he really hits the nail on the head, because if you don’t even have the courage to find out whether or not your beliefs are true or false, and you attack people whom for all you know are trying to rescue you from your own brainwashing delusions and insanity, then surely, you will indeed die stupid.
Now, in the case of the special military operation in Ukraine, Russia understood this principle of sitting down and talking, while while Vladimir Putin says he felt disappointed that he did not start the SMO sooner, back in 2014/14 or even before that, to prevent the deaths of so many innocent people murdered by the Banderite Nazis and other extremists, who were armed funded trained and incited by the west to murder ethnic Russians, so that Wall Street could loot Ukraine and then loot the rest of mainland Russia.
So the talks began very early, and I am sure, with a sad heart, Putin Lavrov and others probably knew not only that the west would betray those agreements made, they knew they would “cop a lot of flak” (an Aussie idiom if you don’t know it, meaning the same as “take a lot of heat”) domestically from Russians about not starting earlier, being too gentle on the west, and trusting in the fascistic sociopaths of the west … not to mention the later deaths they may otherwise have been able to avoid.
But the fact is, they had to show the world an undeniable effort to solve the situation with diplomacy first, while continuing preparations in the background to deal with the likely inevitable war … they had to plan the entire thing in such a manner as to guarantee they could do more than just defend themselves, but to demilitarise the west in the process, and hopefully change the balance of power in the world towards the multi-polar agenda of the BRICS and related alliances.
Were westerners conspiring for decades to weaken and eventually loot Russia? Yes, this isn’t even debatable, it is openly admitted history even in the west … they may not publish it in the mainstream media, they may even contradict it in the mainstream media, but western academics have known for a long time the truth of what happened in with the invasions and wars from Napoleon through WWI & WWII (which were entirely engineered for the profit of western industrialists) … so if you think you have trouble dealing with the truth on some minor matter of personal embarrassment or inconvenience, imagine how hard it was for Putin and Lavrov to look at this historical truth, and what was happening in front of their eyes for decades, beginning in the Banderite regions of western Ukraine, spreading toward and corrupting central Ukraine, then heading from there to Donbass Lugansk and Crimea etc., in order to murder every last Russian the west’s proxies could find … how much pressure was on them to get every single detail just right, and no matter what they did, people were still going to die.
So if you cannot handle the minor embarrassment of being wrong from time to time, then stop having opinions you didn’t bother researching, stop thinking of “Googling it” as “research”, go find out what real research and study actually is (clue/tip: it has nothing to do with “trusted sources” or “experts” nor “authorities” and “official explanations” - it is about logic, argument, reasoning, evidence, and enough of all that to constitute a PROOF, and until you have a proof, you cannot know with 100% certainty if you are right or wrong). Do all this, seek out those who know how to prove you wrong (when it turns out that you are), and learn to deal with that irritation of being proven wrong, because they did you a favour, so thank them & be happy … it is that, or accept that Dr Who was right, and resign yourself to dying an idiot.
Conspirators get away with it because you’re too much of a coward to admit the truth even when it is staring you in the face … don’t be so piss-weak, you’re either better than this or you’re not, and if you’re not, what is the point of your life?
The next time someone calls you a conspiracy theorist for merely mentioning the demonstrable truth, don’t deny that you consider the conspiracy to be real, don’t validate the notion that conspiracies are for crazy people, because that is exactly what the people in power want, they want you to back down without any effort at all, and they want you to validate their narrative for them … so refute it, and the way you refute it is not by denying you believe a conspiracy, it is by arguing the case for the conspiracy and going on the attack by calling them brainwashed, naive, or a liar, and then finding out which of those is the truth, as they are the only valid options, and then attacking that specific cause more directly. Don’t let them get away with it so easily, just because you want to be accepted or avoid embarrassment … the consequences of failing to act are far too serious.
As I have often said to people, and you can quote me on this:
There is nothing they can threaten you with that is actually worse
than what they will do if you comply.
... and you may find it hard to believe this is the truth, perhaps because you are afraid of death or pain or social alienation or economic ruin or whatever … but the reality is that a world dominated by fascists until they finally cause our collective extinction, is definitely worse, not to mention the inevitable outcome of a globally unchallenged fascist power. These people are insane, and they cannot be trusted or followed, nor can you run anymore, you must contribute to dealing with them in whatever way you can, and I would suggest the first way you can begin doing this, is by stopping yourself from believing and validating their lies and narratives - ie: stop being their servant and mouthpiece.
Stupidity as Culture:
Here’s an example of the cathartic nature of this project.
I was just writing to one of the podcasters I listen to often, to let him know I was going to write a comedy parody based on his show, and to just check he was ok with it. I was pretty sure the answer would be yes, because he has replied to several of my past comments, and I figured he would remember me, and understand that it is a form of compliment, not to mention a professional courtesy to state my intentions before doing it, thus giving him an opportunity to reply and to voice any concerns (if he had any) thus also allowing me to adjust for those concerns (if he had any) … I would have thought this was standard practice of professional courtesy.
Now, I am pretty sure he will write and say “yeah that’s fine”, but while waiting, I saw a reply from someone else, some random stranger it had nothing to do with, and who for some reason, was incapable of seeing how stupid their own comment was before replying to my message to someone else.
Basically I got attacked for plagiarism, when quite clearly I was not talking about plagiarising his work but instead parodying it, and I even specifically stated that I was busy WRITING it … so if I am writing it, this automatically tells you it is my own work.
