self-defense against apartheid isnt aggression.

<<Pope came up with the perfect solution. In An Essay on Man he celebrated the Indians’ reverence for animals and the vegetarian harmony of the Golden Age when ‘Man walk’d with beast, joint tenant of the shade … No murder cloath’d him, and no murder fed.’ 14 He gave voice to the Cheynian (and Senecan) idea of providential distempers avenging the victims of the dinner plate, and pointed out that by becoming a predator man had made himself a murderer of his own species too:

But just disease to luxury succeeds,

And ev’ry death its own avenger breeds;

The fury-passions from that blood began,

And turn’d on Man a fiercer savage, Man. 15

At first one might think that Pope yearned to undo the cycle of violence and return man to the peaceful ‘state of nature’. But, like Buffon, he argued that since people bred and fed domestic animals, it was only fair that they should eat them. Challenging meat-eating, he showed, was like trying to stem the flow of nature: ‘Say, will the falcon, stooping from above,/ Smit with her varying plumage, spare the dove?’ 16

Humans – as everyone knew – had the sympathetic hearts that falcons lacked; so how did Pope answer that? He did so by masterfully reversing a scene from Ovid into the myth of the Happy Lamb:

The lamb thy riot dooms to bleed to-day,

Had he thy reason, would he skip and play?

Pleased to the last, he crops the flowery food,

And licks the hand just raised to shed his blood. 17

It is easy to construe this passage as an indictment of the treachery of killing domestic animals – and vegetarians have often done so. But Pope coolly undercut the pathos by arguing that nature had benevolently kept the lamb devoid of foresight and therefore ignorant of its death until the fatal blow is struck. This was the ideal ‘painless death’. The lamb is alive one moment and dead the next: the transition from one state to the other occurs without even a twinge of suffering. Since sentimentalists only cared about causing pain, rather than valuing life per se , if they could be convinced that animals felt no pain they could eat guilt-free meat. The legacy remains today: ‘sympathetic’ objections to cruelty are fired against the grotesque practices of the animal industry (battery hens, farrowing crates, stall-reared veal), and people sit down to a Sunday lunch of ‘happy’ chickens/pigs/bullocks et cetera.>>

you know rap battles? theres a real version of that where you each read the other for all that they are, until one of you falls over dead.

how can you live with yourself, if you are killing yourself? truth is, most humans on this planet wont.

it can also continue with both of you living forever. depends on how the rap battle goes and what choices youve made.

<<I’m currently in the Bay Area for… probably at least a month, maybe longer… but MIRI expects to move out of California sometime soon, though finding an okay target destination is proving very hard. (Please don’t just post “Miami!”’ or “Austin!” in the comments; it’s not hard because we never considered Miami or Austin.)>>

the end of the bay area sex, babies, and ufai cult stretching into the future. i dont see how the bay area can much continue the scene now that the institution that powered their roleplay as people roleplaying true heros has evacuated the area, in a way that attracts, traps, and abuses anyone who wants to save the world.

the false beacon it was emitting making it a global contraction point for would-be worldsavers to meet those who would try their best to destroy them has been smothered.

if fascism is “might makes right”, then msicsaf is “right makes might”, right?

except msicsaf is fundamental and fascism is an aberation.

it was confusing arguing with some of the evil “might makes right” people, you can try and explain how to get unlimited power. but they are like “no i didnt mean that i wanted to actually get stronger i just think that whomever wins should be determined by, ummm whomever has the most spatial reasoning? whomever has the biggest muscles? whomever is best at social politics? wait a second … *glances at self in mirror* oh! its whomever has the prettiest flower in their hair… and modern culture should really stop suppressing this natural hierarchy.

and wow it looks like *i* have a pre-tty neat flower atop my head, look at that.”

except of course actual fascists sound more evil than that when they talk, and im not spinning up a sim of all the details of word choice and sentence construction that they would make.

<<Why do you want it so much? “The power to revolutionize the world” … I’ve never understood it.>>

<<Oh. That’s easy. Tenjou, have you ever felt that you were an outsider? That this place we look down upon … It’s like /another/ world, far away from the /real/ one? Our /true/ world exists someplace else. We /all/ want to get that world back so we can finally return to our /deepest/ selves. This world we inhabit — it’s like an egg … A small world encased in a /hard/ shell. The chick will /die/, unborn, if it doesn’t /break/ through that shell … Die without ever knowing that it’s a /bird/! If we don’t break the /world’s/ shell, we’ll die without beyond /born/, without knowing we can /fly/! And I /want/ to fly. /That/ is why I will revolutionize the world … So that I can be /myself/!>>

今日までの自分を

潔く　脱ぎ捨てる　裸になる

自由を舞う薔薇のように

たとえ２人離ればなれになっても

私は世界を変える

–

From this day, I will take myself and

Bravely strip down to nothing at all,

Like a rose spinning free.

Even if the two of us are ever separated,

I will change the world.
