Oppression is the opiate of the masses |
|
People generally get off on it |
|
Those at the bottom thrive under conditions of oppression |
|
And those at the top revel in imposing such conditions |
|
Human nature demands it |
|
Society, exactly as it now exists |
|
Is the ultimate expression of sadomasochism in action |
|
This isn't S&M as a mere game |
|
There's no role-playing involved |
|
The roles are all real |
|
With real masters and real servants |
|
There's no dressing up required to be a player in this enactment |
|
You don't have to wear your handkerchief in a certain pocket to signal your position as a sadist or masochist either |
|
You simply assume the position |
|
This is sadomasochism not as a fetish, but in practical application |
|
The sting of the riding crop is replaced by a more generalized sort of malaise |
|
But when all is said and done |
|
It is still an expression of people luxuriating in pain and submission |
|
To say that people love to suffer is viewed as decadent cynicism by many |
|
But a cursory glance at the world around us would definitely seem to support such a thesis |
|
How telling it is that even in the context of a system created in absolute ignorance of man's true character |
|
He remains true to his nature regardless |
