Facades of Order
Hello, all. Want to discuss some heavy topics here so brace ahead to be disappointed in humanity.

So, a lot of people often chant "It's 2023" today. And that's going to be the main theme of this post. That we live in a modern age of so much documented history and advancement and blah blah blah, and yet there are plenty of places all around the world stuck in primitive societies. I don't mean nomad camps in the middle of nowhere, I mean full on region-societies of people all living as if they were savage cavemen.
In 2023, the normal person should be concerned about finding a job, looking for love, thinking of what to do with their life. But it's just sad and shocking how so many in the world today don't live in that normal lifestyle.
I mean, aside from our usual stereotypes, "third world" countries are really no different than "first world" countries. Like I said before, the real reason "third world" countries are so poor and broken are because of its government corruption, or something is happening in that region that is causing something bigger than local government can handle.
For example, when I look at the middle east, there is so much conflict that it's not always as easy and simple to say it's all the "US meddling fault" as so many closed book narratives become. The region of the middle east is the oldest region in the entire world that has had the first of national disputes. Everywhere from the Jews in Israel to the Egyptians, and later on the Palestinians and Islam. I mean, the Roman Empire? This is before that! The Greeks and Spartans? Way before that!
The conflict in the middle east is a human problem as old as time.
In Ancient eras, the middle east was a huge conflict between the Jews and the Egyptians and all the other nations you don't hear about today that aren't as relevant to the modern age like the Hittites and Ammonites, the Meso, and Benzos. Anyway, ancient history is it's own historic course you all can learn on your own.
But what I'm saying is the middle east today is still the most absurd place on Earth where people can not live in PEACE. In our modern age, the newer religion of Islam, specifically radical Islam, is what is largely creating the most strife in border relations and everything now in the middle east has become one giant circus show of fighting.
As you all may know by our huge theme, PEACE is very important. But the middle east of today continues to be a silly blood war between ancient borders and modern politics.
If you ask me, I think it's better for each nation to respect each other's sovereignty and leave it at that. This whole recent attack and reaction is a result of the middle east failure to govern themselves and properly establish their region between all the different viewpoints in all that cluster of countries. This new conflict was a ticking time bomb so silly it is a logistical map failure.
There shouldn't be anyone attempting to invade someone else's sovereignty. It seems, invasion itself sometimes becomes political. Whether it's Japan trying to conquer China, or Russia trying to reclaim Ukraine and Ukraine wanting to be left alone, or whether it's Iraq receiving the Hitler treatment of being invaded because they are terrorizing and expanding.
The goal is that everybody needs to take a step back from fighting, and be civilized about discourse.
So, it's ironic that this simple blog post about calling for a peace is enough for one side of a battle to already deem this blog as hateful or bias.
That's just where we are in the modern age, the middle man asking for peace has to pick a side.
Why is peace so hard? It's pretty obvious who are the evil doers and who are the innocent in war. Whatever religion you are part of, it's one thing to go to war with someone, but to stoop down to evil acts of butchering, and all kinds of inhumane murdering is reason for itself to violate all that is human and peaceful. Just look at how history has already played out. Anytime a nation like England or France or Germany or Italy or China or Japan tries to invade and become an empire, it almost always fails by it's own initiative. Every large empire eventually crumbles and returns onto its original territory. This is not the same case with the US, as many dictators call us. The US is an example of tribal states becoming a new nation. The US is one of the rare moments we have seen this in the modern age where a nation rose from the native population. As many don't want to admit it, the colonial heritage that England planted grew to despise their regulators. The US was a human-made nation that mixed into the native land. It's typical to just say that the "natives" were eliminated from their land, when the truth is closer to natives that joined into the US that we know today and who even fought with the colonial natives to build the nation we have today. The US is an example of tribal warfare becoming a recognized nation. The same occurred when the French inherited their own land and conquered the tribal wars of its own region. Same with any nation we have today.
The actual case for human war is more a theme of secular humanity, and not always due to religion. Religion, when at play, has a reason to inflict war onto others, but when it comes to war without religious pretext, it all goes back to the secular natural belief of survival --the big fish eating the small fish. So, I just want to point that out, that human war is separate in either being because of religion or because of secular beliefs of natural survival. History is not so one sided. When you judge a nation that goes to war you have to look at the reason being one of the two: secular or religious. And if it's due to religion, you have to address who is giving the authority and justification for murder, and who is breaking their own religion. So, to say "all wars are from religion" is just not true. Wars, senseless human murders, are done by either secular natural survival, or through religious acts. Either way, you have to look at the case by case issues and fact check if a war is actually abiding by its own religion. Which, unless you are Moses being guided by an Almighty paving your way out of Egypt, it's pretty near impossible to justify any modern murder today on the text of religious conquest. That, unless you got the Almighty at your active side, it's kind of wrong to justify any murder today be an act of righteous retribution as oppose to human murder. But that's just where we are in today's age, people using religious text to vouch for their actions despite having no Almighty present to declare such murders like in the case of Moses. In fact, the modern Christian is meant to be Christ-like and not murderous or anything short of loving thy neighbor. Even if you judge the US for waging war against other natives, you have to remember that the US has never been a Christian nation (Theocracy), as much as it has been a country made up of Christian majorities. The modern Christian only follows after Jesus, there is no nation or other representative like the Catholic. In fact, the US of today is made of every religion you can think of, even the standard atheist. But the US itself is not governed by religious text as it is governed by it's own morals.
