Who is the Enemy?
In human warfare, the most common, fundamental practice on every “side” of such a conflict is the methodical dehumanization of “the enemy” via controlled, repeated, heavy-handed propaganda.
In virtually every case, on every side, this propaganda is correct; those on the other side of the conflict are in fact non-human, even anti-human monsters. However, there is a crucial nuance in this truth that is carefully and invariably successfully swept under the rug; it’s true of only some of those on the other side of the conflict. And in fact, it is only true of a tiny fraction. Specifically, it’s only true of those sociopaths in national leadership positions and those in the business of building war machines who are willing (perhaps even eager) to sacrifice the lives of humans for their own wealth and power.
It’s equally true of those in leadership and war manufacturing roles on “this side” as well as “that side” of every such conflict. In other words, human warfare is a conflict between a tiny number of sociopaths (anti-humans) in leadership and war machine manufacturing roles who are willing to promote the killing of countless humans on either “side” who have no real conflict with each other whatsoever.
There is no mortal conflict between Ukrainian humans and Russian humans; no such conflict between Israeli humans and Palestinian humans; no such conflict between American or British humans and Russian humans. Certainly no conflict that calls for anything other than a good hearted argument over a shared meal with the only lasting negative effect being some measure of a next-day hangover.
Instead, human wars are conflicts over unthinkably concentrated wealth and power between specific individuals and consortiums thereof who have been allowed to put their anti-human hands on the levers of collective decision-making and the rest of us are allowing ourselves to get dragged into widespread, deadly conflict on behalf of their demoniacal goals. Which is insane.
The enemy is not the Russians, Chinese, Americans, Israelis, Palestinians, French, Germans, Canadians, Iranians. The enemy is Joe Biden, Vladimir Putin, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Justin Trudeau, Emmanuel Macron, Mohammed bin Salman, Benjamin Netanyahu, Olaf Scholz, Mahmoud Abbas, Ali Khamenei, Xi Jinping, Rishi Sunak, etc. And every un-named bureaucrat and corporate officer who profits personally from the manufacture and marketing of mass human killing technology.
It’s time for humans everywhere to revolt against the anti-humans; the real enemy. These creatures simply need to be removed from positions where their demonstrated sociopathic tendencies can do global damage.
Once again, here’s the world-saving heuristic for determining whether a potential (or current) political candidate may be a sociopath who is morally and ethically unfit to hold public office: if they want the job, they should not be allowed anywhere near the job.
