Syme

+

+ No no sillyo. I am not talking about revolution vs reform. Talking about + something quite different. There is the stereotype common people who + willingly uphold the power are stupid. The idea is anyone who can reason + would conclude the power is a purely narcissist force who only aim for + control. Stereotypes indeed rarely if ever hold up when put to the test and + this is no exception. In a quite well known book there is a character named + Syme. Syme is one of the people behind creating newspeak. Syme is a very + intelligent person and sees right through the party yet he is one of the + most orthodox and loyal followers of the party. He constantly talks about + how his work is helping the party limit the range of thought. With every + cell in his body he supports and actively contributes to a system that only + aims to control him. The party ends up vaporizing him for knowing too much + even though he was one of the most loyal and orthodox person around. +

Where is the totalitarianism?

+

+ The conclusion of many more traditionalist beliefs in theory seems to be + totalitarianism as we know it. Traditional has a prerendered concept of + what society should look like and demands it conforms to that shape no + matter what. It demands leaders who have these views ingrained into them + and demands power gets exercised to enforce this image. Laws exist only + for the reason of upholding this image. To pass bills the only available + framework is arguing for how it will contribute to upholding the image. How + come is it that the traditionalists would bother to even make pricy jails + when their supporters would be perfectly happy shooting the unemployed? Go + ahead and search up morals. Morals has a quite bending meaning as it only + aims to define what is right and wrong in the context of any given + system. So many people who bluntly only support the demands of + traditionalist at the same time will preach freedoms and liberties. These + freedom and liberties seem to fundamentally clash with everything + traditionalism stands for. +
