The Suffering is The Point

Mantras for Surviving Modernity no. 4

The Suffering is The Point, our elites are malicious they do not subject groups to humiliation by accident, doubly so when that humiliation extends into the corporeal realm.

Our elites know all too well the psychological effects of being subjected to repeated humiliation and frustration. They have to know in order to remain as a ruling caste, they must make sure that no matter what they associate themselves it must not effect their ruling status. They become almost impervious to the negative social effects of unpopular sentiments. Look at our ruling elites today, they seem to go out of their way to venerate the very worst, or the very foreign, aspects of our society openly, and in times even directed to specific audiences in order to maximise the suffering.

It is paramount that they reinforce this suffering by making it known to you—the prole—that you are powerless to remedy it. You will get late to work because of a Just Stop Oil protest, and dare you lay a finger on the preordained regime protesters, the full extent of the law is what you can expect. Ruling factions like the Conservative Party in the UK are experts on this sort of thing, carrying out one performative failure after another to crystallise apathetic sentiments within the mass. They recognise this effect to such an extent that they even internally document it as an effective strategy for carrying out unpopular policy. No one likes immigration as a policy, but as a ruling faction the Conservatives feel they must continue on such a path.

So rather than reconcile with the populace, they would rather keep the floodgates open whilst working with media elites to create constant drama around just how hard it is to stop immigration, and how much inter-elite resistance there is against their plans. Rinse and repeat for over a decade and you will find that people become dissuaded, they learn to accept the suffering. Some will even learn to revel in their helplessness, being a victim of policy becomes their identity and the next level of suffering becomes almost bitter sweet.

We could speculate on what it is that causes our elites to put so much suffering upon those who they swear to protect, it is clearly driven by a malicious intent—but in some ways it is more simple than this. Our elites make us suffer because they can, they recognise that no one is capable of upending them. If a counter-faction of elites did attempt to overthrow them, they might find the populace at large would be subjected to further suffering for the counter-faction’s misdeeds. However, one thing we can say for sure is that when our elites are no longer capable of making us suffer, it will be a consequence of their elite status fading.
