In spite of having the whole history of modernity on their shoulders and all the evidence to the contrary in sight, there are many people who insist on believing and maintaining that the world-system works freely, that is, that nobody controls it.
And one wonders why, with so much evidence that a world government of global elites and their corporations exists and is advancing, there are still so many people who get nervous when someone denounces that, why do they quickly come out and scream "conspirators," "terraplanners," "anti-vaccines," etc.?
Because the devil is Baudelaire's devil, whose best trick is to convince his victims of his own non-existence. The global elites managed to convince many of their exploited that they themselves do not exist and that the people have power through their representatives, democracy, elections and all that we already know.
So, if you want to talk about international politics - real politics, as the General said - and you want to denounce the factual economic power that is globalist and stateless finance capital, you are accused by your own peers of things that have nothing to do with what you are saying. And so the debate is closed.
For example, you say that the global elites are taking advantage of the coronavirus situation to introduce a "new normality" in which there will be a global reordering, and they answer you by shouting "anti-vaccine". See well, you never talked about vaccines, you are not even interested in the subject. You are interested in geopolitics, but your peers disqualify you with something you did not and will not say.
That's because Baudelaire's devil creates fallacies of the straw man, that is, he invents archetypes so that those at the bottom automatically know in advance in what category to put those who question. Thus, power invented anti-vaccines, left them there as archetypes and common sense understood that every challenger is an anti-vaccine.
There's nothing to give to that, they've already succeeded. The "new normality" is going to be as they want it to be and this will be to the detriment of us, who with our aspirations on the ground are going to accept anything. Anything, even to live like beasts if the devil of Baudelaire wished it.
But this is as Galileo Galilei said before the Inquisition: "Eppur si muove". We will not triumph today, but perhaps in the long run we will. And we will have the satisfaction of not having participated in the hegemony of the dominant power.
Even if that means today the nickname of intellectually inferior. So was Galileo in his time for dissenting from the hegemonic narrative.
- Do not hesitate to ask if you need more, I had plans to help at another level (IT side) but everything is accelerating now.
