The Outer-Outliers

By Claudia Berdella

There will always be outliers, even among other outliers. I think outliers who are outliers among other outliers is where you will find the most interesting, smart people… the least quasi-satanic ones. I feel little need to expand here, as it’s the “born not made” concept- if you are one, you get it, and if you don’t then just accept you’re not. 

Many outliers today are of that nature by choice, for the identity. But then there’s those who are born (naturally) so, and when they find the group of outliers-by-choice they often face ousting due to not conforming to these groups uniform-nonconformity. The establishment of an establishment based on anti-establishment is contradictory and dangerous- it’s a forgetfulness of past orthodoxies. It is better to have a loosely aligned collective of outlaws with their own thoughts and perspectives than to have an establishment of people abiding by the same fundamentals.

In this track, Manson refers to the song Revolution 1

You say you want a revolution.../ You say you want an evolution...                                                                                -The Beatles

Then Manson: 

You said you wanted evolution
The ape was a great, big hit
You say you want a revolution, man
And I say that you're full of shit

 

Now, the Orwell quote: "You're only a rebel from the waist downwards," he told her

And in the song: A rebel from the waist down

President Dead

This is for the people that watch you

In the world of 1984, everyone is under constant surveillance from the government, and each other without end; through visual means via the telescreen or auditory from hidden microphones.

Gettin high on violence, baby

During seminars and the rally's of Hate Week the people of Oceania are expected- programmed- to become enraged and go into a wreck-less frenzy upon the sight on the screen of Goldstein, the black sheep of the Party. This implication of necessary destruction has a seeming effect on the populus, especially the children... think of Winston's neighbors, the Parsons, whose children happily attacked W. Smith for the thrill of attacking what they (correctly in-fact) saw as an alleged thought criminal.
