The word “civilization” makes almost everyone think of all the great advances in science and technology as well as all the comforts in life, but the truth about it is entirely the opposite. By and large, modern civilization has been an unmitigated disaster, as Dr. Kevin Barret so aptly points out in his brilliant piece “Twilight of the Psychopaths.”

The prevailing recipe for civilization is simple:

1) Use lies and brainwashing to create an army of controlled, systematic mass murderers;

2) Use that army to enslave large numbers of people (i.e. seize control of their labour power and its fruits);

3) Use that slave labour power to improve the brainwashing process (by using the economic surplus to employ scribes, priests, and PR men). Then go back to step one and repeat the process.

The rest is well worth reading – an extraordinary man of incredible integrity and character.
