However...

With all of that being said, we need to evaluate the legitimacy of the side of things that attributes blame to the populace.

The key to Revelation of the Method is that the victim is really not a victim because he allowed the crime to happen and while it is obvious that many of those who would seek to manipulate such mechanisms may not be as immune to the karma as they think, there is still definitely something to this.

After all, if someone is telling you they’re about to do something and you do nothing to stop them, is the blame not AT LEAST 50% on you?

Arguably it's even more.

If a train is coming down the track and you choose to not get up off your fat ass and move then is that not on you?

This is the attitude of radical responsibility that we have to take.

We can’t be mad at the snake for being a snake. We can’t complain that nature is functioning in the way that it functions – we simply must account for it.

So when things are happening in society that are being perpetrated by a supposed corrupt elite, we have to ask the question: can they do anything that we don’t allow them to and are they not in some sense a very natural response to an issue latent within the people?

Of course, here we are reminded once again of Codreanu’s famous quote:

A country has the Jews it deserves. Just as mosquitoes can thrive and settle only in swamps, likewise the former can only thrive in the swamps of our sins.

It is imperative that we analyze things along these lines because of how important it is in all facets of life that we take responsibility for our own lot.

Nothing can be accomplished without first owning up to our own part in whatever the issue is.

So when the populace deserves something is it not appropriate for certain actions to be perpetrated on them? Would this not be simply the facilitation of the people’s karma?

If the populace is materialistic and does not care about striving for spiritual attainment and have become apathetic in general, then are they not actually inviting corruption with open arms?

Of course it is not really so clear to put it on either the elite or the populace and I assert that once again the wisdom of the Middle Way or secret third thing is applicable because in truth society is a feedback loop and indivisible whole – clearly on the one hand an elite guides and shapes the populace but on the other hand the populace produces an elite.

So there can be no real single answer to who is at fault, the elite or the people, but what is certain is that without first acknowledging that each one of us is at fault we will never make any headway in getting ourselves out of this mess.
