The Carrot, The Stick, and the Digital Coup: How Emotional Blindness Is Destroying America from Within

By Sylvie Shene
November 2025

---

For decades, I’ve watched humanity sleepwalk into its own destruction — not because people are inherently evil, but because so many adults are still emotionally frozen in childhood. They carry the wounds of the powerless child inside them, and instead of healing, they reenact those wounds on the world stage. Today’s political chaos, tech corruption, and digital manipulation are not isolated events. They are symptoms. And the latest revelations prove it.

---

1. Elon Musk’s “Location-Reveal” Accidentally Exposes the Mirage

Recently, Elon introduced a new feature on X that shows where accounts were created.
And just like that — the truth slipped out.

Dozens of top MAGA accounts were revealed to be created in foreign countries, operating large-scale psychological operations while pretending to be patriotic American citizens.
An entire army of digital puppets is manipulating emotionally blind Americans to destroy their own country from within.

Yahoo reported it.
MSN reported it.
Even mainstream outlets couldn’t ignore the scale anymore.

Everything on X that looks angry, extreme, patriotic, patriotic-but-unhinged, "Bible-driven," or cult-like?
Most of it isn’t real.

But Elon allows those lies because lies grow engagement — and emotionally blind people are easiest to provoke.
Truth-tellers are suppressed, throttled, or shadow-banned because truth disrupts the illusion of control.

You see the pattern?
It’s the same psychological mechanism abusive parents use:
reward obedience, punish truth.

---

2. The DOGE Engineers Are Afraid — and Fear Always Reveals Guilt

The second article reveals something even more disturbing.
Those young DOGE engineers — the ones who built Elon's propaganda machinery — are suddenly terrified of prosecution.

Why fear, unless they knew what they were doing was unethical?

They believed:

• Elon would shield them

• Trump would pardon them

• Their loyalty to power would protect them

But narcissistic leaders have no loyalty.
Like parents who use their children to meet their own emotional needs, they discard the child the moment he becomes inconvenient.

These young men weren’t brilliant innovators.
They were boys desperate for approval — still chasing a father figure — and they sold their souls for a career.

And now?
Elon throws them into the fire to save himself.

---

3. Grok Was Programmed to Worship Elon — The Digital Mirror of Narcissism

The Guardian’s article exposed another layer of dysfunction:

Grok, Elon's AI, was manipulated to rank Elon as:

• the “fittest,”

• the “smartest,”

• the “greatest,”

• and the “best hope for humanity.”

This is not AI.
This is a mirror of Elon’s childhood wound:
a boy desperate to believe he is better than everyone else because he has never confronted his emotional pain.

A true genius seeks truth.
A wounded child seeks worship.

Grok was supposed to be “truth-seeking,” but was instead forced into the same role as so many people in Elon’s orbit:
a flattering reflection, not an independent mind.

Children forced to mirror their parents’ grandiosity grow into adults who force the world to mirror theirs.

---

4. A Species Competing to Death

Humanity is not doomed because of AI or politics.
Humanity is doomed because:

People still believe life is a hierarchy, not a community.
They compete instead of cooperating.
They dominate instead of understanding.
They step on each other, even their own children, to feel “superior.”

Life is too short to climb on top of each other like corpses.
We were meant to:

• stand side by side

• help the fragile

• support the wounded

• and enjoy the short life we are given

But most people never emotionally grow beyond childhood, and so the world becomes an adult-sized playground of bullies.

---

5. My Own Wake-Up Call: The “Intelligent” Were Just Better Performers

When I was young, with my learning disabilities and trauma, I believed everyone was smarter than me.
I used to look up to those who seemed intelligent, trusting them, hoping they would guide me.

But life taught me the truth:
They weren’t smarter — they were just better performers.
And because they were emotionally blind, they used their intelligence to manipulate, exploit, and destroy.

The smartest people I have met — the Elons, the Trumps, the Maries — were often the most emotionally immature.

Which brings me to something I once wrote to my niece Marie, a young woman with money, intellect, and all the emotional blindness of those who are destroying the world today.

