Fascism

Wanting to know what it meant this is what I found.

More than a class system, fascism specifically targets, dehumanizes and aims to destroy those it deems undesirable.


The most notable characteristic of a fascist is their labelling, presumption, separation and persecution or denial of equality to a specific person or segment of the population founded from superficial qualities (of the fascist) based upon another’s personal gait, assets and or belief systems.

Simply stated, a fascist considers themselves to be superior to another based upon race, creed, origin or personality.
Fascism can be implied and held up by consensual conspiracy, (people know what they are doing is wrong but do nothing to stop it or change it). Through lack of action; they give consent.

General characteristics of a fascist:

Reactionary: makes assumptions and beliefs, and exhibits attitudes, based upon current circumstances rather than creating ways to prevent problems; piles lies and misnomers on top of more lies until the truth becomes indistinguishable, revised or forgotten.
Prejudiced: Two or more tiered systems of thought (which are frequently contradictory), varying based upon superficial recurring thoughts or beliefs.
Imperialist: elements of finance capital: Extending ones social and material goods status by acquiring and consuming these goods by acquisition and domination over allies.

Once each person realizes the complete extent he/she is being manipulated, anger presents itself. Rather than let the anger rule emotions and set you up for further emotional blackmail, step back. Hang on to your power by not letting emotions lead reason. We all operate under the idea of self-preservation whether it is a person, country or industry. Use this common ground to your advantage. As a nation and a people it is our job to stop manipulation once we recognize it by standing together and not allowing the bullying, defamation and ridicule to perpetuate hate and the agendas of others. Consider what is happening from an analytical perspective:

Manipulators are using the tools available to promote their interests.

Realize this simple truth and there is no room for hatred. Optimizing the tools available, though not ethical is responsible on their part. They are putting their own interests first and accomplishing what they want to accomplish. They are savvy enough to use us. The irony is it is with our blessings we are being deceived. Many of the activities we are engaged in are directly against everything this entity stands for as set out in our personality traits and/or ethics. More importantly, what they may be doing goes against everything that you stand for. The truth is, we let it happen. We let ourselves be manipulated by not auditing activities and through self-censorship.

Solution: take the tools away.

"Hi. It's me. I know you're out there. I can feel you now. I imagine you can also feel me. You won't have to search for me anymore. I'm done running. Done hiding. Whether I'm done fighting, I suppose, is up to you. I believe deep down, we both want this world to change. I believe that the Matrix can remain our cage or it can become our chrysalis that's what you helped me to understand. That to be truly free, truly free, you cannot change your cage. You have to change yourself. When I used to look out at this world, all I could see was its edges, its boundaries, its leaders and laws. But now, I see another world. A different world where all things are possible. A world of hope. Of peace. I can't tell you how to get there, but I know if you can free your mind, you'll find the way."

Perfectness

Spinoza argued that there is an idea of perfect existence in our mind. This idea cannot be separated from a real perfect being. "Because we are not perfect the cause of this idea must be God".

There are things in this world that bring us closer to the feeling of perfectness. In my mind, this can be achieved through self actualisation. I think one fo the most facilitating ways of growing is to interact with other persons, as they are continually exerting forces and you are continuously responding to changes.

The energy from another being can combine with our growth and motivation to create a feeling that is further progressed, and hence; growth-promoting, in both.

The revelation is that each attempts to achieve the combined state when they are alone. As this happens, the combined state advances as the individual states advance; because the combination of the two energies are larger as one together. So the path continues ever progressing.

Preface to transcendence

This is the place for stripping oneself bare, of confrontation and carnage, a place where my mind can be set free by the written word while still being bound by it. It is a place to link ideas through time and reflect. Look at the rhizomatics of this place.

My previous disinterest in blogs has changed because I love recording and learning from it. Recording life, keeping something there that cannot be destroyed, forgotten, or misplaced. My limited brain needs reminders. Somethings can be written here that were intended to be spoken eventually, but to whom and when I do not know.

I want to write. I have been thinking about the universe and also about who I will meet throughout life. I have been thinking about what I will discover that I have no idea about right at this very moment. I might end up madly in love with a blind man and that wouldnt matter so long as we could converse. I might love a woman, although my biological brain wouldnt enable it to come to full fruition as I am fairly certain I am bound by heterosexuality in my makeup. I have been thinking at an accellerated rate and I wonder if that is like altitude sickness when your brain cant get enough oxygen. I feel lightheaded and wanting, always, to share these experiences. In lieu of actually finding the other, this writing serves to explore the feelings an thoughts ina timeline so that i may look back on it one day and reflect (hopefully) on how I have grown.