This is the world we live in folks, where the illiterate and semi-literate who cannot think, keep commenting on stuff with great confidence, blissfully unaware of the fact they are globally advertising their stupidity.
How did things get this way?
In some respects this is a good follow up from talking about conspiracies, because that stupidity in part does originate in cowardice - ie: if you are afraid of being seen as foolish you will likely become even more foolish than you were afraid of, because you will get stuck in old ideas, never learning, growing, evolving, nor truly understanding anything at all.
To learn anything, whether a physical skill or an intellectual understanding, it takes effort and risk - when learning a physical skill you could get hurt, or experience the pain and discomfort of exercise, and when learning intellectual things, you could become embarrassed by being proven wrong, and it takes an enormous amount of time to get past rote memorisation and actually start learning to contemplate deeply, and rigorously analyse things instead of just accepting them as true.
So not only do we find people being stupid out of cowardice, but it is also a consequence of intellectual laziness, and another cause is arrogance, when we feel we couldn’t possibly be wrong about what we believe and our interpretations, so we do not even listen to the contrary point of view, then argue against it without actually understanding what it is we are arguing against … all these things and many more lead to stupidity.
While writing this article a social media post came into my feed, a black and white image of white men with a gigantic pile of buffalo skulls in a pile the size of a small hill … which reminded me of the case I mentioned in an earlier video of the British destroying the coconut palm to control Islander peoples, and here they are in the Americas destroying the buffalo to control the indigenous tribes of North America. This constitutes evidence not only of the history of conspiracy as per my prior article, but also shows the history of stupidity.
Stupidity as Success:
There’s a phrase I coined a while ago to describe one of the examples of flawed reasoning which goes into all this and turns it into culture, and that is against the tendency for people to worship stupidity as success - but:
“Success at a stupid objective is still stupid”
- you’d think this would go without saying, but apparently not.
Funnily enough, while writing this article, I was watching an episode of HouseMD where Hugh Laurie’s character Dr Gregory House says to his team:
“What’s life (?) … without the ability to make stupid choices”
- now ok, fair point, but this is a different thing, and I am not sure I would call those choices stupid, more so foolish, but I agree in principle so long as we are just talking about things which only place ourselves at risk of harm. You have every right to go skydiving, it is dangerous, not so much stupid, but could be foolish in some cases … and I have been skydiving myself, and I loved it … they even jokingly sell t-shirts that say “I jumped out of a perfectly good aircraft at 11,000 feet”. But this is a different matter, having fun.
If by comparison your idea of having fun, is to invade another country, offering up other people’s lives as cannon fodder, causing the deaths of hundreds of thousands or millions, the suffering of many more, the loss of entire cultures, the destruction of infrastructure, the destruction and pollution of nature, the waste of resources and so on … then it doesn’t matter if you succeed, because success at a stupid objective is still stupid, and only a truly stupid person would have that objective in the first damn place.
Warfare does what?
- It expends vast amounts of resources - in fact the global military is something like the equivalent of the world’s 4th or 5th largest country, and that doesn’t even include all of that destruction and waste, just the resources you’re actually spending on it, nor does it include the cost of lost opportunity etc., including every idea expressed and all the follow on benefits of those ideas for the rest of time, which will never be pursued in the first place, because the person who had the idea was kept impoverished and unable to do anything other than fight for survival and a chance to take a breath;
- It destroys human life, and other animal life, plus plant life, and in the case of those human beings, if you think we never lost a great artist, a great writer, a great scientist, a great engineer, a great doctor, a great nurse, or any other great people, you’d be very much mistaken … which means we also lost every single good thing they would otherwise have done until the end of their days, we lost the things other people might have done had they retained the beneficial influence of this person directly or indirectly upon their lives, including many people who may never have met the deceased in question … we lose the beautiful natural views and scenery, which could take more than a century to fully recover in some cases;
- It creates anger and cause for vengeance, which flows on for many years after the end of the official conflict;
- It makes a world in which there are less resources to go around, therefore more pressure to gain a share of those resources remaining, thus more short cuts taken, thus more ecological and social damage as a result of people just doing what they have to do in order to survive … meanwhile, those idiots who thought they were “profiting” from this war, are using the term ‘profit’ in such a manner as to make it an oxymoron - ie: to profit is supposed to mean “nett gain” not just “cherry picked gain, measured by first ignoring any costs you can, or foisting them onto someone else, exaggerating your gains, and measuring all of it in the utterly unscientific ‘unit’ of currency” … so no, you didn’t profit, you’re just too stupid to know that you lost, and your insane perspective is validated by desperate people who want comfort in life - which is perfectly understandable in and of itself - so they suck up to and worship wealthy people, ignoring any crimes and failures of character, because they want a part of what you have … and that makes those people just as stupid as you;
- It also damages the both planet’s and society’s ability to replenish resources, and to repair the damage done to the replenishment mechanisms … so you’re wasting resources, destroying resources, destroying resource reserves, and debilitating mechanisms of resource replenishment, because you think this is what it means to ‘profit’? You’re an idiot.
In Conclusion:
We live in a stupid culture, run by stupid people, and the only way out is extreme effort and willingness to take risks, because past generations did nowhere near enough to fight it. My wish for you is that you find the courage to do what is right, to escape all this brainwashing, and the endurance to undergo that journey.
