The whole idea that there is some sort of binary existential war between "left" and "right", "good" and "evil" etc... "Anti" and "M/Y-AP" is, in its own way, a psyop - active measures (to use a KGB term) - waged against people - humanity writ large. It makes people fight among each other in the physical plain, while the real battle - the only battle that matters - is occuring in the psychological plain, the domain that most people ignore or are unaware of. What is this real battle? It is a conflict between what is natural and what is artificial. 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘺𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘮 is what is artificial (or, rather, at this point 𝘪𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 artificial as its life has been prolonged unnaturally). It is the core. It is the heart. It is the actual enemy.

Notice, I'm not coming at this from any of the positions people are familiar with. This isn't about class, or race, or religion, or ability, or even sexuality per se. All those things are abstractions.

And the very thing that creates all these abstractions and thrives on the fake conflict they create is itself an abstraction that is so abstract that people can't even conceive of it! How else could it be! It's brilliant! It's devilish!

Fighting another person and thinking that in eliminating them you can finally bring about the "change" that you want is a false belief, promoted and reinforced 𝘢𝘥 𝘪𝘯𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘶𝘮 by this same artificial System. When one abstraction wins out over another, the System merely changes its colours to reflect that winner. The System itself is never replaced - changed. Real change comes from within, not without. Change yourself, and you change the System, by starving it of the one resource it needs to live: your attention.

@Aldo So close to my own view. "The system" was constructed, before "the system" which I will clarify and then stop quotating, is the idea of hierarchy. Systems themselves can be useful, like tools, some tools can be used for good or bad, some tools can only be used for good, then even some other tools can only be used for evil. The system we exist within, the system of hierarchy, is a system that can only be used for evil, because it requires by definition the subjugation of another entity, it is by definition evil. Yet it is the society we live in, this explains the feeling of unease, as though we are trapped in a prison run by sadists but all our conscious perceptions are telling us we are free, so we don't fight back, we doubt ourselves, we go get labels, we get meds, all the while the system that caused our sickness is ignored, and this ignoring is allowing it to continue to rape a child, at the center of this system is a raped child, and it is raped forever. /vent

@Jazzy_Butts no, it's not the idea of hierarchy. The idea that hierarchy is bad is itself an abstraction created and perpetuated by the System in place! In fact, part of the way it maintains its own power over people is by convincing them that hierarchy is bad! It creates a shadow puppet for you to fight! Hierarchy exists in nature, only it changes over time. This current System, in seeking to prolong itself, also 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨𝘴 the current hierarchy. 𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘵 is what many dislike. They don't dislike hierarchy itself (who wouldn't want to have power?), they dislike the 𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘨 of a hierarchy. They 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘶𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘺 dislike it without being able to properly articulate it, which suits the System just fine, because then it can insert the words you think you want to say right into your cranium!

You fall into the trap of talking about "tools" and "good" and "evil", which are all themselves abstractions!

You're falling into the trap while thinking you are climbing out of it! You are like a diver getting nitrogen narcosis, thinking that they are going to the surface of the water when in reality they are going deeper and deeper.

You are arguing that everyone ignores the System, but no they don't! They give all their attention to it, at all times! Ignoring the System consciously is what will lead to it finally dying and being replaced by a newer, more vitalistic System, as there will always be a System in place. Humans are humans, after all.

It is not fatalistic to consciously ignore the System, ironically and paradoxically, it shows sovereign will and agency, the very thing that the System siphons off from people!
