Narrations are controlled. Powerful
control narration that is deemed to be true and mainstreamed into herds through
regulated influence, communication and entertainment. In the last few years
these legacy instruments of control are seriously dented by social media and platforming
of grassroot voices. Despite serious misuse there is a strong element of dissemination
of democracy and diversity of views. As long as facts are nearer to the truth interpretations
of vibrant divergent voices matter.
Migration is constant feature in
nature, and so is with humans being an indelible part of nature. National borders
are quite a new understanding and seems like a recent aberration in long
history of free movement. Migration of people brings fresh ideas and energy
into hospitable community. The reason why there is migration to certain regions
of the world is an indication of better opportunity for enhancements which in turn
reflects value systems nurtured that creates better societies and space for
evolved ideas, thoughts and innovation. It is not an accident that recent progress
of humanity is nurtured in certain parts of the world. Much of freedom that
world experiences through ideas and technologies is largely due to regions of
the world nurtured by vibrant thoughts and humanistic concerns. This is not to say
that there aren’t any problems but these are idealized and percolates into
populace. Evolved society provides space for development, that doesn’t mean it will
be utilized for better by all. Most humans by their very nature seek security of community
in its lowest commonest denominator of responsibility and intellect. It is only
very few who consolidate and enhance progressive thoughts and scientific
thinking. Waves of immigrants from West due to famine (Ireland) and
prosecution (jews) found best possibilities in USA hence contributed to its
amazing progress. Sometimes society progresses so fast, essentially with free
speech and technology, that much of people are stuck in past. Despite technology
driven globalization last few years have seen consolidation of nationalist
feelings and rising insecurity among common people. Neoliberal value systems
and catastrophic impact of climate will make matter worse.
Other as enemy is easy to
construct. For charlatans dividing people on myths is to divert attention from realities
of poverty, corruption and existential crisis. The other is always a construct around which prejudice
and worst of fear are build. Fantastical narrations of juvenile religions creates
myths of grand herd obfuscating history of barbarians. Herd carry these crude identities
hence ease of the other. Skin color is oldest of the other that primitives associate
degrading values to demean the other. And, in societies with large migrations
this other is easy to spot and construct prejudices and myths of dire. It is
not to say that the other is always benign needy or carry vibrant possibilities
of difference and diversity. Examples of Europe, especially feudal-values-compromised-carrying-high-estimate-of-itself Britain, shows primitive other as immigrants
can severely degrade society and incite regressive revivalism and xenophobia. It
is therefore responsibility of society to decide what kind of people enter and assimilate
into them as also the numbers so that herd demography shift doesn’t pose the
worst and impact progressive values. As societies evolve it is but natural that
fertility rate reduces (barbarians, insecure and egoistic irresponsible breed
like pigs), as it is human population is significant cause of deteriorating
conditions across the world, serious impact on nature and debilitating pressure
on other species. Neoliberal market, religion driven charlatans and cunning politicians
have eternal need for breeding populace. Advancement in technology must suffice
the shortage of humans in advanced societies. Cheap labor cannot be an incentive
for immigration since it stands on the foundation of the other as cheap -less
valued, this degrades progressive values. Democracy, liberty and freedom are
cherished ideas on which progress of humanity is hinged hence cannot be
bartered. These are not religion based. These are humanistic evolved ideas through
best minds over centuries.
For the very reason allowing
immigrants is not religion based compassion, nor a moral right. It is a reasoned decision by state
weighing in conditions and situations. Devious forces may conspire but increasing
human population is never good for society, nation or earth. Ideally richer
society must evolve into compassion but it must be firmly hinged on realities
of state as also awareness of forces working to misuse as also need for assimilating into progressive values. Pope Francis comparison
of American presidential candidates is patently dangerous and irresponsible. There
is no comparison here. He need to comprehend the serious
situation. Migration happens because of unequal world. It is this inequality and
brutality of state and non-state that must be focus. You cannot slate
immigration to compassion and balance it with brutality of denying right for abortion (also, he needs to educate himself on the meaning of assassination,
really disgusted, totally unbecoming). Further, this religion-based balderdash of
human life being sacred exceptional must be dealt. Capital punishment must be appropriately
used in rarest of rare circumstance and cannot be given away as evolved value system.
It isn’t. It is an expression of religion (that centers human life) at the expense
of victim and family who faced heinous crimes and limited resource of poor society that must provide for law abiding. This ofcourse doesn’t mean eye
for an eye barbarian value of another religion extreme. Religion must face
logical exigencies of modern world and learn to value individual liberty or
face obsolesce as nuisance. Meanwhile Pope must urgently reconsider his stand on
American election and unconditionally support progressive candidate.
