The Radical and Conservative

just doing my job
I was reading a recent post to an alternative news site on the hub and it got me thinking, not in the intended direction but in an allied direction. The intro covered the similarity between today's cops (or pigs) and the Nazi thugs of yesterday whose universal defence at Nuremberg was -- and how many times have we heard it since -- "I was just following orders?" Indeed, and what does that excuse veil or spell out to the letter, C-O-N-S-E-R-V-A-T-I-V-E philosophy in action. Conservatism conveniently supplies the excuses cowards and psychopaths hide behind in order to vent their violent psychopathology and avoid taking responsibility for THEIR actions.
Police say, as they did in Nazi Germany, 'I'm just doing my job enforcing the L-A-W, notwithstanding that the law is an ass and is sometimes legislated by criminals who have hijacked government, as was the case in Nazi Germany and IS the case in modern America TODAY -- presidential (mafia) 'kill lists,' indeed!
Now, I only wish to stimulate creative thought in readers NOT spoon feed, as is the habit of today's mass media; I respect you as reader, and your ability to discern good from bad, especially when it is as obvious as it is today.
However, I would (hopefully) assist readers by making comparisons and drawing on examples and verifiable evidence. The standard I refer to is unassailable in its integrity, accuracy and success -- it is universal infinite creation in action, the natural world or cosmos! And that ain't kicking shit, baby!
I am intentionally avoiding all unverifiable myth based systems of cultural unreality, religion for example, which encompasses modern medicine and science etc! Instead we will favour and focus on that which provides verifiable evidence/PROOF of REALITY itself!
Now, as the title to this piece alludes, we would direct our focus on the difference between fearful, brutal and violent conservatives and free-loving, creative radicals.
A social conservative by definition worships uniformity, the predictable and predetermined. Conservatives dislike surprises or the unpredictable and they posses a morbid fear of RADICAL change!
Everything must be nicely laid out, 'everything in its place and a place for everything,' my friend's mother used to repeat like the conservative automaton she was, though she was completely unaware of her Southern Baptist fashioned ideological analism.
Conservatives fear radical change to such an extent they would readily kill and commit the most abhorrent crimes in order to preserve 'their anal order' -- "behead those that insult Islam," or "indefinitely detain" those we suspect of non-conformity or dissent. Conservatism is a control freaks PATHOLOGICAL paradise!
Now consider the RADICAL nature of the natural world, which conservatives view as a threat or enemy, remember we are encouraged by the God of the three Abrahamic religions to "SUBDUE" the earth -- such is the FEAR conservative Muslims, Christians and Jews -- the most perverse religions in the world -- have of the natural world (natural instincts).
Nothing in the natural infinite universe is repeated or uniform, everything is UNIQUE or different, not one grain of sand is identical to another and (sometimes explosive) change is the NATURAL order of the day! Contrast the radical natural world with the anti-natural prescriptive 'order' of anal conservatives to appreciate the irreconcilable difference. It should be noted however, that this is an age-old binary opposition which was originally encoded in myth by the ancient Greeks, the form-loving 'order' of Apollo as against the radical formlessness and wild abandon of Dionysus!
At any stage in social evolution if either force or tendency overshadows/overwhelms the other then society inevitably falls or becomes profoundly lost, as has clearly occurred today. Conservatism, is now the unquestioned/unassailable dominant ideology of the entire world, it is behind ALL the fundamentalist religions and extremist political systems and is now ready to implode due to the LACK of a necessary RADICAL counter-balance.
If we do not restore balance then nature, the supreme harmonising force, will do it for us.
Before I leave you to ruminate, I would also draw your attention to the fact that WAR is the ultimate conservative remedy to all social problems - the 'war' on drugs, crime, poverty, Yugoslavia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, etc, etc; whereas intuitive, creative abandon is the solution for/of 'RADICALS' -- now make YOUR informed choice.
