Life is NOT a bleach
I cannot think of a more telling metaphor for moral infection than the flush toilet: that ugly necessity, at least for the time being. For me, that sums up the extent to which we are all willing to abdicate taking direct social responsibility for the environment, and for our own morals. We fail to show respect for the excreted parts of ourselves, acknowledging them as part of our humanity: both for their morally healing and obscenely immoral aspects. And the absolute key "war criminal" in all of this is household bleach. It treats our waste as something to be poisoned, not worked with, and thus adds to an escalation of nature-war. Nature responds to these and other moral assaults with an earthy obscenity of its own: oozing filthy mud, flooding and disease.
Swearing as moral infection - and "reverse psychology" mind control
Moral infection works in a similar way. It often starts with things such as swearing: the "gateway drug" to moral infection. If, like most of us, you have been desensitised to swearing so much that you don't see a problem with it, then fine. The solution is not to stop using certain "raw words". These words are verbal excretion that help us get out painful or poisonous feelings from our system. The key is when to use them. Most of us might use some of these words in a lovemaking context (Yes you do! Don't deny it!), and in general this is fine. I think the issue comes when we use such words to attack and wound each other.
In essence, swearing as abuse is the most everyday example of mind control by social murder. It operates to silence dissent through shock-tactics. If you read my segment on the Judeo Capitalist axis, you will hopefully conclude that this is linked to an entirely theocratic social system, which conceals its most vicious and poisonous doctrines behind many masks.
Because many expletives are related to pain and mixing this (immorally) with sexual ecstasy, many religious groups - who (despite their inferiority) once stood for decent values of keeping language polite - have now decided that this fight is unwinnable and starting using expletives to win their arguments, especially with young audience. Other organisations, whilst not religious, certainly have no moral qualms whatsoever about appealing to traditional religious sentiments as a way of winning the propaganda war. They know it has become capture a young audience by being traditional, so they operate instead by doing the reverse: causing such a tidal-wave of obscenity to be unleashed that young people are either appalled and revert to tradition, or "crucify" themselves through swearing, drug, drugs and other forms of self-debasement.
The best evidence for this comes from the behaviour of many American heavy-metal audiences, who despite their often outlandish appearance and angry music are essentially promoting fear of the flesh and a form of Christian self-sacrifice in a way that would make the early Pilgrim Fathers whoop with joy. Their men wore black too - AND had the same types of beards.
If we trace back the spiritual ancestry of every "obscenicist" from Lenny Bruce onwards, traditional religion will never be too far away.
Plastics, aluminium and moral infection
The "plastic face" we see on many Hollywood celebrities (and beautifully exaggerated in that horrendous film "The Mask" starring Jim Carrey), as well as big shiny teeth, is a moral infection because it is meant to induce sickness. Nature is far from ideal or perfect, but these "plastic" forms of identity are really designed to chain us to nature in a different way by making us sick. The plastics in certain children's dolls and in certain food is similarly designed to makes us sick. It is no accident that many of the industrial processes used to create plastics, aluminium and bleaches are comparable. Fluoride is a poison and a known mind-control agent, yet we tell our children to brush their teeth with fluoride toothpaste.
Moral infection in music, cinema and other forms of art
Rapid flickering images and flashing lights are known to be ways of inducing confusion and opening the subconscious mind to dangerous forms of hypnosis. Cinema, television and the internet do this every day, and yet we barely notice.
Americans in the media are obsessed with dirty anal imagery and the word "ass". This is a legacy of their uptight Christian heritage, fear of the backside as 'Satanic', and memories of Jesus riding on a donkey. The use of this imagery - to humiliate and embarrass everyone from US Marine recruits to fictional characters in" love stories" is usually a ploy to shame individuals into war or and peaceful self-degradation. "Asses" can be whipped, and so can images of everything from Jesus to pornographic pop stars. The lack of care and general freshness, and the stifling use of obscenities to silence dissent, is a classic feature that specifically relates to American culture, but which is increasingly to be found the world over.
