Masses are not asking for being saved

 



It is talked too much about waking people, about the salvation of the masses without considering that the masses do not want to be saved. The mass is mass, i.e. what comes to be kneaded, fashioned, and fitted. It is created for that. 
The dough of masses is made by one simple ingredient: complicity [1]. Complicity means accepting to be culprit without acknowledging it because what you do is what you are told to do. Complicity excludes the sense of responsibility because you just accomplish. You comply with what you are asked to comply with. But who is asking for that compliance? Others. Others "who" (but I should say "that", because the mass is living dough and not real humanity in terms of morals and thinking) are just complicit and without consciousness of their complicity. Complicity, in fact, means that you are involved in a long chain of accomplices without seeing the end of it, because the end is hidden,  Every human who is complicit is complicit in a power which is hidden beyond the visible but it manifests itself through the visible, and this has a name: Evil.

Evil is what is de-fective, i.e. what is lacking in making, because its power is to be inspirational, to create without creating but empowering, instead, Others in creating, it is a power beyond, which just sets in motion what will be made through kneading, fashioning, and fitting.
And those who claim to talk in the name of the masses, those who claim to sanctify masses as not responsible for their conditions because masses are hypnotized by the power in charge, are complicit as well of the same forgery, of the same long chain, because they collaborate in keeping alive the same narrative.
Masses are not elites, masses ask for living and having fun without suffering, possibly. This is their utopia, They are not interested in politics, in being awakened and saved. Their goal is to live Hic et Nunc without trying to differentiate themselves from animals.
They prefer to obliterate listening to that part that makes Man different from beasts, qua superat inferiores suas, quas etiam cum pecoribus communes habet [2], that part whereby it surpasses the other parts who/that has in common with cattle, because for sure it would trigger suffering, and this is, a priori, what masses want to exclude from their horizont.

PS.About the minority, who instead learns to listen to the transcendental hum and transcends the mass see my article in Academia

[1] For the concept of "complicity" see Giorgio Agamben Il complice e il sovrano
