moving the swamps

Nietzsche was right in that so much of the mass indoctrination into modes of morality is about moving the swamps. In making this judgement, Nietzsche was drawing on his understanding of mass psychology -- that the masses regularly feel a need to release the tensions that come from being squeezed together into a massive conglomeration of human feelings, needs and desires. When the tension starts to build because of the pressures exerted on individual minds in relation to the cause of becoming massively ONE (one state, one national identity, one fuhrer), the reality principle starts to demand its recompense, that is, in blaming others. "Since I have had to sacrifice so much, in order to become one in mind and heart and soul with my community, others who seem different from me and who may not have suffered as I have, will now also have to suffer."

Thus the nature of so much of mass morality is reward oneself for all of the efforts of delayed gratification by going on a psychologically bloodthirsty rampage in order to impugn others -- those whom, presumably, have not conformed to the programme quite as well as Thou has.

There are people whose whole moral-psychological structure is based upon redeeming/rescuing the Brown People, but should I make a similar appeal to them, that I am just as good as many of these Brown People (TM) that they would like to rescue, they virtually lose their minds. After all, by impugning me, they manage to move the swamp in my direction.  This doesn't do much to change reality, but helps the moralists release their pent up tension for a while.
