Hypocrisy Of People

[Pessimist]

Society thrives on the master slave relationship of conquest, subjugation, control and domination of others through disposal.

This exists through forms of classism, exploitation, servitude, enslavement and control of other people on a wide social scale where isolation, alienation, mental trauma or desensitization is a consequence of such behavior.

It has always been this way through history and I doubt it will ever change.

Meanwhile through all this inequality and degradation we have somthing called ethics or morality which pronounces that all people must coincide to narrow definitions of what is seemingly called right in refraining from equally narrow definitions of what is call wrong.

Is this even realistic?

The paradox lies in the fact that past and present history revolves around inequality in the guise of the master slave relationship in which millions of people have to do things they don't want to do against their own will where simultaneously those in control tell it's citizens to obey or behave in being moral.

Is this not hypocrisy or at the very least a unrealistic perspective on life in general?

Those who describe people as moral agents are foolish to me and those who speak of equality in human events have to be some of the greatest liars I have ever known.

A great deal of people speak about the sacredness of human life all the while they partake in the collective of society which forces people do things everyday against their own will which rather naively they call human freedom.

I have many thoughts like these. I wonder how you see the "enslavement" by socienty though. Call it a second opinion. How do you see that happening?

[Pessimist]

My favorite irony upon talking about the hypocrisy of people or the inevitable inequality that follows is when people describe themselves as not partaking in any inequal activity.

Society thrives on the enslavement of individuals or by going against the will of others in order to prevail itself.

If you partake in society your partaking in inequality even if you do it unconsciously since everything in society is collectively interconnected.

One doesn't have to be conscious to partake in inequality infact many seemingly do it unconciously which ironically they believe themselves to be just humanitarians all at the same time.

( How that exactly works I do not know.)

Do you want me to explain the denial of said people, or the way people are lulled into such denial (psychological or political explanation)?

If as implied that morals are created and applied by the dominant class, its not hypocritical the people that make the rules can't really break them, they just make another set of rules for themselves.

Can you explain that a little more fully please?

It is summed up in an old addage, he who has the gold makes the rules.

So in otherwords he that can enforce control with guns, violence, and displays of power makes the rules.

That doesn't seem to do anything for morality or ethics and infact makes them even more unbelievable.

It is no wonder why there is so much violence, hate and rebellion in this world.

For a nihlist you are awfully romantic about "what should be"
