i also don't know what all this "you need to train hard and work hard" is at the end. revolutionary bootstraps, something something whatever. what is the end goal of that?

"Courage does not mean to shout in the street, 'Ho Chi Minh! Ho! Ho!' or 'Guevara! Che! Che!'. Courage, for an ordinary person, is to not allow himself to become a bloody hassle. To have that false courage of getting killed tomorrow in a 'revolutionary' struggle in the name of 'revolution'. But never have this authentic courage, this everyday courage, which consists of sacrificing your personality completely to be effective."

i suppose that since Reason is man’s basic means of survival, that which is proper to the life of a rational being is good and that which negates, opposes or destroys it is evil. after all, thinking is man’s only basic virtue, from which all the others proceed. and his basic vice, the source of all his evils, is that nameless act which all of you practice, but struggle never to admit: the act of blanking out, the willful suspension of one’s consciousness, the refusal to think—not blindness, but the refusal to see; not ignorance, but the refusal to know. It is the act of unfocusing your mind and inducing an inner fog to escape the responsibility of judgment—on the unstated premise that a thing will not exist if only you refuse to identify it, that A will not be A so long as you do not pronounce the verdict 'It is evil'.

i dunno some things you would call evil are systemic sure but unless you buy into the theory that we can achieve a harmonious society of communism then some stuff has been with us and will be with us longer than will be relevant to you or i

i mean the quran is pretty clear there is no lasting peace or satisfaction for humankind in the world and stuff like murder and greed has and will factor into human affairs

TBQH the people crushing teenage emo heads with concrete blocks seem pretty evil

IRAQI teenagers widely perceived to be gay are being brutally killed in Baghdad with Shi'ite militias distributing lists of targets warning of further assaults.

At least 15 teenagers, described as "emos" for their tight-fitting black clothes and alternative hairstyles, have been stoned, beaten to death or shot dead in the past month, medics say.

Reports have also said some of them had their heads smashed with concrete blocks.

Human rights groups say the death toll is far higher amid accusations of a cover-up by security forces.

Witnesses in the conservative Shi'ite Muslim bastion of Sadr City in north Baghdad say a militia group calling itself the Brigades of Anger has posted leaflets naming 22 youths to be "punished".

Medical officials said at least 15 have been killed in the past month, including seven who were stoned to death, five who were shot and one who was beaten to death. At least two victims were girls.
"Police generally take care of all these incidents," said one of the officials, who declined to be named. "They don't like medics or ambulances to take them. Two days ago, the body of a teenager was found in Bayaa - he was evacuated by police."

In Western youth culture, emo refers only to appearance and musical preference and carries no connotation about a person's sexual orientation.

In Iraq, however, the term is widely associated with being gay, which remains taboo in the conservative Muslim country.

The International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission, based in New York, said a "new surge of anti-gay violence" since February in Iraq had led to nearly 40 people kidnapped, tortured and murdered.

"There are no excuses for such heinous human rights violations," said Cary Alan Johnson, the organisation's executive director.

"We demand that the Iraqi government put a stop to the wanton persecution and killing of gay people, and that the perpetrators be punished."

Iraq's interior ministry said in a March 8 statement that it had not recorded any anti-gay or anti-emo killings. It said the recent murders in the capital had been for "revenge, or social, criminal, political or cultural reasons".

In a February 13 statement that remains on its website, however, it said emos were "devil-worshippers" and the ministry "has official approval to eliminate them as soon as possible".

In the statement, police Colonel Mustaq Talib Mohammedawi, described as chief of Baghdad's "social police", said his forces would enter the capital's schools as part of its efforts to target the "phenomenon".
The violence has drawn criticism from religious leaders, with Shi'ite cleric Mohammed al-Yaqoubi arguing that any response to emo teenagers should be confined to "advice, guidance and knowledge".
Iraqi human rights ministry spokesman Kamil al-Amin said any government response should not extend beyond "education".

Human Rights Watch warned in August 2009 of Iraqi militias torturing and executing men they suspected of homosexuality, and accused authorities of turning a blind eye to the violence.

The New York-based group said hundreds of men were kidnapped, tortured and killed that year in a wave of violence that began in the Sadr City stronghold of radical Shi'ite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr.

London-based Amnesty International wrote a letter to Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki in April 2009 urging government protection for homosexuals.

Homosexuality is forbidden in Islam, frowned upon in Arab society and illegal in many Middle Eastern countries. Iraq has no law against homosexuality but prominent religious authorities have harshly condemned it.

evil is most definitely the nonsolid entity that gave a building designer the idea to install axe body spray misters in the ceiling tiles of mallstores and the institutions and marketers that drive teens to crave the mist.

But then again to the morality police, these teenagers undermining their faith, families and communities by dressing and acting in degenerate and insolent ways is pretty evil. It’s an evil that is chipping away at the bedrock of their community’s collective identity and spirit in the same of fleeting, indulgent narcissism. And what kind of good men could they be if they didn’t confront this evil?
