Finis Contumeliam

Wednesday, 3 December 2014

It’s not normal that I post so quickly after my previous one, but I don’t think I can restrain my thoughts on this any longer. I have had enough of parents/teachers calling their kinds “Naughty”. You might as well call them “Dunce” or “Asshole.” Name calling, no matter which way you look at it, is bullying. I have been feeling ill as of late because of my dedication to my cause, but also because of the research required to accomplish my task. I am finding it hard to venture into controversial territory without feeling some form of ache or pain.

What. The. Fuck. Britain?

Monday, 1 December 2014

First day of the last month of this year – and it’s kind of a negative way to start out the final month, but I’ll try to be as positive as I can.

I am plain stunned and shocked beyond words in regards to how Britain, as a culture and country, seems to advocate physical punishment and other forms of cowardly and authoritarian “discipline”, while the remainder of the European continent is a comparatively authoritative and just place from a social and cultural as well as educational perspective. Does the continent condone “the rod” of corporal punishment? No, it does not. Does it support authoritarian behaviour towards our disciples? No, it does not. Does it try to micromanage the way we dress, act and look? No, it does not.

So WHY the HELL is this behaviour STILL prevalent in British society today!?

There is no beating around the bush. Using authoritarian or excessively punitive measures – WILFULLY and KNOWINGLY – is a sign of pure cowardice, especially if used as a first resort. Some people may protest, saying that such humiliating punishments did them no good. Think again.

Is that what YOU believe, or what you have been trained and conditioned to believe?

THINK.

It’s a bit late in the year, but come 2015, I intend to start the Cause fully and try to make a real difference. That’s one positive note for us to end on.

That’s It

Tuesday, 18 November 2014

That’s it.

I have had enough – I am disappointed with the general apathy of those I am trying to help, but I am not surprised. After all, conformity is a much safer option to standing up and speaking out against what one KNOWS to be wrong and oppressive. Sorry for the short post, but I just don’t give a damn at this point. I am severely fucking disappointed and fed up.

Class System and Uniform Abolition

Friday, 10 October 2014

I’m back from quite a long hiatus, as you can see. I have made some progress in regards to the abolition of school uniforms in Britain. So far, progress is minimal, as I only started recently. I suspect, however, that this British obsession with uniformity is down to the class system. Proponents of this archaic and divisive entity purport that it encourages equality and it is based on tradition. I, however, digress: The class system divides rather than unites. Rich, poor, famous or unknown, we are all humans, and I am fighting for the abolition of school uniforms in the United Kingdom as the first step of the Pax Raptorica. Freedom of expression is a VERY fundamental and basic human right, which is taken from the subjects of this nation far too young in life and imposed in a regimented and pro-authoritarian academic regime, where their input is limited and the demand on their output is almost extortionate in some cases – there is no individuality, no personal freedom – they are assigned identical clothing, identical appearances… conditioned into sheep, if you will. If we can act like the class system does not exist and treat ALL humans as equals, then maybe there could be a chance of change. If you value your individuality, then please take notice of these posts. Being older does not equal immediate respect, nor does it grant one the right to flaunt their power.

More Flyers – Spread the Word!

Tuesday, 23 September 2014

I have two additional flyers ready, both of which can be downloaded along with the initial flyer from the Promote the Cause page on this website. Download them, print them, post them wherever you can. Help me get the word out. The two new flyers are quite simple: One is anti-corporal punishment, the other is anti-school uniform. The former… well… do I really need to explain why this enraging and cowardly practice needs to end? The latter needs to go because it’s not doing anything. It’s counterproductive and it inhibits the creative and expressive side of the personality. The system may as well slap numbers on us and refer to us by numbers instead of names. We are not numbers. We are free humans – we are individuals.

Self-Reflection

Thursday, 18 September 2014

Today’s been quite a day – a day of discovery, and a day of self-reflection. Despite the growing numbers for my website and blog entries, I am starting to contemplate and reflect on what I am doing. Self-reflection, if you like. How do I know that what I’m fighting for will not be blown out of context by all the other revolutionaries that came before me? You might say: “You have logic and reason – and common sense, too.” Yes, that is true – but nobody is infallible. Those three qualities can only operate up to a peak point before your emotions start to cloud your judgement. Unlike many I fight against, however, I do not use my power and the fact that I am human to justify my negative traits. I only use it to explain why I do what I do – because nobody I know seemingly can… or will. I’m willing to continue with the cause, but I can’t do this alone. I will explain in a post tomorrow. In the meantime, all I can say is: Keep fighting for your freedom and rights, your individuality and independence matters. The “rod” must be destroyed – not spared,

Destroyed.

Fight for Individuality Begins

Wednesday, 17 September 2014

Since I am in an optimistic mood today, I think it’s time I should speak my piece: Let’s start the fight for individuality together and cast off the chains of sartorial oppression – this is only the first step. Don’t like being forced to wear something you don’t like just because you’ve been told to wear it with no given reason or explanation? Don’t. Wear what YOU want, express your creative side. We are not numbers, we are human beings, individuals with ideas, feelings and thoughts. If somebody questions you, then tell them it’s because it’s how YOU feel comfortable looking and it shows your overall personality, and, unlike those who demand blind obedience, you have a reason for doing so. Remember: Be authoritative, not authoritarian. Don’t succumb to someone’s wishes just because “they say so”. Without a reason, there is no logic, no respect – only tyranny and cowardice.

Update: Starting to spread the word/my disappointment and anger

Friday, 12 September 2014

Sorry for the delay, readers. I have had several lengthy episodes during the past three months, which have contributed to an extended personal depression. Let me bring you up to date on what’s been going on.

I have been tweaking and perfecting the Pax Raptorica so I can spread my knowledge and understanding of how to be a positive role model with others. Believe me, this was not an easy task – too many variables in order to fit in a single common category, but I did it in the end, thanks to three friends called “Logic”, “Reason” and “Common Sense”. I cannot do this alone – I need the help of all my viewers and readers, and anybody who wishes to see a positive change in the World.

Recently, however, I have been sorely disappointed and almost driven to uncontrollable rage by the hypocrisy and cowardice of those who call themselves “role models”. Let me explain: Here in Britain, authoritarian disciplines such as corporal punishment and order-giving (is that a real term?) are commonplace. The subjects are trained and brainwashed not to question the orders, whether in the home or school. Yes, there are some subversions of this social practice in this country, but the individuals who adhere to them are few and far between. It sickens me to think that the people we trust to lead us by example are also those who use said examples to justify their behaviour towards their subjects. The fact that they have to resort to punitive measures when they don’t get their way shows they are complete cowards, and rather than trying to see things from the subject’s perspective and trying to negotiate and communicate and understand, the inevitable happens. I hate to be so terse and unapologetically fiercely venomous, but it’s nigh time the British disciplinary system was reworked into a more authoritative – meaning “power with responsibility” and “governing fairly” – model. Enter the Pax Raptorica.

I do not wish to end on an angry note, so I shall leave you with one last thought: If you consider such behaviour to a friend or relative unacceptable, then would you do the same to your own offspring or disciples? Do you have the courage to understand and accept the simple common fact that domestic dictatorships are hurtful and destructive in the long run? Whether it be in the home, school or a workplace – the concept is the same… it is universal.
