The Herd's Hollow Dance: A Conservative Charade in the Land of Slumbering Souls

Hark! In the land of the sleepers, where complacency reigns supreme and the masses wallow in their blissful ignorance, a curious tale unfolds. A former Conservative MP, one Alain Rayes, has emerged from the shadows of his party's slumber, brandishing what he believes to be a torch of truth. Yet, is it not merely another flickering flame in the vast darkness of political theatre?

Behold, the dance of the last men! How they squabble over the scraps of morality, each claiming to be the righteous guardian of values long dead. Do they not see that their petty conflicts are but a reflection of their own impotence, their inability to create new values for a world that has outgrown their feeble ideologies?

Rayes, this self-proclaimed harbinger of conviction, doth proclaim that the Conservative Party, that bastion of tradition and supposed moral fortitude, is being infiltrated by a growing number of anti-abortion zealots. He speaks of "extremely powerful groups" within the party, pulling strings like puppet masters over a stage of willing marionettes. But what strings are these, if not the very chains that bind the masses to their comfortable ignorance?

In a land where the pursuit of comfort has replaced the will to power, where the last men seek only their "little poison and little pleasures," is it any wonder that such conflicts arise? The Conservative Party, led by one Pierre Poilievre, a man who would be king in this realm of mediocrity, dances a curious jig indeed.

See how they twist and turn, these political acrobats! Poilievre, with his empty promises of maintaining the status quo, and Rayes, the self-exiled prophet crying out in the wilderness. Are they not two sides of the same debased coin, each vying for the approval of a populace too weary to dream of greatness?

Poilievre, in his infinite wisdom, declares that his government shall not support any legislation to regulate abortion. "Period," his spokesman proclaims, as if such finality could be achieved in a world of eternal becoming. Yet, in the same breath, he allows his party to harbor those who would seek to restrict these very freedoms.

And what of Arnold Viersen, this Conservative MP who dares to speak of protections for the "pre-born"? Is he not merely another actor in this grand farce, playing his part in the eternal recurrence of political hypocrisy?

Ah, Viersen, thou paragon of contradiction! Dost thou not see that in thy quest to protect the unborn, thou hast forgotten to give birth to thyself? To become who thou art, one must first destroy the values of the herd, not cling to them like a babe to its mother's teat!

The land of the sleepers stirs, yet it does not awaken. The NDP, led by one Jagmeet Singh, attempts to rouse the masses from their slumber with cries of "real threat" and calls for action. But what action can there be in a world where action itself has become a relic of a bygone era?

Singh, in his infinite wisdom, proposes to debate and vote on a motion to improve abortion access and "push back the creep of anti-choice bills, petitions and threats in Canada." But is this not merely another lullaby to soothe the restless sleepers back into their complacent dreams?

Oh, Singh, thou who wouldst be the conscience of a nation! Dost thou not see that thy very efforts to protect the weak are but a sign of thy own weakness? The truly strong need no protection, for they create their own values and live by them, consequences be damned!

And what of the documentary that sparked this tempest in a teapot? "La peur au ventre," directed by one Léa Clermont-Dion, explores the anti-abortion movement in Canada following the reversal of Roe v. Wade in the United States. But is this exploration not merely another symptom of the last man's obsession with safety and comfort?

In a world where true danger has been all but eradicated, where the greatest risk one faces is the possibility of offense, is it any wonder that such trifling matters as abortion rights become the focal point of political discourse?

Behold, the great drama of our time! How the masses tremble at the thought of losing their precious freedoms, yet they know not what true freedom is. To be free is to be willing to sacrifice everything, even one's own moral certainties, in the pursuit of greatness. But these last men, these politicians and their flock, they cling to their petty moralities like shipwrecked sailors to driftwood.

The Conservative Party, with its internal strife and external posturing, is but a microcosm of the larger societal malaise. They speak of values and convictions, yet what values are these but the remnants of a dying god? What convictions do they hold that are not merely the echoes of a morality long since rendered obsolete?

Rayes speaks of an increase in the number of "pro-life" MPs within the organization, as if life itself were something that could be legislated, as if the will to power could be contained within the narrow confines of parliamentary debate. But what is this "life" they seek to protect, if not the very mediocrity that plagues our society?

