SurrealPolitiks S01E019 – To Give It All – Part 01

As one who has dedicated his life to media and activism for over a decade, I am not infrequently asked, in a variety of contexts “How can I do more?” for whatever cause it is the questioner may find him or herself involved in. There is of course no singular answer to such a question. To begin, “more” is a relative term, and so, what counts as “more” depends very much on what one is doing in the moment. Then there are the specifics of the cause at issue, the circumstances of the moment, questions of geography, the choices one has made to date, and ultimately, one’s innate capacity. But I will today give you the briefest of crash courses in how one goes about giving the maximum they can. To streamline one’s life in such a way that as little as possible may interfere with the passions. I am calling this Part 1 because we cannot possibly attempt to cover it all in a single two hour recording, and will need to revisit this again, but I hope to give you some information that you may find useful in other aspects of your life as well. Before I do, prudence demands I say the following. You should almost certainly not take this advice, at least not in whole. You do not want to give your all to your cause, whatever your cause may be. No matter how noble, no matter how just, full time activism is, above all, pathological behavior. Near everyone who attempts this is less excited about their cause than they are unhappy with their own life. In the likely event this is the case for you, then you should first and foremost understand that activism will not solve your problem. It will surely make it worse. The primary reason our politics are so damaged today is far simpler and less controversial than most would like to believe. It is because unhappy people are trying to make the world conform to their vision, and this is because they are psychologically incapable of coping with the realities which they themselves are met with. They are miserable, and they think to themselves that they can be happy if other people do as they wish, and so they seek control of the government to bring this about through its coercive powers. You see the results of this every day, and they are not admirable. This pathology figures most prominently in the LGBTP phenomenon, wherein sick men dress up like women and pervert children as their only means of reproduction. They meet the appropriate disapproval of the parents, and others, and they seek to wield the force of the State against those who would stop their predatory conduct. You see it also in various ethnocentric movements, wherein a given ethnic group is blamed for the problems of another, and it almost goes without saying that violence is the terminus of this pathology. They seek to wield the force of the State as the ultimate weapon against the targets of their ethnic animus, almost invariably with genocidal aims. You see it emerge in what is called class warfare, wherein elites fend off competition from the middle class, crushing them, growing the ranks of the poor, and the poor, now in such numbers and endowed with the capacities of the former middle classes, see the elites, with some merit, as the barrier to their upward mobility. By ballot or bullets, they grab the reigns of the State, liquidate the class enemy, and find themselves as a body without a brain. All of the above are examples of people blaming others for their problems, their failures, and their pathologies. And you will be no
