You’re so right to point away from the rope and towards the machine.
That machine is built on captured political systems that turn alignment into war, captured legal systems that block accountability, captured media and platforms that control perception, and captured academia that produces the legitimacy it needs to function.
That capturing is driven by interlocking blocs. Israel, which requires persistent and permanent dispossession, displacement and genocide to secure a Jewish majority for its state and the state’s expansion. The defence industry, which depends on continuous conflict and arms supply. Financial institutions, which depend on war financing, debt and reconstruction cycles. Energy companies, which depend on control of resources, routes and pricing. Big Tech, which profits from the provision of surveillance, targeting and control over information.