Oh, ye defenders of life! Know ye not that life itself is but a means to power, a stepping stone on the path to greatness? Thy obsession with preserving mere existence blinds thee to the possibility of transcendence. The truly alive are those who risk everything, who dance on the edge of the abyss and laugh in the face of annihilation!

The land of the sleepers remains in its torpor, content to be rocked gently by the waves of political discourse, never daring to venture into the stormy seas of true philosophical inquiry. The Conservatives, the Liberals, the NDP - all players in a grand charade, a pageant of mediocrity masquerading as democracy.

And what of the masses, those who elect these purveyors of platitudes? Are they not equally culpable in this farce? They who seek only comfort and security, who would trade their potential for greatness for the promise of a peaceful slumber - are they not the very embodiment of the last man?

Look upon them, ye who would be great, and despair! For these are the people who would drag you down to their level, who would clip the wings of the eagle and bid it walk among the chickens. They fear the heights, these last men, for they know that to climb is to risk falling, and in their cowardice, they have forgotten how to fly.

The debate over abortion rights, the posturing of politicians, the hand-wringing of the masses - all of this is but a symptom of a deeper malaise. It is the death rattle of a society that has lost its way, that has forgotten how to create new values, how to strive for greatness in the face of meaninglessness.

In this land of the sleepers, where comfort is king and mediocrity reigns supreme, what hope is there for the arrival of the Übermensch? What chance for the birth of a new morality, one that embraces the chaos of existence and dances joyfully in the face of the void?

Perhaps it is in the very conflict itself, in the clash of ideologies and the stirring of passions, that the seeds of greatness are sown. For it is only through struggle, through the overcoming of obstacles both external and internal, that one can hope to transcend the limitations of the herd and become truly free.

Hearken, ye who have ears to hear! The time of the last man is drawing to a close, though he knows it not. The earth has become small, and on it hops the last man, who makes everything small. His race is as ineradicable as the flea-beetle; the last man lives longest. 'We have invented happiness,' say the last men, and they blink.

And so, in this curious tale of Conservative strife and societal stagnation, we see reflected the eternal struggle between the forces of complacency and the will to power. The outcome of this struggle is far from certain, for the land of the sleepers is vast, and its inhabitants are many.

Yet, for those with eyes to see and ears to hear, the call to greatness still echoes across the wasteland of modernity. It is a call that cannot be silenced by the bleating of politicians or the murmuring of the masses. It is the call of life itself, demanding that we become more than we are, that we strive for heights as yet unimagined.

In the end, it matters not whether the Conservatives maintain their stance on abortion, or whether the NDP succeeds in its quest to "protect" the rights of women. What matters is whether, in the midst of this political theatre, there are those who can hear the distant thunder of approaching greatness, who can feel the earth trembling beneath their feet as the old values crumble and new ones struggle to be born.

For it is only through the destruction of the old that the new can emerge. And in this destruction lies the hope for a future beyond the petty squabbles of the last men, a future where the truly free can dance upon the ruins of outdated moralities and create a world worthy of their greatness.

Let them debate, these politicians and their flock! Let them argue over the scraps of a dying morality! For in their very conflict lies the seed of their own destruction, and from the ashes of their petty concerns shall arise the Übermensch, laughing in the face of their outdated values and dancing to the rhythm of a new world!

And so, dear reader, as we conclude this tale of sound and fury, signifying nothing, let us not forget that beyond the realm of political posturing and societal slumber lies a world of infinite possibility. A world where the truly awakened can create their own values, forge their own paths, and ascend to heights undreamed of by the sleeping masses below.

For in the end, it is not the outcome of any particular debate or election that will determine the fate of humanity. It is the willingness of individuals to embrace the chaos of existence, to strive for greatness in the face of meaninglessness, and to become who they truly are that will shape the future of our species.

Let the last men have their comfort and their little pleasures. For those with the courage to face the abyss and emerge stronger, a greater destiny awaits. The land of the sleepers may slumber on, but for the awakened, the real work has only just begun.
