Here's an epithetic
Caught at one more remove
We came into the game to say who's to blame
chances in your town
waiting for the showdown
To Mr. Philip Josef HASSLER
“But when Lucilius brandishes his pen,
And flashes in the face of guilty men,
A cold sweat stands in drops on ev'ry part,
And rage succeeds to tears, revenge to smart.”
-Dryden
I hope this you letter finds you well. I would like it better if never reaches you because you're free. From what I hear, in any case, you've interior freedom. I've never met you and know you only from whatever wasn't scrubbed online. I hear your satire got you into trouble. The tracks I heard were cathartic in a crazy age. Satire is a job which becomes more dangerous the more memorable it is.
Every case I've heard of where someone is demonstrably injured (as opposed to offended), it's the satirist. In antiquity Aesop and Boethius were said to have been executed. One Ali Ferzat in Syria had his hands broken so he didn't draw again. In France, Voltaire was imprisoned. A cartoonist in Malaysia faced 43 years in prison. And, apparently, a man was sentenced to 10 years in Austria.
I don't know Austrian law, haven't read the judgement but I am curious as to their reasoning:
It was difficult for me fathom, however offensive you were, whatever neurotic was on the bench, you could have merited such brutal punishment. Was it perhaps because an imaginary person was so insane that satire caused she/him to commit a horrific crime? If so, why didn't they blame his/her imaginary psychotherapist.
I don't understand why hate is treated as an egregious emotion. In the commission of a crime, is hate more particularly odious than Anger? Love? Pride? Desire? Jealousy? Wouldn't amusement be by far the more sinister? Desire for wealth or power? Wait, go back, why is there no category for amusement crimes?
This is nonsense. Singling out hatred is the result of a sustained and longstanding application of the Hegelian dialectic. A term and its definition are shifted by small increments, very gradually. They come to designate something quite different while the literal definition remains the same.
In the case of “hate”, it has become a crime in itself. Malfeasance involving hate is singled out as especially evil. Disagreements over legitimacy are determined by alleged hate. A person is immoral and more dangerous if they hate. It has even become evidence of guilt. So if someone is malignant, sardonic, unforgiveable.
The power of the method is astonishing. The power to make gravely unacceptable, meriting ostracization punishment. The term Aufheben der Kultur in the tradition of the Frankfurt school is just as much “prepare the culture” as “cancel culture”, and both are implemented de facto.
If someone is assaulted, I draw your eye to the animal who wipes out more human beings, Far from medical advances making them more benign, the Mosquito will literally remain the most deadly delivery vector. So bring the music.
If anyone claimed they committed a crime because of you, no specific allegations are public, I've yet to even see direct accusations. So 10 years. A friend of mine a Portugese veteran tells me when he was younger, if you were at a bus stop a maladroit comment could ensure from that day forth nobody would ever see you again.
American rap music is bloated with “I'm going to do this, I'm going to do that, murder, intimidation, drug dealing.” It's not appropriate for kids, but it's not the reason kids get involved in crime. You did. Unforgiveable. You moved on a propaganda monopoly – a powerful tool knocked from the hands of some powerful people. Lucrative as ‘tis, can be as bad a prize as you could be caught holding.
“3. Manslaughter
No mandatory minimum (unless with a firearm – then minimum is 4 years).
Mean sentence: Typically 4 to 10 years, depending on aggravating/mitigating factors.”
That's a machine learning description of Canada's manslaughters routinely less draconian than Austria's hate speech laws. A substantial portion of people reside in less than 10 years for taking a human life in some stupid blunder. In Canada, the maximum sentence for hate speech is about five years, though it's usually deployed as an exacerbating factor in sentencing.
I've never heard a case where some rant earned the maximum here. Over they I guess they convicted you of the maximum, which I find unsettling and it's fair to say you have courage: you knew you were wandering into deep waters.
I was shocked when I heard about your sentence. Related accusations have been proposed as crimes in Canada, for any and all violations of federal criminal law, illegal emotion can merit 25 year sentences. This revolutionary proposal was ever so gently pushed aside rather than having the soil from which it grew sowed with salt. The system offered the Hegelian sleight of hand. Again shifts again without any change literal definition.
