Foreword

     The Fixed Lighters Limited™ is a brotherhood comprised of thinkers who want to revolutionize tomorrow. The ideas expressed on this blog will seem disturbingly divergent from social norms and discourse for the unread eye. The Fixed Lighters hold these core values: expose those accountable for unjust events, verbalize institutional concepts that challenge the foundational basis of any government, and creatively expand into other outlets that interests the Lighters.


    The Lighters will adhere to the basic concept of "the only constant is change", which is why we challenge any conservative or societal beliefs. We welcome any public discussion of opposing (or familiar) opinions and thoughts, whether it be through comments or through an email chain (leading to a potential call or Zoom). We are settled in different parts of the world and we thrive off of debates and disagreements, so please let us know.


    The Fixed Lighters fundamentally consist of Seven Core Members. However, we are open to expansions, including doing a single blog or so. 

-Arnold Carpet: Conservative open-mindedness fuels my blogs.

-Kamana Ming: Creativity and arts fuels mine...

-James Daniel: Irony and satire are a requirement for any blog, right?

-Rosaline Carpet: Literature is my main concern.

-Xavier L'miave: What I write will be a mystery indeed.

-Rami Kaser: Exposing guilty excuses of human beings!

-Kendrick Dean: A critic.

    


    Our blog and thoughts are as pure as can be. We will not be swayed by ads like these and lobbyists are one of our biggest enemies, so your trust should be reassured. 

    To conclude this pilot of a blog, the Fixed Lighters would like to thank you and to ask you to consider turning on your email/message notification list in order to stay up to date with us. If not, feel free to visit this hub whenever you'd like. Your comments will always be read and replied to by the Core Member you desire.

Oh, last thing: the language in these blogs may be explicit. If so, we will place a disclaimer. With all love, we hope to see you again, friend.

Political Polarization

From Arnold Carpet.  I  feel like politics is analogous to someone walking on a rope. Similar to how both sides get polarized and start pushing, the walker will lean one way and too much another and eventually fall. The polarization, by the way, is a mere indication that something isn't right and one side is responding by pushing traditional ways of life and the other is responding with a cry for urgent change. In America, however, there are three major players rather than two: the "crazy" left, the Democrats, and the Republicans.      This week, I listened to Noam Chomsky's podcast on "Free Will" and read a bit of  Brave New World  by Aldous Huxley .  Afterwards, I realized that in modern times, political polarization drives individuals to believe that politics is black and white, rather than a sea of different ideologies. It's almost inevitable with a two party system. Democrats do this and Republicans do this, but in reality, the...

Institutional Complexity

 From Arnold Carpet. Proving something complex right is one of the hardest tasks.     This week, I analyzed the complexity of Oedipus: his virtues, his morals, the way he presents himself, etc. This led me to think about complexity in general and since I have been reading and watching a lot of politics, I will be applying it to politics. Take any heated issue today such as gun rights, taxes, etc. and break it down to its fundamentals. That is something many of us don't do. Yet so many of us feel so strongly about certain topics. We are so sure of our stance, yet we can't really explain what the topic is. Skepticism and humility are crucial in solving the hatred that stems out of politics today. Do real research. Do not simply cherry-pick, but read what doesn't agree with your stance. Then, and only then, can you have a true opinion. Radicalism borne from entertainment is unfortunately widespread.     Take a concept like democratic socialism. In the United S...

The Golden Arches

    Hello, I'm Arnold Carpet. I'm a writer, columnist, and a proclaimed philosopher. Today, I will be examining a Banksy sculpture of Ronald McDonald and relating it to corporatism. I believe we will be seeing each other often.  The persistent march of corporatism has suffocated the people with a creativity-draining occupation while drowning them with a flood of debt, convincing the working class that money and "hard work" are they key to the desired lifestyle.     Satire is defined as "a literary work holding up human vices and follies to ridicule or scorn"   and it fits the Banksy sculpture of Ronald McDonald very well. In a country governed by companies and corporations where lobbyists sway politics, the working class is convinced that the poor are the main enemy; the working class is constantly being told that their hard-earned money is being depleted by social welfare programs. The reality is, politicians and news outlets ...
