My Dear Raventrap ~
Your observations are indeed becoming more astute. It’s amazing how we can lead our clients to believe “freedom” basically means license ~ the right to do whatever they want to do, simply because they want to do it. Over the centuries, we have acquired countless contracts from humans who thought they had a “right” to do this or that, regardless of how their choices affected others. All we have to do is keep them from thinking they are also free to choose to do something that might benefit others as well as themselves. Even while freedom is one of their cherished ideals, it can easily be perverted to become self-indulgence. For example, if they ever stop to consider their freedom to own ballistic weapons means thousands will die meaningless deaths each year, they might just rethink their “right” to do so.
For every freedom there is a cost. “What’s His Name” knows this exceptionally well, but many of the conniving cockroaches don’t want to know when their freedom has cost someone else’s life, so they defiantly demand their individual rights to be served. Our clients naturally want to be free to have what others have, to capitalize on certain privileges, and so on. Let’s not let them realize there is such a thing as freedom to give as well as to take, or freedom to serve as well as be served. Our Competitor would have them “serve one another in love.” We must make sure they use their freedom to serve only themselves.
On Earth as in Hell, life is all about choices. Our goal is to see to it our clients’ choices are based on utter illusion. In this game we can do one of two things. We can instigate the proliferation of so many choices our clients become confused, give up, and make the same mindless choices over and over again; or we can reduce the field of choices to two that are nearly identical. Either way they are boxed in ~ we will have created the illusion of choice, where no real choice exists. In more affluent parts of the Earth, we can conjure up so many variations and manifestations of the same product that it makes little difference which one our clients choose; meanwhile they will agonize over their choices instead of doing something more important with their time.
The most common example of reduced choice is the two-party system. We know damned well there is no real choice there, and in their most observant moments the little weevils know this too. So we must make it seem like our clients have a choice. This is why the COD invented “wedge issues” ~ and why our clients often claim to vote for “the lesser of two evils.” Ha! What a preposterous way to choose! Our Competitor would of course prefer it if they used their free will to vote for the best candidate possible, not the least objectionable of only two. Meanwhile, we can manufacture all sorts of pretexts to vote against both, clouding our clients’ judgment and making their choice virtually meaningless in the end.
We can also use our clients’ fears to foreclose real choice. The more in debt we can entice them to become, the more they will fear losing their livelihood, the more they will put up with bad treatment at the office, the worse they will feel about themselves, until at last they give in to rage or despair and sign their contracts over to us. In this connection, it’s best for us to enslave them with their possessions along with their debt and their low-paying, but desperately needed jobs. Remember, a cornered animal becomes vicious, and a caged animal will give up in due time. Either way, we win. For example, our clients seldom realize the things they think they own actually own them ~ until it’s too late. Add in overarching fears ~ such as terrorism, government surveillance, immigrants, natural disasters, crime, accidents ~ and many of your clients will come to believe either they must strike out at their captors, or they have “no other choice” but to live in fear ~ so they will just keep their heads down and their mouths shut and do their damned jobs.
Our Competitor has consistently told the little ragamuffins to “have no fear,” as if that will make much difference in the long run. However, we know His advice occasionally works. In this arena, the only thing we have to fear is our clients’ lack of fear. A fearless client feels free to make choices, and some of those choices may not involve the work of The Corporation. So, by all means, feed their fears and they will come closer to us. Sometimes they may not even realize they were at one time free to choose Our Competitor’s Company!
One clever way to reduce freedom while maintaining its appearance is to tempt our clients to choose for others, rather than letting others choose for themselves. While some choices may be beneficial for all concerned, such as requiring everyone to stop at red lights or pay their utility bills, other choices can easily become tyranny. For example, a lot of frustration and suffering can result when one generation by their action ~ or inaction ~ forces subsequent generations to live with prior choices. As I wrote about climate change, it’s fairly easy to make the next generation pay for the mistakes of the past. By keeping our clients focused on the “here and now” without regard to the future, we can con them into making an array of choices that will end up enslaving their grandchildren’s grandchildren ~ all the more contracts for us ~ in the future!
Another way to create the illusion of choice is to promote the art of perpetual procrastination. The longer we influence our clients to defer action, to put off important choices, the more limited their choices will become. By the time they are pretty much forced to make a decision, they will become absolutely certain they had “no other choice” than to take drastic action. Never mind the fact that the difficult choices they “had to make” were set-up by a succession of poor choices or non-choices. They will believe their present painful choices were somehow “inevitable.” In fact, they will dutifully take credit for making the “tough choices” without ever realizing they’ve been shirking their duty for months or years.
Of course, we can also make a lot of sport convincing some of our clients it’s their responsibility to force others to do things their way. This is easy if they already believe they are somehow superior ~ mentally, morally, spiritually, educationally, economically. If so, it’s only a short hop to getting them to believe they therefore have more of a right to choose than others. It doesn’t matter what the choice is ~ friendships, marriage partners, employers, religions, diets, activities ~ as long as some believe it’s their “obligation” to choose instead of allowing those deficient others to choose, to force them to conform to their idea of “normal,” whatever in Hell that may be, we are well on the way to claiming their contracts. For example, many of the little pustules claim to believe in “freedom of speech.” That’s fine, as long as they also believe in this kind of freedom for themselves, but not for others. The bottom line: at no point should they be allowed to see that making their own choices is difficult enough without trying to make choices for others as well.
The DODD has virtually assured us many of the unthinking masses believe the word, “freedom,” means “our kind” is free to do as they choose regardless of how our choices affect “their kind.” So, in the name of “freedom,” white humans can feel their rights are more important than the rights of “colored” humans, and business leaders can feel justified in polluting the air and water, endangering employees as well as customers, and generally ignoring the consequences of low wages and lack of support for the health and well-being of their kind. After all, our kind must be free to pursue their happiness, which is to say our right to make a greater profit. Their kind are of course “free” to die without adequate safety protections on the job or without adequate health care. Their kind are “free” to go bankrupt trying to take care of their own medical expenses ~ too bad they didn’t figure out how to make a big profit ~ they were “free” to do so! Their kind are “free” to clean up the mess our kind has made of things, potentially for hundreds of years in the future. Our kind are also “free” to live in a country that protects our freedoms, while their kind are “free” to die in countries that offer no such protection ~ and our kind are “free” to keep their kind out. This definition of freedom has been, and will continue to be, a boon for The Corporation. The suffering and strife caused by our clients’ belief in “freedom” to do whatever they desire without the burden of thinking about others has led millions to surrender their contracts to us.
The importance of choice is as clear in their world as it is in ours. If we make the right choices, contracts will literally fall into our hands, but if we make the wrong choices, our clients will become free to make better choices for themselves ~ better friends, better jobs, better habits, better consideration of how their choices affect others ~ all of which might bring them closer to Our Competitor. It’s up to us to make sure they choose poorly, for themselves and others, and become aware of the consequences of their choices only after their contracts are securely in the hands of Our Executive.
Your Devoted Cousin,
Bloodstone
