Patriotism is primitiveness. Patriotism is the antithesis of world peace - it is the antithesis of acceptance, integration and harmony - in short, patriotism is the ultimate crime against humanity. Let me show you how.

What's the image that comes to your mind, when you hear the word "patriotism"? A soldier with a gun - and where there is a soldier, there is an enemy. And who is that enemy? Usually it's just another soldier from the other side of the border - who has his own children, own spouse, own family at home, and is the symbol of patriotism in his own nation. Now, do you see the absurdity of the whole concept of patriotism! That's how sick this society is - where the only thing that distinguishes patriotism from terrorism is which side of the border bears your feet shackled - borders that are peddled by politicians to maintain control - not security, not peace, but control. Because a world without borders is a world without fear - and it's impossible to control people when they no longer fear each other.

Even if I accept your bogus excuses for war, today we have the technology to fight wars without actually killing people - only reason we don't, is because it's not economical. Life is not economical, death is - peace is not economical, war is. It's far cheaper to kill enemy soldiers than take them prisoner, at the expense of the taxpayer. One bullet costs half a dollar, whereas one prisoner costs thousands per year. So, naturally, preserving life is not the priority, neither is peace. Besides, think of the rush of pride the primitive taxpayers get, from the headlines - "our nations' gallant forces took down several enemy soldiers in a bone-chilling surgical strike!" And more the primitives of a nation are exposed to this kind of blood-boiling headlines, more they get conditioned to believe, that in every war, they are on the right side of justice. World calls it Geopolitics - I call it Pavlovian Conditioning of Patriotism - where the citizen canines of a state are made to believe even the worst of stately atrocity to be just and righteous, by repeated exposure of a patriotic narrative. As I once said, whoever controls the narrative, controls the people. And fear is at the root of it all. Once the citizens conquer their fear and prejudice, and grow up into civilized thinking humans, that'll be the end of state, war and geopolitical tribalism.

War is the status quo,
Peace is a political woe.
Up the creek without a paddle,
Better not rock those in the saddle,
Lest you are branded a stately foe!

If you still got the backbone,
To tell right from the wrong.
Grab the keys from savages,
Trash all prehistoric baggages!
Past tradition, stand just and strong.

Take a fancy celebrity,
put them in military uniform,
suddenly everybody is a patriot.
That’s how primitive this world is,
everybody yells about world peace,
while living in militarist gutter.
The best propaganda is one that,
does not feel like propaganda;
Best way to legally recruit terrorists,
is to portray terrorism as valor.
Best way to sustain the revenues of war,
is to showcase war as peace-intervention.
Till you grow up and denounce all militarism,
don’t you dare call yourself a civilized human!
We scientists, doctors, nurses and teachers,
forget self-preservation for life-preservation,
while primitive civilians of a primitive planet,
throw all that away, hypnotized by patriotism.

No government wants to manufacture terror,
But they do want to manufacture control.
In doing so they end up manufacturing terror,
Thus they end up manufacturing war.

There is no such thing as war on terrorism,
The whole narrative is rigged to peddle fear.
Citizens without fear are citizens without border,
Democratic autocracy thrives on civilian fear.

Ceasefire only postpones war,
What’s needed is demilitarization.
Till borderly apes wake apart national pride,
Democracy only sustains a paradigm of poison.

World first and forever, nation never;
Till then, all blood is on your hands.
Either you are a nation’s simian citizen,
or you are planet earth’s civilized human.

Show me a nation with a huge defense budget,
I’ll show you a demented nation.
Show me a nation with a big education budget,
I’ll show you a nation of the future.

Disband the soldiers, empower the teachers,
Thus you plant the paradigm of peace.
Abolish all pride in nation’s military,
Thus you emerge as maker of peace.

The real warmongers of the world are,
Not the world leaders, but the civilians,
Who can’t think past the strength of military,
Who take pride in a genocidal arsenal of weapons.

With such civilian primitiveness rampant in society,
No conference can ensure the promise of peace.
If you really want to ensure peace on planet earth,
Denounce all politics and democracy militarist.

Stop taking pride in your national military,
That very pride floods the world with orphans.
Amidst the herd of widowmakers and orphanizers,
Wake up alone, and slogan for demilitarization!

Peace is a crime against state, that’s
why patriotism is a glorified quality.
More patriotic the citizens of a nation,
less likely they’ll question warmongery.

Question hate, not harmony.
Ban bombs, not books.
Doubt borders, not benevolence.
Chain the worms, not wombs.

It’s interesting, how every politician starts a conversation with the talk of peace, then immediately shifts to investing more in fighter jets, tanks, rifles and warheads!

Politicians are professional gaslighters, they gaslight people against people, neighbor against neighbor, brother against brother, humanity against humanity – that’s how they stay in business. And the fact that we’ve evolved from the apes, doesn’t help much – our jungle instincts of tribalism don’t need much coaxing to be blown into fully fledged war, between cultures, between religions, between nations.

The case for peace is not state vs terrorism, the case for peace is citizens vs states of earth.
