I am Nat Danger

sometimes your distress does indicate you should stop and respect your limitations. at other times it's more of a baby aquatic mammal being introduced to water for the first time thing. Too bad the difference is so hard to tell.

This isn't dissonance by the way, it's perfectly logical to the fascist view. The state must always be ready to obliterate those it sees as enemies, but the people are responsible for their own well being. This is because the "State" is of course run by the ruling class, who in the heirarchical worldview are inherently superior and must be protected. The "people" are just the incidental by product of finding out who is (and by extension isn't) part of the in group. The logical conclusion of this is an industrial system where people, in order to save themselves, and facilitate their own well being, "join up." I'm going to say this out loud because it seems that not a lot of people have heard it, the armed forces of a society should not be a job. The defense of a people should only arise in the event that it is needed, and only by the people themselves. The very idea of a standing formal military is authoritarian.
