Dominance Games / Politics
Our measly everyday incentives to be part of our measly everyday universe, system of laws, grievances, systems of crime and punishment, of behavior modifications, of carrots and sticks, truths too dirty to accept and appreciate, fears too deep to delve into , players and posts too intrenched to move.
What are our measly everyday incentives to be part of a long line of custom and practice, intimidations and rewards, false image and true belief, incentives to hate, incentives to gather around the tribal camp fire?
What are our measly everyday incentives to be of the grand melting pot that is the legend and rapture of a culture that preys upon divergence, mines diversity, wishes no inbreeding, feels for the loss of pride in an American nation?
What are our measly incentives to be part of a tomorrow that promises no reward, less definition, that promises serfdom and boots upon the neck, glorious, pompous usurpers and destroyers of law, of sovereignty?
What are our measly everyday incentives to be part of it all, the pageantry, the show, the showcase, the fury, the storms, the songs, the sirens? What are our measly everyday incentives to be part of the world around us as it floats and goes its merry way? What are our incentives to survive and act and move and fold? Other than bodily survival, fear, loss of identity, loss of compass, fear of chaos, fear of self, emptiness of choice, desperation in hearts of hearts. The grand hammer makes for good incentive.
The fawners, the owners, the players, the breakers, the slayers, the smart have no such incentives. Citizens of their mobility, they are, citizens of their freedom from want, freedom from jurisdiction. The gods they cherish are the gods of insulation, access to force, power vacuum, power, flunkies , hired muscle. Bless the basis of their place and position. Rules are for those stuck under the umbrellas of fantasies.
Incentives? Who’s gonna make ’em?

Dominance Games / Politics: Keep the club. Waste the thought. Fine minds are the illusions of the soft.

That there is no such thing as a fine mind that is unable to thrash out the complexities of issues in such a way that there is gleaned an understanding of an opposing point of view and the logical structure and world view upon which it may rest is undeniable.
That there is no such thing as a fine mind that is shut off so completely from the human experience that it sees only the pittance of the mock trials and emotions which make up the day of the dim is also undeniable.
That there is no such thing as a fine mind that may wallow in the simplicities of fallacy and the inaccuracies of illogical and false premise or unexamined premise is in itself a tautological statement.
That there is no such thing as a fine mind resting in the breeding grounds of political speech is an issue, a statement upon which few will land. Intelligence is a valued thing and smarts is what we all are sure of in our own very selves. We are smart enough to understand the world and its challenges…understand those what are with us and those what are agin’ us. We are savvy enough to see the hell cats at the door and the rats nipping at our heels.
We see the provocateurs, the subversives, the self righteous, the aggrieved, the aggressive, the self important and the rock solid. We see the whole menagerie of fools. We see through our grand and gloried prisms the dangled baits of entertainment high and visceral pleasures low so that we can have always some use for the rotten rotten that confronts us.
We see what we need to see and we need to see what we see and smarts don’t mean a good g-d damn. Keep the club. Waste the thought. Praise the kickers and seek the bit of the spoils. Fine minds are the illusions of the soft. That’s all there is.
