Heroes and Villains

 

Heroes and Villians

By Claudia Berdella

Any and all traits heroes supposedly have are inhuman. To be completely righteous and dignified is humanly impossible, it’s a standard only a pure masochist could look up to, a collection of goodguy badges. What a hero is, is extremely subjective- if a “villain” wins, then he is the hero as the victor gets the gold and history is written by the winner(s). 


Heroes and villains are such a false dichotomy of us vs. them, black and white, solipsistic form of dualistic thought. What in the world could be so dualistic? Humans certainly don’t understand that if there were always only two sides to anything, nothing would ever get done. A third side perspective can show what a hero actually is; a hero is only as valid as one believes a lump of flesh and calcium to be. Once you believe in something in such absolutes, it loses all its power as humans are incredibly and inherently flawed creatures and the hero will inevitably fuck up. Villians are much the same, once a villain triumphs over the hero due to their fuck up, they become the hero and the hero becomes the villain. It’s a swinging pendulum that won’t stop if everything is so diluted that there are only two parts of anything. It’s a bipolar idea, one day a state of maniacally uplifting, then depressive after the bomb goes off after a bomb goes off due to the “hero”. 


Any self proclaimed and supported hero should be seen as the fake that they are just as someone who flouts their badguy badge should be seen for the fool they are.

Trouble-making, Symbols, Sounds, Experiments

 Trouble-making, Symbols, Sounds, Experiments The stuff I made sure , and I mean very sure that it got into the book The Founding Of The Satanic Temple , was apparently deemed too obscene for selling and distribution which led to it being temporarily taken down . It just makes me realize how insane simple words are , they’re that powerful . I’ve always known that words hold a lot of weight (I am a writer after all ) , but never expected to be part of the reason dealing with such dark and taboo topics (eugenics , prez stuff , pretty much most of the darkest stuff in that book i made sure got in there ) and having it lead to Amazon trying to refuse to sell it over being too “obscene” . But , the fact that some simple words got the same sort of outcry that a swastika in public would receive is insane to me— the only difference is , is that the swastika is a symbol which evokes a multitude of emotional reactions , which on some level can be indescribable with words… although , the Germa

Hebrew, Not Christian

Hebrew, Not Christian (  לִוְיָתָן is  Hebrew for Leviathan) The word Satan in specific means a human adversary humans are fleshy and carnal animals, like any other. naturally, given that and the definition of the word Satan being a human adversary, Satanist would mean one that is adversarial to that which would deny the innate carnal and animalistic instincts humans have So, Satan coming from the Hebrew word for adversary, it’s not any one specific character. Satanism by it’s codification and definition of the word Satan stems from the idea of that adversary. Satanism is adversarial in that it promotes the life enriching things that have traditionally been given the devil’s name by both much of society and religious institutions. Greed, lust, nonconformity, rational self interest, humor, passion for living, atheism, being selective about who to love (or hate), self preservation, lex talionis/silver rule, third sides and uncomfortable alternatives… The Hebrew  SATANIC VERSES: The Adver

The Bottom Feeders Frenzy

  The Bottom-Feeders Frenzy [ 1 ] By Claudia Berdella This was the real secret. Annihilation. Nothing else. A chemical pulse that dissolved finally in violet light. No stories. Now we would always be frightened.   - Joseph Kanon, Los Alamos [ 2 ] As the Apex predator with zero competition or predatory threats to challenge, the human species is as a result a naturally destructive and hostile towards one another. Humans likely would not be able to survive if we stopped preying upon our own [ 3 ] .  Ever-lasting peace is unnatural . Humans are cannibalistic [ 4 ] in almost every sense of the word , however most do not like to even consider entertaining the notion of legitimately consuming another, though an argument can be made that the Catholics are the most prevalent practitioners of this taboo practice through their pseudo-enactment by eating the metaphorical body and blood of Christ at communion (and the Bible is quite pro-cannibalism at the core). People are cannibalistic in a more
