Sanshi - I agree with you 100% on all you have said - but the guy IS an idiot. By my reckoning, and from what you say too, people who feel they aren't worth it or good enough - as I know from my teenage and 20s experiences - attract this sort of character who then feeds into those feelings and perpetuates them - it certainly happened to me. Your last sentence of your reply hits the nail on the head I think.
I would distinguish between the state and the person. His behavior is that of an idiot, sure. But that has nothing to do with him, but what is projected onto him. It doesn't really have relevance that he behaves like an idiot, because there is nothing to change here. It's like complaining about a dirty shirt. Yes, it is dirty, but complaining about the shirt won't change anything regardless of how many people you tell about it and how much you agree with them that it's worth judging that it's dirty. Point is that there is only one power and the moment you give the slightest of that power away, you make yourself a victim and that's what 99,9 % of the people do and why they fail. Every single time we feel bad about something, we give power away.
"Self-abandonment. That is the secret. We have to abandon ourselves to the state, in our love for the state, and in so doing live the life of the state and no more our present state. And to make the state alive, one must become it."
