Love Gun

We all suffer from being victimised at one point or another, we find it unacceptable, like some sort of noble sense of justice has been ignored and replaced by an injustice we really shouldn't have to deal with. It's not our problem. We are the good guys and our sense of self has been diminished.
We want to be left alone, to go back to our normal lives when we felt safe, before we were subjected to torment that we don't deserve and perhaps more importantly, we have no control over.
Is that not what makes us so frustrated? Those painful instances that force us to realise we have no control over our own lives? And perhaps something worse than that - that it's other people who control our lives. People we don't care about anywhere near as much as we care about ourselves.
But alas, this phenomenon is a mere footnote in the chronicle that is humanity.

People clearly like to destroy the character of others. It makes them feel better about themselves, (and who doesn't like that?) but of course to balance out that ego boost someone else needs to feel like shit. Personally I think the worst breed of this phenomenon (AKA bullying) is when someone bullies their victim based on untrue assertions and the victim doesn't stand up for oneself and in some instances, can't do so.
Look at Nazi Germany.

The point is that if one is not capable of thinking at a certain capacity they will not be able to comprehend someones behaviour of a higher capacity. They will either avoid it, telling themselves it's something they cannot understand and therefore shouldn't bother with or they will become aggressive, lash out at it, attack the integrity of it. There are many ways to become angry (duh) but the one I want to concern myself with is the most destructive weapon used for anger - morality.

Oh how pleasurable it is mask your own unhappiness and desire to dominate those around you with nobility, to be the good guy. After all, if you're on the side of morality, that gives you a licence to do whatever you like, does it not? If anyone behaves in a way you dislike, label them 'decadent' or even better, 'evil'.
Isn't all fair in love and war?
What is really interesting about the character of the moralizer is paradoxically, their distinct lack of morals. Say someone wrote a rap song and it was a depraved, seedy rap song (aren't all the best ones like that?).
Say the writer began to receive threats, the materialisation of which would permanently ruin his/her life, like the threat of legal action (the plight of Galileo springs to mind).

What if these same people then attacked the controversial writer directly, calling him horrible things and promoting this person's hatred throughout his/her town or city. (Aren't these people meant to be on the good side of morality? I thought it was the songwriter who was the bad guy?)
Funnily enough, this comes under the crime of Slander and though it's not an uncommon thing to badmouth others, legal ramifications can occur should the victim decide on pressing charges.

But as Randal in the indie-classic Clerks articulately comments,

'I hope it feels so good to be right, there's nothing more exhilarating than pointing out the shortcomings of others, is there?'

Despite this petty hypocrisy, what is right and wrong anyway? Maybe someone who writes depraved rap songs are morally wrong. Maybe they should be punished.
Let's assess it; a person who fits in with society's ideals, with what is deemed correct in their society, this person would never behave in a way that would not be considered correct (by society). In those rare moments of letting themselves go and do something society considers wrong, they probably suffer from guilt and shame over the fear of society judging them for their indiscretion. This character just described is the character of a very amoral person. The sort of person who doesn't truly understand what is right and wrong, the sort of person who bases what is right and wrong on what society deems to be correct or incorrect, not on what they feel as a human is moral. But what about the sort of person that accepts humans are both good and bad, capable of the greatest evil and the greatest good? What if this person chooses to turn the horrible depraved things that inhabit their mind into art? (art is historically the most effective medium for progression and if you didn't know, progression is a very good thing). The artist is merely entertaining a thought, without actually accepting it as right.
And according to Aristotle, that is the mark of an educated mind.

So the next time you hear someone bitching about you, sue them. If someone calls you a poo-head or worse, a shit-whistle, call the police on them for being threatening. If you don't like Eminem or 50 Cent's music because you find it offensive, go to their house, call them a shmuck. Better yet, if anyone does or says anything that you don't like, I implore you to make them suffer for it. Let's collaborate and together we can destroy the perpetual devil that is diversity and liberty.
