Wherever you look they are always there, carrying their small minds, small problems and small personalities as if it was a trophy. They have conquered the world and now they try to conquer the minds of their guardians. They want to shape their guardians into statues of themselves, they aim at the global conformity. Everyone ought to be like them, they say, because they are the rulers of the world. Their interests, their problems and their personalities must overtake the world. They are the masses, the 'common people'. Their guardians are the few people who own the precious ability to think. This is the hard and brutal truth of today, exposed and presented without mercy. The mass-man of today is ignorant, but he does not understand that. On the contrary; the mass-man thinks of himself as a very aware and open-minded individual. He truly believes that his problems must be solved, since the future well-being of the world rests upon them. As a child cries and thinks the world has fallen apart when a toy is broken, the mass-man sees his agony as justified. The mass-man thinks he is unique, because the masses keep telling each other so. In fact, he is not unique: he is a mass-man, a part of the masses, a part of the cancer that has swallowed society. Do not flatter yourself with the belief that you have come to the conclusion that the masses are the workers, the uneducated or the poor. If you believe so, you are terribly wrong. Education, wealth or social status is no criteria on who is a mass-man or who is not. The mass-men does not even have to share the same ideas or ideologies. On the surface, they might look like completely different persons, but when you find the fundamental grounds you will see that they are all the same. They just dress themselves and their thoughts differently. The real individuals, the real owners of the real problems, the real owners of real knowledge are the guardians. The guardians may look like mass-men, but in their minds you will not, as in the mass-man, find simplicity but complexity. Do not mix this form of 'complexity' with the concept of 'confusion.' The guardian is a very aware person. He sees right through the simple questions and the simple answers. He knows that the world is complex, but he strives to understand this complexity. He does not, as the mass-man does, worship simple dogmas in any form. He loves knowledge and he constantly tries to reach the utopia of full understanding. The guardian need not to be a scientist, because scientists are often the worst mass-men of all. The guardian trusts his sight and his mind. The mass-man can never understand how the guardians think. But the guardians know very well the anatomy of the masses, and the mass-man. The guardians are not popular among the masses. In fact, the worst enemy to be found for a mass-man is a guardian. Looking at the guardian, the mass-man will not see himself. He will see a stranger. The mass-man gains no support for his simple views of the world from the guardian. Instead, he will be silenced. The guardian will explain why the mass-man is wrong, and not only that - he will also reveal that the mass-man is a part of the masses. This is too much for the mass-man. He will refuse to listen. He will accuse the guardian of blasphemy, he will claim that the guardian plays with words, he will use violence to keep the guardian away from him and the masses. The guardian, however, will not be shocked. He knows the mass-man, and he knows why they react the way they do. Still, he will keep on guarding them. The guardians guard the masses. Knowledge is sought by the guardians. They want to build a better world, not because they love the masses, but because they care. They pity the mass-man, but they will not turn their backs on them. The guardians are no cynics. Those who throw cynical thoughts around them are mass-men who believe that they are intellectual, that they have 'seen through it all.' The mass-man has no moral. He just wants to satisfy his primitive drives, nothing else. He need not to learn anything, because he knows everything there is to know in his little world. Violence is his only way of communication. Totalitarianism and laws, upholded by other mass-men, makes him feel secure. Their enemies are freedom, knowledge and everything else that might throw them out of their 'safe' world. Hence, the worst enemy of them all is the guardian, because he refuses to enter their sphere. The guardian has stepped out of the mass-men's sphere, to find the truth and to protect the masses meanwhile. The masses must be protected. If they were not, the world would soon fall apart. The guardians keep the mass-man alive. They do it because they are benevolent and caring people. They will never be appreciated, because the masses are not aware of the guardians' function. This does not matter: the guardians are proud people, fully aware of their noble mission, they need no extra encouragement. The very knowledge that the guardians are trying to wipe out stupidity in favor for a clear and open mind, is enough for them. Last, if it by some reason should not be perfectly obvious from whom the masses need to be protected, I will reveal the simple, but yet true, answer: from themselves. --- Of course, no one will admit that he is a mass-man. This is, by definition of 'mass-man', impossible. Instead, all people will place themselves in the sphere of the guardians. I suppose you, who read this file, have already done that. But if you did not know that you were a part of the guardians before you read this file, then I must unfortunately inform you that you are not, and never will be. ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// bad start car crash now wreck Right on the money: ETEXT.ARCHIVE.UMICH.EDU /pub/Zines/UXU \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ Fancy a professional foul? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- uXu #278 Underground eXperts United 1995 uXu #278 Call RIPCO ][ -> +1-312-528-5020 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
