Bush — The Great Savior of Today's World!

To understand the title "Bush — The Great Savior of Today's World!" one must first know how a Great Savior is forged:

  1. Every night with lips pouted, drool flowing, sparks flying — after 36,500 days, 72 hours, 83 minutes, 209 seconds, and 3,146 microseconds, one becomes a star: a Savior Star. Repeat the above process 3,825.78 times, and naturally you become a Great Savior Star.

  2. Find two objects somewhere between toilet paper and scratch paper. Using various scripts somewhere between graffiti and scribbling, compose no more than five thousand symbols and place them somewhere between a field and a graveyard. On a dark and stormy night, dig them up with great fanfare as if by accident. Since it's a dark and stormy night, even a firefly's fart becomes a Savior Star — enlarge it a bit and naturally it's a Great Savior Star.

  3. Rally every possible pyramid-scheme recruit, use every possible channel, hawk only the simplest of symbols — a single slogan or a single moan — and then all the moans moan together. This way, any kind of star will do, let alone a Great Savior Star.

  4. With a big stick in one hand and a carrot in the other, wearing something from Brokeback Mountain on your head, give your vocal cords a shake at anything in the whole world that can vibrate — and just like that, you're a Great Savior.

Engels' metaphor — "each person's movement constitutes a vector, and the superposition of all vectors constitutes the resultant vector, whose direction is the direction of human social development" — of course does not require the assumption that every vector is the same. Only a fool would treat this metaphor as a mathematical model. This metaphor simply illustrates a point vividly: there is no predetermined direction for human social development. All directions are the result of combined forces, and any component force that attempts to manipulate or guide the direction of the resultant force is laughable.

The so-called Great Savior is someone who, consciously or unconsciously, attempts to manipulate and guide the direction of the resultant force — just like the games Bush is playing now. Hitler and his ilk wore out this trick long ago. When Nietzsche summoned the Übermensch, he was thinking the same thing. The Übermensch is merely another literary image of the Great Savior — and this naturally includes the various non-human or quasi-human figures manufactured by Hollywood.

"Bush — The Great Savior of Today's World" and "Bush — The Great Fool of Today's World" are actually no different. Anyone who attempts to be a savior or to be saved — regardless of scale — is nothing more than a byproduct of the Great Savior cultivation manual described above. The flutter of a single butterfly can generate worldwide storms and thunder. A dignified human being — does one really need some fabricated Great Savior? Every person is beyond the coverage of heaven and earth; the storms and thunder of the world are right beneath everyone's feet. Self-abasement only serves to empower tedious things like Great Saviors. History is created by every person; history is named by every person. If there truly must be a Great Savior, you are your own Great Savior!
