the religion of the blessed peacemakers turning the other cheek <-> the civilization of human carnage ready, willing, able to kill the world rather than give in… the religion of noble truths of suffering, nothingness, and absolute non-possession <-> crabby egotists, dogmatics, and fetishists, especially those who’ve got theirs… secular religions of equality <-> material and power-political inequality on levels never seen before… ideologies of national greatness <-> national self-destruction… absolute monotheism <-> absolute particularism
note on the iron laws of irony
