Mesa V. Kuller

Early Life

Mesa V. Kuller was born in the island of Hansa to a lower class family. He learned how to read and write in the Hansa basic education system, but never pursued a specialized education due to lack of funds. Instead, after graduating his secondary education he began work at the Henrey Cactus EXP Factory in Hansa, which remained his occupation. During this time, he would borrow and read a number of books concerning Rathnir's history, politics, and religions. In his studies, he would learn about the many wars and conflicts which raged the land, as well as the accounts of soldiers fighting in these wars, who often faced betrayal from their allies, careless but costly mistakes from their superiors, and needless death at the hands of incompetent state officials who waged wars for their own geopolitical gain. These accounts would be something that greatly influenced his own view of war and violence in general.

Writing the Doctrine of Trollitarianism

Having nearly finished the first part of his studies, Kuller came to several conclusions on the purpose of violence within politics in Rathnir. Specifically, he saw the justification of new wars using old conflicts as an act of moral suicide, as violence was not being justified as a means to peace, but rather as a means to more violence. In that way, he saw that violence in Rathnir was not a tool to achieve political ends as the states of his time claimed, but rather a tool to continue the cycle of expropriation and killing which haunted the world.

This first conclusion, which led him to think that he was living in a time without true morals and ethics as justifications, had him to the first step to making the philosophy of Trollism - that actions were inherently meaningless. He saw that the state's role in society was one to enforce its own morals using violence - but if morals didn't exist anymore as valid justifications, and violence only existed to perpetuate itself - then the state's role in society was no longer one to enforce morals, but to systematically perpetuate violence. It was this role for the state that he used to explain the never-ending struggles and violence in Rathnir, as violence was no longer a means but an end goal of the state.

From this redefining of the state, he saw that to stop the acceleration of violence, a new society would need to be born - a stateless society. Such a society would not try to justify itself with morals or ethics as the old ones had, but act purely in the interests of trolling, that is, purely to continue meaningless actions for meaningless ends. It would be a complete reflection of the current period, but without a state to hold a monopoly on violence. From this new society, commissions would be formed to direct the political, social, and economic energies of society towards single trolling goals. It was the formation of these new commissions that would transform a society from being a purely anarchic trollist society, to a truly organized trollitarian society.

The new Trollitarian order would no longer be composed of individuals or states seeking to justify their actions with concrete political ends, but only organized trolling and nothing more. The world would be revolutionized and ethics would be destroyed, for the sake of stopping violence.
