[What happens to the tobacco smoker?
The mirror of the world (including the progressive regulatory zeitgeist)3a no longer allows value1b to coincide with desire1a.
The following diagram shows the interscope restricted to sensible construction (a two-level interscope.
The next diagram shows the intersection, occurring under the influence of the thinkpro-object of citizen health.]

[The previous blog is speculation that must be dismissed out of hand.
Why?
Anyone proposing such an idea is for smoking and therefore promotes anti-healthy lifestyles.
Anyone proposing such an idea is thinkanti-object.
Thinkanti-object forces participants into the mode of sensible construction, so the overlying social construction is assumed and remains unquestioned.
Citizen health takes priority over psychological speculation.]

[Modern society is full of negative moments. People compete for the stupid advantages. People position themselves against others. There is plenty of fodder for fulmination. Then negative thoughts spawn other negative thoughts.
Many people are prone to repetitious negative thoughts.
The ritual of smoking a cigarette would break the cycle.
Individuals became addicted, not to the nicotine, but to release from patterns of repetitious negative thoughts.
Smoking is cathartic.]

[Smoking a tobacco cigarette is a personal ritual that some people find comfort in.
The ritual is not “religious” to the extent that it lacks presence (relation to the sovereign) and carries no message.
Smoking has one notable effect. It stops cycles of negative thoughts.
This relaxing ritual breaks negative-thought obsession.]

[Smoking tobacco cigarettes invites health problems.
No one should smoke tobacco cigarettes.
So why would anyone desire to smoke?
The element of desire is not so obvious and is nonsensical.]

[So what happens when, in the Modern opposition, “freedom” is defined as lack of responsibility?
Do less responsibilities mean more freedom?]

[All systems can be scammed.
All sovereigns are prey for competing infrasovereign religions.
All sovereigns strive to contextualize themselves.
They do so through forced conversion of the ruled populations.
Big Government Liberalism is a state religion composed of an alliance of infrasovereign religions.]

[Universal democracy leads to tyranny.
The Progressives, correspondingly, want universal democracy.]

[The Cult of American Progressivism spews a deluge of words in order to maintain bondage to our particular victimhoods.
Pneumo-pathological mechanisms establish of a sovereign religion.
Those grasping for power have objects that bring subjects into organization.
Thinkpro-object enslaves the subjects who, like all those who went to Jesus and heard only parables, simply do not know any better.]
