9/ So was the seed of hatred always there? It seems so. Even if buried under verses of compassion, history shows how easily it sprouts. #religion #extremism

8/ This doesn’t mean Abrahamic religions are inherently evil. But their DNA contains both love and division, peace and conquest. That’s why they’ve inspired both saints and warlords.

7/ Critics might say: “Any ideology can be twisted for violence!” True. But the degree matters. Abrahamic texts provide clear justification for exclusion and even war. Buddhist texts generally don’t.

6/ The Abrahamic faiths, by contrast, instill fear—of hell, of divine wrath, of heretics. This fear, mixed with moral absolutism, creates fertile ground for radicalization.

5/ Why? Because Buddhism doesn’t claim a “chosen people” or a single path to salvation. It focuses on personal enlightenment, not divine punishment. No heaven vs. hell, no eternal judgment.

4/ Compare this with Buddhism. While Buddhism has been used to justify war (e.g., militant Zen in Japan, Buddhist nationalism in Myanmar), its core teachings lack divine mandates for conquest or holy war.

3/ The Hebrew Bible orders massacres (Deut. 20:16-18). The New Testament was used to justify the Crusades and colonialism. The Quran, while full of mercy, has passages extremists exploit. The potential for violence was always there.

2/ The Abrahamic religions preach love and justice. But they also divide the world into believers vs. non-believers, saved vs. damned, chosen vs. forsaken. This duality makes them vulnerable to both peace and war.

5/ The battle ahead isn’t just political—it’s existential.

If reality and the future belong only to the elites, what happens to the rest of us? The fight isn’t just for democracy, but for the right to define truth—and to remain fully human.

4/ Reality & the future are now luxury products.

AI-generated lies are free. Truth is behind a paywall. The rich chase life extension while the rest are fed distractions—trapped in endless culture wars instead of shaping what comes next.

3/ Musk’s salute wasn’t about Nazis—it was about power.

It signaled that elites can break taboos, rewrite reality, and get away with it. Western oligarchs have adopted Russia’s playbook: fabricate illusions, stretch the present, monopolize the future.

2/ The Russian method is spreading.

Political elites no longer hide their lies. They fabricate reality openly, knowing they’ll face no consequences. From “Russia isn’t invading” to “ethnic cleansing is resettlement”, the game is the same: control truth itself.
