A Modest Proposal

Dear fellow humans, we’ve got ourselves in a right old mess over these last two years. We have allowed our governments to control our lives into the tiniest details, even when they were punishing our meekness with devastating sadism. Some couldn’t even hide their triumphant smiles. Having grown stale after two months, the covid scare has only been kept alive thanks to our weasel behaviour in the face of an extraordinarily coincidental adventure in which reality always seemed one step behind authorities’ reaction to the same. It was a kind of Alice in Wonderland affair, with people locked to their looking glasses telling them how dangerous life was becoming.

 

And then you all took the elixir. They told you it was an experiment and that you wouldn’t have any form of reclamation in case of damages, so why participate? Why lend your body to genetic intervention? I was not raised in any recognisable religion or denomination (a bit of everything and a load of disbelief) but I feel a strong reprehension to having my genetic make-up fiddled with under the scornful eyes of my maker, whether God or Mother Nature. I wouldn’t want to lose my soul, if that is possible, nor my mind or my heart or any other organ. I just wouldn’t do it under any circumstance, kill me first. If my existence on Earth is no longer appreciated, then why don’t you get it over with. But don’t expect me to help you. You will have to outsmart me. I despise you too.

 

Dear fellow humans, you have been poisoned. There was no reason to protect you against a disease which had become mostly controllable for the vast majority. The absurd measures, beginning with disrupting the GP-patient relation, followed by locking people up and refusing to treat them, never did anything to relieve the burden of those who were in the fire line and who had mostly stopped paying taxes, a cardinal sin in neoliberalist society. Think of that. By creating a bogus scare, hospitals were nudged towards the wrong approach, thinking they were dealing with the bubonic plague and killing thousands of elderly people in the process before they understood what was actually going on and began to get a grip on the situation. That’s when this whole epidemic was over, in May 2020, yet nobody was interested in this fact. Nevertheless, the numbers are to this day available on official EU pages.

So, here we are. Covid has mutated into omicron and everybody gets it while very few people take it hard. The virus is harmless and has become part of our constitution. As it goes with viruses, the story has come to its natural conclusion. As always, nature bats last. That is, if this whole virus story isn’t simply made up and people were poisoned in different ways. That’s the stuff of speculation. It doesn’t hurt to follow the viral narrative here. Covid imploded right after it started, as it was obviously staged and the few wouldn’t release anything honestly dangerous so as not to risk their own high net worth lives. Yet, few were able to see this. Finally, a shift is noticeable. In the face of growing civil impatience, countries are loosening restrictions and turning their concerns to the possibility of war, that old and time tested fearmonger. Yet for two whole years our governments have managed to forestall inevitable herd immunity, forcing us to wear masks, close down our businesses and worst of all, be maniacal monsters to our poor little children, stealing their lust for life and their sense of being. My question is: fellow humans, are you willing to learn the right lessons from this biblical tragedy? Are you ready to fundamentally change your ways or are you already mesmerised by the looming threat of nuclear war?

 

We have come very close to extinction this time and we aren’t safe by a long shot, especially the majority of you who have already had three kill shots and are starting to feel a bit feeble, yet there seems to emerge a workable collective of resilient individuals who are ready to confront the power elites who dreamt up this fanciful idea of culling western consumers for the benefit of their own, endless futures. At the same time, the elites are showing to be surprisingly insecure of themselves. Think of it this way: three investment funds rule the world with their money, which is basically the money of millions of medium and small-time investors and which gives these savers – what in their heart they still are – a shared responsibility for the tyranny that is presently coming into being. And clearly, not everybody deals with this realisation in a similar heartless way as the lizards at the top. Many of the well-off love their land and town equally as poor folk, not imagining having to say goodbye to either.

 

Dear fellow humans, the time has come to put our daily struggles aside for a while and, in the words of our great adversary Klaus S., imagine the world we want for ourselves. I believe the time has come to rethink our relationship with authority. For as long as I can think back and for at least two thousand years, we have been subjected to the whims of church and landlords and later money, government and other distant manipulators. We believed them to be superior to us at first and then we believed they represented us and had our best interests in mind. Either way we have been betrayed by those who threw themselves to the fore and shouted: look at me, I’m wonderful, I’ll be your king, your priest, your banker, your minister, your manager, all you must do is trust my kindness.

 

These people are psychopaths. That’s how are system works, we select for the smartest and the cruellest, with neoliberalism especially fruitful for the latter. We cannot trust these people. They are the worst of our kind. They show it in their willingness to save their world by getting rid of what they perceive as useless eaters. The best you may hope for under their plans is to do at all times as you are told by means of direct brain impulses, the technology for which is being injected into you jab by jab. Of course, you may choose to play it safe by not seeking your limits. This is how electric fencing works. But don’t worry, your soul will be taken care of through genetic manipulation. You will leave your body, if you not simply dissolve, rendering your experience down here instantly worthless and your body a walking corpse. This is heavy stuff. Check on what serious physicians have to say about it. You may want to start here.

 

At the same time, ever since the real bubonic plague, we have managed to create a workable society that offered a growing number of people comfortable jobs, exploding in the twentieth century to the levels of non-primary employment we still see today. We seemed to have learnt to live without too much overt authoritarianism in our everyday lives and we believed in growing awareness. Early 21^st century brought shock and awe and a relapse in fortitude. The scandalous financial crisis was subserviently assumed and covid follows a similar vain. Many believe in obedience more than their own observations. It must be clear now to everybody that we can’t go back to our old ways. CO₂ is fear porn, but pollution is real and so-called green energy solutions are only making matters worse as well as being incapable of providing for 8 billion people. We will have to scale down and localise. One planet, a thousand oases, one people, a thousand tribes. Let’s reoccupy our lands and build back our relationship with nature. It will be hard, but we can do it. We surely will have some comforts left. The Internet has proven to be a powerful tool in the hands of well-meaning, caring and sharing humans all over the world. Let’s give Africa the chance to be herself. But first, we must get rid of those at the top. They are few and we are many and they live in constant fear of our uprising, which we never do since we believe in their right to rule us. We don’t have to kill them, all we have to do is go for their positions and possessions. New centuries tend to get going only a decade or two in. If the 19^th century began after Napoleon and the 20^th after 1918, the 21^st may very well start for real in 2022. So please, stop complying. Just stop. Everybody is ready for it.
