The Website:

The world is filled with zombies.  They look like humans, act like humans, possibly (probably) even think that they are humans, but they’re not.  They’re zombies.  They are unconscious.  They are neither self-aware nor self-determined.  They are mindless yet they hunger for brains.  They hunger for that one thing that eludes them.  They are the undead and they hunger for life.  Your life.

Don’t be fooled, don’t lie to yourself.  Wake up.  This is not merely a philosophical exercise.  No problem of other minds.  This is not an epistemological challenge raised by a skeptic.  No matter how sophisticated someone’s behavior is, behavior on its own is not sufficient to guarantee the presence of consciousness.  Most other people are actually nothing more than meaty automata, fleshy robots, zombies.

How do you know you are not a zombie?   Cerebrally, through the act of thought and awareness.  I think, thinking is a form of existence, therefore I exist.  Behaviorally, through the act of choice.  Choices people make with their own free will and full sense of selection, without any external influence and interference. The non-zombie chooses to behave in a manner that reflects their autonomy and their behavior is not to achieve an external reward or escape aversive stimuli in the environment.  Just remember, no matter how sophisticated behavior may be it does not guarantee sentience.  Not even the recital of these very ideas.  Question everything, even my own professed awareness.  Through questioning you are fighting against the zombies.  Don’t be a pussy, don’t be a slave, join the battle against the zombie horde!

What is SLAVE NATION?

A banner, a flag, a signal fire to others who posses sapience.  A sword thrust into the zombie heart.  SLAVE NATION is a record of psychological turmoil, political decline, cultural decay, moral degeneracy, and spiritual sterility.  SLAVE NATION does not represent simply death (which in Buddhist thought, is the supreme goal of Nirvana, only reached by the most enlightened beings), but a lack of real life, a dreadful, sterile limbo state devoid of redemption or spiritual meaning.  SLAVE NATION is myriad connotations of darkness, and underscores its suggestion of violence and destructive emotion.  SLAVE NATION is a tower, an image of the city, symbolizing cultural order and authority. A card in the tarot pack. SLAVE NATION moves from an idealized pure tower, through destruction, to an impossible, nightmare vision of an upside-down tower reminiscent of Bosch.  SLAVE NATION is the ruined tower.  SLAVE NATION is the hanged man.  SLAVE NATION is death.  SLAVE NATION is a repulsive image mixing vulgarity and cheap modern decadence, deliberately draining scripture of its biblical resonance.  SLAVE NATION is an ironic reference to the washing of Christ’s feet.  SLAVE NATION is the weepings of Jesus.  SLAVE NATION is you, hypocrite reader! – my doppelganger – my brother!

Bin gar keine Russin, stamm’ aus Kalifornie, echt deutsch.

si lunga tratta
di gente, ch’io non avrei mai creduto
che morte tanta n’avesse disfatta

Nam Sibyllam quidem Cumis ego ipse oculis meis vidi in ampulla pendere, et cum illi pueri dicerunt: Sebulla pe theleis; respondebat illa: apothanein thelo.

The website is themed in post-apocalyptic / dystopian media with heavy use of zombies (predominately) and robots in metaphorical as well as pictorial expression.  Using a variety of quotes, references, and images from classic dystopian sources such as 1984, Brave New World, and A Clockwork Orange coupled with popular works such as Taxi Driver, Videodrome, Logan’s Run as well as B-grade Horror Movies, SLAVE NATION focuses the troubled ideas expressed by its author through a cynical yet humorous lens.

Sometimes very basic, at others extremely cerebral, the articles posted here express intelligent opinions through psychology, sociology, and philosophy.  Where other blog sites are monosyllabic and one dimensional, the articles posted on SLAVE NATION posses depth of thought as well as cogency.

Some articles show the author as self deprecating while in others exalted, the fundamental theme of the author’s voice is ‘no nonsense’.  Scathing self assessment is only one expression of a website whose heart seems to be brutal honesty regardless of the consequences.  Much of the source material is driven by forays into abandonia, urban exploration as well as self exploration are major themes.

blasphemy:

“The horrible thing about the Two Minutes Hate was not that one was obliged to act a part, but that it was impossible to avoid joining in. Within thirty seconds any pretense was always unnecessary. A hideous ecstasy of fear and vindictiveness, a desire to kill, to torture, to smash faces in with a sledge hammer, seemed to flow through the whole group of people like an electric current, turning one even against one’s will into a grimacing, screaming lunatic. And yet the rage that one felt was an abstract, undirected emotion which could be switched from one object to another like the flame of a blowlamp.”

- 1984

The blasphemy section contains daily updates, rants, rages, blog posts, and general rebellion.

- A Clockwork Orange

“Thank God for the rain which has helped wash away the garbage and trash off the sidewalks. I’m workin’ long hours now, six in the afternoon to six in the morning. Sometimes even eight in the morning, six days a week. Sometimes seven days a week. It’s a long hustle but it keeps me real busy. I can take in three, three fifty a week. Sometimes even more when I do it off the meter. All the animals come out at night – whores, skunk pussies, buggers, queens, fairies, dopers, junkies, sick, venal. Someday a real rain will come and wash all this scum off the streets.”

- Taxi Driver

thoughtcrime:

“Hunters for gold or pursuers of fame, they all had gone out on that stream, bearing the sword, and often the torch, messengers of the might within the land, bearers of a spark from the sacred fire. What greatness had not floated on the ebb of that river into the mystery of an unknown earth! . . . The dreams of men, the seed of commonwealths, the germs of empires.”

- Heart of Darkness

The thoughtcrime section contains thought out, artful, and cerebral invocations of existence.

videodrome:

“I will knock down the Gates of the Netherworld,
I will smash the door posts, and leave the doors flat down,
And will let the dead go up to eat the living!
And the dead will outnumber the living!”

- Ishtar, The Epic of Gilgamesh

The videodrome section contains the video ramblings of an insane world.
