Why is it that people will kill others over paranoia, but they won't lift a finger to prevent injustices that occur every day? There is something inherently spoiled about the nature of people, and I just can't put my finger on it. It is like no one will get off their ass to improve the world, but they'll go out of their way to make things more complicated and tragic. Evidence like this really makes it difficult to maintain an optimistic populist attitude.
2013 violence In February 2013, the Guinean opposition party announced it would be stepping down from the electoral process due to a lack of transparency over the company used in registering voters. Calling on citizens to protest nationwide, the ensuing week saw multiple clashes between police and protesters, resulting in at least nine deaths, some of those due to live fire from security forces.[23][24]

I network with revolutionaries on the deep web. I've hung out with militants and anarchists in real life. I've broken many of your laws and I've lived the life of a semi-normal person contributing to your society in what would be considered acceptable methods. This world is a buffet and to be small enough to be definable by a single archetype is a humiliating condition. People don't understand chimeric individuals. We change masks like you change articles of clothing, and at the end of the day we are left wondering who we really are. When we choose a cause, it becomes us. That is the beauty of life. It tests us and forces us to fly our true banners.

If you are looking for static consistency and coherence from me, you are going to have a hard time. I am a creature in flux and while I don't flip flop on many issues in my real life, I only hold onto an idea long enough for it to suit me. Often I take a position online for reasons other than the normal ego drama people like to play out. It is better to work through an idea and to grow in your understanding of it by becoming a position and living it out to its logical conclusion. I am many people online. I engage in social media for humor, for right wing politics, for liberalism, for liberty, for economics, for science, for mysticism, and I'll probably create alter-personas in the future as my interests develop and expand. If I ever tried to present myself in a social setting as I truly am, I would frustrate people with all of my many apparent contradictions.

The mystics of the past used to hold a great deal of hostility for the brazen ones who could walk in many circles. Getting us to become ensnared by this world and to produce our offspring here was their highest ambition. Once I began to approach an understanding of what they were really getting at, it was game over for that trick. There are many others, but I've learned to embrace my ethereal nature with love. The ego slaves on this planet are truly living in darkness and the self-immolators have gone off the deep end. As crazy as I might seem at times, I'm the only person I know who soared like Icarus and came out of the situation largely intact.
