(Good luck with this one. – DA)
I’m going to cunt perspective.
I know some of the more academic cunters (although always courteous and respectful) will probably roll their eyes and say something along the lines of “who gave this idiot books and internet, someone please make him watch TV again”, but I’m consumed with the paradoxical problem that the more I learn and think, the more I realise how fucking stupid and ignorant I am. It’s like taking a bite from a cake and every time time you swallow a mouthful, the fucking thing gets 10 times bigger….
As you’ll probably gather, I haven’t taken the inspiration of this cunting from any book, it’s just what I’ve realised through my journey recently.
I apologise in advance if you’ve heard the same crap from the first week of an amateur philosophy class or something….. I’m not an intellectual, I’m just an electrician.
I’ve been thinking, and one thing I’m wresting with at the moment is perspective.
Is there a “good” side or an “evil” side?
Or just winner and loser….
Is what we think we know, fact, or someone else’s perspective of truth.
The truth is not the same from different perspectives….
Fact is true, truth is subjective…. or is it the other way around?
A fact has to have context (surely). Truth is the context of a fact. Truth is subjective depending on perspective.
That’s what I’m thinking about tonight… Help me….
Since I cancelled my BBC licence I’ve been reading as much as I can (Solzhenitsyn, Orwell, Frankel etc, got some Dostoevsky but its a bit over my head at the mo… and I’ve got some Aristotle on order, can’t wait to read that) and I’ve spent A LOT of time on telegram. I really want to see how people think and how they’ve come to their conclusions. I’m not an academic or intellectual, but I’m fascinated by humans, in all our splendour and cuntitude…
I follow communists, Nazis, libertarians, all types. (Surprisingly, of all those, libertarians are actually the most bat-shit crazy).
Weirdly, I’ve learned that there are many sides to every story and 2 sides can be totally conflicting, but both still true… it all depends on perspective.
I’m sure the more intellectual cunters can give some better examples, but here are a few of my own…
Take the British empire for example….
From my old perspective, it brought technology, education, infrastructure and medicine to less advanced peoples. It saved far more blacks from diseases and early deaths than it killed from war or slavery.
We were told during the Brexit referendum that we would be poorer, loose our infrastructure, investment, health service and standing in the world. I chose sovereignty.
So now I take a different perspective on the British empire. Was it good or bad?
As a consequence of that I actually don’t hate David Lammy and his ilk for hating white people (not for that anyway, he’s still cunt coz he’s here, he should slag us off from Africa if he hates us so much). From their perspective though, whites conquered them, and for that we will never be forgiven.
I feel the same way about him and his people by the way. I know what’s coming.
Are communists worse that nazis? Who killed more? Does it matter?
Both cunts, depends on perspective.
Is religion about spiritual atonement or territorial / ideological conquest?
Both true, depends on perspective. Again, no religion rose without blood all over its hands, but would you regard old biddies at the soup kitchen as conquerors?
You might say “liberal values built our great society”.
That would be true.
You could also say “liberal values are destroying our society”.
That would also be true.
You might say “liberal society is degenerate and immoral ”
True I guess, but relative to what?
Perspective.
Was George Floyd a criminal that got what he deserved, or a victim of police brutality?
Both are true.
Do blacks have a higher prison rate because of racism or the fact that they have a degenerate culture?
Both are true to a degree. I have a perspective, but others have a different one.
Is social justice about helping the marginalised, or persecuting the non believers?
I know my thoughts, but again, perspective.
See why I think perspective is such a cunt?
As much as I wish I could, I don’t hate others with different views, as we all view the world from a different angle.
Why can’t facts just be facts?
Why can’t cold hard stats have no context?
They can, but most are meaningless without it….
From the perspective of the fact comes “the truth”, which may seem like gospel to that individual, but complete bollocks, or even “evil” to someone else.
So we choose our truths subjectively based on objective facts. But those “facts” (more often than not) are in fact someone else’s truths, fed to us through someone else’s perspective.
We all choose our perspective, or have it engraved in our thinking through education, media, environment, upbringing or experience.
Who’s to say one individuals experience is more valid than another’s?
Why view anyone (to a degree of course) as evil rather than a victim of perspective?
Facts are nothing without perspective.
Or am I just tying my brain in knots over nothing, or trying to understand people that don’t deserve to be understood?
This is all making me glad I didn’t choose a more intellectual path in life as, although I’m enjoying reading lots of books now, I’m not studying them, so although I ponder the ideas and think about them for a short time, it tends to go in one ear and right out the other. And the more I learn, the more confused I become about the world.
Maybe I’m better off as an electrician, with a simple life.
Yea, think I’ll stick to being a peasant, crack open that nice bottle of Whitby IPA I have in the fridge, and then go up and shag the lass…..
A simple life is better, maybe I’ll even plug myself back into the matrix one day…..
Orange man bad.
Diversity is our strength.
What demographic replacement?
Tolerance.
Religion of peace.
That evil, this good…..
BTW if you think that was all bollocks, fine.
I am…. quite, quite drunk.
