Shock Therapy

This is the home of all topics from the old forum. ontic-philosophy.com was the original incarnation of this site back in 2017/18 which was ran on a myBB platform. A Tree Stump (formely Ontical) saved a backup of the site before taking it down. In 2025 the forum was ressurected into a Buddypress/phpBB site on indieagora.com and then into this new Atrium custom build platform on indieagora.com. Feel free to add to the discussions and to ressurect old posts. You can also add new topics if you like.

Shock Therapy

Post by atreestump »

We live in a Disaster Capitalist state. Naomi Klein pointed out one of Milton Freidman's tactics of using events of terror and catastrophe- from Earthquakes to Suicide Bombers- to play political spin to the advantage of the neoliberal agenda.

The horrific attack on the Manchester Arena may be used to Theresa May's advantage - a strong military interventionist attitude will serve as the 'solution' to the 'moment of vertigo' caused by such shocks.

This shock stuff, used as desensitization as well as to wuickly and thoughtlessly justify radical responses that can lead to prolonged misery and suffering for huge amounts of people, in all its forms, traumatic things seem to be poisonous for the most part, one way or another, and almost always used towards bad ends rather than good, if good are even possible from shocking things. Yet, somehow the worst people always seem to make it through? Why is it that the response to any bad news isn't the general public tearing down their idols and overlords? It is always attacking the easiest targets instead, like seeing something horrific, and then finding a puppy to kick or a baby to throw. Even when the real causes may be convincingly identified, the wealthy who organized false flag plots to manipulate people, just like Gladio and the attack on the USS Liberty and whatever else in the old playbook that runs the same, since the target is too difficult to get too and too risky to even dare approach, the people take it out instead on just whatever, some pointless, powerless entity, a strawman or effigy, like the Bull Baal Burned by the Iranians who are basically held in non-stop suspense now as the Western Powers pushed by Iz are poised to strike them willy nilly for the purposes of perpetually ruining them and r*ping them of resources, as usual. They already showed how totally helpless and pathetic they are by being unable to resist having their facilities bombed, just as a preliminary exercise and showcase of total inequality and unfairness, and to tenderize their infrastructure for the hoped for collapse. This is pure evil on display that should absolutely terrify everyone, since they will do such things to people, communities, states, organizations, this is absolute impunity and total power that has consolidated to such a degree that no one can even lift a finger against abuses, and lifting a finger does nothing except put a target on an entire area where communal punishment will them be executed.

People then cry for help from the other bullying super powers, but none of them want to help, so entire populations will be wiped out in between them, and there would only ever be a response if more directly fought.

The people would not be able to do anything whether they were numbed by desensitizing shocks or shocked by all this on display. It also will NEVER cease, because it is the entire philosophy of a certain group to constantly ingluct shocking things on everyone in the world, that is what they do and have always done, so as long as they are around, they will work to accumulate power specifically for that purpose of shocking people with trash media corrupting and lowering the bar indefinitely towards thinking nothing is wrong and the exploitation of hunan beings, taken advantage of exclusively by the wealthy elites promoting the acceptance of such ideas and loss of all defenses towards such things, and shocking or prodding their cattle to do whatever they wish, such as pitting groups against each other to take care of the violence without having to impose it. Soon enough, machines will increasingly become what will be linked to atrocities, except the people won't be able to lash out on the people running the machines and benefitting from what they make thrm do against any and ultimately all of us.

Seemingly nothing can anyblonger motivate action from the populace, and the message is sent in so many ways that the worst of humanity has already won, even long before they really have.

Seemingly no shock can sufficiently get people to risk and sacrifice themselves anymore.

"
In Marxist thought, a communist society or the communist system is the type of society and economic system postulated to emerge from technological advances in the productive forces, representing the ultimate goal of the political ideology of communism. A communist society is characterized by common ownership of the means of production with free access[1][2] to the articles of consumption and is classless, stateless, and moneyless,[3][4][5][6] implying the end of the exploitation of labour.[7][8]
"

Yet, whenever it is left in the hands of the people who try to get in charge of any stage where power is concentrated and regulation and enforcement is necessary, they seemingly betray the cause and choose evil and delaying everything so that people suffer again.

I'm for all these f*ckers leaving me alone as much as possible, and helping me with the most help whenever I need it, all I want is for there to be people always ready and available to help anyone and anything ehenever they need it, and f*cking off otherwise, asking for nothing, taking nothing, friends with benefits or not really friends at all, just servitors for the will, desire, needs of the people, imposing nothing, making everything available always to everyone, no rulers, no bosses, a Utopia where food and healthcare and everything at the best levels is always there, but otherwise no one needs to do anything or be involved with anything.

