The world system doesn’t spare any effort when it comes to developing weapons of mass destruction. The rule of thump in this deadly business is, the newer ones must be more destructive than the existing ones. For the most part, these weapons of mass destruction are intended for use against humanity itself, or a component of it! To justify such horrendous proclivities, the ruling psychopathic elites of the powerful states have prepared ready-made ideologies that can support and facilitate their evil ambitions. One such obsession that always comes in handy is the strategy of separating humanity on the bases of race and ethnicity. Such division, based on the diverse nature of the species, has proved to be quite effective. To create immense hatred towards the ‘others’, a systemic inculcation of fear and insecurity (about all and sundry) became essential. As a result, the global masters have gotten away with mass murders!
Our current world system is one where the greed instinct is raised to the highest level of spirituality. It is now the unquestioned operating principle of the global order. From this organizing dogma to the ideology of worshipping outright evil is a mere footstep away, so to speak! Evil is where the techno-sphere is leveraged to the maximum to bring out the worst in humanity. Organized evil is when society endorses the complete moral degeneration of the human individual as well as the collective. Evil is when some members of society think the universe belongs to them and other life forms, including the whole ecosystem, are merely there to facilitate their parasitic and domineering existence, etc., etc. The ultimate outcome of such a sickening disposition cannot be all that good. In fact, unless collective humanity rebels against this prevailing malaise, our tenure on this delicate planet might be even shorter than anticipated.
All human values that took eons for their institutionalization are being destroyed by the shortsighted and callous manipulations of the prevailing global elites. Justice, honesty, truth, probity, harmony, peace, integrity, solidarity, etc. and their attendant institutions have been grossly undermined, and might well be on their way out! In late modernity, evil has ascended to a position where it can now dictate day-to-day affairs of collective humanity. Amongst the newer institutions that are empowered to implement pure evil, one can mention those agencies that are fully engaged in the production of ‘weapons of mass destruction’. The scary scenario of pending global pandemic due to pathogenic viruses/bacteria, from bioweapon labs, didn’t come with yesterday’s rain, so to speak. It has been around ever since the life sciences were opened up for continuous manipulation. The Japanese were probably the first to systemically experiment with bio weaponry. COVID-19, as the ongoing epidemic/pandemic is now called, might well have accidentally escaped from one of those Frankenstein labs or might have been spread intentionally by psychopathic operators of criminal states. Whatever the case, the fact remains that humanity is on its way to destroying itself in one form or another. Even those who would like to remain behind, after getting rid of the many ‘others’, might not be spared from the affliction of their inherent evil!
‘In Germany they first came for the Communists, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionist, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn’t speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me-and by that time no one was left to speak up.” Pastor Maritn Neimoller (Nazi victim).
When evil commands all major operations in the world system, why cannot decent humanity try to temper it, even if getting rid of it is an impossibility?
