Side with the Wrong
The manifesto to put humanity, the earth, and community back at the center.
Let’s start from the origins, if we can even compare a miracle to such a vile event. What is happening today is merely the most visible part of a process that began many years ago: a slow and destructive modus operandi designed to create induced intolerance and inequality.
As taught in the most ancient political and military academies: DIVIDE ET IMPERA!
A divided people, fighting among themselves and riding the wave of social discrimination, is easier to enslave, render harmless, and distract from what truly has the power to build and live. The greatest move is mass distraction: the creation of a precise, punctual, and systematic machinery. On the 10th of every month, just like every paycheck that people try to bring home out of fear, hunger, and servitude — assuming there is still a home to return to.
Distraction lies in creating habits that require money to be maintained. Servitude lies in chasing reels, stories, and social media posts that showcase useless material and social standards, a virtually nonexistent status quo.
"We are facing an inherently dystopic world, where people own nothing but live paying to display; where the refrigerator is always empty, but the car is this year's model."
We are responsible for our own downfall: we have been weak, naive, and corrupted. For a long period, our heart stopped beating for what true love and wealth really are — like a shared smile, a meal eaten together, or cultivated land. Because if no human being wished to dominate another, there would be no need to possess: merely having would be enough to live in full abundance.
The economic system, as a great professor once stated, is an inhuman system built on the foundation of slavery and inequality. A human system, on the other hand, is built on barter, mutual respect, and the natural cycle of our planet.
Our planet is on the brink of collapse because humanity, out of greed and possession, has destroyed everything. We have plowed, farmed, and raised livestock far beyond what was necessary to live and thrive, and this is the outcome: a planet at its breaking point and the human species heading toward extinction.
With the timer now ringing, the question arises naturally: when were we supposed to wake up?
We woke up late. Only when hungry and dazed by the fumes of digital technology did we begin to glimpse the matrix behind catastrophic events — events necessary to keep us on the edge of constant fear and survival, preventing us from fully exploring what we are capable of experiencing: the harmony and beauty of unconditional love.
Rare, extremely rare these days: that selfless desire to give without receiving, to cultivate without harvesting, and to leave the fruits for others.
"Today we find ourselves with a fractured society living constantly on the razor's edge. People march to demand a raise, not to demand freedom!"
The freedom of not having to possess, the freedom of being able to live without having to purchase, that deep wealth found in being nobody. The utopia of returning to the origins, to that garden — the famous one of the great master. That garden which, at the mere thought, conveys the air of home, of warmth, of fertility. Oh, that garden!
Let us return to the origins of humanity, not to an inhuman evolution. Let us return to that warm, divine embrace that unites us all, to that sense of community behind a single plate of food.
Placing myself on the wrong side for thinking outside the system, outside society and the human matrix; on the wrong side that is lived from within the heart, from the soul — for whatever remains of it after the indiscriminate use of violence and distraction.
That wrong side which makes us free. Free to fly.
