You need to be ignorant to accept lies the State offers

Death worship is easily the biggest danger of our times. Almost without exception across the globe, we are becoming a cultic generation of death worshipers. For, the only assured thing in cults is preparedness for self-destruction, for the sake of the cult and its leadership. We are the dead. We of the 21st Century. Ruling over us are the gods of death. This is to say deities that rule over those who are dead, rather than gods who determine who should die, or when.

Ours is an increasingly xenophobic world full of fakery, falsity and in love with wooly materialism. Accordingly, the entire global community is easy prey to the gods of death. The starting point is a crossroads of the material appetite and the moment of death. The god of death, who is also the collector of the dead, arrives at this point. He connives to lie to you that the reason your appetite cannot be fed is a “camp” of outsiders. You must learn to passionately hate that camp, even as this god “walks you to salvation.”
