VINDONIANS AND WORK
The fundamental teachings of the True Druidism of the Vindonians are that Natural Reality is the Real Truth, the Whole Truth and nothing but the Truth, and that Natural Necessity is the Only True Law.
It follows from these teachings that whatever denies, defies and usurps Natural Reality, and whatever disregards, opposes and subverts Natural Necessity, is essentially false and fundamentally criminal. And the very manifestation of this essential falsehood and fundamental criminality is clearly the antinatural construct called civilization.
These fundamental teachings and their corollaries inform the attitudes and beliefs of the Vindonians with respect to work.
Bondage in all its forms, including serfdom and slavery, has always been an important instrument of civilization’s demonic dominion over human beings. Vindonians clearly understand that employment is really just a kinder, gentler form of bondage, and that submitting to a job is essentially no different than surrendering one’s ability to live a truly free and natural life.
The fact that the term “employed” is literally an exact equivalent of the term “used” is certainly not without significance.
All Vindonians work regularly but none of them ever have jobs. In fact, there is no such thing as a job in Vindonia, nor is there any such thing as employment in Vindonia.
No one in Vindonia is ever compelled to earn money through employment because there is no such thing as money in Vindonia. And no Vindonian is ever deprived of the necessities of life because of not having a job.
The work that Vindonians engage in always has to do only with real natural needs, concerns and interests; it never has anything at all to do with the antinatural needs, concerns and interests of civilization (e.g. being forced to participate in a money economy).
The Vindonians recognize that almost all jobs regularly performed in civilization are of no real natural necessity whatsoever. As far as Natural Reality is concerned, all specifically civilized jobs serve no true purpose at all but serve only the false purposes of the antinatural monstrosity that is civilization.
Vindonians have no need to be productive members of an antinatural civilized society, nor do they have any need whatsoever to contribute in any way to an antinatural civilized economy.
Vindonians have no need to work on the elaborate projects and grandiose monuments that satisfy the warped psyches of megalomaniacal élites (e.g. pyramids, palaces, churches, universities, skyscrapers, shopping malls, sports facilities, cultural venues).
Vindonians only work for themselves, for their families and for their friends, and they only work with their families and friends. The people that Vindonians work with are the people that they know and live with (and vice versa).
Vindonians never work for businesses, companies, corporations or institutions; they only work for their own communities. And no one in Vindonia is ever required or compelled to work for strangers, foreigners or enemies, or to work with strangers, foreigners or enemies.
Vindonians work only if naturally necessary, when naturally necessary and only as much as naturally necessary. Vindonians recognize that being forced to work above, beyond or outside the limits of natural necessity is truly nothing short of evil.
In Vindonia, enough is always enough and more than enough is always too much. No Vindonian is ever forced by some neurotic managerial maniac to perform more work than naturally necessary.
The civilized ideal of maximum productivity is clearly one of the most destructive civilized ideals, not only in terms of material things but also psychologically and socially. It is truly a wonder that most people completely fail to see this, but civilization has many ways of making people blind to obvious realities, including incentives, rewards and propaganda.
No one in Vindonia is ever obligated to perform any kind of work that they don’t really need to do. Nor is anyone in Vindonia ever required to do work that properly belongs to someone else (e.g. cleaning someone else’s living space or workspace). (Of course, those who are incapable of properly taking care of themselves, such as babies and small children, the elderly and disabled people, can’t be expected to do their own work.)
No one in Vindonia is ever obligated to work on certain days, to start work at a certain time, to continue working for a certain amount of time, or to take breaks only at certain times.
Vindonians never start work before sunrise nor do they ever keep working after sunset. Vindonians believe that the night is for sleep, not for waking activities and certainly not for working. Of course, Vindonians may occasionally work at night when it is truly necessary, such as in cases of emergency.
Vindonians never need to worry about getting jobs. They are never made to feel unnatural anxiety, frustration or shame because of not having submitted to any kind of unnatural servitude. Nor do Vindonians ever need to worry about keeping jobs. Nothing in Vindonia ever compels people to keep subjecting themselves unnaturally to things that they hate.
Vindonians never need to worry about gaining unnatural qualifications or experience for jobs, or the unnatural logistics of having jobs (e.g. transportation), or their lives being unnaturally dominated by their jobs.
Vindonians never need to worry about being manipulated or mistreated by their bosses or managers, or being subjected to intolerable working conditions, or being expected to deal regularly with unnaturally excessive workloads.
Vindonians never need to depend on any kind of intoxication, recreation or entertainment to help them deal with the wicked realities of being employed. Nor do the Vindonians ever need to seek some form of (ahem) “treatment” (counselling, therapy) for the desperation, dysfunctions and disorders that often result from being employed.
Vindonian women are never obligated to put motherhood as a secondary priority after their jobs. And Vindonian women never need to complain that being a mother is not valued as a form of paid employment.
In fact, motherhood is the most respected and honored kind of lifework among Vindonians. No Vindonian woman would ever think about having a job or a career besides being a mother or instead of being a mother.
Vindonians aren’t programmed from their earliest childhood to believe that having a job is one of the most important things in life. Nor are they programmed from their earliest childhood to believe that civilized success is the ultimate ideal.
Vindonians see well enough that being a good employee can sometimes result in benefits and rewards, and that it may even lead to success. But all these benefits and rewards, and all this success, are wrongful civilized things that the Vindonians couldn’t care less about. Moreover, these things effectively serve to ensure that the good employee remains a good compliant victim and a good obedient slave of civilization.
Vindonians are simply unable to believe that being subjugated, controlled and dominated in any way by anyone or anything can be a means of experiencing truly natural happiness.
The Vindonians clearly understand that everything that belongs particularly to civilization is inherently and fundamentally antinatural, and that everything that is antinatural is inherently and fundamentally wrong. This includes employment.
As far as the Vindonians are concerned, civilization can keep its jobs, its employment, its bondage. The Vindonians are free to live truly natural, truly real and truly righteous lives, and they have absolutely no intention of giving this up.
