DARWINISM
DARWINSMOS
By Panagiotis Karafotias*
Briefly, with what has been happening and taking place in the last 4 years, with the war tragedy of Russia-Ukraine, with approximately TWO MILLION HUMAN LOSSES, plus injured, disabled and social and economic tragic consequences, also with genocides and serious disasters, in Gaza, with approximately 100 THOUSAND dead, injured, disasters, etc., and, finally, in the recent war conflict between Israel-USA and Iran, with also thousands of dead, injured, etc., with dramatic and tragic social and economic consequences also at a global level, and finally, the risk of attacks on Cyprus and Greece due to foreign military bases. In this case, it was right to send Greek and European military aid to the Republic of Cyprus, but the key issue is to force neo-imperialist Turkey to withdraw its illegal occupying troops from the Island in accordance with UN resolutions, because otherwise “something rotten is happening in the Kingdom of Denmark”. Consequently, with all these tragedies, humanity is nightmarishly troubled, and wonders why the above is happening, and indeed in the 21ο century where - supposedly - civilization and democracy have been established? And yet - what a tragic irony - the opposite is happening, and the famous Darwinian "survival of the fittest" or most ingenious is fully justified.
Unfortunately, the system they maintain of fierce competition, which essentially means the death of one for the life of the other (instead of the ancient greatness of emulation) has divided and eroded society religiously, politically, socially and economically, and we see the horrible results. In particular, fanaticism - according to Voltaire "the plague of the soul" - is mainly responsible!
After the tragedies of World War I and II, with approximately 100 MILLION DEAD, etc., some idealistic democratic leaders founded the League, which, however, failed miserably due to the known reasons, and especially in the attempt to ban war in general with the important Kellogg-Briand Pact, which, however, was undermined by the warmongering establishment and failed. But the same happened to the UN (Agenda for Peace, etc.) from its undermining by the same profit-making establishment, simultaneously undermining and burying every effort to consolidate world peace.
The fiercely competitive circles took care to manage education, media, cinema, etc. to their liking, promoting fierce competition, division, extreme individualism and narcissism so that the strongest or most skilled prevail, which ultimately results in complicity in the framework of "Power corrupts".
The revelation of the French Institute for Economic and Social Development (IEDES) in Paris in the 60s shocked:
After the establishment of the UN, executives of its organizations such as FAO, ILO, UNDP, UNICEF, visited underdeveloped countries (after the 70s they were renamed developing countries) in Africa, Asia, Latin America, etc. to determine the level of hunger, poverty, diseases, etc., but either they themselves or their comrades, organs of companies producing and trading weapons systems, investigated at the same time whether there were religious, etc. minorities, who did not coexist peacefully, so they informed their bosses and they sent "experts", who bought some with millions of dollars, armed them and the conflicts began!... And the story continues! And today, a few corrupt and fanatical leaders cause war tragedies with incalculable negative consequences internationally. People have lost their value in the face of power-mania and profit-mania!...What a decline!
But the most important thing in this story is the indifference of religious and political leaders in particular, who instead of reacting in an organized and decisive manner, watch the tragedy as if they were watching a science fiction film on TV or in the cinema!
And the UN, undermined and divided, remains a sad observer without being able to intervene in any tragedy! Will they be tragedies without catharsis?
Finally, something shocking: Some revealed through Artificial Intelligence that Lucifer appeared to the above corrupt and fanatical leaders begging them to stop the wars because Hell was full of warmongers, etc. abusers and could not hold more! Also, Saint Peter also appeared begging them to find pure people in "Paradise" because it is empty!
The wise saying of the Great Sophocles remains tragically true: "Many evils befall no man more evil"!...
