evil | Remainders

Morpheus initiates Neo:

Let me tell you why you’re here. You’re here because you know something. What you know you can’t explain. But you feel it. You’ve felt it your entire life. That there’s something wrong with the world. You don’t know what it is but it’s there, like a splinter in your mind driving you mad. It is this feeling that has brought you to me.

I have always felt there was something fundamentally awry with the world. It is why I could never have been a peace & love hippy; I felt that the world was a war, and I was myself at war with either the world or large & powerful elements therein.

As an old dog of advancing years, I am sure there is something metaphysically wrong with the world; and all therein – which includes myself. So, I am at war with myself also.

I was not the first to feel so.

For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good. Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.

(Romans 7. 14-19)

or, auf Deutsch:

Denn wir wissen, daß das Gesetz geistlich ist; ich aber bin fleischlich, unter die Sünde verkauft. Denn ich weiß nicht, was ich tue. Denn ich tue nicht, was ich will; sondern was ich hasse, das tue ich. Wenn ich aber das tue, was ich nicht will, so gebe ich zu, daß das Gesetz gut ist. So tue nun nicht ich es, sondern die Sünde, die in mir wohnt. Denn ich weiß, daß in mir, das heißt in meinem Fleisch*, nichts Gutes wohnt. Wollen habe ich wohl, aber das Gute vollbringen kann ich nicht. Denn das Gute, das ich will, das tue ich nicht; sondern das Böse, das ich nicht will, das tue ich. Wenn ich aber tue, was ich nicht will, so tue nicht ich es, sondern die Sünde, die in mir wohnt.

If, as I believe, the world is essentially corrupted by evil (and the world is all that is the case, Die Welt ist alles was der Fall ist) then this is true not merely for oddball Quiggs such as myself, but for Steve and Dave, Rich, Eric, and Todd, all the normies. They are merely unaware, because their nature is more aligned to the world’s. They strive to remain in ignorance, to believe the world and the powers that be are right & good, in spite of considerably evidence; they devote themselves to the illusion of comfort. Eppur si muove.

In American politics, the essential conflict & evil is being raised to the surface of even normie consciousness. Q has worked for the last 2.5 years to create awareness of the secret war, against not merely Democrat corruption but literal Satanists

and paedophiles. This is one inadvertent use of evil: to awaken the non-evil. As Q posted, after these pictures:

These people need to ALL be ELIMINATED.

Those who know cannot sleep.

Perhaps, in such a light, the grim look on Trump’s face makes more sense here:

knowing what he knows, having seen what he has seen, to be questioned by sneering left-wing propagandists, who would titter at a raped child and then go for a frappuccino, must be galling.

Meanwhile major US cities are ablaze, with hordes of Antifa and assorted criminals burning, looting, and murdering while the police stand back with folded arms. It seems to me that everyone is being brought to an awareness that the world is not, in fact, a jolly pleasant place where good chaps get ahead, but rather a warzone of insane violence & evil.

The Leftists will presumably blame Orange Man Bad for everything, including left-wing terrorists burning down their neighbourhoods while left-wing politicians instruct the police to stand down. For Johnny Prog, the evil in the world is due to white racism and can only be remedied by subjugating and/or exterminating the white race and certain of its productions (chiefly Christianity). That many of these progs are themselves white, of pure Germanic/Scandinavian stock, makes no difference at all.

For the rest, the sense of evil is more complex: contra the tediously fixated anti-semites, our ills cannot be traced to one race or ideology (even if one particular race is vastly over-represented). In a sense, the Q project is Pizzagate writ large – to awaken people to the widespread evil of our elites; and to direct that awareness.

My guess is that the 2020 American election will be a battle of competing blaming: between the progs who know Orange Man Bad is responsible for everything bad that ever happened; and those who (however faintly) discern the corruption of not merely politics but of the world itself, and who see the financial & cultural & political elites lining up to attack Orange Man Bad, and think, “well if the world has long been full of evil and spiritual wickedness in high places, if the elite is full of paedophiles and Satanists, and now CNN and the New York Times and George W Bush and Obama are attacking Orange Man Bad, then maybe Orange Man Bad is actually Orange Man Good.”

