Mystical Fairy Tales
Tools of the Professional Freeloader
Historically speaking, mystical fairy tales have fueled most wars. We can safely say they have triggered the worst brutality the world has ever known. If we allow mystical fairy tales to be used against us by violent freeloaders, an administration, or a regime, they chip away at our freedoms and capacity for reason.
Throughout time, fairy-tales have been the most effective tool for extracting a fraudulent living from hard-working people. In fact, mystical fairy-tales have always been the implement of choice because they take advantage of the quest for easy answers. Just to avoid facing up to reality, and thinking our way through tough issues, we turn to the mystic freeloader, who organizes great-sounding rhetoric into clever, bite-sized packages of "truth."
Political and religious freeloaders have, with relative ease, used various frauds to persuade us to surrender the fruits of our labor*. Most of the frauds revolve around the "virtues" of humility, self-sacrifice, and higher causes. Such so-called virtues are designed to generate guilt, demean productive people, and bring them down to the level of the "righteous." Once burdened with false guilt and selflessness, productive people will more readily sacrifice their assets to the bloodsuckers.
On a morality scale, prostitutes rank several notches above such bloodsucking freeloaders. The prostitute does not try to pretend they are morally righteous. In particular, prostitutes do not try to impose guilt on their Johns.
The exact opposite of science, mystic and political freeloading depends on naive people. They extract assets through:
Professional freeloaders use various age-old, higher-cause hoaxes to take advantage of the public. A few may even go on to establish huge congregations, or even totalitarian dictatorships. Various regimes brutally repress people with mystical authority, such as "the State." Russia, for example, is the most mystical country in Europe. Such deep-seated mysticism provided an ideal psychological setup for one of the most cruel, tenuous, mystically-based political systems ever know: Marxism, Stalinism, Leninism and Maoism. Acceptance of mystical/political authorities is needed to abandon individual freedom, render a nation servile, and murder millions of people for a meaningless "higher purpose."
These political and mystical tools are needed to establish lethal inquisitions. And so do oppressive regimes gain a foothold. In Soviet Union, and Red China. Stalin, Mao, Hitler, and their cronies, justified slaughtering millions of innocent, hard-working people in the name of a "higher good."
