We live in a society presently governed by anarchic advertising and mass-hypnosis. Cynical is called-for.

Here, I have a proposal for you:

Imagine a world government wherein the killing, torture, and imprisonment of people is illegal, as the core clause of the state. In this state, the core clause does not permit the interests of the state over those of the individual; the state exists to support an individual.

Imagine a political party which comes to power through the co-option of the public sphere to support the above goals, while preaching that this party alone is capable of bringing about the revolution. Imagine a single leader which is the beating heart.

Imagine this party preaching that the global economy must be reverse-engineered to adhere to the above-mentioned goal. Imagine that technical renaissance is trumpeted.

Imagine this totalitarian state and its transparent principles. Transparent enough to call itself totalitarian.

Now imagine the orange flag flying on the marble arch on a clear day.

Put words in their hands.

Well, we all owe an abusive person a chance at rehabilitation. Speaking rationally, morally, and ethically.
This kind of stuff does happen and really needs more attention.
None of this is going to get any easier until widespread recognition of the next objective of humanity as permanently ending human killing and torture gains universal or universally-implementable acceptance.
Redemption and rehabilitation must be the aim of universal law, not vengeance.

I don't feel loneliness in my gut; I feel it in my head.

Galvanized. Wonder how many alarms that word sets off.

* This is your reminder that the total and permanent cessation of human killing and torture must be rapidly achieved.
