In light of the unexpected early contributions to this new sub (Thank you!), I just want to clarify what I'm about and what I intend to do with this sub.

I made this sub to embrace my monstrosity -- that is, the disgust, fear and revulsion provoked in others when I reveal too much of my mind to them.

I think many others on Poal share this condition. And I thought with a place to discuss it we might be able to better know our true nature and embrace it with some dignity.

It's very hard to come up with content quickly, because I am grappling with these ideas and haven't mastered them yet. Every once in a while I reach a point where I can put into words an idea that makes sense. But since these ideas are "made to order", it's more than just a question of how much time I have for typing.

I appreciate your patience with this and really appreciate those of you who have jumped on this idea and started to produce your own content for this sub.

Now I'd like to respond to some of the initial reactions to being called monsters that I've noticed from you:

  • Yes we are monsters, and therefore I will be edgy and act like a supervillain.

This makes sense because the post I kicked off this sub with was kind of edgy. That got attention and was fun. And some of you are following in suit with edgy memes and sentiments. I'm glad people are having fun with this.

That said, this is more than just hehehe I am le bad. I would urge you also to consider the angle that, while we are human, somehow we have become separated from humanity. And it appears that this is more than just difficulty seeing eye-to-eye with others on ideology. Lots of people have bad or stupid ideas they can't help spouting in public. These are greeted with scorn, but a different kind -- that's stupid lad, grow up, etc -- whereas we are told we shouldn't be able to speak, we're . In some cases, we've lost friends as a result of being found out as monsters. How did this happen?

  • Yes we are monsters, but monsters are good

Maybe. I think it's an interesting idea. Especially because it seems like those of you who are saying it don't seem to think that non-monsters are bad, particularly. It seems like the sentiment is that non-monsters are like sheep, whereas monsters are the dutifully protective herd dogs -- we are interested in the good of the flock, and yet the flock perceives us as enemies because we have wits and teeth and often bark at them.

The only problem with this is how ineffective we appear to be at the moment. Monsters like us appear to me to be powerless -- at least powerless in the domain of our monsterdom (I'm sure many of you are successful and useful in other areas of life). On a whim we can be de-platformed or de-careered for daring to bark too loud, or too publicly. Maybe this sheep's world is run by wolves, who are the natural enemy of herd dogs.

  • Monstrosity is the result of honesty; Monsterhood is really a consequence of acknowledging the natural order of things

I think so. Then maybe it has a connection to Truth? But we have to remember that is subjective. Non-monsters think their understanding is the truth. Is it worthwhile to consider the possibility that they are right and we are wrong?

Thanks again for participating. I've enjoyed your thoughts and memes.

I think that in the end, that what would label us monsters in todays society, would quite possibly be labeled as normal years and years ago. I can already tell you that all of us have a number of things in common... we were born in the wrong time period. We monsters are undoubtably men of principle. We operate on a completely different wave pattern than most people. We refuse to bow to the widely accepted norms. We refuse to embrace this manner of "reality" that has been crammed into every orifice. Many of our monsterous qualities could also be the result of years of programming and condition, and now that we have shaken the branches of liberty, that has inadvertenly crashed open the cage-pandoras box has been opened, and most people don't like whats in it, and that is us. I do think that it takes a certain brand of men to keep the invalids and degenerates in check. By doing so, do we reclaim some of our lost humanity or do we find out what it truly means to be human? Perhaps its the grey matter that makes us normal and the only rigid of humans, make up the true collective. Perhaps it all just boils down to intent. To know thyself is a true mark of knowledge, and I sometimes feel pity for those who refuse to take the time necessary, to ask themselves the tough questions, and come to terms with who and what they really are.

Im sure that this sub will help many find themselves in a way not previously thought of or discussed.

One thing is certain though. right is right, and wrong is wrong. We didnt change. The world did, and I think that the creator always holds his best men in reserve, rotating them throughout time and space, for the toughest and nastiest battles, when all other manner of men piss themselves.
