Thoughts on the World Wars

Dear Reader,

I am an Actor currently studying the play 'Our Town' by Wilder Thornton. It takes place at the turn of the 20th century and turned me to thinking about the world wars. 

Through contemplation I have come to see that the wars acted as a sort of multi-national culture/ego death. The poor souls who came back from the fighting were no doubt changed from what they experienced, their old selves brutally executed just like their friends in the fields, except they were still alive. This complete disorientation allowed for a new way of thinking to be developed and imprinted in the mass mind through entertainment. This is classic brainwashing.

Charles Manson is a great example of this, raised in the American Penitentiary system, but refusing to accept the way they provided, he observed the technique of destroying someones ego and then imprinting a new system of belief upon them. Later in life he utilised what he had learned from the so called 'protectors', helping his followers dismantle their selves with the illusion of setting them free and free the most probably felt. Crucially however, he painted these fresh new canvases with a new God, himself. For example the group would take acid and he would sit in front of them like a guru while they tripped around themselves gaping in awe at their new leader, most probably with a glowing halo around his head. Manson found the truth, but it's what you do with the truth that matters. He acted as a power hungry psychopath as that was who he learnt his tricks from.

The mass were taught to consume.

Confusion is the word of the time now. People are flying around all over the globe, going here, fleeing there and if they are settled they can't sit still because they have to swipe aimlessly on a screen as they go to work or to the shopping church, dreaming of how they wish their sex was, if they get any at all that is.

People don't have the time or the enthusiasm to realise what it is they actually want to do with their lives, which would reduce the power that a few who have realised currently receive. 

The ones who's Dad's and Granddad's made so much money of those two world wars.

Clever buggers

Peace be upon you dear reader,

  1. '20 likes will make you feel better' - love it. Is it human to seek approval? It is a kind of prison, caring what people think.
