Here we shall study, examine, and analyze the tyranny or general depravity of human morality/ethics.
I would like to start with a quote from C.S. Lewis.
“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”- C.S. Lewis
Morality is by its very nature anti-tyranny, so it cannot be tyrannical. You can, however, be tyrannized by people who PRETEND to be moral. Or, as is more often the case, you might be a bully who perceives any kind of restriction on your bullying as a tyranny, even though it is NOT tyranny, but anti-tyranny. This is simply what bullies do: they manipulate by twisting words in order to achieve whatever they want to achieve.
Tyranny refers to violence, not to suffering . . . tyrants may suffer from trying to overcome their tyrannical inclinations, but that does not mean they are committing violence.
It is tribalists, and not moralists, who torment people “for their own good”. Spartans, for example, used to torment their children supposedly because it was good for them, but in reality, they tormented them because they wanted to preserve their tribe. There are claims that Spartans have descended from a Jewish tribe. Not sure if this is true, but it would make perfect sense.
To be moral means to have a respect for others’ autonomy. A man who torments others with the excuse that it is “for their own good” cannot be said to be moral. Rather, he should be seen as an immoral individual who makes use of deception in order to make other people do want he wants them to do.
Ritualized behavior is a mode of behavior that is favored by Nature in unpredictable environments. Its opposite, which is spontaneity, is favored by Nature only in sheltered environments such as that of civilization. It is for this reason that it is ridiculous that you speak AGAINST civilization and IN FAVOR of tribalism when it is precisely TRIBALISM that PROMOTES this RITUALIZED form of behavior THAT WE DESPISE SO MUCH.
The moment you understand that our modern societies are not CIVILIZED but TRIBALISTIC is the moment everything starts to make PERFECT SENSE.
Agreed. The social contract is a myth and illusion.
In reality human society and civilization runs by social ultimatums enforced at the end of a barrel of a gun. Of course the dumb sheople like to think of themselves as free or independent instead of the reality which is caged livestock laboring on the global plantation where they really try to pretend in believing social contracts actually exists. Fucking idiots.
They’ll do whatever it takes to keep their precious illusion of self choice instead of seeing the reality of determining factors or equations. Can’t believe in that! That’s too cynical! Must upkeep the illusion at all costs!
Most people are too stupid to even perceive their own imprisonment or captivity.
