So there is a realization by
pretentious controllers of narrations that charlatan's "election lie is
working" or, in a carefully calibrated sentence, "lie has become an
article of faith for his supporter". Is there a surprise? Isn't it the
same framework for religions? That you create system of belief with little bit
of profound thoughts -by enlightened souls in the limited context of the times
they lived that seek answer to spiritual yearnings, insecurities/unknown, an attempt
to ameliorate miseries of common people, some bit of empathy, but much load of
crap from the context of cave people, primitive values of barbarians, adamantly
elevated as ultimate unquestionable truth to degrade contemporary
reality. These are then nurtured by devious herd controllers as sacred
right while uncouths eat into liberal values and humanistic concerns, as also
negate evolved sensibilities of the contemporary. Feudal values and ascriptive entitlements feed
the worst to degrade the society so as to cleverly take attention from themselves
or furiously position as stabilizing force against chaos of ‘democracy’, as
benign presence overseeing humanity at a terrible cost. They systematically solidify
foundation of nepotism, cronyism and hypocrisy that persistently work against
liberty and freedom -ideals that enrich democracy and liberal values. They trap
people in cunning talks using semantics of high concern and emoting appropriate emotions all the while amassing power,
money and clout. "Lies that work", indeed fantastical fiction,
through miracle books, scriptures, holy texts, self-righteous moral sickness,
"articles of faith" -all of which essentially comes with amazing level of nuisance to create misery to common people while seeking to guide,
encouraging them to be unthinking, preventing awareness of evolving reality or
atleast be empathetic. They create sociopaths with grand views of the world and
essential exceptionalism of being the best followers or that their god or
godforsaken holy books/faith/tradition are the best, religious supremist viciously compete.
With foundation of hypocrisy, they
tarnish best of intentions, whether against racism or encouraging diversity, by
playing for gallery -that they usurped as woke. Their concern is always to win
debate and appear from the woodwork on every occasion to play unsolicited savior
to consolidate gain at the expense of common people. It is the deep sense of hopelessness
and anguish which they leave in their wake that charlatans like Trump are able
to capitalize. It is a matter of grave concern that likes of Trump are belligerently
usurping space of collective insecurities of societies across the world while decrepit
Bidens of the world arrogantly cling to power, trapped in their
own version of grand past as a poignant metaphor for collective helplessness of
collapsing world and real time horror show for humanity (Biden is a nice man, he must realize the gravity of the situation). Nothing seems to reflect
the diming reality or existential threats faced by common people, in the turn
of sentence there is entertainment value but no attempt at discerning the
truth, in the competing binaries they have fallen through the crack of debating
points. Like headless chicken they cluck towards anyone who excites their emotions
and keep their illusion intact.
With feudal values they nurtured nepotistic
control -that is reflected in religion and neo liberal capitalism, entrenched hypocrisy
degraded semantics of dealing which was easily usurped by devious charlatans to
impress people. Words like ‘liberal’ ‘diversity’ so on, even facts, don’t mean
anything -and we wait with increasing trepidation on what form of assault
latest technology is going to unleash into this context of degrading dehumanizing
world, while egalitarian values and democratic intents are no show and hooted
out as boring. Charlatans play the high decibel entertainment of fantastical
fiction that religion impressed and neo liberal extended. Isn't market
capitalism the same 'lie that is working'? It is becoming increasingly clear
that nature is no longer able to take this lie that is embellished in the fantasy
of unlimited choices in unlimited world of luxury. This lie doesn't include
majority of people nor is it based on values that encourage critical thinking
or sustainable living or empathy. The lie of hedonism and wanton consumption packed
as liberal values and democratic choices hinging progress and development.
Tenets of capitalism, like religion, has become “article of faith” that cannot
be questioned as the world spiral into doom. Indeed, there is an urgent need to
modify capitalism to fast evolving reality, and how nations are valued for
'development' and investment, and individual evaluated for worth. This seems to
be more urgent than IPCC CoP meets -that is seriously compromised by market
capitalism and neo liberal assault. First sort out the system. If you are going
to work within the same system that seeks consumption as well as conservation
then it really cannot work. Simple use of intellectual faculty will tell that
these are contradictory. Most sane people know that urgent action at international
level is needed but the system will not allow it, they cannot even agree on ‘phase
out’ fossil fuel. Unless something like "sustainable capitalism",
oxymoronic it may sound, is worked out then this is really the home stretch for
much of humanity while psychopaths amass to control and detach. Economists and
policy makers must come together to evolve the economic system -that is
breaking the living world, anew into a generative economics with life systems
at the core. We cannot have economic system that reflects the destructive ‘growth model’ of
20th century and expect to face emerging challenges that has absolutely
no precedence. If the core is rotten no amount of COPs matters, they will fail
terribly. The fixation that economic stability is what that matters for political or social stability is being seriously questioned. Unless economic system reflects what is valued the make believe will collapse. Resilience of biodiversity is reducing with degrading habitat and vanishing species. Life cannot bail out.