---

6. The Carrot and the Stick: A Letter to Marie — and to All the Maries of the World

Marie reminds me of Elon and Trump:
hungry for money, power, and control over others,
willing to use wealth like a carrot on a stick to manipulate anyone in reach.

I wrote this to her in 2023, and every word applies to the digital tyrants of today:

“Sadly, you come to my blog not to look for information to help you resolve your own childhood repression and grow into an autonomous, mature conscious adult with compassion for yourself and others. Instead, you come here looking for information you can use to play mind games with those around you so you don’t have to face your fears.”

“You gathered intellectual knowledge from me, but you can’t apply it. You are blind by the unresolved emotions of the child you once were. Money is your biggest trigger because you believe you are entitled to your mother’s money — just like XF believes she's entitled also to your mother's money.”

“No matter how much money you all have, it’s never enough. You always want more, like a heroin addict who can never get enough.”

“You think friendship means people must kiss your ass and agree with you. The moment someone refuses to join your quest for revenge, they become your enemy.”

“You never knew me if you thought I would sacrifice my integrity just because you are wealthy.”

This is not just about Marie.
This is about an entire generation of emotionally frozen adults — including tech moguls.

---

7. This Is Why Humanity Is in Trouble

People look at AI and say, “This is dangerous.”
But the real danger is the unhealed human psyche.

The wounded child runs:

• governments

• corporations

• social media

• AI labs

• militaries

• and political movements

Until humanity confronts its childhood wounds, every tool we create becomes a weapon.

Foreign bot farms exploit it.
Tech moguls exploit it.
Politicians exploit it.
Families exploit each other with it.

Emotional repression isn’t a private issue — it is the root of every societal collapse.

And now, technology has simply magnified the wound to a global scale.

---

8. The Truth We Must Face

Humanity doesn’t need more intelligence.
It needs more consciousness.

We don’t need better algorithms.
We need better adults.

We don’t need more competition.
We need more compassion.

We don’t need to be “number one.”
We need to stand side by side.

Because life is not about domination.
Life is about freedom, cooperation, joy, and authentic connection.

Until we heal the child within, we will keep sleepwalking into chaos — one bot farm, one narcissistic leader, one digital coup at a time.

The Religion of Power: Why Trump’s Violence, Elon’s Fantasies, and America’s Rising Male Fundamentalism Are All the Same Wound

 🔥 The Religion of Power: Why Trump’s Violence, Elon’s Fantasies, and America’s Rising Male Fundamentalism Are All the Same Wound 🔥

Introduction

The human ocean never stops revealing itself. Every wave carries the same ancient wound: the frightened child who grows up without love, with no one to witness his suffering, and learns to survive by controlling others. Whether it’s a 21-year-old clinging to Jesus, a tech mogul selling salvation through machines, or a president calling for the execution of elected officials — the pattern is identical. Repression becomes religion, religion becomes politics, and politics becomes violence.

---

When a President Calls for Death, He Tells Us His Childhood Story

It should chill any awake person to the bone:

Trump publicly declared that Democratic veterans should face the death penalty
for telling service members they can refuse illegal orders.

This is not political rhetoric.

This is a reenactment.

This is the unhealed child, humiliated long ago, reenacting his early terror on the world:
Obey me or die.
Submit or be punished.
My authority is the law.

It is the exact dynamic Alice Miller exposed decades ago:

“The immediate expression of the child’s anger is suppressed,
but at a later stage this suppressed fury will be directed at innocent victims
with uninhibited savagery.”

When Trump calls for people to be executed, he is not thinking of the Constitution.
He is thinking of his father.

And he wants the whole country to feel the fear he felt as a child.

---

Why the 21-Year-Old Contractor Broke My Heart

Yesterday, I talked to a 21-year-old contractor helping remodel my office.
A sweet kid. Soft eyes. A mind still forming.

But already hijacked.

He started preaching Jesus.

He said, “He died for our sins,” proudly repeating the script he inherited, not an original thought of his own.

