The Anti-Human: Introduction

Nietzsche and I have our vast differences but there is one great message I believe that he had to offer.  A message that had never been expressed so directly and powerfully. This message is what I like to call the great diagnosis. Nietzsche's diagnosis was not a biological one, but intellectual. He claimed man kind as a sick and broken animal, but not from bacteria or a virus.  This infection is an idea. A concept so deeply engraved in men that it causes them to act against everything in their nature.

Take a moment and think about this. What if there was something that literally thrived off the slavery of mankind?  What if there was something that systematically broke down your mind and filled with with delusions?  What if there is a great parasite that lives off human blood?  And what if this thing, had infected the whole world?

You may think I am being mellow dramatic but I am here to tell you it is all very real.  This infection is what I call the anti-human.

You maybe asking your self "what is the cause of the anti-human? What does it come from? What is the motivation?" the answer: broken men are a valuable resource and are easily exploited.   If you can successfully break down a human being you can make him die for anything... Literally anything.  Country, god, race, culture, tribe, class, equality, etc... I want you to honestly consider this.  Think of how many people have died in war, and even if you don't think that war is inherently evil, think of how many people have died in vain. For absolutely nothing. Even if you endorse the war in Iraq, even if you endorse the world wars, even if you endorse all the wars America has ever been in. You cannot deny that the majority all wars have been for nothing (and in my opinion they all have).  If you don't believe me take a moment to look up the history of war and you tell me how much you think is justified.  You tell me how much of it was for anything at all.

I believe it is quite clear that it is not in mans nature to die for nothing other wise pointless random deaths, along with suicide would be rampant. No, man must have a cause, or reason to die.  Because not only is man a social and rational animal as so many have pointed out but also a morally inclined. And ever sense the birth of history ruler of men have used this to exploit mankind.
