The point that I have seared into my brain is how Wordist orthodoxy supports tyranny. Gibson history is Wordist orthodoxy.
It is what is unquestioned that is important. Orwell had is right, the meaning of orthodoxy is the termination of the ability to comprehend, the ability to access truth through thought.
I think to my own education: How long did it take to get it through my head the role and function of the cult of Lincoln in America? How long did it take me to realize that Lincoln himself was a devoted tyrant and cultist?
The cult of Lincoln is relentless in America. In our public schools, this aspect has not changed since the advent of the public school system in the 1910s. Today, the cult of Lincoln is pushed above all in the huge industry that has sprung up to support the "Americanization" of the third-world hordes washing up on our shores.
The cult of Martin Luther King is nothing more than a derivative of the cult of Lincoln.
The only history they know, and the only history they are taught, is of the "giant Lincoln who freed the slaves", and the "giant Martin Luther King" who gave a rebirth to that effort. They think this symbolizes the sum total of American history.
This is nursery rhyme level stuff. But it is the nursery rhyme level stuff that is genuinely effective. It is the nursery rhyme level stuff that is BELIEVED. It is the nursery rhyme level stuff that is accessible to low IQs.
I have always asked myself, why is it that the very people "the system" makes its biggest victims and losers turn out also to be its biggest supporters?
There is nobody more impressed, more supportive, of that petty tyrant in a black dress, talking down to him from a raised dais, than that moron and idiot who is being sentenced to 5 days in the county lockup for failure to pay his child support obligations.
Yet that same moron and idiot was given a noble tradition in law, the real law, not the made up law of tyranny, that says the procurement of your rights is YOUR (very own) RESPONSIBILITY (the adversary system), and when taken to its correct logical conclusion must conclude that it is a moral crime, YOUR (very own) moral crime, to have allowed that petty tyrant to have put on a black dress and climb onto a raised dais in the first place.
(Gibbons was just another academic clown on a raised dais.)
People who genuinely care about freedom, about human dignity, will hang anyone who attempts to talk down to them from a raised dais, and this hanging will take place with true moral righteousness, for it supports human dignity and freedom.
Americans got a tyranny, got the cult of Lincoln, because they lacked the WILL to procure their rights. And prevailing in a conflict is a matter of WILL, nothing more.
Americans must still learn this lesson and Germans must still learn this lesson, for both our nations lost their freedom in wars (that were really to some extent civil wars) that were lost. And the lesson of our (real) history is that wars for freedom MUST NOT be lost.
And that's what makes BUGS so very important. That's what makes the Internet so very important. These are transmission vehicles for keeping WILL alive, for keeping the cause of human dignity and freedom alive, and for refusing to submit to being conquered by tyrants and their tyrannies
