By what means do we seek to justify our various appropriations? Need, desire, greed, want? Is genuine need sufficient justification for theft? By what means do we come to believe in the consensus of a notional 'moral majority' - that we willingly accept the yoke of conformity (and condemn those who choose not to); that our innate rebelliousness is quelled, quashed and palliated, that we accept ourselves as failing aspirants to an illusory 'normality' which has no evidence of its own existence? By what means do we allow ourselves to be branded, labelled and villified - how does fear of that which is not ourselves come to be the instrument of our own governance? How are we blinded to the manner of our own subjection?