I hate graphic violence or violence in general, though I think that very horrible things may be able to scare some people from certain things potentially, or that the punishments may need to be harsher for some of the things people do and keep doing, like the woman who kept her daughter imprisoned and malnourished for decades while torturing her, a very violent punishment publicized might scare anyone who dares do such a hideous thing, but instead we have criminals glorifying their crimes because they don't get what they deserve:



This is 2 years ago, and they have done so much more since and are continuing to do so, one shocker after another, unless one has no more shocks left, which may be the goal in this case, normalizing evil, and anyone is next.







All these criminals are walking free among the world populace, they are international travelers with lots of money to spend, and commit crimes elsewhere too, completely untouched and protected as state sanctioned marauders by a state that is immune to being sanctioned or prosecuted.

Yet they also stage "shock" events to try to motivate people to take actions like being recruited into their criminal causes against the general populace.



These are the same people who used communication devices purchased by members of the public they had secretly implanted with explosives to simultaneously detonate in the largest mass terror attack on civilians, and they laughed about it and all the people they killed and damaged. This isn't even brought up any more because of the constant stream of new evils covering up the older ones.

So, I noticed that, now for a long time, if I'm feeling bad, physically, mentally, and with nothing much to look forward to, so no positive projection for my future, I only do the bare minimum to survive, just as an automatic thing to maintain some equilibrium, health, and comfort, not wanting to make things worse, but not feeling like investing in a future much, not feeling like I can muster much energy to do anything, just weak, exhausted, frail, and largely frozen, really conserving all energy and barely moving unless some major pressure is involved. The productivity takes a huge hit, the maintenance of anything really, everything slowly keeps piling up and becomes overwhelming which leads to further procrastination and avoidance as it becomes even more difficult so the willingness to suffer through that is even more battered and in further retreat.

I can barely read, though I've really maintained a very consistent rate of constant learning and processing much more information that most people probably as well as synthesizing and applying it and combining it, which is aldo most likely a rather rare and unique practice, especially how I in particular do it, not necessarily seen on this site, which is still fractional overall compared to all my information consumption and a lot of the decisions for what I post are still meant to be the potentially entertaining things in case anyone does ever take a look, even just at parts or briefly scanning through sections or catching a few words or sentences here and there, and there is a whole lot that I sift through which I make no note of anywhere, except perhaps my mind, and sometimes that may come into play later or it might not at all.

Even though that has not changed as a daily exercise, it still feels worse and as though it is more difficult to care about sny of that or feel pleased or amused by any of it.

I feel pretty powerless and so I'm just mainly very unhappy and what I've connected my mood to does not look like it is going to be resolved in my favor, but it is hard to ignore and depressing reminders are very difficult to completely close out, plus I remember, know, and suspect still, even if I try to turn a blind eye to the things bothering me.

So much bothers me and has been bothering me, but the non-stop mass murdering going on, against civilians and children, just really doesn't make me feel very chipper and fit to whistle my way to the mines, in whatever form they may take, like if there was a choice between just laying around like a dry corpse or mustering some effort to go out and get groceries or something, unless that is a last resort at the last moment, I choose the least painful and laborious thing, so laying around motionless for as long as possible. I suspect, for those who can afford it, that this tempting vegetative state is opted for more often by more people overall during times of being barraged and bombarded with news and following internal horror show simulations of people being traumatized and suffering.gggggggr

Hahaha, that last part was me falling asleep and dropping the phone but catching it and also my laugh was purely digital and didn't occur in real life.

With media, there might have been dome things that I sort of had wanted to see or others which I've started but not completed, bhhg

Lol, it happened again, and the laugh indicator was purely digital again.

So how do you all find that you are able to function? Do you notice yourselves putting in more effort into projects or less while feeling like this, if you ever have, or feeling bad? I think it has been

Uh oh, another problem to burden me, now the other phone has the screen turning off and not turning on, just like this phone had screen problems which have made using it more difficult, which is perhaps for the best and to save me.

I'm a bit scared or uncomfortable going out these days in case some freakos besides the killer druggies and violent de-institutionalized mental cases are out and about and agitated by the constant anti-human news. So it is often somewhat dangerous and increasingly so over the years, but I'm also worried about people trying to create incidents at around these times, as they seem to get a memo each time and go out into public a lot more than I ever ususlly see them otherwise, and they go around terrorizing people who are just walking around peacefully minding their own business, it is really strange but intimidating and not really something I want to even accidentally risk getting pulled into. I'm safest, most likely, headed towards the more East Asian areas rather than Downtown, but they are popping up all over again, but probably mostly in more populated areas as one gets closer to downtown. It is annoying though, like they can't even just let it be far away, they bring the mischief to every major city that they can, to try to stir things, create incidents as opportunities, doing all their political and spy games.

So I've been avoiding going out much, now for years, ever since the freaks have been so active. When they try to stare or are picking fights with total strangers, I have to try to just keep my head down and avoid any notice or response even if they try to engage. This is bullying, it goes on constantly, like they are really into trying to get into fights or something, and I've never seen anything like it before with any of the prior conflicts in the world up until now. So the places I can go are even somewhat limited for safety or avoiding possibly running into any one of these bullies and agitators getting off on terror and seemingly total impunity. That is not a world I feel like participating in or investing in or showing myself in or parts of myself or expression in, like through things I like or my own efforts.

