Evil Vs Incompetence - Is There A Difference ?

[Archive - Twitter thread, originally posted on Nov 18, 2021]

The topic for today: "Evil vs Incompetence - Is There a Difference ?" Here is an example. A country with 20 million people. A dictator or a tyrant comes around and with the help of his loyal party then brings great tragedy, pain and suffering on the population leading to ..

10 million deaths. On the opposite side you have a good and well-meaning people called the government, but their complete incompetence, in the same scenario, also leads to great tragedy, pain & suffering of the population leading to 10 million deaths. Now comes the question.

Do the good and well-meaning people in the government deserve the same fate and treatment which the evil tyrant does ? Is the stupidity same as evil if judged by the results ? What if good and smart people get fooled and are out to bring the great destruction upon ..

the society without being aware of that ? Do they deserve to be excused or executed for the crimes & destruction their actions & incompetence has caused ? Do the face and intentions of an evil dictator and well-meaning government officials mean anything at all in this case ?

What if stakes are even higher than the lives of millions of people ? What if we are talking billions ? What if we are throwing in there a choice between a society which upholds human rights, freedoms & civil liberties vs perpetual enslavement & endless servitude to The Party ?

The corruption and rot runs deep and people running the show simply pay no price for being wrong. This needs to change very soon or we are all doomed. Remember, in the past, failed rulers were replaced with new ones and often times not in peaceful way.

And what if the problem is so big & widespread that it simply cannot be handled & contained by laws, judiciary system, old & “civilized” ways of doing things ? What if our own species fate is at stake & the current direction will lead to mass deaths and genocide ?

Do the people still care about their kids & next generations of humans & the state of the world they wish for them to live & grow up in ? And what if there is no choice at all but one, that will allow to prevent large scale destruction & descent into enslavement and tyranny ?

What it would take for the people to realize & to do what needs to be done & put their lives and short-term safety & freedom on the line for the greater cause ? Are we really living in the age of sheeps & cowards for whom personal safety & convenience is all they care about ?

There will come a time when people will need to recognize the fact that there are more important things in this world than man-made laws we all, in times of peace and prosperity, abide by. Same goes for the obedience to authority & the government, their rules & decrees.

This needs to happen sooner rather than later. The longer people wait, the greater the pain, suffering & destruction will be. Death is inevitable & it is an intrinsic part of our existence, so instead of eternal fear of it, people need to accept or even embrace it and come ..

to a peace in their minds with that reality. Life is not a fairy tale or a Disney movie and yet some people pretend that it is or that this kind of utopia is possible to achieve or even worse, that this is something desirable which we should pursue.

The world we find ourselves in is a cruel place where both death and life, sadness and happiness, pain and pleasure, freedom and oppression, war and peace, joy and misery, resides. Our current situation stems from not understanding that reality and from being in a state of ..

imbalance with the world around us. There comes a time of great struggle when there is no one coming to save you, if you want to survive and preserve your life, property, standards of living & things you believe to be true, you need to fight for that with everything you got.

You need to find like-minded people who will join you in your pursuit of these goals. Remember, the enemy absolutely doesn't want a revolution of millions of strong, courageous & determined individuals willing to fight for freedom, for their inalienable rights and for truth.
