The Retribalization Industrial Civilization
By Thomas Ivan Dahlheimer
The unnatural and inhumane regulation of ordinary people's lives by the elite of
large organizations and institutions is necessary for the
functioning of the current industrial-technological society.
The media is mostly under the control of large organizations that are integrated into
the system. Therefore, to make an impression
on society with articles, letters to editors, essays etc. is almost impossible for most
individuals and small groups. The result is
a sense of powerlessness on the part of non-elite members of society who have an important
message or insight to share with others,
a message or insight that the elite do not want published or read.
Example of an insight:
The United Nations' recent World Conference Against Racism exposed the true
history of the Catholic Church, and also, but to a lesser
degree, both some Protestant churches as well as our nation. The elite of the Catholic
Church as well as both the elite of some
Protestant churches and our nation's federal government denied indigenous people
their basis human rights, and in doing so, caused
genocides, holocausts, ethic cleansings, slavery, grand theft of indigenous
people's homelands etc., therefore, if the elite
predecessors of the present-day elite were responsible for such terrible atrocities,
what might the present-day elite be guilty of?
To blindly trust in their moral guidance, as many do, is to abandon reason, an essential
component of a good moral conscience. And
this, in turn, leads to more and more atrocities.
Example of a message:
Originally, or back in the Garden of Eden, human beings were non-violent and therefore
did not kill animals for food and clothing.
And now-a-days there are a growing number of Christians whose hearts have been softened
by the Spirit so that they are now NATURALLY
non-violent and therefore believe that killing animals for food and clothing is wrong and
should be outlawed. I am one of those soft
hearted Christians, we believe in a vegetarian Garden of Eden diet, after all, the
scriptures, as well as the Catholic Church, teach
that Jesus came to restore creation to its non-violent original condition, the Word of
God says: "the lion shall eat straw like
the ox". For those of us whose hearts have been softened it's a natural human
behavior to be kind to animals, however the elite are
still opposed to the extent of our kindness to animals. The elite of the Catholic Church
teach that animals do not have rights and
that there is nothing wrong with eating meat, even when there is available an abundance
of other kinds of food to eat. Because the
elite of the Catholic Church once claimed that indigenous people did not have basic human
RIGHTS, and also because they still have
not revoked the Papal Bulls that denied them their RIGHTS, it's therefore against
reason, an essential component of a good moral
conscience, for we non-elite Catholics, to put blind trust in our church's elite
hierarchy (as most Catholics do) - when they teach
that "animals do not have RIGHTS", they have a right not to be killed and eaten, nor have
their skins used for clothing.
On EWTN, the U.S. Catholic Church's television station, the
commentator of a weekly program called Christians who are soft-hearted
and are therefore NATURALLY opposed to not only the legalization of the killing of animals
for food and clothing, but also opposed
to the legalization of products that are addictive and harmful, such as alcohol, tobacco
and gambling, the "NEW PURITANS". However,
he stated that because of our positions on these moral issues we are therefore opposed to
"freedom". In respect to these moral issues,
I believe that he, as well as most modern-day Christians, including most of the Western
nations' elite, are confusing "freedom" with
sinful hard-hearted hedonism.
Because of the present-day so-called "free press informational system", a brainwashing
system, some activists (not including myself)
have come to believe that violent actions are necessary to get their message out to the
great multitude of brainwashed servants of the
powerful elite.
The current elite-run industrial-technological society cannot, without a great effort by
non-violent revolutionaries (like myself), be
broken down into freedom-loving, small, autonomous communities, such as primitive tribal
communities, because the elite have a system in
place wherein production depends on the collective cooperation of very large numbers of
people.
During the earliest stage of the industrial-technological society - people lived in
harmony with the natural order of human behavior,
and did so, by living in primitive tribal communities, wherein their natural human needs
were being fulfilled. But then something
unnatural and inhumane occurred, the elite of that time came to believe that if they were
to break up the primitive tribal communities
by separating families from each other - this radical transformation of the system would
help it to progress economically, however, by
making this radical transformation of the system, they created a system that exists to
satisfy the system's needs and not natural human
needs.