If the full details on Anthony Weiner’s laptop are released before November, it could set the progressives to make a hard choice – between recognising the evil of paedophilia, and the wholly invented evil of Orange Man Bad; I am frankly baffled that anyone could see Trump as evil – an obnoxious, abrasive asshole, yes, but evil…?

One way or another the American people will have to face evil, the flaw in the world.

For this reason, I think there will also be a religious revival, most likely Christianity since it is familiar, and it addresses evil, indeed places evil at the centre of its theology.

Apologies for scant blogging, I’m overwhelmed with work & humanity, barely able to function with people demanding my emotions at every turn. However, one anecdote from work last week: I was talking to an Italian architect woman with an austistic son, she herself strikes me as “on the spectrum” and is an unpleasant, shrewish creature; I mentioned the great Hundertwasser and she scoffed that he isn’t a good architect; she told me that, among modern architects, Le Corbusier is a great architect, and she would love to live in one of his buildings. “Really?” I said, alarmed, since not even Le Corbusier wanted to live in one of his buildings; indeed, as far as I’m aware none of these hideous modern architects chose to live in modern housing, preferring for some inexplicable reason classical houses of a modest, human scale.

She sneered at me, “You must understand what Le Corbusier is doing with space. When you know what he is doing, it is very interesting.”

I nodded politely, thinking “fuck off”.

Later, I thought this is a kind of modern gnosticism; the idea is, once you have the correct, left-wing gnosis (knowledge), you see things as they truly are. And as with some gnostic sects, this enables a total inversion of morality and aesthetics. Fair is foul and foul is fair, to quote Macbeth. In Shakespeare’s play, the witches act as an irruption into the natural order, and tempt Macbeth to kill his king; from then on, the natural order is disrupted, there is no central axis of instinctive morality and valuation. In the play, it is not so much that evil is seen as good, as that the two are confused:

This supernatural soliciting

Cannot be ill, cannot be good.

Throughout the play, there are references to nature, principally of this sort “A great perturbation in nature”, and “unnatural deeds/Do breed unnatural troubles” with the gruesome image of Duncan’s horses:

ROSS

And Duncan’s horses–a thing most strange and certain–
Beauteous and swift, the minions of their race,
Turn’d wild in nature, broke their stalls, flung out,
Contending ‘gainst obedience, as they would make
War with mankind.

OLD MAN

‘Tis said they eat each other.

ROSS

They did so, to the amazement of mine eyes
That look’d upon’t.

It is not so much a play about evil as madness – Macbeth and his wife don’t believe they are right, or morally justified in some demonic scale; they merely eschew all sense of right and wrong and are left with chaos.

The madness to which they succumb has, in a sense, fallen over a substantial minority of the West – principally, those deemed “intellectual”. Lady Macbeth appeals to Macbeth’s manliness, to overcome his natural reluctance to murder his king; those like this architect appeal to “knowledge”, as if knowing some piece of technical data will turn this:

into a pleasing public monument. Ah but if only you understood what he’s doing with space, then you would like it, and want to live there, the architect would say. If only you had the secret knowledge, the correct gnosis, the Masonic password, you too would worship the dark ones and spread ugliness, lies, and evil with a pleasing glow of your own superiority and election.

This modern gnositicism appeals by saying, You can ignore your god-given instincts, your nature, you can despise those who still perceive beauty and virtue; you can call them “ignorant”. We will give you knowledge, carefully artificed knowledge, and then you will see that the ugly is in fact “interesting”, and the beautiful must be exterminated and erased.

They seek to overwrite the natural instincts, to contain the human soul in a demonic cage. Thus, their buildings resemble their own minds: mechanistic, rigid, nasty, oppressive. Those like the architect may not be themselves evil, in the Sorosian sense; but they are “on the spectrum”: they do the dark one’s work, joyfully.

It is wrong to say that all modern productions are bad; it is rather that those which serve “the good, the beautiful, and the true” (Vox Day’s words) are actively suppressed, denigrated, condemned; so we should be grateful for anything post-WW2 which doesn’t make one feel small and weak and helpless. I don’t know anything about Hundertwasser’s life or character, but a building like this – in the middle of dismal Magdeburg – gives me pleasure:

– no gnosis required.
