On Selfish II

Selfishness is a state of existence; as much has already been established. Upon being born we are immediately one of the lucky few who manage to see the light. But upon birth we do not recognise these gifts. Indeed, we scorn them - crying and tantrums are the first emotions we know. We do not have the faculty, nor the capacity, to empathise at such a young age. We think only of ourselves and what others actions will mean for ourselves. There is a tragic beauty to this, horrific isolation, terrific localisation. And then we are embroiled in the lie of charity, of empathy. We are told to look to the kind chaplain, devoting his life to the cloth. To the entrepreneurial businessman, creating jobs and growth. And the passionate politician, defending the public good. And it is disturbing how easily such notions take root. Those of us blessed with an education are rapidly introduced to the merit of capitalism, the great provider. The juggernaut that grows humanity, helping those that help themselves. The notion of capitalism is that we who eschew any part in the horrid business are effectively branded useless. Look to the musician who refuses to sell out - however misguided, their stubbornness to refuse selfish gain is truly admirable. Yet they have no place in the capitalist world. They who refuse to be measured by income are not important to the capitalist world. They are nothing, they are worse than nothing - for the capitalist world offered them a role, said "yes! you can be a high income earner!" "yes! you can rule over devoted minions, who only exist to serve!" The Capitalist world - that world of sharks and suits and collars and ties, of weasel words and spin, of overstuffed ego's and boldfaced lies, it is a world that is built on the back of the hard workers. Of the blue collar. And more and more so, it is not the blue collar who lives near the local pub on the corner that is being oppressed. It is the blue collar in some fucked up country that has no choice but to live menially. That will never get a chance, and if they did would grab it extremely hard. And it is this generation of suffragettes, trodden on in the relentless march for profit, it is these victims that will be the next wave of capitalist pigs. We white Australians, educated and plump, have no nous greater than 4 billion disenfranchised. Nor should we. We White Australians, insufferable whinges, are the final wave of white enslavement. We are the last generation of tyrants, oppressing billions. For nothing is more inevitable than the fall of Western captialism. And nothing in history will be remembered as more just a fall. For the better part of 500 years the White world has inhibited the world. By constructing barricades of tariffs, walls of legislature; we are safe from the nasty world. We routinely lock people up who are fleeing oppression. And we use economic arguments to justify. It is incredibly straight forward, yet the eyes of the nation are not clear. They are clouded by spin and selfish concern. And we call this democratic. Well if this is a democracy, a capitalist market, if this heinous excuse of a civilisation ascribes to such philosophy, then it is only the most morally void individual who could possibly defend it.
