Those who have followed me for some time will know that I consider our modern society to be a prison. The modern bureaucratic control system, with its thousands of little tendrils that invade every part of our lives, resembles a prison administration in its feverish attempts to strip us of all dignity and self-determination. What makes it worse than a prison is that while a prison is built to hold the antisocial – those who cannot be made to comply without force – our society is instead constructed to hold the prosocial. As such, it depends primarily on methods of coaxing obedience from the populace, leading to the bizarre situation where people will celebrate their enslavement and actively defend it. The psychology of this behavior has always fascinated me, since it seems very alien to me as an undersocialized autistic weirdo. And while it may be interesting to look more into such questions in future essays, the topic for today will be a bit more particular. As the world we find ourselves in is unfit for men who want to live in freedom and dignity, I would like to look closer on a small but egregious example of our societal slave-lunacy. I am talking about drug testing – the piss kind, not the fun kind.
In dealing with this topic, I will be providing an analysis and a conclusion. The conclusion should be universally acceptable to any dignified man, but the analysis carries with it a Swedish cultural context which may not be clear to all of my readers. It is beyond the scope of this essay to go into detail on Swedish history, but suffice it to say that modern Swedish society was shaped by three popular movements, two of which were the socialistic labor movement and the moralistic sobriety movement. Swedish social democracy, from its inception, incorporates a vicious moralistic contempt for recreational drug use. The chief ideologue of this contempt was the communist Nils Bejerot1, whose ideas and attitudes are still the cornerstone of Swedish drug policy. In short, the social democratic state sees recreational drug use as an existential threat – an ideological disease. The Swedish state has consequently attacked recreational drug use with a religious fervor. Modern Swedish society and its bureaucratic socialism has always hated and fought against the Dionysian, preferring a vision of life dominated by compliant drudgery under the maternalistic oversight of the state. It is therefore not possible to make a separation between drug moralism and Swedish state ideology – they have always been intimately connected.
With the proper context established, we move on to the analysis. In my essay on vicarious cruelty, I discussed how slavish types will fulfill their will to power by vicariously enjoying the cruelty that is visited upon their fellow slaves by their masters. I have also discussed in my latest essay how moralism acts as a convenient justification for cruelty. These two perspectives can be meaningfully combined to understand my inherent revulsion towards institutionalized drug testing. The topic of recreational drug use has been shrouded in moralism for many decades now, and it is one of the weakest and most cowardly brands of moralism. It is weak and cowardly because sobriety is the easiest thing in the world – just don’t get drunk or high. It requires nothing of you, and is therefore no proof of a spotless moral character. The only exception to this is when you are in the throes of addiction, where sobriety can become incredibly difficult. However, the moralist is viciously opposed to admitting the moral character of a man struggling to temper his addictions, preferring instead to sneer at his “lack of willpower”. Yet what measure of will is it to resist a thing which you have no desire for? Drug moralism is the cheapest kind of moralism – and therefore eminently suited to the man of slavish disposition.
Drug moralism provides an otherwise unremarkable man with a socially justifiable way to indulge in self-righteousness. But more than that, it also provides him with a feeling of power when the hated “degenerate” is degraded or violated by the state. We must not underestimate the importance that such a feeling of power has for the common man in our time. Since the regime we live under enforces mandatory demoralization, where a man must crawl before all manner of protected classes in increasingly bizarre humiliation rituals, the frustration and resentment of the masses need to be directed somewhere. This requires the existence of state-sanctioned pariah classes. The regime has established several such classes already – young white men, right-wingers, antivaxxers, etc. And recreational drug users are one such pariah group, at least in Sweden where recreational drug use remains one of the strongest taboos. It has therefore been possible for the bureaucratic control system to violate and humiliate its slave populace in ways that are as perverted as they are systematic. And all they had to do to sell this order of affairs to the masses was to promise them cruelty and a false sense of moral superiority.
Under the pathetic pretense of public morality, it is now common practice in our institutions to ask complete strangers to present their cock and balls for mandatory urination. This is such a sickening imposition on the privacy and dignity of man that it absolutely floors me how this can be accepted without so much as a riot. “But what about the drugs?” What about them? There is no aspect of drug use that is nearly as shameful and unfit for free men as it is to be ordered by some middle-aged HR harridan to go piss in a cup. Do you seriously mean to imply that standing around with your pants around your ankles like a damned idiot and giving tinkle-winkle to Monica in HR somehow makes you more of a man than smoking a blunt does? What man in his right mind sits in slack-jawed submission as a scowling corpo drone shakes his own urine in front of him going “Oh, so we have a little fun-haver here, do we?” like an ammonia-reeking Grinch?
“But how do we stop drug use then?” Why bother? It’s none of your damned business if somehow gets high, and it certainly isn’t the government’s, the police’s, your doctor’s or your employer’s. You’ve been fed the moral equivalent of cockroach slurry to get you hyped up about making your bladder a matter of public inquiry. There is simply no excuse in all the high heavens that can possibly justify telling a man to piss in a cup – least of all recreational drug use! This is simply one of those questions where you’re either a man, and understand this implicitly, or you’re not. There are no two ways about it. We can make the point all day about how certain jobs require sobriety, but it falls flat on its face when you consider that random drug testing is done even in jobs where it does not matter. It’s not just pilots and truck drivers who need to submit to the perverted nonsense of HR busybodies, but office drones too. It serves no purpose other than to humiliate and degrade you.
