Sid Thomas S*-ing to Power

S*-ing to Power **** S is for Sign, * is for Use. S*, as in S*-ing, is for SLINGING THE SHLONG AGAINST PHILOSOPHICAL AND OTHER ABUSE (Let S* be verse, picture, symbology, rant, whatever talks eternal, American, now) The world is ready and waiting for what we can do here. As John Calvin put it, differently, "It's up to you."

ethical cleansing

ETHICAL CLEANSING


ALL OUT REVERSAL
3.11.06

-Written upon arriving at The Reverse Solution (TRS*)
(Gay, Christian, Catholic, Jew, Feminist – American, human being)

The common psycho-historical situation: confrontation with The Reversal: “That Which I/We Am/Are Not” – on the unconscious side; therefore, confrontation with those who Know “Me/Us” as it were “From Within.” Since it is as inescapable as we from ourselves, and it opposes us, it could be called “the sickness.” However, focus should be kept exclusively on the phenomenon, even as a sickness, rather than on models that suggest taking medicine (infectous disease). Those who focus on the medicine, while certainly needed, cannot correct a malfunction originating in the mind.

This situation is common to all, individuals and groups in America -- and beyond. It is manifest in and through communication, the way we do it. The particular signs (pictures and words) used to exchange thoughts, ideas, experiences carry with them the psychological situation of their users. Today, their user’s minds have become sites of powerful psychological opposites seeking to unite with each other. And with us; through us; reproducing their bastard offspring by means of our values, ideals, libido, work.

But it cannot be. Contradictions can exist only in the mind, not in reality, therefore the mentality based on self-contradiction has a necessarily limited run until it destroys itself.

That must prove true of the present situation as well, the only question being how long it takes, and how much destruction ensues before the inevitable end.

Everyone knows that at a certain level, I think. It has passed from the un- to the pre-conscious system, in terms of Freud’s early models.


In external groups: those who use the same terms of reference as oneself knowingly intending to communicate the opposite of an attached emotional content.
