So, I've been thinking a lot recently about forgiveness and our society. And what it really means.
And I've come to the conclusion: Forgiveness is dead.
In the West, progressive ideology, cancel culture and #MeToo have destroyed it. Its like this oozing cancer. These were the people shouting about Americans being imperialistic. Only instead of McDonalds in the Middle East, its their political values. Everywhere. In everything. This seething, boiling cancer, consuming creativity, art, people. Sterilizing, demonizing them. Waves of drug addicts, addicted to fucking dopamine who can no longer get high over legitimate grievances start making ones up and then begin to shut out reality, because reality won't let them shoot up effectively. Then all these people are locked in a room, screaming, dictating morality, hallucinating because they're high, seeing demons and Nazis everywhere. Nobody but their own kind is human to them. They become impossible to negotiate with. Its impossible to be forgiven. Unlike religion, there is no mechanism for penance. Once you are guilty, you are guilty for life.
Here, there is no God to forgive you, no church or mosque to go to. No authority to plead to. No saints to worship. No prayers to say. Not enough money in the world to tithe. Just a den of insane addicts holding court over you, forever. Reminding everyone of your sins, mostly imagined. And then, when you can't take enough, when its just too much and you kill yourself, a literal blood sacrifice, that is still not enough for their drug addled brains. They wanted more out of you before you die. They offer no signs of sympathy. Only more blood and pain and suffering from you.
They'll tear your corpse out from its coffin and parade it around in the streets, throwing it in a chair and shout accusations at it. They're horrifying people and the society they wish to create is equally horrifying. I guess that's why I'm very against Westernization or giving things to Western companies, where these people and their ideology are dominant. Give me 100 people, who don't believe in evolution. They at least believe in forgiveness. They believe in loving your enemy. I feel like these people, at least some, can go out and have a good time with the staunchest atheist imaginable, because in their heart they can love someone that rejects every one of his beliefs. Can you imagine the opposite? I didn't use to be this way. I hated the religious right. But even in their worst moments, their most heinous abuses of power, it never really occurred to me: they could forgive you. It was integral. Redemption was part of them. I hate anti-evolutionists. But they could forgive you. Maybe even be swayed. At the very least, they'd think of you as a human being who has just the wrong ideas on the world. Not these people. You are no longer a human being. You are a member of the alt-right, a Nazi, a misogynist, something lower than scum. Sure, some of the very religious will call you a devil, but those sorts are a very rare breed right now and more in line with genuine insanity than fundamentalism. Both ideologies are authoritarian and censorious. But only one right now has the power to censor. And the other, largely relegated to impotence, can't really do anything. But you look at them and think they can forgive the most heinous people alive. You look to the progressives, they can't even forgive a bad date.
The suicide of that game dev, this toxic progressive culture is really starting to get to me. Our culture is being ruled by dopamine addicts, as bad as heroin addicts. And our only recourse is expensive litigation or suicide. Neither of which will even begin to stem this cancer. I just don't know what will anymore. I've forgiven worse people. These people are opportunistic sociopaths. They will hold your sins over your head until you die. They will put your corpse on trial like they did to the pope.
There is nothing that you can say or do that can assuage them. If you bend the knee, it will never end for you. They will knock you down in the mud and make sure you stay there. The boot will be on your neck forever. Your friends will know about your crimes. Your employer will. Your family. They'll pin you there until you fucking drown. And once you do, they'll lament how you never really meant your apology. At how your dying was a shame because you were so guilty you took the cowards way out. They'll just so happen to forget it was their boot drowning you. Never letting you up for air. Then, they'll leave your corpse for your family to deal with, casually looking for the next person to drown, because their high is slipping, they need to find someone else. If they can't, they might pull you back out and parade you around for a few days until they can get a hit.
So, my fellow Kiwis. Atheists. Christians. Whatever. Never, ever apologize for anything you do to these sort of people. Own it. Because if you own it, they can't own you. They don't view you as human. You cannot reason with them. You cannot negotiate. And you can never, ever, apologize to them. Because their forgiveness is a trap, one from which you will never escape.