But that's just the Christian. The Jews and Muslim live by their own texts and have no problem murdering for the sake of their religion, and they will pay the price for that as we see today when modern religion has to play nice with secular international laws and politics. Anyway, the reason for this is me saying that the world is not in conflict about these small tribal issues as it is currently in conflict about established nations that can't ever seem to agree with each other, even between the radical Islam and the rest of Muslim religion. The problems today are an international failure of secular-religious policies.
This isn't a war between the middle east and the "evil" Jewish westerners. This a war between the natives and the invading Muslims as proven by History. Again, the difference between the US vs Native Americans and Palestinians vs Israel is due to who invaded who. The US never invaded the Natives, they were the natives planted by the English and by all other nations that also explored into this region. The Colonizers were defeated but the offsprings remained. That's a completely different comparison to Muslims that invaded into the Jewish homeland and established their religion there and then called the Jews the Colonizers. While the Jews were already in that homeland even before they were enslaved into Egypt and long before they established their own kingdom. This is all in History. Not for debate.
As someone has pointed out, "They[Jews] were conquered by Assyrians, then Babylonians, then Medio-Persians, then Greeks, then the Romans. I presumed you already know the Ancient Kingdom of Judah and Israel. Well, the land belonged to the Canaanites."
This again highlights the native vs national reality of a region. Were the ancient Canaanites Islam? No. They were just another tribal city that lived in that region once. So were the Jews. But we don't talk about native warfare, we talk about national. Who loses in native wars determine the region. Just like I said earlier about today's current nations like France, England, Italy, so forth. The Jews long ruled in that entire region until an outside empire came in. Just like the Romans, the British, and now the religious reach of Islam squatters.
But since we're talking about religion today, it's best for all of you to catch up on your history, which religion came first, and how do scriptures differ. I also suggest looking into some philosophy to the questions religion brings up. Hopefully that will guide people more than just today's news. But this requires an educated approach to understanding.

But anyway, that's enough ranting. The real topic. Our fake modern society.
The real reason I wanted to make this post was to highlight how all of this is an example of just how unstable humanity is even in 2023. That we have so much documented history to learn, so much technology, that we are all acting like savage cavemen using drones for dropping bombs, using phones to locate enemies, using live streaming to broadcast be-headings.
It's all just sick, and even in "first world" countries, these Facades of Order continue by our corruption in politics and policy. How the economy becomes more unstable, more people fight for survival, drugs run rampant through security checks, and all those people in power are busy living in the cozy upper lifestyle of stocks and influence.
Our Facades of Order are reflected, even in our US politics with a missing House Speaker, A President that is unfit to hold office, and the overwhelming power struggle in the senate seats.
I am personally disgusted about the way people we are suppose to depend on as a society become nothing but a circus show of pointing fingers and scandals and fire-alarm pullers.
I can't wait for the day when we stop voting based on popularity and actually hold our politicians accountable for their job roles as well as city counsels and school districts.
This is reality we have created today.
I don't want to go any further because these whole topics just give me the most upsetting reality check.
Either way, I will be here, continuing the better part of humanity by continuing to provide more content, more art, more music, anything that is actually better for the future than our current modern road bumps. Someone has to keep the lights on even while the politicians feud. Even through war, through death, life will find a way to rebuild and hopefully become stronger...until we get another future wanting more corruption and war. But that's why we need to uphold our basics even better, especially with days like these that feel as if we are all missing professional leadership.
Everything about violence, disorder, evil, it all conflicts to our natural reality of love, stability, wanting peace, doing things correctly. Chaos is what nobody deserves, but that many want to create.
I'll end by telling you guys one of my most favorite worldy quotes "The only thing for evil to triumph is for good people to do nothing." So while we can't always be fortunate to have a hero to come along, or someone that is actually spearheading change, we should at least remember this quote.Heroes come and hereos go, but our countries will suffer the more years that pass without any maintenance or order or checks and balances for accountability. This clearly creates corruption and political circus shows. So we can't always act surprised about hard times.
