IS “ANTI-HATE” THE WORST KIND OF HATE?
By Gordon Duff STAFF WRITER/Senior Editor
“Hate” is a commodity, I can even go further, it’s an element, like fire, water or air. It is the fuel for our civilization, our society, our entertainment and our worldwide affliction, mass hysteria and insanity. Moreover, hate is an industry, a multi-billion dollar industry and a key component of politics, perhaps even controlling politics and a vital part of everything else from banking to oil, even defense. Without hate, killing might seem wrong somehow. We can’t have that.
There is nothing more destructive to reason than discussions of social anthropology. I find it akin to the type of pseudo-science that defends those who sexually abuse children as victims of a bad environment. The environment they want, of course, is one where they can abuse children without risk of arrest and detention. Servicing the needs of this and similar groups isn’t a recent thing, “sex tourism” and such but is written into every major religion. One of the major religions allows sex with 3 year olds. However, other religions are not that dissimilar and a wonderful source of hate is the religion “industry” wherein “scholars” find nasty things in the holy books of other religions.
The reason for this is always the same, to justify theft of land and resources, to dehumanize, to represent human beings as cattle so that a society can be both debased and inhuman and “religious” at the same time. When someone else’s religion does this, it is extremism, when yours does it, it is divine retribution. The list of major wars that have resulted from this would be too exhaustive to read. Suffice it to say, in today’s world there are over a hundred conflicts going on, murder and rape a vital component, all justified as stopping the religious “extremism” of others.
The “gold standard,” in the west at least, has always been the Church. Women, by the tens of thousands or more were burned as witches for several hundred years. The rationale? They were a type of, well, terrorist, in commune with evil spirits of some kind, almost as though they had Osama bin Laden on speed dial. The trials were interesting. Only the “guilty” were put on trial and all trials led to conviction as with America’s “military tribunals” or the more recent trial of Dr. Aafia, the MIT graduate and mother convicted of “witchcraft” and sentenced to 86 years in prison. This was 2010, not 1410 and the charge was witchcraft. Aafia was a woman who was “there” when a victim was needed by the Bush administration. She was raped and tortured for years, then subjected to a quasi-legal farce clearly out of the Middle Ages.
It isn’t just her, it isn’t just America, we are doing it all over the world, using the pretext of law or the imaginary “war on terror” or, as with some in the Middle East, even turning the clock back 5000 years, perhaps before that, to a primordial pre-human period, killing as g-d’s “chosen.”
The key to getting away with hate crimes isn’t military force but control of information. As religion is the primary source of hate crimes, overshadowing race by only the slightest margin, the nature of religion, as defined by Freud. Few have suffered as much derision as Freud, hated by everyone today. What better rationale could one have to reexamining his teachings than the fact that those who control information hate him so much.
“Religion is an illusion and it derives its strength from the fact that it falls in with our instinctual desires.” –Sigmund Freud, New Introductory Lectures on Psychoanalysis,1933.
“Religion is comparable to a childhood neurosis.” –Sigmund Freud, The Future of an Illusion, 1927
“Religion is an attempt to get control over the sensory world, in which we are placed, by means of the wish-world, which we have developed inside us as a result of biological and psychological necessities. If one attempts to assign to religion its place in man’s evolution, it seems not so much to be a lasting acquisition, as a parallel to the neurosis which the civilized individual must pass through on his way from childhood to maturity.” –Sigmund Freud, Moses and Monotheism, 1939
If one were to define Antisemitism in the 20th century, the blanket rejection of Freud’s work based on his ethnicity alone does it. It is Freud that destroys, not only the concepts of Naziism but Zionism as well. The simple reality, call it humanism, call it what you wish, that every system or scheme of distorting thought through culture or sociology, be it politics, race, religion, is not just delusion but man’s effort to devolve himself. A pope with a funny hat taking direction from heaven, managing an institution that oversaw the rape of generations of children, a rabbi equating men with cattle, openly advocating genocide in Gaza or a Hutu impaling a Tutsi child because they “smell funny, ” these and hundreds of other examples are equal.
Nuts is nuts. Damning others because they may or may not be slightly crazier than you is nuts. Building nuclear weapons is nuts. Freud is hated for telling the truth, people who talk to things that aren’t there, people who hear voices are crazy.
From Group Psychology and the Analysis of the Ego (1921)
“A religion, even if it calls itself a religion of love, must be hard and unloving to those who do not belong to it.”
From The Future of an Illusion (1927):
“Our knowledge of the historical worth of certain religious doctrines increases our respect for them, but does not invalidate our proposal that they should cease to be put forward as the reasons for the precepts of civilization. On the contrary! Those historical residues have helped us to view religious teachings, as it were, as neurotic relics, and we may now argue that the time has probably come, as it does in an analytic treatment, for replacing the effects of repression by the results of the rational operation of the intellect.”
From Civilization and Its Discontents (1930):
“The whole thing is so patently infantile, so foreign to reality, that to anyone with a friendly attitude to humanity it is painful to think that the great majority of mortals will never be able to rise above this view of life. It is still more humiliating to discover how a large number of people living today, who cannot but see that this religion is not tenable, nevertheless try to defend it piece by piece in a series of pitiful rearguard actions.”“The different religions have never overlooked the part played by the sense of guilt in civilization. What is more, they come forward with a claim…to save mankind from this sense of guilt, which they call sin.”
FREUD AND EXTREMISM
Freud’s greatest value would have been in the area of extremism and terror. No one predicted, not only the rise of extremism but the institutionalization of extremism where human culture would devolve to an extent where destruction would represent the only yard stick of human endeavor. Marx saw communism as a way of inoculating mankind from self destruction. Communism was meant to value man above g-d. The tool communism was to use, however, was “cult of personality,” in reality, a religion in itself.
Religion, now lauding itself as the “inoculation” against communism, claims to exalt g-d above man.
History has shown, and shows us every day, that all that is exalted is strong over weak and the tyranny of the weak minded over what the philosophers of the 18th and 19th century had hoped mankind would evolve into. With the rise of media hype turning thought into a humiliating caricature of itself, Satre and his existentialists or the Hegelians of 19th century morphed into a debased pop-culture, a combination of Desmond Morris, Billy Graham and Harry Potter.
Thus, there isn’t anything, no matter how nuts, that can’t be said or done that won’t get broad support. Joseph Campbell wrote of the power of mythology. There is only one mythology anymore, religious, racial, political, and that is exploitation of hate as a tool to perpetuate ignorance.
Freud, Marx, even Fred Nietzsche, they all understood it. When the Rabbi talks of man as cattle, he is only branding a century of our failures. Yes, we have been inoculated, given the germ of hate, set on the task of our own destruction and debasement. The disease vector is established through fiber optics and satellite dishes, a plague of bits bytes and reality TV, no longer rats and fleas.
They “erased” Freud. They “branded” Freud. Human beings are meant to be ignorant and vicious animals. It is our fate to enslave ourselves and never ask why.
