There’s a whole set of attitudes that are being phased out. A way of looking at the world. Which is to say: our attitude! Our way of looking at the world!
We’re the old breed, the deficient breed. People like us shouldn’t be. We’ll phase ourselves out – that’s the plan. They’ll reduce us to suicide. Or alcoholism.
Their plans are deep. We’re being nudged into self-destruction. It’s cunning. We’re being phased out. We have no place in the new order.
Self-elimination: that’s what they want. For us to kill ourselves, saving them the trouble. Auto-elimination … Auto-murder …
People like us … will not be required. And we see it! We understand it! We’re persuaded!
Our kind! The old kind! The not-with-the-new-reality kind!
Clear us out! Get rid of us! Our attitude is wrong. It’s got to be bred out of the race …
They can make us feel these things. They can play us. They’re cunning. It’s cunning – the whole system.
It’s so clever. The way they turn strength upon itself. Is that what we have: strength? They make strength commit suicide. They turn reason against itself. What brilliance!
Who thought of this? Who came up with it? What criminal mastermind? So subtle … So devious …
Some nudge unit … Some behavioural psychologist …
How easily we’re played! How readily are our buttons pushed!
herded! Shepherded! Corralled! Kettled! Forced into a corner!
It’s easy for them. They don’t need gulags anymore. They don’t need to lock us up in prison. They’ll just persuade us gently, gently, to … see ourselves as the problem. To blame ourselves.
So that it’s not the world that’s at fault. Not this world! And not the evil of this world! And not the demonism of the world!
They’ll awaken our internal demons. Our internal division. Turn us against ourselves. Make us declare war on ourselves.
Our self harm. Our automutilation. We’ll do it to ourselves. That’s the genius. No need to send in the police. The troops. No need to lock us up, No need to monitor us, even.
Sow the seeds of self-destruction … Create the conditions for the seeds to grow.
