In today’s world, the greatest threat is not war or massacre, but the hypocrites wearing masks of kindness, peace, and humanity. They use soft, comforting words to cover up evil, weaken justice, and dilute the truth.

They preach “transcending ideology and belief,” claim “we are all connected” and share a “common humanity.” With this vague, blurry moral rope that erases the line between right and wrong, they tie justice to evil, oppressors to victims, and executioners to their prey.

This is the most insidious, gentle poison in modern civilization, easily mistaken for kindness.

What is the true nature of “something deeper than belief”?

On the surface, it sounds like a call for world peace, racial reconciliation, cultural cooperation, and gender equality. But in reality, it erases moral judgment and undermines justice. It lets evil justify itself openly, repaints oppression as “cultural differences,” and grants tyranny legitimacy under the name of “social order.”

They wave the banner of humanity, blurring all evil and suffering into vague calls for “understanding,” “tolerance,” and “we are all the same.” Meanwhile, those who expose wrongdoing, resist oppression, or stand firm in their principles are labeled as “paranoid,” “extreme,” or “irrational.”

When you call out oppression, they say, “You’re too rigid—we need to move beyond ideology.”

When you stand up for justice, they tell you, “We’re all connected; there’s no need for conflict.”

When you expose evil, they shrug, “There’s no absolute evil; everyone’s just human.”

—This is the devil’s softest tune, played to lull us all to sleep.

The sixfold poison:

The approach of “transcending ideology and belief” inflicts sixfold damage on human civilization worldwide—corrupting political systems, social order, our understanding of humanity, bureaucratic structures, and public discourse:

1. The poison of politics: false legitimacy

When authoritarian regimes, exploitative powers, or oligarchic capital suppress people, strip away rights, and violate freedoms, they cloak themselves in the language of “national stability,” “social order,” and “cultural differences.”

Crackdowns become “maintaining order,” censorship becomes “preventing division,” and eliminating opposition becomes “removing social unrest.”

This gives political violence a false sense of legitimacy, allowing those in power to excuse their crimes as “just part of governing”.

2. The economic poison: entrenching class division

The global economy has long thrived on inequality and the exploitation of the working class. And whenever the oppressed begin to resist, someone would step forward to say: “Rich or poor, we are all human. We need to understand each other.”

With words like “connection,” “empathy,” and “shared humanity,” they blur the lines of class struggle, mask systemic theft, and soften the sharp edges of injustice.

In the end, the machinery of wealth extraction—class hierarchies, colonial economies, and obscene inequality—continues to run smoothly, anesthetized by the language of compassion.

3. The social poison: moral coercion disguised as virtue

In today’s global discourse, this rhetoric isolates anyone who dares to resist, speak out, or stand firm in their beliefs.

Raise your voice against injustice? You are being extreme. Expose oppression? You are being intolerant.

Under the soft but insidious weight of this emotional manipulation, society gradually loses its radical edge—its spirit of resistance and moral judgment. People begin to censor themselves, terrified of crossing invisible lines. Rebellion fades. Compliance becomes the norm.

4. The civilizational poison: losing our backbone

Great civilizations are built on the defense of core values—freedom, justice, dignity, belief, and the courage to speak out against injustice. But the logic of “transcending ideology and faith” amounts to self-castration at the level of civilization.

Instead of standing firm on principle, we are told to promote “peaceful coexistence” and “everyone has their own perspective.”

In practice, this means turning a blind eye to atrocities—as long as you stay silent, evil is no longer called evil.

Over time, humanity lose their backbone. What remains is a hollow shell: soft, compromised, and comfortably mediocre.

5. The poison to humanity: the pacification of the soul

On the level of individual consciousness, this rhetoric breeds generations who learn to numb themselves and rationalize evil.

They are taught to empathize with abusers, pity the exploiters, and forgive those in power—while treating the true defenders of justice as “dangerously extreme.”

Under this soft anesthesia of “human understanding,” human society gradually loses its ability to feel anger, resist oppression, or even recognize wrongdoing.

6. The bureaucratic poison: corruption in alliance

Within bureaucratic systems, the language of “transcending ideology” becomes the perfect excuse to suppress dissent, deflect accountability, and conceal corruption.

Every challenge is labeled “too emotional.” Every demand for justice is recast as “disruptive to stability.”

Thus, corrupt officials and enforcers of “order” form a silent pact—shielding one another while jointly harvesting power and resources under the soothing veil of moral neutrality.

Conclusion: Civilization must have a spine

Ideals may evolve, and faiths may be renewed—but they must never be abandoned, transcended, or rewritten.

True civilization is built on moral boundaries: to protect the vulnerable, to judge evil, and to uphold justice.

Anyone who claims to “transcend ideology and belief,” no matter how kind their tone or how gentle their words, is ultimately fighting to legitimize evil. They are playing the devil’s flute.

