More trash workmates
Today 5 of us are in 'civilian' clothes, we travelled to St James' in a coach with Team 2... who, apparently, found my Cyberdob tshirt so hillariously funny that they took, en masse, to making fun of it and shouting comments at me. They were behaving like ignorant, spiteful schoolchildren, fucking cunts... I had no idea why the phrase 'cyberdog' has such a big impact on the mundanes, but apparently it does. I stood to the side with a few of the more-responsible minority.

I argue with all of them about everything, from recycling (they don't do anything, and don't see the point), to tolerance of people who look different, to the simple way we use English (they swear more than they talk, use stupid phrases all the time, and I stick to clear, concise logical non-fun English).

Anyway. I chose to live amongst the untermensch to learn about them, and I've largely learnt: We are right about them.

Online for an hour
Had a nightmare shift.. well, the work itself was ok, but, the social aspect was terrible. The things that the guys do to each other is terrible, irresponsible, short-sighted and plain stupid.

But I'm not here to enjoy the "Untermensch" by Vexen Crabtree (2004), I'm here to show them a better way. And so I do.

But I escaped as soon as I could, and am now online until 8pm, in Hammersmith as usual, after 2 pints with two of my more amicable, normal, workmates. My next duty is 5pm tomorrow... I don't fancy going back to work accomodation, but, not many sensible options!

Cultural Religion Versus Scholarly Religion
Cultural Religion Versus Scholarly Religion

The conclusion reads:

"It is difficult to say if a religion is what is believed by most of it's followers, or if a religion is what is preached by it's scholars. Frequently the formal doctrine of a religion contradicts what the popular beliefs are of most of it's adherents.

The grassroots of a religion is nearly always a watered-down, mixed-up, confused and ignorant set of cultural traditions and folk lore mixed in with popularist beliefs. The more formal scholarly religion is often complex, more complete, demanding to study and frequently convoluted as the religions' scholars debate it's weakspots and difficult spots. The more difficult the area of study of a religion, the more maze-making it's scholars will do in attempts to explain away irrationality.

You will need to engage the grassroots religion or the scholarly religion in different circumstances. Frequently you will need to address cultural beliefs amongst the religions' followers, who are more stupid; and address more scholarly concerns and political concerns amongst the religions' scholars and leaders. So what you consider a religion to be is a contradictory mix of both what the leaders say the religion is, and what the actual believers believe. The difference between the intellectual top of a religion is normally quite an opposite to the grassroots bottom of the same religion!"

Workmates
I chose my job, apart from the genuine desire to work for Europe, to get close to "normal" people. But I hate it. I work with the lowest scum of the Earth. My workmates epitimize trash culture at its worst, I'm actively insulted and attacked for owning books that aren't SAS biographies, for being interested in how things work and for being, basically, intelligent and sensible.

The kids here go out and get drunk every weekend, the only knowledge they have of Germany outside of our large work premises is where the pubs and brothels are. They are the worst of the worst, giving England a bad name whilst at the same time our job (collectively) is to promote harmony worldwide (with a British-interest bias, of course). I don't drink much, but this lot make me want to go T-total!

I am learning a lot from them about the mass of humanity that I normally stand above. That's what I want - to be able to live effectively amongst the mundanes, even the worst mundanes, the racists, the violent, the criminals and worst of all, the morons and stupids, live among them so I learn how to deal with them better. Well I've learned a lot.

But as far as fitting in goes, I'm the philosopher amongst violent degenerates, Simon from Lord of the Flies, Zarathustra preaching to those who wont listen and don't understand.

For example... no-one else in my block (of 20 people) puts their recycling in the recycling bins... they put any trash anywhere, meaning nothing gets recycled. The seniors don't care and scoff at the idea of recycling and pointless, "who cares about recycling?", "who cares about the environment, I'll be dead!".

Nonetheless, except when drunk and at their most moronic, I have friends here. Obviously I'd trust my life with them, and they'll do the same.