But as ridiculous as this insanity is in the workplace, it becomes positively hellish when it happens in the course of enforcing the law. I once again reiterate that I am speaking from a Swedish perspective, but here it is routine practice for the police to haul people off the street for the merest suggestion of drug use and have them do wee-wee. And since drug use is such a prioritized crime in Sweden, you have police officers whose entire career is nothing more than being piss collectors for the state. How can it not be seen as unimaginably perverted to have a whole caste dedicated to fondling balls and collecting urine? Do they get paid by the gallon? I can’t even make a joke about this that doesn’t cross the line into the territory of the tasteless, but this is reality. We live like this.
The one case that made me truly realize how this practice is nothing more than institutionally backed fetishistic molestation by sick perverts was a case in Uppsala in 2010. A man suspected of a misdemeanor drug offense2 was taken into police custody and brought to a hospital where the hospital staff forcibly inserted a catheter into him for the extraction of urine. Of note is that the man had agreed to give a blood sample instead, which he is legally allowed to give as a substitute. A man was subjected to an act which would be classified as equivalent to rape by police and hospital staff on the mere suspicion of having used drugs! And despite the perverts having the choice of taking a blood sample, they instead chose to stick a tube into him by force to literally suck the piss out of him. They just couldn’t help themselves, a man’s piss is like gold to them! They go absolutely crazy for it! You cannot tell me this isn’t a form of institutionalized sexual sadism. And while I certainly wouldn’t put this sort of sadistic deviancy past the police, what I find truly chilling is how the hospital staff gleefully participated in this violation. It is nothing short of state-mandated piss fetishism, ubiquitous institutional perversity.
While this particular case may be viewed as an outlier, the fact remains that this kind of institutional perversity does not stop here. In the United States, David Eckert was stopped by police on his way home from the store because he had not stopped at the parking lot stop sign. The sick pervert on duty that day eyed Eckert’s ass like a piece of candy and concluded that he was “clenching” and therefore must be hiding drugs in there. The officer then proceeded to take Eckert to a hospital where he was subjected to 14 hours of repeated anal cavity searches by doctors and police. Doctors stuck their fingers into him, gave him multiple forced enemas and forced him to shit multiple times in front of them – and this despite not finding any narcotics. This is a blatant case of sadistic perverts in law enforcement and the medical profession working together to get off in the sickest and most egregiously debauched fashion possible. And while this technically wasn’t a urine test, we are nonetheless put before the fact that drug moralism is used by psychopathic sexual sadists as an excuse to violate the supposed “free citizenry” of our prison hell-states.
What I mean to show by this is the fundamental danger of moralism. The moment you allow your dignity to be bought by empty moralistic platitudes, you free the way for all manner of psychopaths and perverts to manipulate you into bowing before the most deranged forms of tyranny. The moment your morality becomes a question of nosiness, punishment and a false sense of superiority, you give your tacit approval for the same kind of scolding busybodies as yourself to humiliate and degrade you and those around you. And do not for a second fall into the all-too common right wing fetishization of authority. Many people in authority wield their power specifically for the purpose of getting off in the most disgusting and vile ways possible. The Epstein case made that abundantly clear, as have the examples of police officers and doctors that I’ve given in this essay.
Do you think an Alexander or a Caesar would have subjected themselves to this treatment? Do you think they would have subjected their slaves to it? I write this in an accusatory tone because my readers are right-wing men, and some of you may have been seduced by the cheap sense of moral superiority that drug moralism offers. No matter how much you may deride the drug user as a degenerate, it pales in comparison to the degeneracy of submitting yourself to state-enforced piss-play. You are not a pillar of society combating the menace of drugs, you are a caponized thrall willingly participating in ritualized humiliation. Understand that sick perverts are buying your tacit approval to acts that a medieval serf would have considered far beneath his dignity. Does it make you feel like a man when the state can force you to participate in medically administered sodomy? Do you think this is a moral order fit for free and dignified men?
Like I said earlier, there are no two ways about this. And that is the conclusion I wish to reach. Though there are many perfectly good reasons to abstain from intoxicants, that is no excuse to submit yourself and other free men to this kind of abject slavery. Any state that takes for itself the right to inspect the bladders or asses of its citizenry for the made-up offense of getting plastered is tyrannical in the extreme. Worse, the quiet acceptance of such a state of affairs emboldens the most debauched perverts, who help maintain this form of routine degradation. The only purpose it serves is to humiliate you, to train you like a dog into accepting that you have no dignity, no privacy and no agency. Reject the psychotic worldview of perverts whose only concern is to reduce you to the status of piss cattle for the maternalistic state.
1. Nils Bejerot was also an early critique of comic books during his years as an active communist in the 50’s. His chief critique was that comic books were violent, racist and showed a stereotypical image of women. He especially hated Superman for its portrayal of an Übermensch ideal. This information is provided to give you a sense of the general world-feeling of the time, and of Bejerot’s personal character.
2. Ringa narkotikabrott, which commonly results in a fine of up to a couple of hundred dollars. While prison for up to six months is listed as a possible punishment, in practice, no one is sentenced to prison for an offense of this degree. For comparison, the limit for different substances where the crime can no longer be considered a misdemeanor is drawn at 50 grams of cannabis, 5 grams of amphetamine and less than one gram of cocaine.
Uncle Sam’s thirst for piss is unquenchable.
