So I am now reading up some more on Albert Pike. I also now remember hearing about him in reference to the KKK. So I guess I knew of him in terms of Freemasonry, and the KKK.

I don't spend a lot of time thinking about the KKK. I don't view people by race. While I know there are people that do, I believe they are currently much smaller and number than people would think. Though the media is intentionally fanning the flames of racism and trying to expand racism of all kinds as far as I can tell, so I do think racism is growing. Yet it is not against only one particular color. It is against white people, black people, hispanic people, jewish(not necessarily a race... the race would be Hebrew if I was speaking race) people, etc.

Yet my current readings on Albert Pike did lead me to some interesting things.

Palladism was one of those and I thought it interesting that Pythagoras was alleged to have brought that out of Egypt. I thought that interesting as another thing Pythagoras did is form one of the earliest known Communist city states. It didn't survive long after his death. I see Social Marxism, Neo-Marxism, etc as a big part of the problems with the world at the moment and find it interesting how it keeps finding tendrils back to things that fuel the concept of Communism.

Which isn't surprising considering Communism is greatly about slaying individuality and viewing everything as a monolithic group. The great equalizer though equality of outcome is impossible and anti-reality. The ultimate monopoly. The ultimate in involuntarism.... i.e. evil. Evil that is embraced as people are yanked around by their emotions and made to think it is compassionate when it is the opposite of that.

I'll continue reading on Pike. Yet that thought is what it inspired so far.
