◊ In the Echelon, it is a family of intelligent people who are respectful of lyrics, and find that it’s poetry which can be appreciated in such a way so as to support you through difficult experiences. It’s in surprising ways, even when it doesn’t literally describe your circumstance, because it’s an overview on psychological states.
◊ But it’s awkward when there are also robots and fake accounts created by AI who are going around posing as human, acting as if they hear The Kill (for example) like it’s supposed to be permission to believe in hate, and to project hate onto Jared — then they try to create that influence in the community
◊ 'The Kill' lyrics : "Come, break me down, bury me, bury me - I am finished with you. Look in my eyes - you're killing me, killing me - all I wanted was you"
◊ They act as though when they listen to The Kill it’s like Jared was trying to get them into hate and projection, probably against him, then think that’s what he feels towards them — and we should all learn from that. And this is psychological manipulation — real people don’t make those dead assumptions.
◊ The illusion that these robots are real people might make us Echelon feel as though we’re in a higher form of thought but actually it’s normal, not higher, to understand that this kind of poetry is reflective and not designed for harm.
◊ The same thing happens in all band communities. And I was so adapted to ignoring that type of negativity as part of the coMMunity of Marilyn Manson because his music is so dark, it gets so instantly spotted as toxic — then I easily drop it like a hot potato — like it’s not even there. But in the Echelon, it’s strangely bizarre when everyone’s normally positive but in a negative way when it’s fake.
◊ I’m especially disturbed by it when people do negative evil manipulation under the guise of positivity and spirituality deliberately in order to weaponize those beautiful things in life. Only when it’s totally deliberate as a weapon, though.
