A black mass for bloody crusaders

[Cain]

I can end it all, you know.  War, famine, murder, disease, the many painful facts of human existence.  I think I've solved them all.  You know what this means?  We can liberate the world from suffering and pain.

How?  Well, I have this system, wait a minute I've got it written down somewhere.  Ah, here it is.  You want to read it?  Go ahead.  You see now, don't you?  Yes, I recognize that fevered glint in your eyes.  You understand.  You see the potential.  The pursuit of mankind living in harmony is no longer a dream – it is a possibility in our lifetime.

Do you think...that we should consider sharing the secret with others?  Well, we have to, don't we?  It is a moral duty.  Since we now know why everything is so wrong in the world, the root of all this evil we are mired in, it would be the right thing to do, the rational thing.  Why allow all this to continue if we can stop it.

It's becoming difficult to convince some people, I know.  I simply can't understand why they don't see we have the answer here.  We could help them, but they don't seem to see that we can solve all their problems.  But we must have faith.  I am certain they will come around in time.  We just have to wait.  Time is on our side, after all.  You cannot deny the historic inevitability of our system.

I wonder...if perhaps we should consider forcing events in our favour?  We have to be honest with ourselves and accept that some people are simply too invested in the present way of things, or too stupid or blinded or indoctrinated to understand the truth, as we do.  It's a difficult thing to decide, I know.  But we must weigh the costs of any possible action to the ongoing suffering of an entire world.  Things will come to a head, sooner or later.

We must act.  There is little time left, because if we do not manage to succeed, the last hope for the world will perish with us.  Only we can perfect humanity, make it right and good, so that all of society benefits.  Our enemies, those who oppose us, are either willing or unknowing agents of evil.  Even the latter is no excuse, because our mission is the highest undertaking a human could take.  We may have no choice but to resort to force of arms, in order to protect ourselves and our creation, our vision of a world without pain and suffering.  It will be a small price to pay, when every person hitherto will be in our debt.

Events are now under control.  That was...unpleasant, but unfortunately necessary.  If only they could have been made to understand...nevertheless, what is done is done, and we should stop looking to the past.  Instead, we have a bright future ahead of us.  But there is still much work to do.  We must prepare for hard times in order to succeed.

I don't understand it.  All this hostility...We are here to help.  Once we sort things out, everything will be fine.  Better than fine, better than great even.  It will be perfect.  It must be tradition.  Yes, that is it.  People holding onto the remnants of a failed past.  Failed theories.  Fantasies, warped ideas, poisonous beliefs.  We must break with that past in every way possible.  I don't care about the details, just make it happen.  A revolutionary fervour for the new world can only be built on the dead body of the old one.

The problem is not the people.  It cannot be.  We have educated them, taught them the truth of our way.  Despite a few...troublemakers, they understand and support our project, our aim for the world.  No, the problems must come from outside.  From the rest of the world.  Yes.  They fear us, you know?  Oh yes.  They fear our message.  They know we herald a new dawn for humanity, one in which they will be irrelevant and discarded, so they must sneak in, undermine us, sabotage us at every turn and spread vile lies.  We need to combat this.  There has to be a way to stop this, to save the project.

We have defeated one of the many sources of this evil which has threatened us for so long.  From this victory, new hope springs forth.  While some at home have criticized this action, it was necessary, as the opening shot in a war to liberate humanity.  And it is a war, let there be no doubt.  We did not start it, and we have faced vicious opposition at every step of the way.  But we know, that sooner or later, we will triumph.  The outmoded forces of tyranny cannot stand against the new ways, the modern ways, the right ways.  They will try in the future, as they have in the past.  But I am assured of the historical forces that are driving us towards a better, fairer, more perfect society.  It is only a matter of time.

Things are tough, right now, I know.  Reactionary forces, in alliance with our enemies, attempt to undermine the good we do abroad, just as they have at home.  They are evil, willing to go to whatever lengths necessary to keep a grip on power, to abuse the people they claim to want to protect.  But we will not stand for it!  We will continue the fight, because right is on our side and because we are good!  Our system is not perfect, but it is the best hope the world has.  And we will not allow these savages to drag us back to a dark and violent past.  Not now and not ever!

I don't understand where it all went wrong.  We were right, RIGHT damnit!  Why can't they see that?  We only acted with the best intentions.  We wanted to save people.  We knew what was best for them, but they wont listen.  And now we have been bought to the brink of ruin by their cowardice and treachery!  It could have been so perfect, couldn't have it?  We could have saved everyone...

If only they had trusted us.

That was awesome.

I really dig it, Cain.  You're really spot-on with portraying the radical idealist mindset: from rational benevolence springs forth tyrranny and all that.  Good job.

[LMNO]

Thanks again.

I found this quote recently, it seemed as good a place as any to put it.

To do evil a human being must first of all believe that what he's doing is good... Ideology - that is what gives devildoing its long-sought justification and gives the evildoer the necessary steadfastness and determination. That is the social theory which helps to make his acts seem good instead of bad in his own and others' eyes, so that he won't hear reproaches and curses but will receive praise and honors.
– Alexander Solzhenitsyn

We need to find a way of forcing everyone to read this
