Some end their days inflated figures – like Henry VIII (but not Puyi).
Hesitant in handling so much amassed power.
Perhaps it is a seasonal thing.
The mood will change with the tilt of the breeze, or the sweet scent on the air.
Wise words have become ever more poignant.
They slip with a greater ease into my consciousness.
I suspect there must be a constructive “rejection”. What comes next is not written in stone. What comes next is unwritten. It could be that an intelligent worker – that is an oppressed entity who can read and write – can infiltrate the culture of the oppressor and work to bring it down from within. This is an important observation as the “lessening” of oppression in one part of society – may well relieve the burden of suffering inflicted upon oppressed individuals somewhere else within society. As the choice of dialectical development is essentially infinite, in theory there is no limit to the objectives that can be achieved. Things are not simple – but neither should there be a “fear” that limits expression.
Black Power was still “Revolutionary” at this time – but after 2001 many performers switched their style to eulogising the very capitalism that had a) historically enslaved their ancestors, and b) continuously generates race-prejudice against their people – from one generation to the next! Today, Black-Americans are tempted to merely settle for a slice of the capitalist pie – where they can “buy” a relative sense of security by living in (exclusive) gated communities (usually with White people) protected by “Private” Security posing as Police Officers!
Questioning the mythology of religion is an important and vital aspect of ‘freedom of thought’ and does not constitute an ‘attack’ upon religiosity. Questioning the legitimacy of religious belief is an important component of a liberal society as it prevents religious groupings from ‘justifying’ criminal acts based solely upon the idea that an ‘immunity’ from prosecution is in effect premised upon the mere holding of a ‘religious’ belief! A ‘religious’ and ‘irreligious’ individual, (living within a Bourgeois State), should be held liable for their actions in front of exactly the same Secular Law. To this end, this is a text rich in insight written by a young Karl Marx just out of University and on the brink of marrying Jenny Westphalia. Perhaps there is something of the love and light euphoria of those times – which emanates from the pen of Marx!
My PhD is in ‘Spiritual Metaphysics’ – which suggests I study all phenomena relating to religion and the human experience of spirituality. To this end, I treated every experience with an objective impartiality – neither ‘agreeing’ nor ‘disagreeing’. Of course, I possess a personal opinion – the my personal opinions are a product of my freedom of thought and have no bearing upon what might – or might not – be happening. As I do not trust the slap-dash and haphazard manner in which US anti-intellectualism manipulates historical data on the US govermentally controlled ‘Wikipedia’ – I have accessed ‘Tamil’ language sources – and spoken to Tamil historians about the situation regarding Ramalinga Swamigal (1823-1874). He was borm ‘Thiruvarut Prakasa Vallalar’ (திருவருட் பிரகாச வள்ளலார்) in a village situated in the Madras area of British-controlled India. Like the Buddha, this man was a Hindu who cultivated a ‘reforming’ attitude. This Siddha was known as ‘Ramalinga Adigal’ (ராமலிங்க அடிகளார்) and more commonly as ‘Vallalar’ (வள்ளலார்) – which is written today as ‘Vadalur’ (வடலூர்) – or the place where he was born (situated in the Cuddalore District, Tamil Nadu).
The bodies (and minds) of non-White people belong to the individuals concerned and are not the play things of a group of non-Asian people who have possessed an unjust dominance in the world! An enforced gayness imposed upon the minds and bodies of migrants is nothing but a fascistic crime which the non-white victims are supposed to applaud because those doing the ‘forcing’ decide to grant Michelle Yeoh an Award! Genuine gay people should be condemning this film for the racism it exhibits and the cartoon-like gayness it portrays! No one comes out of this looking good. What makes it all worse is that Hollywood has fabricated a pathetic wave of critical acclaim – when all I see is nothing but shame. I support the Islamic countries for banning it! Thank you Saudi Arabia and Kuwait! Chinese people do not support arbitrary violence or the defiance of authority!
