What is the nobody anyway?
I've seen all the threads coming and going, but it's numerous pages of bullcrap keeps me from even bothering to give it a gander.
Is it just some invention of the minds in here, or a real thing?
Quoting: RoseTyler It's like this:
You know the "Hitler Salute"? Well, it's Roman. But more than that, Rome got overrun/raped by Germanic hordes. So runelore and Rome, smelted and merged. We see this truth from WW2 symbology, and marketing.
So, like, if you do the salute to Hitler or whomever, you become "somebody". Does that make sense? I mean to say that if you do the salute (Stalin used a sort of "hello!" salute, but same idea), well then, you become somebody. You are somebody "heiling!". For example of this, just note the fervor in the eyes of people who are filmed "heiling" or saluting.
Well, see, this thing I'm talking about, is key to understanding the nobody meme power. Because, the essential question is "How does one become/remain somebody, as opposed to how one becomes/remains nobody?"
Well, I probably haven't explained it well, but I will respond if you like.
QUESTIONS: Let's say the leader has children. Are they "somebodys"? Or also for example, the stars of TV sitcoms who are children like the actor Gary Coleman. When he was a kid, was he "somebody"? Ok so then however you answer, the next logical question is, can the person in question 1, fail to become "somebody" if they are not that, when a child? And the same question applies to question 2, that is, if Gary Coleman begins to hate the Arnold Drummond TV persona, well, does he then forcibly become nobody?
I think he was a really cool dude, Gary Coleman. At the end he sat and enjoyed trains, he liked to watch them. Who can't relate to that? Trains take you where you want to go, someplace else. But he couldn't take a train to get away from the somebodieness of Arnold Drummond, the loveable, simple sketch of an inner city child.
Well, he's dead now. And you what? I think he became somebody special, once he became a "nobody". Because then he became real, or tried at least. Just a few thoughts on why I have spent time energizing the nobody meme. I like the idea that in the future, everyone sees "heiling" the leader as totally fucking gay. As gay as Mr. Drummond himself.
