Chicken and Egg, propaganda and education.

There are those who feel the need to rule and those who are happy to follow. Half are shepherds, the rest, sheep. The sheep are enlisted by shepherds (by force and deception, by fear and religion, by democracy and race) in order to satisfy their megalomania.

The Left and Right have different views on how to con the masses, but they both have the same goal: Power - the need to be obeyed. There is no effective difference between Hitler and Stalin, so why do Lefties and RWDBs purport to have a preference?

If you believe that thieves should be punished, then how can you defend capitalism? If you believe that murder is wrong, why are you ignoring helicopter gunships and cluster bombs in crowded civilian streets?

Altruism is no longer considered political capital, so there is no longer any point in Left/Right, Good/Evil, Superior/Inferior, Love/Hate terminology. You get the picture - it's really just "us" and "them", the tribes we are born into, the propaganda we've learned.

As a hippy I instinctively distrust all authority, by some definitions I'm an anarchist. I'm not overly misanthropic because I believe that Chas Darwin was on to something: All nature is a bastard and we, as animals, are merely a top predator and not currently extinct.
