"When does somebody become a wog? Your a wog when you say you are..."
:Sean Kennedy
What is a Wog you might ask? Well chances are that if your reading
this your a Wog and just don't know it yet.
See here's the thing about being a Wog. In order to become a wog all
you have to do is give up the lie. The lie that the world is a happy
place, that loves and caresses all the creatures in it. This is
bullshit. The world is a beautiful place, rife with constant struggle
for survival. Every animal, plant, insect, fungus, and bacteria on
this rock we call home, is fighting day in and day out for just one
more day in this world.
Humans are no different. Except we've been fooled into thinking we're
better, grander, than the rest of the creepy crawlies on this planet.
Being fooled by this lie, we've let ourselves become weak. There was a
time when a human, lost in the woods, would not only survive, but
would thrive. Where do you think all the different tribes came from?
People went into the unknown and lived there, making it home, until it
no longer supported their numbers and then they moved on.
Try that today: in 3 day's you'd be dead from lack of water because
you didn't know to dig at the base of curtain plants. Or maybe you'd
find a stream, so you'd live for a couple of more days until you
starved to death. If you got lucky maybe the weather would be halfway
decent and you'd last 14-16 days.
Well we plan on changing that.
No longer is mankind going to exist as a slave to it's own creations.
Today's society has made us weak, vulnerable, and depressed. We
weren't meant to live as slaves to jobs that serve no purpose other
than making sure money is exchanged for services that don't matter and
goods that will be thrown away after a couple of days.
That is the ultimate goal of this single Wog.
Your goal is probably different.
That's good. Diversity means success.
Some wogs want the complete remapping of society into a organized
secure communial state.
Some Wogs just want complete anarchy, with no leaders and no goals and no rule.
That's perfect. That's the Point! We all share the common goal: CHANGE!!!!
We all know it, society is spinning down the drain. We can feel it.
Like the bees can when the hive is melting due to high winds
and heavy rains. But like the bees we feel like we can't do anything
about it. After all bees can't fly in the rain. And we can't fight the
system right?
Wrong! (to keep the bee analogy going) Bees create the hive from
chemicals secreted by their own bodies, and can and in fact DO rebuild
the hive constantly, from the inside. They actually do not feel like
they can't do anything about the destruction of the hive, because they
know for a fact that they have the power to recover from anything.
We can do the same thing, theres no need to let society rot. We can
rebuild it, we can make it better, stronger...faster?(that sounds
familiar). We have the technology, we have the drive, all we lack is
the knowledge that We can fix this.
That is what being a Wog is all about. It's about Fixing this place
before we lose it.
It's about bettering ourselves so we can better society. It's about
maintaining personal discipline so when public discipline fails we can
step in and prevent suffering.
That's the goal of Wog: to reduce and prevent suffering on every level.
Don't agree with me? Great! Thats what we look for in a Wog, someone
who's not going to stand their and agree with everything put forth to
them. If they did that they wouldn't be a Wog, they'd be a sheep.
Sheep are animals that are grown and tended because of what they can
provide for the farmer, including food.
"Wogs are not food!"- Sean Kennedy
We are not the mindless masses that the TV generation was hoping for.
We do not expect life to come easy. We don't expect people to agree
with us. Hell we don't expect to agree with each other over every
detail.
But we change, we adapt. And when we can't adapt to our surroundings,
we adapt our surroundings to us.
That is what a Wog is.
or at least that is what I think a wog is. What do you think a Wog is?

BTW, this is in fact an

I really liked this quote. I have worked as a cashier for a corporation and i hated every minute of it for that exact reason. Currently I am a yard "boy" doing odd jobs and cleaning equipment that is used on job sites. It is a step up from working for a big brother company but, it still has its downsides. This morning for example, I found myself lubricating industrial C-Clamps so that they slid nicely up and down without much friction. There was a whole wheelbarow full of rusted Clamps, around 80-120 all together. Each clamp takes about five minutes of hammering, spraying, and wrenching to make it workable. It is mind numbing.
Another task i did was clean something called a hot pipe. A hot pipe is a heat resistant pipe about 15' long that molten hot roofing tar passes through. After the job, they bring these clogged pipes back to the yard. So my job is to get a torch and heat up the pipe so that the liquid tar comes out. Cancerous yellow fumes come out of the pipe while you are doing it.
And I dont even have it that bad. Ive worked their about 2 months part time. The full timers, some of who have been working there for years, do these kinds of unskilled tasks day in and day out. I think I now understand SKTFM's fascination with A.I. and robotic technologies.
These jobs shouldnt even exist. The time one has in this mysterious and exciting universe should not be occupied with clamp lubricating and pipe cleaning; unless that is what one wants to do. It should be spent doing ( fill in the blank). We should establish a society that provides individuals with ample oppurtunity to fill in the blank.
Thanks for the post, got me thinking,
John

Good post
I'd recommend promoting this node to the wog page of the book. Very little editing required.
Good one.
