Saatanan huora

To be afraid of falling off the edge, of being left outside, any kind of fear there may be that is terrifying and paralyzing. If one is not aware that being afraid is one of the most central issues to grab and learn to know why and what it is all about.

Fear for a woman and for a child is an everyday issue. We must be careful because there are dangers but we cannot live in fear. Danger is a sharp edge, falling down, sudden accident, a crash, an explosion, an attack, a stalker, a stranger, unknown, losing honor. Where are they those who threaten, what are they, those scary monsters, threatening future prospects, masked and armed enemies who hate? A black cloud, radiation, cancer, illness, losing one’s mind, losing friends, losing a job, losing hope, losing everything there is to lose. Fear in media fed to us is there for a reason, fear the emotion is dictating largely how we act and react, what we see and don’t see, how we feel and are allowed to feel. What happens next, what should we think and do. What are we afraid of and why, there is the safe inside space and the unsafe outside space, there is fear of life unlived, fear of death, fear of shame, being shamed and ashamed, fear of hurt, of losing, being forgotten and left aside, stomped down. There are so many ways to be afraid, how we keep silent, go with the crowd, tremble, stumble, stutter, shiver, feel frozen of fear, panic, scream, try to escape, run, go out of breath, don’t want to face the things that frighten us, how we show fear we must not show but we sweat, how we inflict fear, spread fear and terror, keep people in fear for their lives because everything is uncertain. To rule with fear is to bring horror for your people. One can be fearless when one is tired of being afraid, constant fearing does not make things change, to be brave and do whatever you think you can you should do, maybe little hesitant thinking what will others think, what will be thought of me when I do this, fear of being judged and abandoned, labelled, bullied. Can we smell fear?

What does it mean to be leftist? Calling of names or values?

4 huhtikuun, 201628 helmikuun, 2018 | Henna Timanttimetsä

What does it mean when somebody calls you a cultural Marxist in the meaning of you are an enemy of your people and common good? It is devastating and incorrect. To be leftist is never against people nor common good. If that is what leftists do, they are doing wrong. To be called an enemy is something communists, Marxists and all defined on the left more or less usually encounter. It is no surprise since deep division between political parties and views grows the more unstable world becomes, the more violent the world gets. To set an enemy for yourself, to those whom you represent with your world view and values in real life or only in your imagination seems to be a basic method of choosing sides which method is to create imbalance, argument, reality and more division there already is. Who is against you, against your political views, plans, what there is to get, your values, your safety and position is your enemy in this conversation and game, real and virtual, where winners are the most loudest bullies who have the nerve and attitude to crush anyone who is in their way. To be leftist artist can mean that to work in the industry successfully one has to bend one’s principles and values, professional field which is politically on the right which people working in arts do not like to admit, may even deny any political inclinations and sympathy. It is so that many philosophers discussed within arts heavily question fascist ideas and way of life, what is right and where to stand. You can be in the mist and not know what is what, think and say the other, do completely different. It is confusing, as it seems. Can business ever be leftist? If one is willing to compromise in a field where pretending is a rule and setting the mood and image right are more important than what lies behind, more important than standing behind values such as human rights, worker rights and intellectual progress, intellectual integrity, one can succeed especially financially. To be leftist who stands behind what is right it means one has to be vocal about issues, give straightforward criticism to those who may not want it but desperately need it and object to fascist progress of thinking and rock the fascist state of things which is manipulative, conservative, greedy, hindering progress rather than supporting it, exclusive, arrogant and hierarchical. Left means all what is said and done must stand the light of day and all things said and done are done within the frame of good for all, for all people. Everything is political whether you deny it or not, despite of you.

To me leftist is uncompromising when truth must be found. Left is against fascism. It is never fascist. It is against exploitation, abuse, manipulation, oppression and rule of money. It does not get intoxicated by power. Being visibly leftist on social media has appeared to be similar as being feminist. One is immediately labelled difficult and against something that left is not against in the first place. There are strict pools for right and left and far-right is a clear bully who likes to label those it calls enemies. To be leftist means sticking to one’s ideals and speaking out despite bullies, trolls, haters and gamers who throw dirt, threaten and shame without second thought because there is this enemy side to which all human right activists for some reason belong. There is strict division between those who seek common good and peace and those who look for causing harm and gaining benefit for themselves, self-interest and loathing belong together.

