Claymen have always existed and have always been the majority, but the difference in today's mirrored world is that the masses live as simulated royals and aristocrats. Instead of claymen of the past busying themselves with farming, fishing, commerce, religion, they busy themselves with politics, ideology and short term fashionable movements and trends, just like the few elites of the past had the privilege of.

Fuelled by their genuine empty lives devoid of risk and real meaning. There's a well known phenomena of the bourgeoisie to larp as poor and struggling people, they sparked the early socialist revolutions in France during the french revolution, on the other side you had the "Hameau de la Reine" by Marie Antoinette.

I believe in our modern lives we also struggle with this emptiness of meaning, and we see these same pattern emerge in a large unstoppable scale, where the delusions of the past elites is now the norm for every clay man and woman. It's a symptom of emptiness and meaninglessness and is extremely self-destructive.

The aristocrats of the old and the modern mass claymen of today share so many virtues: Jumping on retarded trends in fashion. Obsession with appearances and status. Extravagant consumption and waste. Gets involved in politics. Extreme virtue signalling. Is extremely narrow minded and self-centered.

Think they know everything (smug) and look down upon the uneducated but at the same time: Feels like they are the saviour and a spokesperson of the poor. Fragility and decadence.

I feel the general indifference I perceive in people as a result of their connections to the real world decreasing. Even a simple poor and uneducated farmer/peasant could rise up and realize the state he is in. The connection to family, religion, individual culture, and the world outside of the metropolis are all rapidly eroding and those who attempt to defend what is being lost are mocked & ignored.

This is shown as well in the reluctance on both sides to even advocate for the (idea) of violent means, as if any lasting revolution has used non-violence and worked. Most claymen refuse to believe that we are in such a state of spiritual warfare.

The victors rot in perfect comfort. To add to @fauux, in previous cycles of history, decadence overtook the aristocratic and disconnected them from reality, hedonism became 'art' and they blindly decayed (mold era). This is the first time in history where the class of elites has grown so large it has become disconnected from itself, a fracture into subclasses, as it were.

We may be deeply tamed, but we are still an aristocracy by warped definition. A king of old would envy our luxuries. We work abstractly, our creations have little to do with the Earth we stand on. Because of this, the decay is, and shall continue to be, widespread. There is a fractalline mockery of castes within this, however, with self-indulgent rot at each level. One man controls another, and so onโฆ

As to say, there is no longer a single class of decadent decayers, but a crude form of hierarchy for every group.

Often being clay is about cowardice, risking stagnation for invulnerability to mold. One can live a great life without โmeaning,โ but one cannot live well without โpurpose.โ I am here because one day I woke up, I will continue to be here because Iโd like to see what happens next.

Good stuff. I'm curious what apocalyptic events you have in mind. The most likely in my opinion is peak oil, i.e. reaching a state where the oil reserves still present are infeasible to mine. Considering how much the world depends on it for transportation alone it would be disastrous in my opinion. I'm not talking about climate here, only logistics problems. Also, funny how zersetzung is basically gangstalking.

Contemplations such as these have slowly been itching away at the surface of my being for some time now. The indifference with which we have been nearly genetically altered to feel is a final result of the perfect oppression designed with mass media, surveillance, deconstructionism etc. Our lack of will to change this is only a continuing worship of the system as put in Industrial Society and Its Consequences.

The most damning piece of the modern human experience is dependancy upon these systems and defence of them. Whichever old remnants of American Revolutionist thinking has nearly died off entirely due the construct of trust in democracy and other systems of leadership/roles in society. The shadows spread across the city with an inestimable reach. Our long road of blind sacrifice.

The closest you can have to escape from the Modern Leviathan (within this generation) would be parallel communities, akin to the ones in South Africa. The tendrils of the Committee reach everywhere, so no one particular country is safe, but it's more likely you would get a Waco scenario if you tried doing this in the West. Failing Waco-ification, you will get infiltrators, or infiltrating memes to destroy the psyche.

Both this writing and many of these comments inspire hope. The number of people who can clearly see the problems and are sincerely trying to address them with compassion for others is increasing. The Leviathan is sustained by inertia. It will eventually topple under its own weight. I shall be engaged in behaviors as constructive as I can possibly muster within the meantime.

A tangent on the cult of the self: i always find it kind of repulsive when an interviewer inevitably asks an artist โas an [x person], how does your art express your unique experience?โ Why is art always reduced to mere self expression? Does anyone sign their music SOLI DEO GLORIA and truly mean it? Itโs not necessarily the artistโs fault, the very system in which art is now experienced is glory to something else

one must question the very nature of good and evil. the existence of evil people justifies the existence of the greatest evil cosplaying as good (govt). to be purely good is to not resist evil, but does that allow evil to flourish? one must sink into the abyss to truly combat evil...

Paradoxically lucifer as the bringer of light highlights this, many myths include serpent/satanic figures giving fire or technology to human beings, purifying the mystery of the world. It feels to me that there is a holiness within the darkness, something boundless inside of the shadows, a reflection of the sacred balance perhaps.

agreed that one cannot count on divine judgement. also, w.r.t to government, it sometimes seems the current government works the same as homeostasis: there is no other configuration with everyone "in play" today. thinking this way makes it easy to check out entirely (ยด๏ฝฅฯ๏ฝฅ`)
