Iin, that i'd like to use my writing talents to foment war/conflict?

Writing has always come easy to me, and I despise people for a number of reasons. I also loathe the intelligence-denigrating, athlete-worshipping, proudly ignorant societies humans have created, and would demolish them if I could.
How to, though?
Perhaps I could write articles, essays, novels, ect. which glorify aggressive warfare for its own sake (as some people actually did in the years leading up to World War 1.) OR I could write about how nuclear war wouldn't be that bad, or that radiation isn't harmful, or that the missile exchanges would be limited if they ever occurred. Or I could write to convince people that bio-engineered viruses are necessary for our national security, or something like that. (I WOULD have to become a respected, well-known author first, though.)
As society continues to dumb down, more and more semi-educated dolts out there might take my words to heart! And World War Three might finally come to pass...
And then maybe we'd be on our way back to being what we ought to be, a TRIBAL species living within nature (if not extinct.) At least we'd be done with things like ever-increasing government surveillance of daily life, institutionalized brainwashing of the masses, predatory taxation, sports hero worship, and mass commercialism!

Is It Normal?
Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

  • You think you'de be the first person to promote warfare? The first person to try to influence society with absurd notions? My point being, many authors, politicians, directors etc. have attempted to sway the masses with little effect. People generally reject ideas that could cause their death in the foreseeable future. As easyily manilulated as you think society is and as complelling as you think your writing may be, I don't believe you will single handedly bring about the destruction of our way of life.

  • It's normal if you like war. Eight years in the Marine Corps will show you what 6 quarts of blood on the floor looks like.
    War is a bad thing. No one is safe during a war. 12 million Jews were abducted, enslaved, raped and euthanized during World War 2. Thousands more blacks, gays and handicapped people were also murdered. Thousands more in the Bosnian War. Thousands more when Saddam Hussein tested Chem/Bio weapons on his own people the Kurds.
    Genocide and war are the most brutal and life changing events in human history. To promote the massacre of entire civilizations is the wrong way to find meaning to your life.
    You're nothing more then a fraction of the world's timeline, so try not to take yourself all-together too seriously, okay?

  • Sounds like you want to write propaganda. Furthermore you sound very misanthropic and totalitarian. Have you read 1984 by George Orwell? I think you might enjoy it since you personify their society.

  • I say go for it, if you can succeed than you definitely deserve it. But you have to promise that if you do write something like that you somehow get that knowledge to me. I wanna read it!! :)

  • I don't think you want to start a war... but a peaceful revolution would do us good. Getting people to see things your way through writing is an awesome thing to do. Trying to get people to kill each other over it... not so much.

  • I honestly believe anything you write would be completely irrelevant if your post is any indication of your abilities.

    You name a couple of fairly important issues, but none that I would want to bomb someone over. Plus, you lump some dumb isssues in there, too, like sports hero worship and commercialism?

    Good luck!

  • You sound like a Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini, a Hussein...
    Remember what happened to those guys?

    ...I'll give you a hint, you can't ask any of THEM.
