Proper Nouns are People Too

Those of us born north of World War II and especially those of us born in First World conditions have a hard time imagining a governmental regime that systematically slaughters its citizens. But if we consider the media propaganda we've all been fed, the corporate ad crap that's blasted at us daily, the cultural moral decay, and the statistics of the 20th Century, the math ads up. The fact that "statistics" exists as a science at all, shows the human capacity for the reduction of nouns, proper or pro, to numbers. "Demographics", "stereotypes", "corporations", "factions", "parties", etc. - all work in tandem to do one thing: objectify. This objectification is the source of all torture, slaughter, exploitation, commodification, in short, the reduction of life to objects. 

Face it: Someone, somewhere thinks you're expendable... 

... Not only do they think you're expendable, but they are taking active measures to exploit you. That exploitation may be chronic or acute, but you damn well better believe its happening. The good news is that it ain't personal. Remember you're just a number. 

The heart of this matter is widespread spiritual destitution. I'm not talking about deviation from religion, because religion objectifies it adherents and infidels just as readily as any corporate slug objectifies its market. I'm talking about a maturity of perception that understands our essential unity, and in that understanding is capable of empathy. Our leaders are disconnected. They cannot empathize with us. If they could empathize their daily decisions would be different. 

We've created an exploitative culture through materialistic reductionism. Why then should we expect anything less than martial law, psy ops, or police brutality. The power elite has long puppeted us through the banks, and now that the banks are failing, they will resort to all out fascism. 

Actions steps:

1) Meditate.

2) Make noise.

3) Train daily.

4) Ask yourself, "How do I objectify my fellow humans, animals, and even plants." And make an effort to see individuals, not collective bodies. In short, get personal.
