NEFX - "Currency of Atrocity" The deliberate endurance of, and engagement with, atrocity on top of fear or pain is a common means by which to justify and leverage further atrocity on a grander scale and as a distant and mostly out-of-sight venture, with the notion that conditions of a non-engaging third party would otherwise be much lesser or perhaps even subject instead to the atrocities of another. Even ignoring the actual collateral damage of such wages, relative to intended effect or not, this is untrue. Freedom of being cannot be secured where it is habitually according to Erosive territorialist logic and against being itself as a (wrongly supposedly) pre-determined static thing. The very logic (however subconscious and inchoate) by which atrocity is carried out annuls its supposed justification as a precondition to liberty of being. Where lie the supposed liberty of the third party Blightgeist subject but in the continual settling for incomplete existence in which satisfaction consists primarily of not being a perceived Other, and the various ramifications and (however not consciously noticed) sufferances of Blightgeistian existence that acts so? Beings are free insofar as they flourish and are duly respected as being, not as another maintains a hegemony of being borne of the tormented beings whose conception of being is in the standing atop another. At the core, atrocity is conditioned as a means of currency under the Blightgeist, wherein those who most endure it (mind you, in a largely culturally codified barometer of pain, let alone righteous pain) are considered (whether by themselves, outsiders, or both) to be so deserving of reprieve that their whims and wishes be law, even though such are in the first place heavily influenced by their conditioners into deeds of atrocity; and where a very base that conditions and employs them for engagement with atrocity most speaks of the supposed righteousness of their cause, it can be commonly humanly tempting for the atrocity participant to, so to speak, run into the comforting arms of said cheerers. To this end, many compromise their very humanity (Light core) to aid in this cause, with the hollow vacuities of liberty as mere dressing for the fulfillment of generally Erosive purposes, not least of all in the planned future leverage of their own will by the pervasive and powerful justification of their endurance of atrocity in all of its slings. Therein lies much of the irony of the Blightgeist’s system of atrocity — it is allegedly endured for the sake of a notion of unfettered maximal being that not only is ironically mandatory, but is to be taken at the Blightgeist’s word as this being, as freedom itself, and which forbids any questioning of the methods by which it is supposedly arrived at; even if those very means call into question the validity of the cause and whether such actions by their nature could truly serve it. The greater the atrocity endured in the name of the ideal of territoriality — be it in the first place started or willingly engaged with — the less questionable is the very enterprise of atrocity itself under the Blightgeist; and it is here (among other places) that the use of societally ordained law and principle as a mere ordinance to be followed by the more societally disadvantaged for the ultimate service of societally advantaged...reveals itself. Erosive Thoughtform paradoxically hungers both for protection and will-realization by a chosen cudgeler class and an emancipation therefrom by the imagined glory of a solitary forceful might. It cannot stand its own law. Such aforementioned atrocity endured should alert all to the invalidity of the system that calls for it, even if only in its net damages to its hailed participants — but the mere seeming possibility of conditions plunging without the engagement by someone somewhere with the supposed duties of atrocity frightens most of the Blightgeist’s subjects into a degree of agreement with it in a way that ironically most ensures the ruin of its valorized objects anyway. Yet it is this ruin and ruination that maintains the valorization, as if in a sadistically abusive relationship with them in which only the most beleaguered (namely, dead, to-be-born-for-service, or literally or figuratively dying) are most validated, and it is primarily fear of the tides of atrocity turning upon them that impels subjects of the Blightgeist to atrocity’s justification. From this point, any of the Blightgeist’s latest endeavors in the enterprise of atrocity gain large support. Its subjects underestimate the cost to their beings both individually and collectively in supporting this, and the long-term consequences of the sustained atrocity enterprise. To the Blightgeist subject — and indeed, to the common mortal judgment of the human mind — a cause so thoroughly suffered for cannot be but true and right, or otherwise their ventures are invalidated. However, this in itself is a symptom of Blightgeistian thought, partly in the sense that it fails to see this most harrowing and brutal lesson as a source of unique perspective on the nature of power (legitimate or not) that can take beings beyond the system in which they are currently ensconced, as serving that end rather than the one it was supposedly meant for. Ideally, of course, a subject would not be so swayed into institutions of atrocity at all, recognizing them as tentacles of an ultimately mercenary cabal. However, pending such potent and widespread enlightenment as to recognize this, the conditional “necessity" of learning this the hard way can serve as a phase in developed cultural-historical consciousness towards Lightform.