Conversation is nearly always misogynistic, moronic, everyone reads The Sun. Although I get respect soemtimes for reading proper newspapers and for being the ... work-unit sage (although they don't know me well yet in that sense), I have next to nothing in common with anyone here!

I've learned a lot... but I might give up on these reprobates and leave after a few years, rather than as long as I originally planned. If promotion goes well, I'll stay. Or maybe I'll move into the Information Systems department first and give that a go.

Life plans are changing too, I'm wanting to buy a house and build a base for myself, so I can get more stuff done. Work takes up a lot of evenings and weekends. But at least I'm online!

Morons
the worst thing about these morons, is that they're my age. They're immature, irresponsible, inconsiderate, obnoxious, pointlessly matcho, misled, hopeless and a waste of space and government welfare: They deserve nothing. Most of them *have* strength of character, but apply it fully into being a complete moron and chasing each around for sex and short term pleasure.

They were boasting about times they've had a gf but secretly had sex on the side... one guy went "Well, from my girlfriends' point of view, we're still together", and another could only refer to women as "birds" and repeated the phrase "pot a bird" (i.e., sex) over and over, "I like potting birds, there's nothing wrong with potting birds, I like the slutty ones who don't care about anything"

They talked about, wait for it, this is particularly ironic and was grating and difficult to listen to, about morals and they all agreed amongst themselves they respected morals and those who stick by them... yet all appeared to completely have the strength of character to actually control their own obnoxious behavior.

One of them was white, the other four or five were all black, and was so disguisted I eventually excused myself from the room and went and sat in the cafeteria for a while. I hate black culture, and I hate the moronic criminal white culture that exists amogst uneducated britons.

It's not their faults, I guess, that they're like that, but they don't honestly try to make themselves better people. They don't help anyone, they're purely selfish and all their aims are short term self gratification... in short, they don't deserve the help of society, and such help is wasted on them.

All of them need to be conscripted and taught, underneath steel fucking boots, to have some respect for authority and self development.

Misogynistic, sexist, clueless morons whose strenghts they apply fully to their biggest weaknesses: their matcho culturally-enslaved lack of personality that they like to cultivate at the expense of anyone who ever dated or put emotional trust in any of them.

(Apologies anyone who bothers to read all that...)

Very Untermensch People
I'm in a bad mood today... I hate stupid people, it's only been three days at this government course, and they are all the most worthless horde of pointless, pathetic, annoying mundanes ever... their language is disguisting, their thoughts are worthless and degrading to modern mankind.

I've been having homocidal thoughts today, I think I'm in a bad mood...

[Hitler] Maybe if I kill those I deem to be untermensch, the world will be a better place, and even if people hate me, I will know I am doing right[/Hitler]

They can't speak normally, or communicate, they moan and whine constantly, they have no concept of having to work or think in order to get results. They've all learned pretty quickly that I am better than all the qualified staff when it comes to both IT problems and... wait for this... English. Yep. The course leader is poor at English...

This is the arse end of humanity, in deed, and it stinks of you know what.

I have decided that certain work isn't for me... I find myself unable to deal with these people. I know, intellectually that it's "not their fault they're the way they are", although none of them are actually disabled or slow, etc, not medically, there must be reasons for them to come out like that. I was under the illusion that inner city drop outs were supposed to be tough, or strong, in some ways, these people are merely parasites, weaklings, and modern unnatural society cultivates them, when in the natural world, nature would kill them.

If only the solutions to such problems didn't involve rather extreme tactics! Just thank the fates that Vexen doesn't have any power! We are also overpopulated... it would be so nice to kill (ahem) two birds with one stone. Or grenade, etc.

Yeah... my future career is *not* going to be any one where I'm side by side with people like this, I don't think I react well at all.

OK, I'm going to go cook and try to forget about it... the above text is exaggerated for dramatic affect... I'm not actually that pissed off, just overwhelmed.