The elite of the mainline Christian Churches in the U.S. are influencing their people
to not live in harmony with the natural order of
humane behavior, by not teaching them to transform their lives, by assimilating into the
primitive tribal people's culture, a cultural
that exists to satisfy natural human needs. This assimilation should have occurred when
none-tribal white people of the European
industrial-technological society immigrated to the Americas, where the indigenous red
TRIBAL people and their homelands were discovered.
We still have not - in a civilized and humane way - immigrated into the Americas, however,
a belated assimilation/tribalization can and
should occurred at this present-time in the evolution of human history.
I am not advocating that people who are now a part of the industrial-technological society
return to a primitive, hunting and gathering,
tribal lifestyle, but that we should move beyond an excessively elite run form of society
to a new form of tribal living. The hippie
communal style of the 1960s is not the new form of tribal living that I am advocating,
although, I believe that it was a step in the
right direction. We need to incorporate the essence of primitive kinship tribalism into
the system in order to get the system to exist to
satisfy natural human needs.
The current system forces people to behave in ways that are increasingly alien from the
natural order of human
behavior.
Example 1:
The system needs scientists, mathematicians and engineers. It can't function without them.
So heavy
pressure is put on children to excel
in these fields. It isn't natural for an adolescent to spend most of his/her time sitting
at a desk absorbed in study. A normal adolescent
wants to spend his/her time in active contact with the real natural world. Among primitive
peoples the activities that children are trained
to do are in harmony with natural human behavior. Among American Indians, for example, boys
were trained in active outdoor pursuits - just
the sort of things that boys like. But in our society children are herded into crowded
indoor class rooms to study technical subjects,
which most do with resentment.
Example 2:
The elite think that they need to prolong young adults' sexual inclinations and
behavior in order to
efficiently prepare
them for occupations in the system. Instead of preparing young adults for marriage, by
helping them to stay in harmony with their natural
biological time table, as primitive tribal societies did, (young adults married by the
age of sixteen) they prolong adolescents, and by
doing so, they promote sexual perversion, which causes young adults to have multiple sex
partners, which in turn causes a venereal disease
health epidemic as well as unwanted pregnancies which in many cases end with abortion. In
addition, this problem with the elite also
creates a lot of fatherless welfare recipient families.
Example 3:
The government elite regulate education and commerce so that multitudes of ordinary people
are pressured into working like mindless
machines in factories that product large amounts of unnecessary fossil-fuel-using
products that pollute the earth's ecosystems as well
as cause many deaths and health problems, and this is another way in which the elite -
unnaturally and inhumanely - regulate ordinary
people�s lives.
Example 4:
And another - unnatural and inhuman - way wherein they regulate ordinary people's
lives is by passing building code legislation that
forces people to build and live in big, fossil-fuel-using, single-family-dwelling, houses
that also pollute the earth's ecosystems
as well as cause many deaths and health problems, and in order to buy and maintain big
houses they have to work EXTREMELY hard, and
this is an unnatural and inhumane hardship-regulation imposed upon them by the elite.
Example 5:
The governmental elite also - in an unnatural and inhumane way - regulate ordinary
people's lives - by not introducing and
passing legislation to make the automobile industry produce and sell small,
fuel-efficient, automobiles. Big automobiles cost
more to buy and drive and therefore ordinary people are pressured to work
EXTREMELY hard in order make enough money to be able
to afford to buy and drive them, and this is another - unnatural and inhumane -
hardship-regulation imposed upon ordinary people
by the governmental elit.
Because of the constant pressure that the system exerts to unnaturally modify human
behavior, there is a gradual increase in the
number of people who cannot or will not adjust to society's requirements: fraudulent
welfare recipients, youth-gang members,
counter-cultural hippies, cultists, anti-government rebels, radical environmentalist
saboteurs, dropouts and many other
resisters of various kinds.
The current system does not exist to satisfy human needs. Instead, it is human behavior
that is being unnaturally modified to
fit the needs of the system. Therefore, if the system is not radically transformed,
so that it exists to satisfy natural human
needs it will soon self-destruct into anarchy.
