[What does Giorgio Agamben mean by the term “homo sacer” (Latin for “sacred man”).

In the camp, the sovereign holds the individual under the law as one to whom the law does not apply.

Why does the sovereign hold but the law not apply?

The subject is deemed a thinkanti-object, who has conscienceanti-object. So “his” very thoughts are crimes.]

[An (infra)sovereign religion cannot look at the character of the person. That would require seeing in terms of thinkdivine, a perspective that puts both sovereign and subject into context.

The (infra)sovereign religion can only look at people in terms of thinkpro-object and (its projection of) thinkanti-object.

The subject is reduced to the one accepting the object that brings the subject into organization.

Conformity to thinkpro-object becomes the common core.]

[Consider the sovereigninfra as a being that reduces the person’s heart in order to impose an organizational good.

What are some of the implications?

Here is one.

This religious being (the sovereigninfra religion) looks down upon the person.

It sees a person (modeled according to the intersecting nested forms) and attempts to directly manipulate features within that model.

The religioninfrasov nudges.

The religioninfrasov pushes.

The religioninfrasov bullies.

The religioninfrasov reduces subjects accused of thinkanti-object to the position of homo sacer (see Giorgio Agamben).]

[In the case of giving up smoking, the overt behavioral change of unforced conversion appears identical to the change induced by forced conversion.

Progressives do not see that there is an immaterial difference.

Why?

They are committed to a materialist ideology.

Big Government Liberalism is the Materialist Ideology that won the Cold Battle Among the Enlightenment Gods (1945-1989), otherwise known as ‘the Cold War’.

Is it no better than the material ideology that lost the war?

Satan casts out Satan.

Yet, “his” house still stands.]
