A rant
It's a Satanic philosophy that might does indeed make right. But is this a serious belief, or was it just professed by LaVey because that's the way human society works anyway and he was just pointing out the truth to those who were pretending it was otherwise?
And even if it's a motto those in power live by, is it actually true? I think not. If might really were right, if power really were in numbers, then the black race would be the mightiest race in America. Maybe the whites in power know this, because they keep pushing the black race down. Crappy education, crappy jobs for crappy pay - so bad that even two jobs can't make ends meet, crappy places to live, violence in every non-white neighborhood, and on and on. Oh, you get the occasional exceptional individuals rising up out of the poverty and becoming great, you get the occasional truly great people like Barack Obama, but for the most part it seems that those in power want things the way they are so that the black man stays down where they want him.
The USA may have officially abolished slavery in the 1860s, and the 1960s brought the civil rights movement, but nothing has really changed. All that's changed is that now it's a big secret that the blacks are still slaves. No one wants to admit it, but it's true. They may not be wearing shackles, they may not be on plantations picking cotton, they may be "free" to roam around and "do as they please," but it's all a lie. They're being made to work long hours for crappy pay that's just barely adequate for their needs, they're not getting the same quality or quantity of education as white children are, they're made to live in crappy conditions, and even though there's things like affirmative action, the law is still against them. The cops, who are always the enforcers of the slaveowners, make sure to "keep them in their place."
And while it's true that, ultimately, no one is free as long as governments exist, at least whites have better conditions and more pretend freedom than even the non-whites, especially the blacks, have. And it's sickening! This country that calls itself the land of the free and home of the brave is so full of shit that it's coming out their ears! Equal opportunity my ass! It is disgusting that half or more of a nation's population can be so poor and under-educated, and then there's an economic collapse and the rich people and the priveleged people sit there and wonder why! Could it be because, I dunno, HALF THE COUNTRY WAS THERE IN THE GUTTER ANYWAY? How can anyone expect USA to truly flourish as long as there are still so many people being kept down?
If nothing else, I would think that the realities of economics would motivate them to change things. Or, put more simply: greed. Yes, you greedy bastard CEOs, there's motivation for you: invest in education for non-whites, invest in bringing them up to the same level as the whites you've been sheltering for so long, and you'll have an influx of new jobs and, more importantly to you, more CONSUMERS. Give everyone better-paying jobs with benefits, making them happy and giving them more free time and money, and you get a serious influx of new customers ready and willing to buy buy buy! There's your solution to the economic crisis, everyone: STOP KEEPING THE NON-WHITES DOWN!
I fully expect 1% of all your profits when you hit it big by implementing my advice.