So mainly I find myself just sitting at home now for the most part, avoiding as much as I can, and wishing for all these bad things, both those burdening me more directly for years, unresolved, and these annoying and totally demotivating things like "everyone is being killed and we're coming with robots yo kill you and your loved ones too", to come to an end, and wishing ill naturally and automatically on all those things that are making my existence miserable. Somehow, I still have retained good humor, and laugh about things every day and most of the day, and joke around, and inside I always feel very stable, calm, and happy, while feeling angry about all the evil stuff going on and frustrated and sad simultaneously, but especially when some reminder creeps in.

My costochondritis thing, or what I think is probably that, that seemed to have started slightly a decade ago and also seems to be back, maybe made worse by not moving much now, makes it so that if I even move quickly ir repeatedly, like even just walking quickly like I naturally would do, my chest starts burning and hurting a lot with searing pain that I really have to stop and then the pain persists until it slowly fades. Now if some incident occurs outside, which would normally require that I run, I can barely run for long before stopped by the intensity of the pain, so even if a fireball was chasing me I'd have to figure out something else possibly once running is quickly exhausted, and the same if I would have to fight off people, I'm better off just standing there than even trying to escape, so fight or flight and the flight has departed. Luckily, mainly nothing has happened, except some freaks trying to bother me or pick fights, very rarely, but it is always very disturbing to experience such a thing and leaves a lasting impression and bad taste about certain places and areas ruined by unpleasant encounters.

In those places I stay, I have acquired and collected tons of materials to enjoy, except I haven't evrn been able to touch or enjoy anything for years now, since it has just seemingly been very limited days filled with bad feelings and bad news, so that I never find the time or have the feeling.

Still, I've managed to post huge amounts of text and collect other things for years, in various places, now pretty much exclusively here. The place I was typing at last, a private forum, miraculously had me convince the artistic person to become motivated again and that led to them not spending any more time on the site, so this is the only place that there is any activity that might motivate me enough to write and collect anything.

What would I be doing, if not writing here? Maybe even less, just totally stunned, eyes opened, eyes closed, grateful for any time that I can just lay here stunned, but dreading any thought of a future where that luxury isn't evrn available anymore, which eould probably really make me even more unhappy and listless, and uncooperative feeling than I already feel, and I'd want to exit and be relieved at the hope in an exit eventually, where death would be my fondest daydream, so what kind of a life is that?

So I'm hoping other people are somehow able to do something that would move me more towards happiness, and I won't be able to assist in the slightest, but I hope random strangers can go crazy enough to start improving the world situation and stopping all these bad things and bad futures and bad plans for ordinary people, so that I can freaking move more than my eyeballs.





I guess they were aiming too high for the child they were trying to murder in that music video.



It is almost like these people need this stuff to exist in order to do their show. I don't think any of this stuff needs to exist at all, and I don't think it should, and I think people should not compromise and should treat an ongoing war against humanity and ordinary people as a proper war, where these people don't just arrest and abuse and torture everyone and then go home and have a home to go to after clocking out and changing out of their uniform. People are taught to respect and protect the people who are helping to protect and defend those ruining do many lives, they are the army of those opposed to human safety and dignity.

I saw a video where an old woman, most likely a nasty old woman but still, was arrested in Florida where the officer mentioned a law called being arrested for resisting without violence, lol, so they wrote to themselves "we have the right to arrest anyone we see fit to, if we determine that they are in any way being resistant or non-compliant, even without any violence or threat or violent action, even without any crime or infraction, the infraction being that they are deemed resistant somehow or in any way".

So, a society like that, why would anyone want to do anything more than the bare minimum to survive, as every effort just keeps it propped up perpetually and nothing is being done yo fully and thoroughly dismantle it in such a way that it might be more likely to last very long or, fingers crossed, forever. All those people who were complicit in harming people with the assistance of corrupt judges, all that should be considered as void as one would consider the rulings of tyrannical N*z* judges or the decisions made by a hostile invading force.





Is* overkill is turning off the people who thought this was about stealing resources, they don't want the resources damaged.

I can only hope these utterly dangerous forces, all run by Z freaks mainly, all implode disastrously for them, whether A.I. militarism and policing to terrorize human, or other forms of creating utter fear everywhere, everyone without question should at the very least wish people intending harm on the world populace and creating forces that can't be fought off or resisted, maximum ill for working incessantly at such wicked malicious plots.

I hope everyone realizes that they are sabotaging even those things the other elites want, and so they are not good to have around in any way, and to strip them of A.I., policy making, law making, authority, everything, even their wealth which they use for harm that encompasses the elites who thought they and their stolen assets were protected and thst mad criminals could be trusted around their resources or those they want to acquire, no, not unless one wants to hand over literally everything to a group of complete lunatics.
