We see our enemies as evil because we want to, because we are certain that we can win any conflict and therefore when you are fighting Evil you don't have to consider the cost to yourself or others.
Wonderful essay. You used two words which perfectly sum up our current situation: "egotistical solipsism." It entails the devastation of cooperation capacity. It is where might makes right. This causes or worsens every other threat to human survival. It is why people invent nuclear weapons in the first place and then play "chicken" with them. The drive to dominate is an extraordinarily powerful psychological trait, and without mitigating cooperative structures and empathy, we will all lose.
I appreciate what you’re doing here because this is THE question of our age. Why are we led by psychopaths and sociopaths and go along for the ride? You are being far too kind by saying this is the result of messianic tendencies gone wrong and we just need to get real.
I wish it was this simple and sincere. Instead, what we have here is the manifestation of the Triad of Evil. These are people who are using a corrupt and broken system as a platform to lie to the masses for their own personal gain. The system attacks and fosters these types of pathological individuals and, given their nature, they are now in control. They are evil and specialize in exploiting it as a cover.
Given the fact that it’s both the system and those who run it that are responsible for the current state of affairs, and they have made our input irrelevant to their mission of inflicting this maximum amount of suffering and pain on the world because they take great pleasure in it, we have only one way out.
This is beautifully written and brave. Thank you for so eloquently exposing the irrationality and conceit of the “democratic” West’s warmongers.

To make it short and sweet, why not just say, the road to He** is filled with good intentions?
