The Inexhaustible Stupidity of Hoi Polloi

It is one of the great achievements of real politics that no matter what is done to them, the masses accept it. Of course a small measure of Pavlavian conditioning is necessary for certain societal changes, but in the main, the masses of TV-addicted nobodies are like lumps of clay in the hands of master potters.

That they need to be ruled, there can be no doubt. That they must be ruled, there can be no doubt. Thankfully, most of the vile worms are too mired down in meaningless, mundane workaday lives of toil to notice that they are ruled. It is to this mechanism of self-imposed ignorance that we owe the forward momentum of progress. The system of poverty has played a significant role as well. If you were to ask 100 average dopes on the street how economics work, they'd shrug their shoulders and probably mumble something about getting some cigarettes before stumbling on.

The chaos of a random universe dictates that the inferior be sculpted (or disposed of) by superior life forms. Malcontents do not appreciate this basic fact of existence. I could list hundreds, but most of them are quite obscure little figures. It might strike some readers of this blog as counter-intuitive for me to write this, but this situation is lamentable. The more malcontents heard, the more the herd can be misled. Indeed, the more dunces out there that get a whiff of "progressive" rot, the better it will be for us. The reason is this: it plays on their mute, impotent egos. Once you let the little peons believe they have a say or the ability to think for themselves, the vanity mechanism takes hold and they are more susceptible to manipulation. Naturally, we know they lack the ability to reason; they are brutes, automata, chaff riding the whirlwind of history. Nonetheless it is quite helpful to encourage this conceit in them.

Oh mortal man, is there nothing you cannot be persuaded to believe?
