Why I am on Drugs:

I had just written a long post about Britain and nations in general, but I don't think it made much sense to be honest. Anyway, the essence of it was that nationality is a concept as flimsy as religion - that people are so ethnically diverse in their ancestry as to render the idea of national identity pretty much meaningless. Nations are just convenient devices for the rich and power hungry to further their own interests at the expense of anyone who gets in the way, and generally in opposition to the beliefs of the people who live in them.
I think that nationality is a concept that should be discarded. Patriotism is just a gentler version of fascism; why should one group of human beings be regarded as superior to all others?

I should point out that I'm well aware that, looking at things realistically, people will never be equal unless it is forced on them. And it would take a force so powerful that you could only describe it as God. And that kind of power could only be wielded justly by an entity without the frailties of a human personality.

Essentially my conscience has forced me into a fantasy world. It's a pattern I recognise in all the other aspects of my life, too: the things that I hope for are completely at odds with reality. This is why I have to take drugs.
