Holist idiocy outlet greatest hits

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

So the one problem with the Peanut Gallery is that you can't bump threads. Nonetheless, I thought I would create a tribute thread showcasing some of the best of Holist's idiocy, combativeness, and unceasing general ill-humor.

Wow, I can't find A SINGLE THREAD in which he is not being an insufferable, condescending, pretentious fuckwit. Go figure!

Fucking GLORIOUS.

we all work on what we wish to work on
(those genuinely under coercion not included)

i happen to think that creating the res publica of a people, the establishment (or re-establishment, or restoration) of a country in the sense of a nation state is an outmoded enterprise with little merit

in order to find more timely and glorious work, it is expedient to review the situation that we find ourselves in first from a larger (global), then from a narrower (personal) perspective

none of what i will say is new

global perspective:

one earth, seven billion people

roughly one tenth of that number do not eat their fill every day of the week

at the same time, ten percent of the population dispose over eighty-five percent of all earthly wealth

within that number, the richest one percent control forty percent of the wealth

man does not live by bread alone

over half the population of the earth live in cities, though mostly not cities in the european sense

and well over half the population strive to realise, in their personal lives, the ideals of the welfare consumer society

lots of food, lots of channels, lots of clutter

estimating the size of the autonomous, adult population who hold their lives and their hands and thus purposefully form them is harder

after a small, highly subjective and far from representative opinion survey and a great deal of pondering i have concluded that such people occur in higher proportion in the third world (brutal existential uncertainty is a strong selection pressure at both the individual and the social levels)

the transitional margin between the autonomous and the slave/slaver group is quite wide and gradual along a number of distinct dimensions

globally, the proportion of autonomous, self-governing  adults is somewhere between 0.1 percent and 10 percent

as an incorrigible optimist, i would wager around 1 percent

one in a hundred people

*

personal perspective:

i posit that only sovereign, adult people, who know their own lives and hold them in their hands in order to shape them are capable of authentic political action

i posit that in the present situation authentic political action is impossible without first letting go of all sorts of national or racial phantasmagories, imaginings, emotional tangles

i posit that today, authentic political action may be aimed at the following two targets (possibly among others, i am not making an exhaustive claim here):

firstly, moving fellow humans in the transitional stages between being robots and being people (or half-asleep, or what have you) towards sufficient levels of sovereignity

such actions include raising children, clarity of thinking and speech and the exemplary practice of authentic ways of being

secondly, the strengthening, supporting, mobilisation, vitalisation of the networks, the systems of interrelationships of autonomous people

this includes tribal enterprise, active community building and maintenance, trust-based barter trade and the promotion of communication and cooperation between small sovereign communities

thank you for your attention

This was my favorite:

over half the population of the earth live in cities, though mostly not cities in the european sense

I don't understand this. What does it mean? What is a "city in the European sense"?

well spotted, the single most dangling end of a string in there

you see the piece was recycled from my blog, sans the rather long analysis of the hungarian situation in particular

and when i translated it, even though i saw it wasn't particularly connected to anything, i decided to leave it in, because i think this factette is somehow strangely relevant to the present-day human predicament

it just so happens, as of a few years ago, city-dwellers now outnumber country-folk

only, when musing about the implications, it is important to keep in mind that say the average of those cities is certainly closer to Xiamen, Mexico City or Kairo than New York, London or Berlin - no sanitation, no organised, clean public transport, no stifling regulations

networks, though, digital networks!

where that gets us, i'm not quite sure

Hey Johnny, what's it like to live in a city with no sanitation, no organized, clean public transport, and no regulations? Oh I'm sorry, I mean "city", since it isn't a real city... you know, in a "European" sense. If you know what I mean.

Well ill tell you how my day was so you can infer for yourself...

After riding a donkey to the monte, i bartered nopales for a guajolote riding thru shit ridden streets full of leprose children... after a mere 10 hour round trip, i crushed the guajolotes head in my tortillero and fed said head to my girlfriend (such delicassy, ill have unprotected sex with her later so we have our 10th child) so the rest of the guajolote i threw into the furnace so i could get the steam engine rolling so i could charge the car battery so i could power up the phone with wifi (which costed me a months salary) but since i took so long to write this post the guajolote is cooked black so for the next three days im going to starve. Luckily, i eyeballed earlier some European Jehovas Witness which i can head hunt in the night and eat them raw (except the heart cause the soul is there, ill make an amulet out of their fingernails and wear their shrunken heads as a necklace)... and idk what u mean by country, we call this rancho.

OH FUCK 

[Q. G. Pennyworth]

I'm really confused by this whole thing. Is he saying that only people in third world countries should be allowed to procreate?

What do you think the odds are that even he knows what he's actually saying? All I can imagine is that he must be stoned as fuck.

[LMNO]

Te amo, Johnny!

[Bruno]

Yo, Holist. Imm'a do a solid on you and suggest you might be happier somewhere else.

[Telarus]

  Johnny, that was amaze-balls. 

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Yo, Holist. Imm'a do a solid on you and suggest you might be happier somewhere else.

That really does seem like somewhere he'd be far more at home.

[P3nT4gR4m]

Damn you to eternal Taylor Swift concerts, Nigel. I read some of that. MY FUCKING EYES!!!

[Bruno]

Yo, Holist. Imm'a do a solid on you and suggest you might be happier somewhere else.

It's the perfect place for him to grow and develop into the fourth density neo-libertarian hipster shaman starchild (who's also kinda racist) he was always destined to become.

Go, Holist. Go be with your people, and ascend into glory!
