[The subject, who wants something_2a, accepts dehumanization from the sovereign religion. The subject considers something_2a to be free (without responsibility, especially, without working for it).

Consequently, the subject will arrange “his” circumstances to satisfy the criteria of any welfare agency.]

[Can we imagine what the criteria must be?

Well, for one, the transaction would never occur in the open market, even one livened by the yeast of diverse Christian factions. For Christians, there is no “welfare” or “entitlements”. There is only “charity”.

Christians fail their mission at the moment when charity becomes dehumanizing.]

[Now, here comes a different example.

Let me consider the example of “welfare”, defined as transfer payments from (an imputed bad one) to an imputed good one.

Something_2a is making funds available according to certain criteria for subjects_2a.

Does that sound more humane than forcing subjects to stop smoking cigarettes?

Still, the government agent dehumanizes.

Who is the subject that fits a particular criteria?

A dehumanized person is.]

[The me_1a who is capable of imposing costs and regulations on subjects_2a is also capable of dehumanizing others_3a.

The imposer’s I, seat of choice_3b, situates the normal context of the mirror of the world_3a as ”his” own_3b. The imposer is courtier to the king.

The imposer imagines that “he” both owns and is owned by the mirror of the world.]

[I want to examine the perversity of the imposer

An imposer is a person who joins the sovereign^infra in order to impose ‘the object that brings subjects into organization onto the subjects of the realm’.

What is ‘the something_2a’ that this person chooses?

Let’s say, with the tobacco example, ‘something_2a’ is ‘really expensive cigarettes that are hard to get’. So this person lobbies for increased transaction costs (taxes, restrictions on use, and so on).]

[Who has a label for the heartless imposer?

Slavoj Zizek has a label.

That is what makes Zizek both insightful and entertaining.]

[Who has a label for the imposer?

What label can I apply to I, instrument of the object that brings me into organization with sovereign power_3b.

Since value_1b coheres to desire_1a, there is no internal conflict within this instrument of sovereign power.

The imposer has no heart.]

[Forced conversion is perceived as validation by the imposer.

In that perception, the imposer transitions from self-justification into blasphemy.

The imposer’s I, seat of choice_3b, becomes I, instrument of the object that brings me into organization with sovereign power_3b.]
