Reply #120: Because like "the alien", they've implanted themselves in to us [View All]

Inside your belly is fundy spawn, as it is a state of mind, that life
needs to be fixed, improved, bettered; that something need be done and
that you're life has a purpose to be part of this.

You can divorce it, and say that you'll improve and better the opposition
like here on DU, but still, the implant is active. Rejecting the
fundies and their neocolonial prodestant ethics is a deep phenomena,
as in our very culture of "arbeit mach frei", we are trained to do
good works, to be good christian soldiers and by our works become closer
to god.

Yet, what is this work? It is that of the slave making the plantation
clean and profitable, that it might employ more slaves. Then, we can
be "grumbling" slaves, angry ones, but nevertheless, there is a trace
of slavery as long as we are taxed and burdened with this white man's
military empire.

So then, perhaps meeting the anger, is accepting that we are much more
closely indoctrinated, at deeper levels, from propaganda since birth,
to live in a fundie-society, one we support with every tax dollar,
and the chains of the slavers cannot be cut off, except in the deepest
recesses of one's heart.

There, the cry for freedom is louder than ever, a cry that can only
be satisfied by accepting slavery as our lot, and seeing all of the
acts of our lives as the folly of fixing unbroken life and legislating
what is already there in our hearts.

Then we make a bonfire and in to it cast our resume, all our
relationships based on enslavement, our victories as great slaves and
our wishes to be enslaved at a better salary, in a better flat, with
a private jet... but slaves. And as we stand immolated in the
fire of egotism, without action, without intent, silent in the
light, is freedom present without effort and without self.
