Don't ruin your beautiful soul to relate to an ugly society. There is no virtue in betraying yourself for the sake of belonging. You were not born to agree with everything around you. You were not born to dilute your beliefs, hide your perspective, or reshape your character until it becomes easier for others to accept. Be authentic. The world will survive your authenticity. Make sure your authenticity survives the world.
Amazon resorting to deleting negative reviews of Rings of Power on IMDB just cause they own it is super fucking humiliating for them but also demonstrates the problem that if like 4 companies own most of the internet that means they own both the media and all the sites that critique said media and you can say goodbye to any reliable consumer reviews of products on the internet
Do you ever think about how Tolkien’s vision of the greatest evil in the universe was something he referred to as “The Machine” which was his way of talking about accelerated industrialism and mass surveillance and he wrote multiple books where the main villains were a dragon who sits on a huge pile of treasure that he never intends to use but incinerates anyone who comes near it, a man in a giant tower who’s wrecking the environment with his factories, and an evil being who uses what’s essentially a listening device to control the citizens of middle earth. And now Amazon is making a Tolkien show. Do you ever think about that.
“Big Pharma needs sick people to prosper. Patients, not healthy people, are their customers. If everybody was cured of a particular illness or disease, pharmaceutical companies would lose 100% of their profits on the products they sell for that ailment. What all this means is because modern medicine is so heavily intertwined with the financial profits culture, it’s a sickness industry more than it is a health industry.”
“We are fast approaching the stage of the ultimate inversion: the stage where the government is free to do anything it pleases, while the citizens may act only by permission; which is the stage of the darkest periods of human history, the stage of rule by brute force.” - Ayn Rand
“To conquer a nation, first disarm its citizens.” ~ Adolf Hitler
The mask removes the ego. I don’t need my face in pictures, I do not need recognition, acclaim or praised. I do what I do for the good of others, my children and future generations to come.
“When they lose their sense of awe, people turn to religion.
When they no longer trust themselves, they begin to depend upon authority.”

Oh Great Spirit, help me always to remember the peace that may be found in silence. - Cherokee prayer.

Every single empire in its official discourse has said that it is not like all the others, that its circumstances are special, that it has a mission to enlighten, civilize, bring order and democracy, and that it uses force only as a last resort. And, sadder still, there always is a chorus of willing intellectuals to say calming words about benign or altruistic empires, as if one shouldn’t trust the evidence of one’s eyes watching the destruction and the misery and death brought by the latest mission to civilize others countries through conquest.
