Human Beings and Those Other Things

Excerpt from a Science Fiction novel of Dystopian Realism by Samael Gyre —

China is now creating non-persons. Textbook George Orwell, 1984, tactics. They are expunging media presence and all other references to anyone of whom they disapprove. This means anyone popular or with savvy wealth investments.

Each generation of fascists has the same basic grunt of negation, while they use whatever modern technology they can to make their red-faced bowel-obstruction everyone else’s oppression.

China’s doing it, North Korea, and many other places. Soon the USA will do it, too, if the GOP Taliban gains control, as they plan to do.

Minority rule is just another mask worn by fascism.

Megalomaniac psychopaths in positions of power are the main flaw in hoping humanity will survive. Because human beings don’t weed them out and stop them when they crop up, they continue to crush anything human or humane, for their own power and sadistic thrills.

We pretend they’re normal, or human, or to be trusted. We pretend they’re okay in our government or any position of power. We let them control our children in schools, even. 

Despite endless oppression and predatory exploitation witnessed through history at the hands of these things, human beings continue allowing them to walk among us doing endless fatal harm.

This must cease. They won’t stop. They must be stopped. We human beings must stop them. Identifying the majority of them is relatively easy. Isolating them once identified from society, particularly from wielding power over anyone at any level in any way, is the next step. 

Psychopaths are born flawed. They lack humanity. They’re without certain traits and characteristics because of inner, physical damage stemming from before birth. Often they’re also trained by psychopathic parents or institutions to become monsters. Ultra-rich dynastic wanna-be families do this. Law and business schools, influenced by corporate-think, which is psychopathic by nature and rewards psychopathic behavior above all else, train others to exploit laws and ignore ethics. 

All this can be changed if we but recognize it and take measures. Any systematic approach to diminish psychopathic and sociopathic behavior, and to identify and root out those types from society, is going to pay dividends to benefit everyone. 

Recognizing psychopaths as the worst enemy of mankind is the first step and it’s not a difficult perception to attain, once we look at their effect through history, at what they always do. How they always act in their own interests at the expense of others. How they are transactional and zero-sum thinkers. How they impose commodity and monetizing as normal approaches to life. How they only exploit, always for their own good and always at someone else’s expense.

Nothing is ever their fault. They believe, which means they pretend, they are the smartest and best and most entitled. They buy into their own megalomania. They aggrandize themselves and view all else, people and things, the world itself, as mere backdrop for their greatness, their heroic life story.

It is mental illness manifesting at various levels and varying intensities that is destroying the ecology needed for humanity to continue existing. This is an existential crisis never before faced in as dire a way and for human beings to ignore their enemy and to refuse to fight against it is suicide.

Wake up and take steps to eliminate the psychopaths. It can be done. Anthropological and sociological research tells us it’s been done before, perhaps thrice. This time, given population density and the span of technology over all lives, this time it’s the last chance we have of slipping through the bottleneck of Mass Extinction Event one more time. 

Already a quarter to a third of us seem to support fascism, having been duped by the squealing of big lies told in the guise of populism.

We human beings must act fast.

This is fact but not expected to make any kind of difference. Been nice knowing you, Earth. You were beautiful once.