And those who applaud this narrative—who nod along with smiles and praises—should repent for their complicity, not bask in their self-satisfaction.

We may be kind, but we are not fools. We have empathy, but we do not applaud hypocrisy.

The backbone of civilization lies not in vague “connections,” but in clear moral boundaries and an uncompromising stand for justice.

世界に普遍的に存在する二つの人生:「制度の歯車」としての人生と「制度の燃料」としての人生

世界に普遍的に存在する二つの人生:「制度の歯車」としての人生と「制度の燃料」としての人生

Kishou · Aug 29, 2025

——人生を理解する:グローバルな制度進化における共生のジレンマと、そこからの解放への道 序論:世界的な制度の罠と、二つの人生の普遍性 北米、ヨーロッパ、アフリカ、ラテンアメリカ、中東、そしてアジアの各地域に至るまで、世界の社会には、制度設計によって形作られた二つの人生モデルが普遍的に存在します。それは、公務員の「制度の歯車」としての人生と、大衆の「制度の燃料」としての人生です。この二つの生き方は一見すると無関係に見えますが、現代の制度という機械において不可欠な二つの歯車であり、国家と社会の運転を共に駆動させると同時に、制度がもたらす深層的な操作と抑圧を共に受け止めています。 グローバルな視野からこの問題に切り込み、二つの人生の共通点と相違点を明らかにすることでのみ、現代の制度文明が抱える苦境をより深く理解し、その解決の道を模索することができるのです。 一、公務員の「制度の歯車」人生:世界の執行者たちが置かれた板挟みの状況 1.地域を越えた共通点:権限は限定的、しかし責任は重い 2. 役割の矛盾:忠誠心と人格の抑圧 公務員は上層部の政策を厳格に執行することを求められますが、十分な意思決定権や人格的な尊重を欠いています。彼らは制度における「交換可能な部品」となり、いつでも排除されるリスクに晒されています。 二、大衆の「制度の燃料」人生:世界で消耗され続ける社会の主体 1. 経済的搾取と社会的疎外の普遍的な存在 2. イデオロギーと情報操作という世界的現象 大衆は、断片化されたメディア環境の中で情緒的に誘導され、制度の深層的な問題に対する認識を欠いています。その感情は容易に操作され、制度を安定させ、動かし続けるための「従順な燃料」となります。 三、対立の否定:文化を越えた理解の下での共生の現実 四、グローバルな視点からの制度再設計:公正と尊厳を目指して 結論:共生を認識し、共に制度の束縛から解放されるために 公務員の「制度の歯車」としての人生と、大衆の「制度の燃料」としての人生は、現代のグローバルな制度文明における普遍的な現象であると同時に、制度的な共生のジレンマでもあります。文化の違いを乗り越え、互いの状況を認識し、共に制度設計を改革することでのみ、世界の社会は誤解と対立から抜け出し、真の公正、尊厳、そして幸福を実現できるのです。

世界上普遍存在的两种人生:“制度牛马”人生与“制度草料”人生

——认识人生,全球制度演化下的共生困境与解脱之道 引言:全球性制度陷阱与两类人生的普遍性 无论是北美、欧洲、非洲、拉美,还是中东和亚洲其他地区,社会中普遍存在两种被制度设计塑造的人生模式:公务员的“制度牛马”人生和大众的“制度草料”人生。这两种人生模式虽看似分离,却是现代制度机器中不可或缺的两大齿轮,共同驱动着国家和社会的运转,也共同承受着制度深层次的操控和压迫。 只有从全球视野切入,揭示这两种人生的共性与差异,才能更深刻理解现代制度文明的困局,并探索破解之道。 一、公务员“制度牛马”人生:全球执行者的夹缝生存 1. 跨地域共性:权力有限责任重 2. 角色矛盾:忠诚与人格被压制 公务员被要求严格执行上级政策,却缺乏足够的决策权和人格尊重,成为制度中的“可替代燃料”,随时面临被清洗的风险。 二、大众“制度草料”人生:全球被消耗的社会主体 1. 经济剥削与社会边缘化普遍存在 2. 意识形态与信息操控的全球现象 大众在碎片化媒体环境中被情绪化引导,缺乏对制度深层次问题的认知,情绪易被操控,成为制度安抚和运转的“顺从燃料”。 三、拒绝对立:跨文化理解下的共生现实 四、全球视角的制度再设计:走向公正与尊严 结语:认知共生,携手解脱制度束缚 公务员的“制度牛马”人生和大众的“制度草料”人生,既是现代全球制度文明的普遍现象,也是一种制度共生的困境。只有跨越文化差异,认知彼此处境,共同反思和改造制度设计,全球社会才能走出误解和对立,实现真正的公正、尊严与幸福。
