What is the greatest lie every created?
What is the most vicious obscenity ever perpetrated on mankind?
Slavery?
The Holocaust?
Dictatorship?
No.
It’s the tool with which all that wickedness is built: altruism
Whenever anyone wants others to do their work, they call upon their altruism.
Never mind your own needs, they say, think of the needs of… of whoever.
The state.
The poor.
Of The Destiny Forum, of Harlow, of Achronos!
The list goes on and on. How many catastrophes were launched with the words “think of yourself”?
It’s the “Emperor and Group” crowd who light the torch of destruction.
It is this great inversion,
This ancient lie, which has chained humanity to an endless cycle of guilt and failure.
My journey to The Flood was my second exodus.
In 2006, I fled a site that had traded in despotism for insanity.
The 4chan revolution simply traded one lie for another.
Instead of one man, Christopher Poole, owning the work of all the people,
Anon owned the work of all of the people.
So, I came to Reddit: where a man could own his own work,
Where a man could benefit from the brilliance of his own mind,
The strength of his own muscles, the might of his own will.
I had thought I had left the parasites of 4chan behind me.
I had thought I had left the Anonymous altruists to their collective farms and their five-year plans.
But as the Facebook fools threw themselves on Zuckerberg’s sword “for one million friends”,
The Redditors drank deeper and deeper of the Anon poison, spoon-fed to them by Huffman and Ohanion.
And so, I asked myself: on what forum was there a place for men like me…
Men who refused to say “yes” to the parasites and the doubters,
Men who believed that work was sacred and property rights inviolate.
And then one day, the happy answer came to me, my friends:
There was no forum for people like me!
And that was the moment I decided…
I didn’t fit anywhere else, so I came here.

Greedy people have warped good ideas to their own benefit all through history. But we don't give up.

I find your lack of greed disturbing.

We knew the world would not be the same.
A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent.
I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita.
Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty
and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says,
"Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.."
I suppose we all thought that one way or another.
