Freytag-Loringhovenelsavon03

Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven

(1874 – 1927)

 

SIMILARITY

 

CIVIL LAWS PRESSURE BY MEANS OF INTIMIDATION

FOR RETRIBUTION OF “WRONG”

IS BLACKMAILS IDENTICAL ACTION

TO CONINUE VIBRATINGLY GYRATING

EVOLUTION PROCESS’

PERPETUUM MOBILE.

ALL LIFE – SAVAGE – CIVILIZED IS BASED ON

IMMORTAL MOVEMENT

OF FORCE – CONTRAFORCE –

EACH IN RIGHT OF EIXTENCE –

EACH IN HOSTILE RELATIONSHIPS’ FAMILYFEUD –

INTERMINGLING – TO MERGE INTO STATE.

SOCIETY –

UNDERWORLD ACT FROM JUST PRINCIPLE OF

SELF PRESERVATION TO

– IN VAIN –

ANNIHILATE EACH OTHER –

FINALLY TO EMBRACE –

UNEHTICAL –

FOR UTILITY.

ETHICS IS SOCIETY’S AS UNDERWORLD’S

DIPLOMATIC MEANS TO

INSURE SAFETY’ –

EQUALLY ABANDONNED AS SENTIMENTAL SECOND

FOR DYNAMIC PRINCIPALITY:

EXPANSION.

AS FOAVRO SMILES – UNDERWORLD EMERGES SOCIETY UP –

BY REVERSE – SOCIETY PLUNGES UNDER.

SIMILAR METHODS DIFFER ON SURFACE

BY CONVENTIONS’ TIMEIMPOSED

LAWAPPLICATION LEGALIZED BY FORCE – VICTOR –

CRIMINAL – CRIMINAL VICTORIOUS –

RULER BY GRACE OF POWER –

BOMBASTICALLY PROCLAIMING EVERBOYD’S LAW

LAWFUL-L- FOR BUT HIS PARTY.

(MUSSOLINI.)

ALL IS IDENTICAL

PIOUS POMP – SOLEMN MUMMERY – GRACEFUL GESTURE –

RESPLENDENT VARNISH –

HYPOCRITICAL FIDDLESTICKS OF SOCIETY –

AS UNDERWORLD’S UNADORNED HONESTY

BUT THROB OF BASIC PRINCIPLE:

ROTATION.
