Henry Kissinger — 'Military men are just dumb, stupid animals to be used as pawns in foreign policy.'
Only a very small percentage of people could accept a belief like that.
Would I?
Well, I eat meat made from animals who are bred and enslaved for that purpose, and I have a dog. I've killed spiders and kicked over anthills. We're all involved in some pretty ruthless STS activity at some level or another.
Part of that whole paradigm doesn't vibe with me, mainly because I've been sadistically tortured by STS people who view me as some sort dog to be housebroken, and who view humans as beings to be conquered through trauma, psychology, and physical and astral implantation.
They mistook me as someone who was weak... and maybe most people are, but a few have a light of individuality burning within them that will never burn out no matter what it's threatened or "punished" or bribed or rewarded with.
I have to admit that I have a vague preference for everyone being free, just because that's so much more efficient, and I myself have been on the wrong end of STS a lot of the time, but I'm somewhat indifferent. I'm too jaded and in pain to focus on anything other than developing myself. It'd be nice if the world was perfect, but I'm not trying to drag the whole sinking cruise ship up above the water; I'm just trying to get to shore.
