Western moral superiority in theory and praxis
The West presents itself as the highest moral stage of civilization. It speaks in the language of human rights, dignity, restraint, and universal values. Moreover, it exports this language through diplomacy, media, academia, and international institutions. Therefore, moral superiority does not remain an internal belief. It becomes a global standard against which other societies are…

The world before WW3
The world does not enter global war suddenly. It drifts toward it. Tensions accumulate. Alliances shift. Economic systems strain under pressure. Therefore, to understand a potential World War III, one must analyze the current structure of power. This includes states, capital flows, institutions, and informal networks. War does not emerge from chaos. It emerges from…

The evolutionary psychology of corruption
Corruption does not begin in institutions. It begins in human nature. People often treat it as a failure of laws, culture, or governance. However, these explanations remain incomplete. Corruption emerges from behavioral tendencies that once improved survival and reproduction. Therefore, to understand corruption, one must start with biology. Only then can one understand why it…

When you meet 1930s Nazi antisemitism now
You enter a discussion expecting conflict. Because politics creates disagreement, this feels normal. Therefore, when you replied to that post, you expected a rational exchange. You made your position clear. First, you separated criticism from prejudice. Then, you accepted criticism of lobbying and foreign policy.

If WW3 erupted, what does it mean for LGBTQI?

Therefore, the question is not whether LGBTQI people will be affected. The real question is how deeply their position in society will shift when…

However, this conflict often conceals alignment. Both groups operate within the same system. Both depend on access, resources, and networks. Consequently, the real question does not concern who fights harder.…

The worst thing: Journalists are “normally moral”
Journalists present themselves as neutral observers. They claim balance, responsibility, and distance from power. However, this image does not describe reality. Instead, it describes a role they must perform in order to function. In practice, journalism filters reality. It selects which facts matter and which connections deserve attention. Therefore, the key problem does not lie…

Why are Brits enraged at “presence”?
Public anger in the United Kingdom does not come from one event. Instead, it builds over time. People feel it in daily life, in conversations, and especially online. Therefore, what looks irrational often follows a structure. It is not chaos. It is accumulation. Crime: The starting point Crime acts as the initial trigger. Not statistics,…

My deepest disappointment with the 4 horsemen of New Atheism
I once believed the success of Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, Christopher Hitchens, and Daniel Dennett proved something uplifting. I thought it showed that intelligence, clarity, and courage were enough. I thought anyone could have made it. In fact, I believed there were thousands of more talented people than they were, people sharper, deeper, and more…

Monarchies brutally oppressed people, now they are celebrities
At first sight, monarchy looks harmless today. You see ceremonies, weddings, uniforms, and polished speeches. You see smiling figures waving to crowds. However, this image hides a radical transformation. Monarchies once ruled with absolute power. They controlled life, death, land, and law. Today, many of them exist as symbols, brands, and celebrities. This shift raises…
