You know what terrifies me more than war? The absolute, willful ignorance that seems to be consuming society like wildfire. We are living in a world where facts are optional, where truth is negotiable, and where the loudest liar can drown out a thousand experts if they just scream long enough. And it's not just misinformation anymore — it's weaponized stupidity. We’re watching people choose delusion over reality, again and again, like it’s a birthright.
The real threat isn’t just war — it’s the sickness that leads to war: depravity. Not violence for necessity, but violence for ego. Not rebellion for justice, but rebellion because someone didn’t get their way. We’ve crossed into a space where anyone can invent their own facts, their own laws, their own gods — and worse, force others to live under them. Reality is being held hostage by fantasy and fear.
And what’s at the end of this path? Not freedom. Not peace. Anarchy. Collapse. The rise of petty tyrants and prophets of lies. The breakdown of any shared meaning. Because if everyone gets to define their own truth, then no one has to be accountable to anything.
We already see the cracks: fascism repackaged as patriotism, hate speech excused as "free thought," genocide fantasies hidden under nationalism. In a world where people are proud to be uneducated, where empathy is weakness, where cruelty is "strength" — how can democracy survive? How can humanity survive?
Let’s be honest. War isn’t inevitable because we are violent animals. It’s inevitable because we’re too proud, too petty, too greedy to choose cooperation over domination. History doesn’t repeat because we forget it — it repeats because too many people simply don’t care.
And the worst part? We pretend like this is normal. Like this isn’t the exact kind of moral rot that brought down every empire before us.
So no — this isn’t just about politics. It’s about survival. It’s about whether we, as a species, can grow up before we burn everything down.
Because if we can’t agree on reality, then we are not a society — we’re just a ticking time bomb with a million fingers on the trigger.
Be respectful, no personal info, and no hate speech.
