Hello everyone,
I know that many will disagree with me, but they don't
have to. The way we are manipulated—how we are deceived by patriotic values,
faith, and noble-sounding phrases—is nothing more than part of an absurd
political theater. Those who do not support this "circus" are
instantly branded as enemies: they are labeled as "Putinists" or
anti-state subversives and dragged through the mud. It is nothing new since the
days of Albert Camus' The Stranger—those who refuse to conform to societal norms
are simply discarded.
Below, I am sharing some paraphrased ideas of Jacque
Fresco, who in my view was a vital 20th-century thinker and social activist.
Let us not strive to be heroes, for heroism usually implies struggle, violence,
and bloodshed.
A religious person who supports war and rearmament is
being misled by a system that has taught them to believe in words, but not in
their meaning. They repeat "thou shalt not kill," yet they justify
bombs. They speak of loving their neighbor, yet they watch calmly as that
"neighbor" becomes an enemy simply because they live behind a
different border. This is not faith. This is programming.
The teachings of Jesus were simple and radical: do not
kill, do not harm, love, and forgive. There were no fine-print exceptions like
"unless it’s a war," "unless it’s in the state's interest,"
or "for defense." These exceptions were not created by God, but by
power structures that required obedient soldiers rather than conscious
individuals.
A religious person who blesses weapons believes not in
God, but in symbols, flags, and authorities. They believe because they are
afraid not to. If God is all-encompassing love, how can that be reconciled with
explosives? If human life is sacred, how can it be taken "legally"?
These are logical contradictions that would vanish in an instant if people
began to think instead of obey.
The problem is not religion. The problem is dogma
without understanding. Faith, divorced from critical thinking, becomes more
dangerous than any weapon because it allows a person to kill with a clear
conscience. Jesus never called for the creation of armies—he called for a shift
in consciousness. But changing consciousness is difficult, while building a
tank is easy. Thus, civilization chose steel over wisdom.
As long as people pray for peace but pay taxes for
war, nothing will change. A truly spiritual person does not ask, "Which
side is right?" They ask, "Why do sides exist at all?" Only then
does true faith begin—not in an institution, but in humanity.
A Rebellious Soul
