Textilist manifesto

Textilist Platform | 18.08.2011 08:46 | Culture | Education | Repression | World

The nudity is the natural state of humans and is not a behavior or action. Dressing up is an action or behavior. Many people called "nudism" the maintenance of natural nudity. They say it is the action after they undress. We want to clarify the handling of textilists arguments with satire. We would like to get it.

TEXTILIST PLATFORM

Textilist manifesto to expel those who refuse to practice textilism on the beach:

We want to educate our children so that the shame they need to feel prevents them from quitting the practice of textilism in public. It is for this principle reason that we want to introduce a sense of shame in them in a constant, methodical and organized way. Generally, everyone helps with this task by using verbal messages, glances, derogatory comments, and rewards and punishments, among other methods which are applied constantly and almost unconsciously by everyone. Thus, we ultimately achieve it being completely unthinkable for them to get rid of their swimsuit and it being considered brute or uncultured to not hide certain parts of their anatomy as we want them to, particularly the genitals.

Despite what we have said, we want it to be believed as the truth that shame is a feeling which is acquired naturally - although a constant, repressive force may need to be applied prior to acquiring it. We feel this shame and, in addition, we want to believe that we feel it naturally and spontaneously. This acceptance, which we want to be unanimous, serves as an indisputable new point
of departure. Everyone should feel shame in the same way we do. From this point of view, it can make it difficult for us to understand that there are people who can and want to dispense with it in public.

For us, practicing textilism is basically a natural behavior and therefore we do not treat it as if it were a behavior. That is how it is possible to treat the act of not practicing it as a behavior or action. This supposed action or
behavior is called "nudism". We make use of the fact that there are many people who are also convinced that when one remains naked or reverts to being naked, in reality one performs an act or demonstrates a behavior. It has been achieved
that the act of not practicing textilism is called "practicing nudism." Now that there is the widespread conviction than anyone who stops practicing textilism actually takes a different action called "practicing nudism," it is no longer a problem to discuss whether or not they may carry out such "behavior," and to regulate it.

In our culture there is an ancient tradition to reject, conceal, subdue, persecute, insult, punish, discriminate against, keep in ghettos, expel or practice all manner of abuses against certain groups of people. Some of these are ethnic groups such as Gypsies and Jews, as well as blacks, women, gays and lesbians, and people subjected to slavery. Overall, the way to act against a particular group is to distinguish it from the others and then to characterize some of its features as negative or even dangerous. Based on this tradition and without a desire to cause greater damage, we want people who wish to remain
naked on the beach not to be able to share the beaches on equal terms with us or with anyone who may not have the ability to tolerate or respect those who do not practice textilism - as does the majority and as we do. Being as the practice of
textilism is now the attitude of the majority, it is possible to boldly invoke the "respect" which must be demonstrated by those who do not want to practice it - the same kind of "respect" which should be shown by the slave toward the master, by blacks toward whites, by women toward men, etc.

Therefore, since we believe that it is not possible to share the beach in mutual tolerance and respect with people who do not practice textilism, we want them to be legally prosecuted and for the police or other authorities to carry out a campaign of moral policing . We don't want to be in the presence of groups of mutually tolerant and respectful people who can share the beach even though some or most are practicing textilism. We thus consider the Measures to Ensure
Peaceful Coexistence and Discriminate Against Anyone Who Does Not Want to Practice Textilism on the Beach to be a just measure, since it provides
background information and gives people the option to practice textilism with a moral justification - or else they can be required to pay a fine and to be informed at the same time that they can take themselves to the assigned ghetto where they can suspend the practice of textilism.

TEXTILIST PLATFORM

I hereby sign the Textilist Manifesto to expel those who refuse to practice textilism on the beach. I request that my signature also serve to prevent coexistence with mutual tolerance and respect, and to discriminate against and send to the non-textilist ghetto all people who do not want to practice textilism on the beach.
