And in the centre of all this there\\\'s this huge enormous twisted around memetic cancer of glorifying \\\"Unite for glory against the other! Waaaaaaar! Kill and die for us, you weak-kneed milksops!\\\" casual CatchPhrase mass-murderers with personalities matching what in real world terms would be the most genuinely evil/in-control malevolent beings on the planet, against very convenient non-existent threats as the epitome of human achievement.

In reality it\\\'s just us, here, alone, with each other, and yet almost all stories focus on is that we should kill, torture, and condemn each other, rather than fight together against nature. Narratives turn slaughter into the inescapable status quo towards which we should always strive, and without which all society would stagnate, \\\"as social-Darwinistic cleansings wouldn\\\'t be fulfilled, and everything would get booring if tranquility, harmony, and benevolence ever prevailed, so let\\\'s embrace the chaos\\\"...

Matter-of-fact analysed to its parts it\\\'s all such a horrible mess of absolute evil lauded as something good beyond approach, and anybody who objects in the slightest is somehow distorted into a wanton sadistic mass-murderer, regardless how pacifistic and compassionate despite severe damage, or in real world terms completely harmless, mentally ill/handicapped or victimised people twisted into convenient catch-all scapegoats, even though they don\\\'t remotely tend to be the actual problems in the real world.

Berlusconi\\\'s type on the other hand actually \\\'\\\'is\\\'\\\', but as long as anything whatsoever, no matter how intensely malevolent, feels \\\'\\\'empowering\\\'\\\' it is deemed automatically good by memetic values systems in media, whereas anybody who is broken from too much damage or torture and just dies away from it is deemed the worst threat to humanity ever (tm)... and the thing is that this isn\\\'t just me. It\\\'s much of the impression that North American media in large doses gives an impression to a large part of the rest of the world... as absolute evil painted in gold, then deemed beyond reproach. Its influences eventually drown, and destroy us all into gaining a KnightTemplar SocialDarwinist AcceptableHardLuckTargets SadistShow DeadBabyComedy BloodKnight DiproportionateRetribution eternal torture-fetischism \\\"morality\\\" that is the absolute opposite of any genuine morality. It\\\'s very DarknessInducedAudienceApathy BrainBleach depressing after drowning in it for a sufficiently long run. TheInternet has obviously made the effect even more intense.

Hence, it\\\'s definitely not about a single character. It\\\'s about being extremely uncomfortable with what she and plenty of others represent, and the tendency to applaud that in combination with writing ridiculously overboard and inaccurate distortion- torture- ridicule- and condemnation- ThePowerOfHate orgies on almost exclusively completely harmless types of people in CompletelyMissingThePoint mergers with completely opposing types of mentalities, whereas the in real world terms \\\'\\\'genuinely evil\\\'\\\' are mixed together with benevolent aspects that just aren\\\'t connected to that type of personality in reality. It\\\'s very confusing, and I can\\\'t make any sense of it.

Gosh knows that I\\\'ve tried (read my story), but it doesn\\\'t seem to help, as writers who read it simpyl assume that \\\'\\\'I\\\'m\\\'\\\' thinking like one or the other of the characters (well, technically there are pieces of me in Ryoga and Peorth, and to a lesser extent Nabiki\\\'s raw need, if none of her expressions, direction, or extremes). It\\\'s a side-effect of makign an excruciating effort attempting to pattern both sides of extremes that I\\\'ve been ridiculously exposed to I suppose. Each side assumes that I\\\'m part of the other. Oh well.

Going off track again. I\\\'m tired.
