The umbrella of life must have all its ribs

In the hope Europe still may have some souls who are honest, humble, and willing to accept their real position in the world ‘NOW’ and give credit to nations that have reemerged despite Europe’s colonial loot and atrocities.

1] Unless and until nations accept their historical wrongs, address the root cause of the problem embedded in petrified mindsets, and continue to use their sponsored media [BBC] narratives, history will teach very harsh lessons. 

2] The West [meaning Europe] suffers from HOMOGENIZATION MANIA to impose something on everyone else to have control and HEGEMONIZE easily. Most ills of the globe are the manifestations of these attitudes with varying degrees of intensities.

3] If we confine ourselves to past few centuries, be it the Roman Empire’s greed to spread its tentacles [being a Roman in Rome]; Spanish Inquisition; Crusades, Nazism or colonialism, all these were absolutely

4] Inhumane [slave trade – West Africa], genocides [Jallianwala Bagh massacre], artificially created  famines [Bengal Famine],

5] Destructive [native cultures were annihilated and/or humiliated], and where these did not work,

6] They scrupulously created a sort of victim blaming, surreptitiously leading to Stockholm Syndrome and ensuring an internalized oppression mindset. and

7] Daylight robbery [looting from colonies].

8] The saturation point happened when the chaos took place within Europe; they converted even that into WORLD WARS, leading all peaceful geographies across the globe to participate.

9] When colonialism had to end, ‘the divide and rule' concept that they had nurtured came in handy to leave the colonies divided geographically, culturally, and religiously, creating newer identity-based nations.

10] Through this they ensured every prosperous big nation had to live perennially with a smaller inimical or troublesome neighbor.

11] Thus, they have successfully divided civilizations and cultures into fragmented identities.

 

12] History made them taste similar destruction inside Europe itself during the World Wars.

13] Even then, they felt the need to have a privileged club of international administrations, for which they created a multitude of international institutions that were more supranational in character but international when it came to monitoring as umpires, but these umpires were partial, and these institutions had their own selective club of privileged nations. 

14] They labelled political ideologies as Right & Left [with built-in structures like democracies, socialist democracies, etc., more for theoretical ideological discussions and debates and a hidden agenda to check Russia and China].

15] Fortunately, when humanity evolved from collective obsessions of invasions and wars, degrading patriotism into a real estate veneration enterprise, it started diverting its focus into ECONOMY—initially trade and commerce.

16] Again, Europe wanted to make labels and hence classified economies into politico-economic identity-based classifications such as Capitalism and/or Communism [again, to brand China and Russia as Communist nations and hence not business-friendly, though ironically, in economy, China has become the most successful Capitalistic nation].

17] When these labels reached their expiry date, they decided to start new institutionalized control over trade and commerce and started throwing into the socio-politico-economic arena a new terminology called "GLOBALIZATION" with its concomitant international institutions like WTO and policies like TRIPS.

18] So, where were all the concerns when a few wars or fiascos which merely ended up in unwanted destruction and delay of growth of many countries away from the European shores and in some of which Europe and their much-fancied international institutions were either active participants or tacit supporters or were in dead silence as if it was none of their concern or they could not do anything about it? It may be Vietnam, Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan etc.

19] So, when everything else fails, nature teaches when the troubles are near or at your shores along with your [Europe’s] media narratives and publicity-generated selective amnesia and collective indifference based on irresponsible activism, which, in the name of human rights [most ironic joke—coming from Europe], suddenly loves environmental protection—when it was your industrialization, not judging whether right or wrong, that spoiled the environment—then you migrated to a new label, global warming. Now all these multitudes of activisms with their selective concerns, used more as anti-national and anti-human projects in many countries, have been brought under a single name or nuisance called WOKESIM.

20] Europe must learn and accept with humility that only for scientific and administrative purposes UNIFORMITY and some universal measurement-based STANDARDIZATIONS are important and useful.

21] However, in every aspect or domain or vertical of life starting from religion to social engineering tools [political systems] to food to dress to the laws of the land to traditions to culture to arts to literature, VARIETY, DIFFERENCES, AND HETEROGENEITY WERE, ARE, AND WILL BE THERE EVERYWHERE AS PART OF NATURE, i.e., NATURE IS VARIETY AND VARIETY IS NATURAL.

22] Denying and defying reality cannot always work through trying to manipulate variety to 'discriminate' or selectively exaggerating certain existing discriminations as tools of victimhood peddling, and wedge divisions intentionally pitting one against another will haunt in the cycle of life.

23] Thankfully science could not deliver; otherwise, Europe would have made every mountain in Europe only snow-clad and every forest to have only a serried phalanx of pine trees and not any other tree.

24] The West, having destroyed many civilizations and cultures in various parts of the world, needs to learn how those civilizations and cultures naturally assimilated and cohabited in synergetic, lively happiness of mutual appreciation and reciprocal responsibilities—this is not to be confused with the Western idea of tolerance, though it is better to have one rather than none. Tolerance is a tunnel-vision-driven silo and hence a tiny slice of inhibition-free assimilation and synergetic accommodation.

25] The umbrella of life must have all its ribs—family, philosophy, culture, traditions, science, society, etc.—all together supporting the panel of life in its wholeness, with every individual shaft holding on to living safely under the panel.
