Chapter 20 (Aronade: age 16/ Mark: age 18 — Conformity)
I’m surprised people are buying into this reality — who would want it? They say it’s progress. Progress towards what? It’s hard to fathom why anyone would want to live a life where they’re micromanaged and controlled — not to mention killed off — on somebody else’s whim.
But it seems to me that some people are more afraid to lose their place in the world than they even are of their own physical death. They will literally lose their will to live at all if they lose the world. That is why they are so desperate to cling on to the world even if its current manifestation is unrecognizable compared to what preceded it.
Conformity is what passes for righteousness in this world, even though conformists are conforming to an evil world-system. The only problems conformists seem to have with the world are that their place in it is never high enough, and that it doesn’t last.
The common belief is that conformity to the world-system breeds stability and goodness. Some people choose to believe that if everyone conformed to the world-system there would be no evil — that evil only exists when there individuals don’t conform. But this belief flies in the face of reality. In fact, some of the worst atrocities that have been committed have happened when the majority conformed to a corrupt world-system. When Satan’s involved, it’s the majority you have to fear the most, not the minority. You see, a few bad men can only do so much damage for so long before they burn out. But if you can get the masses — the conformists — to buy into your world-system then you’ve got something. The amount of damage you can do … the amount of death you can bring. And most of the conformists want that secretly … the unbounded sadism … they’re attracted to it. Having their will and their desire unleashed. But they won’t own that. That’s why they need a leader to hide behind. He can act as the instrument of their hidden will. And they feel they will never be held accountable for acting out these desires. It might take longer to turn the masses towards a new worldview then a small number of individuals, but the effects are catastrophic.
Human beings being what they are want to have their own will, their own sin. People say personal sins don’t hurt anyone else, but the fruits of their actions don’t bear that out. For whatever the reason, perhaps because it requires a worsening of the sin to get the same stimulation from it, sin always gets worse. And a society that normalizes the worsening of sin always decays. It seems people can be so invested in keeping their personal level of sin — to have society accept it and normalize it — that they’re willing to condone progressively worsening levels of depravity. It eventually gets to the point of boundless sin where even sadism, rape, and murder become socially acceptable.
The problem is that human beings gravitate towards evil and vote it in with their free will. They’ll choose whoever makes them feel good about what they’re doing. If people didn’t want the world-system and success in it then these elites wouldn’t have the power to commit their atrocious acts … at least not on the scale they do now.
Now society has rewritten its rules, and the conformists have changed their ways to match them.
I had thought that people actually believed in what they said they believed in years ago. So, I was particularly confused when the tide turned and the sadists began to take over that most people went on as though nothing different had happened. Then it dawned on me … finally … that they had never really believed what they said they believed in back then. They merely took on the beliefs of the society at that moment.
People really are like sheep — either following each other or following a shepherd. Therefore it is of the upmost importance to be following the Good Shepherd, Jesus Christ, and thereby be following God. For the more a part of the world you are, the more susceptible you become to its brainwashing. The only way to counteract its invasive worldview is to separate yourself from it as best you can and turn to God through Jesus Christ.
In the end, it’s amazing the lengths people will go to accept and to conform to a new reality, even one that’s murderous and depraved. It’s scary to think of it. A large group lending its support and showing complicity to a criminal state does not mean that that state is good or benign. It is, in fact, extremely easy to get outwardly directed people to move down a destructive path. The pull of sin combined with the addiction to the approval of others is too seductive a snare for some.
The pecking order. How invested they are in the pecking order! Societies that are based on it seem to buy into eugenics, tyranny, and control. People of the world are desperate to rise to the top of the pecking order — the elite status. The fact is people don’t want to be equal; they want to be elite. I didn’t realize how much they want to be elite — how most ape the upper class. Give them something with a shiny veneer, and they’ll go for it.
But you can’t change who you are and what talent you have to any great extent. So people try to control their position through browbeating others. Oftentimes it’s through emotional abuse and coercion. But if the society truly degenerates, it turns to physical violence. The anger and narcissistic rage at the prospect of certain people rising above their position grows to such an extent that they could literally peck someone to death.
They want the world-system to put or keep people they don’t like and who aren’t a part of the world-system in their place. When they think the system is moving forward in this agenda, they stand off on the sidelines watching and waiting — keeping a low profile and the façade of neutrality and “niceness” while secretly in favor of the expressed worldview of the world-system. But if it appears the agenda is going to be stopped, they are willing to exit from their comfort zones and strengthen the efforts to get the agenda moving forward again. They don’t want the environment to return to one that is favorable to those whom they hate. They want their own success in the world-system at the expense of those whom they hate. And they want to use the tools of the world-system to achieve that outcome — their advancement and the suppression and persecution of their enemies.
People play by the rules of the world-system. They will allow people who are deemed expendable to be sacrificed. As long as there is someone else lower in the pecking order, people of higher status will receive a delay in the execution of their sentence. Maybe those in power won’t get around to them — maybe the conformists will find a way out of the situation. When those slated to be destroyed try to escape, the conformists of the world are invested in keeping them trapped where they are, so that they will go first. Plus, if the outcasts try to fight back, then it might ruin the conformists’ survival plan. The best chance for the conformists, in their minds, is to go along with the world and wait it out. They are all busy backing away, so they won’t be the next ones targeted. I guess it works … up until there’s no one left to step over in order to avoid that same outcome.
