Question for this identification business:

What parts of the world, specifically, do you find the Machine,Ñ¢ most apparent in? Where are its strongest manifestations, where does it thrive?

EDIT: Make that 'when', as well. Are there points in history where the Machine,Ñ¢ was stronger in certain places and weaker in others?

Fundamentally, it's the parasitism we want to change.  It should be benefiting us, rather than harming us to benefit it.

Reducing its control would be a part of this. Not neccessarily laws and the like, but the combined use of crowding and democracy. People function differently in crowds than they do when behaving as individuals. People are organized into two major crowds for voting purposes, so that any radical or out of place notions in their ideologies will slowly be forced out by that crowd. If people are voting as two massive groups, and not as individuals, voting fraud isn't even needed. Or so my half-baked theory goes.

The indoctrination process, with its many facets, should also be a concern.

To refer back to Rev. WHN's last point, if the machine part of the Machine,Ñ¢ metaphor holds true, it can be turned to a better purpose. In the same way that a knife is not inherently evil: it's evil if it's sticking in your kidneys, but not if it's helping you eat your food.

But it depends on the view of the Machine,Ñ¢ - is it the entirety of this corrupted social system, stagnating under its own gargantuan size and existing as a parasite rather than in commensal or mutual symbiosis, or is it all our follies and therefore an unsalvagable and monolithic evil (creating an easy to grasp black-and-white situation)?

Will I ever learn how to break up my run-on sentences?

This is quite irrelevent, but didn't Socrates drink the hemlock as a statement in favor of the law (putting following it above his own life)?

Of course, after over two millenia of time for that legend to change and evolve, it's really pretty silly to quibble over the facualtity or meaning of such.

Hey That Guy, mind if I use this?

Sure. It's opensauce, like any random image thrown into the pollution-saturated ocean of the internet.

Be more specific. Do you mean just ctrl-c/ctrl-v, or what?

A secular take on things.

My jew-fu is weak, unfortunately.

Will we get this one in pamphlet form, too? I live in a fairly liberal city, and would love to start dropping these about.