It is a strange battle in which knowing definitions most strongly defend radical change despite the thrashing of the name Marx and all of the left. From where things originate is essential to learn. Names and definitions are the ones that get thrown at you mostly by people who do not know better. Marxist is the swear word to many. Marxism an ideology a curse to be abolished. Maybe it is enough a reason to be a Marxist. Misunderstanding, that happened in the past, still defines Marxism which is as it happened more against the people and justice having created inequality that it was not to do. Was Marxism invented by Marx himself? By the outcome definitely not. What does Marxism mean, when it can be manipulated to be fascist? Merely that there are flaws in the philosophy or how it is understood poorly or not at all, definitely there have been and are flaws in the conventions of governing and implementing ideas as they are without manipulating them. Origins of hate, names, ideas and wars win and spin, what and who wins? When rulers get rich but people do not the state of things is not on the left, maybe looking in the direction of the left as it is deported to concentration camps and prisons silenced and bullied. To be leftist means knowing the roots and meanings of terms and ideas used. Terminology is a battle field, ammunition, accusation and fault as is history. History is a sledgehammer but we do not learn from it. To know who stands on the right and defends right causes one has to listen what people talk, also listen to those with whom you do not agree. Marxism and communism having had the heavy load of atrocities, misuse and abuse, massacres, lies, exploitation of philosophy and ideas invented to make revolution of labor, of working people and human rights does not mean the essential ideas are useless, they have been implemented in wrong ways. Why are thoughts that were made to give power to those who do not have power, to those who are powerless without means to rise up, deemed bad and corrupt?

Crowds will have power when they learn to know how to use power of theirs collectively and correctly for good building peaceful society. What are those teachings and how does learning happen collectively? What is the corrupt part, I wonder. Where does it, a movement, a revolution, go corrupt and why working class should not have similar rights as the bourgeoisie, depending what those rights are? Enemy today is the venomous history remembered as a heavy book, a burden which it is. History which easily repeats the fire and force of Marxism used poorly and violently against those whom it is supposed to help. The heavy book forgotten because it is too long to study. Socialism and communism do appeal to those who are the most oppressed and may look for vengeance seeking their power which has been lost. To be wise with the power of working class can be found, reason is there when one does not give power to hate. Change can be hopelessly total destruction even compared to reality experienced and escaped, complete turnover is lethal when there is lack of compassion and knowledge. Subtle voluntary change exercised by all willingly sounds like a dream. It means there shall not be any politicians who would seek absolute power. Social reform does not happen quickly in places where there is no history of power of the working people used for them and by them.

Where rulers slaughter people of their own and are intoxicated by power philosophers are merely hammers in use to justify deeds done in the name of working people and freedom. It is a complicated question what left is today because it is without teeth in front of unemployment, corruption, chaos in the Middle East and future looking somewhat threatening.

Political left is seeking profound change in Europe as it is broken and divided instead of being united. Prejudice and stigma that there hovers above seems propaganda and something people who still think like it is the 1990s like to keep alive. The very basis of left still remains for those who stand on the side of protecting instead of destroying: human value exists without ownership, without money, money is not the ultimate measure of life, possession does not tell of human value, people live and must be allowed to live free and in peace regardless of the circumstances they come from and their background, regardless of status, wealth, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, political views and occupation. It is at its core an aim to provide good living for all, a political ideology about sharing wealth in a way that there would not be handful of people who are enormously rich and there would not be a mass of poor people who cannot rise up because they are so poor and would be slaves to those who own the most of wealth and means to produce basic products, means to provide work, means to influence in politics and have power in decision-making. That there would not be poverty where there are no means to help oneself to rise up the ladder. Society cannot be set sustainably in a way that those who are the most well-off will survive and flourish because of their gained wealth and only those would prosper. If to make it would be and is so difficult in most of the world leftism has got work to do. When the only way to get ahead is that one should be equipped to fit and have wealth world will not be stable, people will not have stable healthy views on society and what being a human today is. Society that expects certain things of success, those who succeed have succeeded in advance, loses something important something that we cannot anticipate but will regret. It is variety, surprise and innovation that does not appear because of wealth but despite it. For all there must be tools to reach out for their dreams and succeed in life.

How is revolution in motion or how movement is joint to making revolution and how not moving is a statement?

17 marraskuun, 20154 joulukuun, 2017 | Henna Timanttimetsä

We are driven to be active which is good, all in our own ways we must move. We mostly feel left out when we are not able to move. Active maker is a very human thing to be and we yearn to make. Saddest thing is when people are prohibited the joy of moving. To be a refugee and flee is one kind of hell which we obviously fail to see as we look at moving only as a positive and rewarding activity where there is something material to gain and motivation to move is only selfishly spiced up with greed. To blame the fleeing ones is strange and it reveals our complete self-absorption where we cannot see further, where there are threats all over because we are the most important people in the world and our rights are not to be violated by immigrants or refugees who invade our space. To be unemployed, cut out of active work life is a devastating experience for majority of people. I would see compulsory traveling, fleeing as such, where one is forced to abandon what is familiar and safe, forced to switch into a completely new kind of existence, new place, new habits, ways to think a same kind of fall out of accepted dignified existence. Someone who escapes is a threat like a convict which for those who do not understand such total necessity of escaping, it possibly seems like an adventure and exiting. Just like being idle looking for next chance.