Even if it’s in their best interest, some people are averse to committing to the truth. They apparently want to keep their options open — don’t want the truth to restrict their ability to pursue their own will … their own personal sin. They would rather gamble on the side that wants boundless sin than willingly submit to any kind of rules. The conformists apparently think it’s a worse thing to re-establish rules that might put restrictions on or least bring disapproval on to their own behavior than it is to let it all seep into chaos and depravity. They don’t want to go back to a time when their pursuing whatever they wanted was considered wrong. They prefer lawlessness instead. After all, haven’t the anarchists assured them that they won’t be the ones persecuted?
Of course, people always have to compromise themselves or have someone else compromise themselves in order to gain world-system success. And when they see people who don’t compromise, even if those people don’t have any worldly success, the resentment and anger grows. At first there was satisfaction in having more than the people who refuse to compromise. But as the payoff wanes, or worse yet, time appears to be running out — it soon becomes not enough. Those people who held out aren’t envious enough of those who compromised themselves — they aren’t willing to sell themselves for luxury. But perhaps they would be willing to compromise themselves in order to survive? Perhaps survival is a luxury that only those who are willing to sell themselves should have? The conformists may die … eventually, but there is some satisfaction to be gleaned in outlasting those who don’t compromise. It feels like escaping death.
But the most satisfaction is gleaned in getting those nonconformists to debase themselves in order to save their own lives — even if the reprieve is momentary. It seems to prove the nonconformists are no better, and it justifies the dubious methods the conformists took in order to achieve their success.
If you want to go with the world, you are free to do so. But you don’t have the right to make that choice for someone else, or to kill those who don’t do the same.
Conformists are considered agreeable people … and they are encouraged to go with the flow … to accept the whims of those in power. And it seems true that oftentimes they will live longer than those who don’t compromise with the world. I think there must be some comfort in that for people — the ability to ingratiate yourself with those in power. In this world, you can even stay in the gray area — not committing to either side completely in order to emerge with the winner in the end. That is assuming you have the skill and are given the chance to pull it off. Conformists seem comforted by stories where a person is able to manipulate those in power in order to save themselves. That’s why I think war troubles them so much. You can’t manipulate a bomb. There is more chance for them to survive a tyranny…and maybe even come out on top with a higher social status than before the tyranny took over. Therefore, beware of people who prefer tyranny to war. They don’t mind compromising themselves to evil; they don’t mind sacrificing the innocent and the vulnerable. Just the promise of getting back into the world-system — of prospering in it — is enough to get them to participate in atrocious acts. The propaganda tells them who is at the top — who they should be like in order to get privileged status. It also tells them who not to be, so they can, in theory, avoid persecution.
There were perks for the common man during the Nazi era; there was a wooing on some level. But this time there won’t be many if any perks. The elite have gotten powerful enough — have gained enough control that they don’t have to woo any longer. The sick thing of it is you only get rewarded with something that will temporarily relieve you of some of the burden of your suffering but won’t ultimately save you. And this positive reinforcement is only given if you contribute to your own annihilation. Otherwise, you will be denied any positive reinforcement.
Instead, they offer you the choice of bad treatment or worse treatment — death delayed or death right away. Conformity will no longer save you … but it could keep you fed and alive a little longer. And then maybe you’ll survive … if you can prove useful … if things break your way. Sadly that “maybe” is enough to get most people to compromise themselves. It is far from a guarantee, but it’s apparently enough. And in this pro-death, pro-sadistic society it’s the best they are willing to give.
By removing any option but a globalist option, the elites have put a stop to the moderating effect of competition between political groups. The conformists had been flip-flopping toward whatever side they thought was winning and gave them (the conformists) what they wanted. Now the globalists have effectively removed the leverage the conformists had and left them with little power in the world.
It has become clear that the elite have the power to destroy us … in a variety of ways … including by just cutting us off of the world-system infrastructure we’ve become dependent on. So, now their efforts are going into lulling us into a false sense of security that they won’t use that power against us — the benevolent dictatorship myth. Or, at least they are trying to get people to believe they won’t use their power against the majority — the conformists. Most people won’t have a problem with the nonconformists being destroyed, especially if it means their own survival or even just the chance at having some increase in their standard of living.
And yet really, once again, it’s become a situation where conforming to the prevailing ideology won’t save you in the long run anyway. You are somewhere on the list of targets, and they will get to you eventually.
Now the sadists are taking over again. And they no longer intend to play nice in order to seduce you to their side. They no longer need you to gain power; your usefulness is over. That must be very unnerving for those with a conformist mentality — those who thought they’d escape from the consequences of the new regime.
And really, what difference could it make to the conformists if it’s the end or not? Death is coming either way. Unless, of course, they’re really worried that rather than the big payoff they’ve been seeking, they will instead receive punishment should they go along with the globalist agenda.
