The Nature of Evil

[Cornfed]

In 1963 a political thinker named Hannah Arendt wrote a book called "The Banality of Evil" where she recounts the details of the trial of Adolf Eichmann, who was one of the main organisers of the holocaust. During his trial he showed little to no remorse for his actions, or any hatred at all for those who were judging him. He claimed he was simply "following orders". As such, Arendt claims in her thesis that he was motivated more by his political career than any kind of ideology. I would bet that the vast majority of nazis during this time would say the same thing that they were just following orders and didn't care about the Jews they killed one way or the other. They pressed the button simply because they were told to.

The evil of you recounting this stupid anti-German blood libel is very banal.

Good and evil are metaphysical realities and are an integral part of the cosmos.

Good actions and qualities are those which are conducive to the preservation and flourishing of life and serve to elevate rather than bring down. Good results in constructive order. It promotes health and harmony and provides opportunities for growth.

Evil actions and qualities are conversely those which prove to be detrimental to life or otherwise hinder or constrain its natural flourishing and serve to bring down and distort rather than elevate. Evil results in destructive chaos and disarray. It gives rise to degeneration and disharmony and makes impossible any kind of true positive development.

For example, healthy nutrition and appropriate forms of exercise are good actions because they promote a harmonious functioning of the body and therefore sustain life while eating unhealthy junk food and toxic chemical-laden food products, living a sedentary lifestyle and taking harmful drugs (including legal pharmaceutical drugs) are evil actions because they destroy health and thereby jeopardize life. The companies which promote these destructive things for their own profit are perpetrators of evil and have an evil nature. People who aid such companies are complicit in evil.

Modern society is immensely evil despite its banner of "progress". Through its excessive industrialism and morbid workaholism modern society reduces the majority of the population to machine-like units of economic productivity and undermines health, freedom and individuality in the process. Yet it disguises this evil with the outwardly good promise of prosperity since evil often masquerades as good. Then through their contaminated food products modern companies destroy the consumer's health and are responsible for all kinds of diseases and health disorders. Yet they lie and tell people that their products are nutritious and not harmful and absolve themselves of responsibility. Then when people get sick unscrupulous pharmaceutical corporations peddle harmful drugs which poison patients and result in addiction and even death. Yet we are told that these drugs are safe medicine and that they are to help the sick while the companies themselves profit greatly off of all of this suffering and death. Modern society is a destructive dystopia. It is evil because its institutions and practices result in chaos and degeneration.

Certain political movements are also fundamentally evil in their aims and effects. Take the "woke" movement for example. Despite its outward pretension to "progressivism", this movement only seeks to sew the seeds of conflict among different groups and thereby promote hatred and social disharmony, to demonize and alienate innocent outgroups, to incite the destruction of property and livelihoods, to glorify ugliness and anti-aesthetics, and to invert the natural order and promote the perversion of nature itself with its "deconstruction" of masculinity and femininity and its various non-binary identities. The social engineers who push these ideologies from the shadows are dark sinister souls who wish to wreak havoc upon society and destabilize it for their own nefarious agendas. The people who accept this stuff and become soldiers for the "cause" are hateful, demonic degenerates who are perverse themselves and vibrate at the lowest levels of consciousness. Make no mistake! These people are evil in the most literal sense of the word!

Certain postmodern "intellectuals" wish to convince us that there is no such thing as good and evil, that these things are just subjective human ideas. Indeed this kind of moral nihilism has become fashionable in certain ideological circles since the 20th century. But this way of thinking is nothing but a lie. It is a lie which is being pushed by psychopathic elites who would like nothing better than to desensitize normal people to their own evildoings and thereby have free rein to do whatever perverse acts they like with impunity. It is a lie which also appeals to the most degenerate elements of society for this very same reason. Through postmodernism the elite seeks to convince us that good doesn't exist. They do this so that their own evil can prevail.

Even some religions which claim to represent absolute good are in reality absolutely evil. Judeo-Christianity is evil because it is a cult which has historically demanded the destruction of animal life in the form of blood sacrifices and which has been a force of evil in the world. Its god Yahweh is a demonic demented psychopath who is hostile to life and human flourishing, much more like the Gnostic vision of the corrupt demiurge than the Christian vision of a loving and just father. Moreover, Judeo-Christian sects control their followers through fear and threats of judgment and eternal torment. They only serve to generate paranoia and negative energy and foment neuroses and psychological harm. Judeo-Christian religion is pure evil. It is the work of demonic entities. It is a product of the archons.

If you want to do good, work to promote health, harmony, solidarity and edification. Also work to expose and resist evil which results in destruction!
