Sorry for my english!) "I'm the great Leviathan, insatiable colossus Titanic engulfer of lives, I reward you, absorb you I'm the monstrous mouth that hungers for your awe..." -- The manifestation of a giant rational System of constant consumption, in favor of which lives are sacrificed. The System encourages consumption to involve Units in itself. Units of the System must worship the very System, the process of consumption. "...Immense construction of lies, I own you, disown you I am life, I'm death You empower me..." -- The System manipulates Units by making them believe that for the Units it is everything. However, if the Units of the system stop supporting it, the system will cease to exist. "...I'm a mammoth king evoked, conjured by your dreams Summoned by your fears, you need me, you feed me..." -- The System did not arise on an empty place - it is based on primordial fears and animal instincts. "...I'm the imposing giant, infallible dictator My rules apply to all, you'll heed me, bleed for me..." -- The System is huge, perfect, and omnipresent. To support it, Units are ready for everything. "...I am life, I'm death, I decide your fate You empower me, you'd even kill for me..." -- Since the Units believe that the System is everything for them, it is precisely the System that determines their life cycle - who to live, and whom and when to die. "...Guzzling down your dreams, the tears of unheard pleas I drink Imbibe with such delight the fear that floods your temporal shell..." -- It is advantageous for the System to maintain belief that all secret desires will come true through consumption, as well as the production and maintenance of a feeling of animal fear. "Raging red rivers and streams, the kingdom of my shadow Where dread of man in endless night revives my every cell..." -- All suffering and bloodshed among the Units of the System are also provoked by the System itself to increase consumption productivity. "...To those who doubt, your wounds will never heal To those who question my creation, I'm not real..." -- Getting rid of the influence of the System with half-measures, such as moderate consumption, or isolation will not work, it will cause great suffering. Rebellion, in this regard, will also be part of the System. The system, while manipulating the Units, remains in the shadows, passing off its desires as the desires of the Units. "...I am pain, I am grief, I'm the things you fear I'm the lie whispered into your ear I'm the great Leviathan, I'm dominance and greed..." -- The System cleverly transforms any feelings, emotions, even such as fear and pain, the desire to dominate and greed into consumption. "...You imagined me, so I was conceived..." -- The System is closely linked to the properties (entity) of the Units. If the Units were not themselves, then the System could not exist in its current form. "...I am life, I'm death, you belong to me Call me what I am, I am colossus..." -- In fact, there are no Units not involved in the System. All worship the enormous statue of the Golden Calf. |