It works best on labile minds. That's why they ply an audience young as possible. A parent can be imprisoned for 5 years, there are psychological quacks aplenty.
I remembered to write you when I began reading Juvenal's satires recently. the ostensive dishonesty,. a time tested reference point to key positions. Essentially all the universities in Canada are like that, and the credentialism of the justice system is on its way. Justice systems are set over time, criminal law is designed to be comparatively robust. It's supposed to be inflexible, not easily unfucked.
I've been seeing wild inconsistencies in sentencing here in Canada. Juvenal hating watching Rome's spiritual decay. As several of the most successful military thinkers have indicated: Breaking the spirit of your enemy is crucial. spirit is broken first. Disturbingly recognizable 2,000 years later.
We are exposed to artificial methods of reorganizing our minds. From an early age, susceptible to dialectical manipulation. Which need only synthesize new connections without changing the literal definition. The addition of a variety of associations so the meaning of the word seems the same.
A suitably prepared neural network can make remarkably swift and indirect associations. However, when the reference point “gold” has become autonomous
The introduction of data pertaining to an incomplete mental, exacerbates out blind spots. Cognitive load is why people find disagreement stressful. The introduction of facts creates an involuntary cognitive load.
But we can also be shielded can be trained to instinctively turn on anyone who strays too close to the truth.
Thought crime today? Why? Because you're filling in blanks about how we got here and plainly stating where we are.
illegal tender. Clearly hate is illegal. Bemusement? Confusion? Have we gone far enough to prohibit delighted surprise? What sort of discernment? Not discrimination. Are we allowed to see the differences and diversities in our environment?
Juvenal's satires are a good example, satire pillories ethnic stereotypes, mock sexual depravity. Some characters prefigure today's fashionable “intersectional identities”. people whose identity is built on moral deformity. People leaving them incapable of repentance, the only vestige of shame is hypocrisy. Juvenal shocks the reader by portraying monsters as monsters. He hated to see an empire built on generations of blood in the process of decay. There was no retrieving past events, but he could force his contemporaries to behold their situation.
The highest aspiration of rap is dopamine dealing, violence and gangsterism. Drug culture is killing by the hundreds of thousands in America, actual events being, if nothing else, the sound track of this rap culture. Not everybody's cut out to be a gangster.
Your sentence in Vienna was not because you were crude. It was the result of verisimilitude. “Extremist” in the opinion of a handful of spooks. It's illustrative of your condition. It's a pattern that seems to repeat itself across the west: Where a state has begun to fail its key functions, it is particularly inept at identifying the source of decay.
You took the preselected group of songs which were contagious, popular and familiar and introduced lyrics, ideas in themes which are heavily suppressed. Glorious. When I send this, I will have to make a back-up. It can be hard to find. The internet archive used to have a copy of most of your work but who knows who runs the site and, inevitably, removed them. I am relatively certain your music is instructive in discovering social engineering.
Prison is an expensive accommodation. If the government is prepared to spend hundreds of thousands of Euros to keep you locked up, you can be sure that when you come out they will invest time and money to limit your distribution and surveil your activity.
You portraits are shocking insane, but because they depict monstrosities.
Should people who listen be impugned as viciously as from Mark 5:4 ... “he had many times been left secured with fetters and chains, he had snapped the chains and broken the fetters to pieces, and no one could master him.”... Unfortunately this legal condition does not rely on any other criminality. Allowing insane people to lock you up for ten years is criminal. You know as well as they do that is a decision to run it out this way,
They were perfectly happy to make an example of you. Everyone knows it takes litter to trigger psychotics. And you dropped a cement truck where a feather would do. That's progress!
Don't hate the Dinka People. I think we're allowed to hate tall people as long as I don't mention their average height. That would by implication, although height in itself is not a prohibited grounds of discrimination, thus constitute illegal discrimination based on ethnic and national origin.\
[CSIS[Canadian Security Intelligence Service], Word from American Secret Service has it CSIS is a leaky ship. x]
American rap music is “I'm going to do this, I'm going to do that, murder, intimidation, drug dealing.” Punished not so much for the zeitgeist, but the specifics of their crime.
