we feed them to kill them, do you know the story of the turkey who became friend with it's butcher... every day the butcher came and feed the turkey... until one day, it was thank giving.

when the time comes it will hurt us more than it hurts them, this is why it gets left until the last minute when theres no other choice, empathy and remorse are things the lower grade races don't possess as much of

Who constitutes this us (saddampbuh)? Who constitutes this them (saddampbuh)‽ As of yet, you have not demonstrated the reality (i.e., the non-hyperreal-ness) of your us and your them.

Baudrillard presents hyperreality as the terminal stage of simulation, where a sign or image has no relation to any reality whatsoever, but is its own pure simulacrum (Baudrillard 1994, 6). The real, he says, has become an operational effect of symbolic processes, just as images are technologically generated and coded before we actually perceive them. This means technological mediation has usurped the productive role of the Kantian subject, the locus of an original synthesis of concepts and intuitions, as well as the Marxian worker, the producer of capital though labor, and the Freudian unconscious, the mechanism of repression and desire. From now on, says Baudrillard, signs are exchanged against each other rather than against the real (Baudrillard 1993, 7), so production now means signs producing other signs. The system of symbolic exchange is therefore no longer real but hyperreal. Where the real is that of which it is possible to provide an equivalent reproduction, the hyperreal, says Baudrillard, is that which is always already reproduced (Baudrillard 1993, 73). The hyperreal is a system of simulation simulating itself.

The truth is that the State is a conspiracy designed not only to exploit, but above all to corrupt its citizens Henceforth, I shall never serve any government anywhere.

Tribe is hyperreal and begets possession. Possession is real and begets money. Money is hyperreal and begets state. State is real and begets hyperreality.
