The Monstrous Civilization

the-monsterous-civilization

So much familiar we have grown and so much adjusted we became to the kind of life imposed by the western system that we have fallen under the spell of this western civilization’s thinking. We became convinced that there is absolutely no alternative to this kind of life dictated by western system and believing that any attempt at looking for an alternative or questioning this kind of imposed life in terms of values and goals shall turn us into sinful aliens, set against progress and technology and deserving to be punished as such.

No civilization on earth has ever so much alienated the human being and creatures in general , to the point that any doubt or serious questioning of the value of such progress whose victims have been outnumbered is considered a betrayal to the human condition and to its right to have access and enjoy and possess the highest technology ever thought of.

The truth is that this monster called the western system, and all its derivatives has grown to unusual proportions without us noticing. The truth is that we have been taken for a ride and deluded by the words of development and sciences and progress and technology, we could not read the real message that these words were covering, which are: conformity, materialism, greed and genocide. These are the acts and the western system is the author, and the victims are non other than us and everything related to us, this sacrificial ritual practiced by the religion of science and technology feeds on all: Men, woman, animal, plants, water, air, space, earth, all are eligible to offer their life for the monster to grow endlessly, nothing shall be spared, any one that does not conform to the pattern willingly or unwillingly shall be sacrificed. Any one who stands in the way of the progressing monster shall be wiped out, everyone and each has to conform and fit or die, this is not exaggeration, this is the simple truth.

This is what the white man came out with, this is the white man’s prospect for humanity and for life and nature. After turning religion into a prosperous business and an enemy to real spirituality, materialism became free to dance the “dance of the devil” and to sing “the song of love and freedom” while extracting life from everything and turning existence into a big profitable enterprise. Those who are not happy can die or starve or live under siege and occupation or be incarcerated for life or undergo all those things together or a combination of two or more, this is the choice left.

    Ghandi was asked once “What do you think about the Western civilization?”
    He replied: “It would be a good idea.”

    “The Monstrous Civilization”

    the monster got hatched when people forgot they were part of the world they live in and instead thought of themselves as conquering outsiders.

    the theme of this essay is similar to that dm wrote above.

    http://dissidentvoice.org/2012/08/beaten-down-isolated-angry-and-distracted/#more-45538

    “A couple of decades ago, upon returning to Atlanta, Georgia, after spending a year abroad, I would frequent an independent bookshop that contained a small coffee shop/cafe, where I would sip tea, read books and periodicals, and engage in the nearly extinct art of long form face-to-face verbal discourse with other habituates of the cafe. To this day, I have long standing friendships with a number of people I came to know during those years.

    Yet even then, I noticed how the atomization inherent to the internalization of the corporate state (the manner that the domination of commercial and work space had all but eliminated the public commons) had diminished so many people’s ability to converse on all but the most superficial level.

    Any invocation to deepen conversation or an assertion that arrived outside of the realm of status quo consensus caused all too many to simply go haywire. People checked out, went blank, testiness ensued…Comfort zones were mobilized for a siege. The space between people became a no man’s land, stippled with a minefield of sensitivities.”

    “Awake we share the world; sleeping each turns to his private world.”

    — Heraclitus

    “More often than not, the face of oppression is fronted by a facile smile and rewards you for your complicity by proffering piffling bribes.

    The comfort zones of the checked-out, distracted, self-involved citizens of empire are perched upon a mountain of corpses. When the agendas of a culture are circumscribed to merely selfish agendas and empty appetites — compulsive materialism, militarist aggression, bigotry cloaked as religious conviction — the world seems to wend towards wasteland.”
