Public Furniture

What’s going on here with these public obstructions, one’s a rock blocking homeless people from laying down in a shelter the other is a park bench with bars to so the same. In America, probably.

One one hand, government is paying itself to service you with public furniture and you should be thankful even though you’re the one paying for this hospitality against your own will.

Under the pretense of furniture/decoration, the government is controlling where and how people get to stand or sit. This is similar to how a cattle stop or anti-roosting spikes are used on animals.

Then, sprinkled on top, government signals with a rainbow just how friendly and inclusive and politically correct they are. This is like Hannibal Lecter, the psycho killer with excellent diction and manners and dress sense. It blends in like a mimic, wolf in sheep’s clothing, saying for publicity purposes what the Muggles want to hear but carrying on with farming them without ever pausing.

It’s disquieting but only to some because we can see behind the Wizard of OZ’s curtain here a bit. There are claws inside the velvet gloves. Mr Dracula seems a gentleman but his incisors make me uneasy, they’re a little bit sharp. We see the calculatedly-coloured facade but are perceptive enough to also realise what is being DONE apart from what is SAID. And if you could do that you might recognise a Diversity Barrier when you see one or, worse, you might recognise what the government really is.

It would be an existential crisis for most anyone to process what the government really is. That brings their life crashing down. Friendships, marriages, families, careers, safety, security, ability to navigate in an interconnected world, all get blown to bits. The government doesn’t need to do too much to get you to suspend your disbelief in them because they rightly estimate that you don’t take much convincing. People are quite ready to protect their identity by bending their own cognition in all sorts of contortions. It’s far easier to change inconvenient beliefs than to accept inconvenient facts, especially in the short run.

In the above pictures the government really isn’t meeting people half way at all, they’re leaving a great deal of their disguise up to the viewer. In the past a guy in a monkey suit could play King Kong but these days the public expect excellent CGI and would not suspend their disbelief enough for there to be less. Yet in the above pictures the government is hardly hiding their true nature at all and their thin effort is so contrived that it would be less suspicious if they didn’t paint things rainbow at all.

A policeman who shows up to boss you around needs to put in a bit of effort. The police car, the police uniform, the professional lingo, the over-equipt utility belt, the police radio, the badge,…they meet your Suspension of Disbelief half way at least. A dude who shows up in bare feet and a dressing gown wanting to ‘take you in for questioning’ saying “I’m a police” puts all the imaginative work onto the shoulders of the public. That’s like Ralph from The Simpsons saying “I’m a Unicorn” backed up only by having an ice cream cone on his head that looks a small percentage like a horn.

People are conditioned to go along with things, they’ll believe in policemen and unicorns and government very readily. However, there does need to be a minimum of collaborative effort on the part of the Masters. For example, the Prime Minister puts lots of effort into charming and glammering so that the people she farms wont recognise what’s she’s really playing at. Bad performances like Ralph’s or this rainbow furniture expose all performance as performance. If people are not supplied with plausible lies to aid their self-deception that would lead to Anarchy.