Work gives meaning and feeling of importance as does feeling of belonging. This is at least what work is suppose to mean for us, a meaningful every day task, a human right and duty, which is an essential part of living, making a living, supporting oneself, making us belong, exist and create visible results of labor, marks of ours. Work is a measurement for value, making value, importance in the eyes of community and for the community. All work is not important although laborious, dirty, simple or difficult, hard etc. valuable becomes to be such in which one can be a heroic mastermind. It makes one wonder where does value come from and who makes it? As we look at the concrete evidence of hard work which is the pay-check, collective appreciation, results, sweat, effort and what kind of work is seen as important, appreciation gets odd shades and it is not as logical. Something interesting, something big and grande. There is work which women traditionally do or it falls on them and which in some countries men refuse to do because it is beneath them. It is still work that has to be done. There is no heroism, no large pay, not huge value other than this ’invisible’ need that is to be filled, done, which need becomes visible when it is not fulfilled. Stench, suffering and pain follow very quickly, no gratitude other than a relief of cleanliness and help, caring and kindness. Infrastructure of fulfilling human needs. So how to stop and pay attention to this important part of work, work that is as important as breathing, staying healthy and fed: without we would die. Activity done by women which is seen as passive nonexistence which many of us wish to flee because it is so laborious and undervalued.

We need to measure how fast we can go compared to others, how strong we physically are, materially lasting, who lasts the most and piles up the biggest mountain of stuff. In comparison and measuring how much we can make of ourselves as part-takers, leaders in modern competition where good is something that is going on and changing fast and is a happening, a party. The mode we are suppose to have and live in. Be active equaling having a life, we must show we have a life as it is a possession and material, not just a breath, a walk, body but a collection of experiences. Life equals something that is happening, appearing, emerging, being found, won and we are taking part in movement of life as well as we can. Passive is seen a negative off mode where existence is limited, where moving is little and one is somehow cut out of something important, out of that active stream of man made life offerings of luxury and pleasure, or is it life which does the offering, sacrificing, moving fast and we can’t keep up. Fast forward illusion that we have control and right to do what ever we want. Still to be passive is something most fail to understand and refuse to admit to or there are new names for staying put, not participating the party that we actually should be participating such as voting, recycling and thinking. Being hyperactive in fun, moving around in a hurry not missing a thing can be a very passive state focusing on what is given and what can be taken, grasped to hold, what is mine, what cannot be given away. To be active in greed is the modern passivity. To fail to understand nature of passivity and what kind of role it has in the world today is exactly what happens over and over again because most people are blinded by the nature of action and what action can be, importance on doing and possessing every moment, having done, importance on accomplishment that can be shown as evidence of having lived and one’s own excellence, that we are here and making our lives, our own. That to be in a hurry to move between places, phases in life, move ahead in life, make progress is seen the best kind of active thing to do and to give value to the person who fall for the lie of modern man and his need to be on top of the game, all of them, to have all. To have speed, be speeding, go ahead, win and grab a trophy of having accomplished velocity, vehicles, places, status. Having been fastest can be the most passive thing to do when one fails to understand meaning of speed and making progress. Heavy structures move slowly.

To move or to not move. Some of us can choose, but what if it is a question of indecency, improper and a mortal sin how one moves, as it happens such is the case for many women. Our moving is monitored and manipulated to fit within a frame even though we think we are free to move and go. Those who move behind the lines set for proper must be prepared for consequences. How do we make the decision on what kind of movement we will make to make action and make satisfying result? Who do we wish to satisfy and why satisfaction is never fully ours?

We move by vehicles, by our own energy and limbs, inventions, imagination, our own determination and set ideas that need to be accomplished and realized because we have desires, will to do and make. Without this will we are paralyzed, unhappy, often yes. When we are not fulfilling our meaning, ourselves, talents, intellect and finding our place in the world whose plan are we following? To be a fraction, a partial of what one could be is what we ache and still we escape. The modern refugees of the West flee this ache and the need to face one’s insignificance and inadequacy. We are prohibited from moving because of many things and because we hinder ourselves from moving. We do not dare, one can be bound to gender rules, disability, someone is telling that to do what one wants is against what god wants, what society wants of you. Desires are evil for such god and women are not to have desires. To move or not against all odds, against the stream, against public opinion, against what other people want moving to be like and make. It is not to disturb, to change anything when society wishes to stay the same. We can not move because we want, we move because we must. We can protest by sitting down, by going places where we are not supposed to go and harass those who need to be harassed to think otherwise. When people are used to state of not moving, passivity is accepted and not thinking for yourself is encouraged, any kind of act is disturbing the peace, rules and state of mind.
