Believing does not make you right.
6 months ago
I'm tired of people believing propaganda and yelling at me I am wrong.
I am tired of a family who spends more time yelling at me for the consequences of baseline problems.
I am tired of the IRL shitstorm that is my life at this moment.
What I believe is that there is no heaven nor hell. It would just be too insultingly easy if they existed because there would be a black or white morality. We have only this life and we have to make it count by not making everybody else's life hell. We have to live with today for today and think of the future constantly.
We live in a world that's hyperconnected, it would be easy if there were no countries, but countries exist, and the people who live inside of them exist and they have different cultures than us. I believe we should not insult them. Nor invade them. Culturally as well as with tanks. Nothing is worth to kill or die for just because somebody yells that we should kill all of a different culture. Or our own.
People yell at me that capitalism won and that it's the best thing ever, but.... this is not capitalism. Capitalism wants free information, yet information is not free and it's often bullied into your brain that you should feel a certain way about certain things. Capitalism is also 100% against copyrights and patents. Yet our world thrives on that.
I get yelled I should not be alive because my existence costs the state money and my existence is paid for with tax money because I am disabled. If I paid with my own money I would not be alive.
I believe the scientists who tell us the world we live on is just one and it's our duty to make sure it's still habitable for us.
I believe in a world were we support each others without greed or hunger for more. I believe we need a "siblinghood of mankind" not to tear each others apart.
I concede i might be wrong. But i hope i am not the only one to think in this way.

Capitalism promotes suffering because humans promote suffering. Selfish and greedy desires for perfection within gaining goods and money... Leads to slavery and suffering. It is not the inherent 'capitalist ideal', but those that embody it. The same as the communist dictators who pull away from communism when they realize they can abuse their power...
We've literally had studies about this. Humans who desire power are corrupt, while those who actually lead, typically don't want the power to begin with. *sigh*
... As I've said before. We need less 'bosses' and more 'leaders'.
Independently if heaven and hell exist or not, I can only agree that we should live as if this life was the only thing that we have. Because it certainly exists..
I also do agree that the existence of countries and of distincts identities makes more harm than good, and I wish that different nations could exist more as distinct cultural inheritance rather than a backbone of one's existence.. Religions, nationalities, ideologies exist mainly as mere means to manipulate others..
What can I say.. "Siblinghood of mankind" is possible between indivivuals, but on a global scale it seems completely unattainable for us (at least for the next centuries to come). Mankind itself is a term far too abstract..
You also hit the crux, Ideologies are too often used as a means or an excuse for propaganda and manipulation.
Mankind might be abstract but with literal global disasters getting more and more frequent and people going "but it's not us who made it so" in face of every proof to the contrary... i feel like this little wet rocky ball we live on should not be made unlivable.
But I agree that I think it our responsibility to try and work together to help end the suffering of humanity as a whole.
