The Evil of Complacency
I’m really in a Bill mood today, so here: a clip to warm you all up. Needless to say (I think) Bill does a wonderful job of parodying a group of people who I certainly think should be sterilized permanently. Now, as amusing as that clip is, I’m more interested in addressing some more US Government corruption and the like. Coincidentally enough, Bill liked addressing some of these things too. For instance, here’s Bill doing his routine on John Kennedy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11Fl9ZVJ7B8
There’s also one of his last concerts: http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=bill+hicks+last+show&emb=0&aq=f#
‘People who hate people, come together! – Will there be people there? – Yeah! – Uh, I can’t make it then…’ Ah yes.
As entertaining as he was, however, it is the truth he addressed which makes the most lasting impact. He talked about Waco when it was going on, he talked about Kennedy. Indeed, the government does seem to be getting sloppy. From Ruby Ridge and Waco to using the same people to get rid of the Oklahoma City bombing debris and clear out the world trade centers within a few weeks of their collapse — these people must be counting on the overall stupidity and short-sightedness of the common people.
I am often accused of being a pessimist, of being a cynic, cold, callous, even cruel. These pointlessly attributed labels are something I tire of. It is not pessimism or even cynicism to be aware of reality and to address things bluntly and honestly. In fact, from a logical standpoint, I fail to see why people cannot comprehend that those doing the most harm to the overall state of humanity are the common people who acquiesce to criminals and allow everyone to run around doing whatever they please under the guise of freedom.
Those who ignore, support, or even condone horrendous acts of evil on the grounds that ‘man is inherently (evil, self-centered, flawed, etc.)’ or that ‘warfare is inherent to mankind’ are just as responsible for the crimes committed against humanity as the actual perpetrators of those crimes are. It is a fact that were it not for the criminal level of complacency which exists on the part of the common people, the degenerate, parasitic criminals who wreak so much havoc on mankind would not be allowed to do so.
Still, most everyone seems obsessed with this idea of being friendly to everyone involved, not hurting anyone’s feelings or offending anyone. They say that you must ‘respect’ others beliefs, or at least respect their ‘right’ to believe whatever they want. That is a horrible, insidious lie which should be addressed in the cold light of day. The fact is, it is not being respectful to a person’s true humanity to complacently allow them to deceive themselves and lie about reality and truth.
Furthermore, this idea that one should ‘live and let live’, or in other words that one should not interfere with anyone else believing whatsoever they choose is absolute nonsense, and incredibly detrimental to the overall prosperity of mankind. Whether people choose to face up to it or not, it is patently clear and incontestable that when a human being chooses to believe in delusional nonsense, when a human being chooses to live in a degenerate fashion, with no regard for the Universal laws which govern us all, it is a given that the person will inevitably harm others.
It is impossible to break the laws of the Universe and -not- as a result infringe negatively upon the lives of others. It’s just that simple. You cannot delude yourself about reality and live according to false ideas and false doctrines without negatively impacting the lives of other human beings.
So, I’m tired of this asinine, feel-good philosophy of never calling anyone on their bullshit because one feels too personally compromised to be in a position to chastise others. People make mistakes. It is part of life. Some people admit their mistakes and seek to learn from them, but most people seem more interested in finding ways to justify why they were right all along.
If it seems that I harp on certain points… well, I probably do. Consider it a sign that most people have yet to pay attention, and these are important matters to which attention should be paid.
You know, I almost feel happy for Bill that he died. For how much he hated Bush version 1, our second version would have made him absolutely miserable.
