Autobiographical Babylon - Mani De Bard

Date: 27/12/2022

One for the holidays. We temporarily set aside our anti-system feelings to celebrate holidays of consumption. Not just to party but to waste money on luxury. Afterwards, we set aside our anti-system feelings because we have to go back to work. To eventually set aside our anti-system feelings because we're going on a vacation. To eventually set aside our anti-system feelings because we just got back from a vacation and need to go back to our jobs again. 

This whole system is collectivized negative emotion. This whole system is loss of responsibility. This whole system is us. One of the most difficult things about the transition towards another society is the necessary critique on abrahamitic traditions which are destroying our planet through their greed and aggression. 

Our planet is valuable. Our lives are valuable. So is all life. But all life, except humans, gets excluded from the equation specifically because our society/societies are built on anthropocentric Abrahamitic (and ancient Greek) values. 

Babylon is our own creation.
