First, we saw how reality turns into perception.
And then how this perception evolved into a language in politics...
And then why this language resonates.
Now we come to the real question:
Why can't this cycle be broken?
It's Not Just Politics
The easy one is this:
Putting all the responsibility on politics.
But the difficult thing is to look in the mirror.
Because no political order,
It is not independent of the social ground that makes it possible.
And that ground has eroded over time.
Moral Fracture
The biggest problem today is not only wrong policies.
It is an understanding that legitimizes wrongdoing.
“If our people did it, it's okay”,
justice is replaced by belonging.
Thus, crime is assessed according to identity.
Wrong changes meaning depending on the side.
And morality ceases to be a principle;
into position.
Dangerous Threshold
This is the most dangerous threshold for a society:
Not the wrongdoer,
when it matters who did the wrong...
At that point justice collapses.
Because it is no longer a question of right and wrong.
It is a matter of us and them.
The Cost of Ownership
So it is not just politics.
It is what society embraces.
What thief can be “ours”,
nor shameless.
Because ownership,
also makes the owner responsible.
Vicious Cycle
Fair governance, universal democracy...
But above all, social morality.
Unless we put it at the center,
oscillating between victims and victimizers
we will remain in a vicious circle.
Because the problem is not only the system.
It is the assumptions that sustain that system.
Last Word
Unless we put social morality at the center,
between victims and victimizers
this vicious order will not change.
Because it is not just politics.
The question is what we consider legitimate.
Not the wrongdoer,
when it matters who did the wrong,
justice gives way to belonging.
What thief can be “ours”,
nor shameless.
Because ownership,
also makes the owner responsible.
And it should not be forgotten:
When a society looks at who did the wrong,
has already lost the truth.
