Them and us

Lately I have been interested in the various dynamics and ideologies of the community. There are obviously many interesting themes but what attracts me at the moment is the very root of the community idea or " Them and Us ".

If on the one hand on a purely theoretical level it is "literally cool" to imagine a global community of people who love each other deeply, it is clear that this image is absolutely unreal and absolutely unfeasible in reality.

Immersing oneself in the reality of the facts, the community underpins itself on the idea of Us and Them. That is, those who belong to a given community, who have decided to Be a Community, with an agreement that can be based on the most disparate shared elements that I will analyze another time, and those who are outside.

Those who are outside are not enemies but are certainly "something else". It is not yet someone from whom one must defend oneself but potentially can become one. Those who belong to a community should put the good and interests of the community itself before their own, go beyond their own likes and dislikes and always favour the good of the community and those who are part of it.

I realize that these premises can be used to instigate hatred towards "the other" to the point of becoming ethnic and cultural racism, but on the other hand the conscience of the ignorant will always find good reasons to hate.

The alternative is what is there now, namely the abyss towards which the woke mainstream single thought pushes. That is, isolated, uprooted beings, who have totally lost a sense of identity.

People who claim to love and care for each other and to be "open" and loving towards all races and all possible gender identities when in reality they are full of hatred that they blindly pour out on anyone who does not think like them. Howeve, what scares me most is not Their hatred but the willingness to repress any dissent based on a sense of idiotic moral superiority that they believe they have.

It is time to come out of the shadows, not to be afraid to be SOMETHING ELSE than the empire of NOTHING, to be BRAVE and proud of your DISSENT. Even in the hellish horizon that awaits us, we can build our little bubble of paradise.