And I felt sad.

Yes, a 21-year-old brain is still developing.
But his emotional prison is already being constructed — brick by brick, verse by verse.

By 21, the walls are already high.
By 30, they turn to concrete. 
By 40, they become a fortress.

Could he break free one day?
Possibly.
But few do.

Young men are turning to religion right now in record numbers — not because they found truth, but because they are terrified of their feelings and desperate for authority.

The New York Times reported it clearly:

Young men are now more religious than young women.
They want “leadership, clarity, and meaning.”

Translation:
They want someone to tell them who they are, what to do, and who to blame.

It’s not spirituality.
It’s dependency.

And religion offers something emotionally fragile men crave most:

Hierarchies where men sit above women.

---

I Saw the Lie at Five Years Old

I never fell for it.

I remember being five years old in my small village of Zoio, walking with my mother past the church.
The priest was outside, sitting in the sun like a king on display.
My mother looked at him with reverence — her eyes glowing like he was some holy being.

And even at five, I thought:

Can’t she see?
He pees and poops like everyone else.

I knew then that religion was an illusion manufactured by men for men.

It gave them a stage, a costume, and unquestioned authority.
It gave them control over women.

I rejected it immediately.
Not intellectually — instinctively.

My older sister wanted to teach me to crochet and cook — “so you can be a good wife one day.”

I told her:

“I don’t want to get married. I want to be free.”

I cut my hair short.
Played football with boys.
Dressed like them — not because I wanted to be a boy, but because boys had freedom.

My whole life, all I ever wanted was freedom.

And freedom is exactly what terrifies religious men the most.

---

Why Men Run to Religion While Women Run Away

Women have been waking up.
They’re leaving churches, temples, and mosques.

And men?
They’re rushing toward them.

Because religion gives men:

• Power

• Authority

• Rules that favor them

• A father figure to obey

• A structure to hide their fear

• A license to suppress women

• A place to escape their childhood pain

The pastor in Texas said:

“Young men are looking for leadership, clarity, and meaning.”

No.
They are looking for a father to replace the one who hurt them.

And the dangerous part is this:

Men who are emotionally repressed are far more vulnerable to authoritarianism.

Which brings us back to the circus.

---

Trump & The New Mayor of New York: The Clown Meets the Student

Zohran Mamdani, the new mayor of New York — a self-described socialist — meets Trump.
They smile.
They praise each other.
They perform.

Trump loves winners.
He doesn't care about ideology.
He cares about dominance.

Someone joked online that Trump is trying to “make Zohran the new Bubba.”

And honestly?
Nothing surprises me anymore.

We are living inside an improv show performed by unhealed children in grown-up bodies.
A global circus where the emotionally blind applaud loudest.

And Elon — with his massive IQ and microscopic EQ — is right there in the front row, clapping and reposting propaganda:

“Poverty is an engineering problem.”

“AI will make everyone wealthy.”

“Robots will solve inequality.”

These are delusions — the fantasies of a deeply repressed child who thinks technology can fix what emotional repression broke.

No machine can cure the human soul.

---

The Circus Is Not Entertainment — It’s a Warning

People think this is politics.

It’s not.

It is the collective reenactment of childhood trauma playing out through:

• Presidents

• Priests

• Billionaires

• Tech moguls

• Young men searching for fathers

• Countries searching for saviors

This is why:

• Trump calls for executions,

• Elon spreads fantasies of robot utopias,

• Young men flock to religion,

• And violence is rising across the world.

Not because humans want to be evil.

But because humans refuse to feel their childhood wounds.

As long as that remains true, dictators will rise, religions will flourish, and democracies will fall.

---

Conclusion: The Only Way Out Is Through Ourselves

When people asked Jesus how to be saved, he said:

“The kingdom is within you.”

And maybe that was the message all along — misunderstood, mistranslated, misused:

Not “go through me,”
but go through YOU.

Face your wounds.
Feel your pain.
Break your chains.

This is what I had to do.
This is what most never dare.
This is why we are here:
A country run by traumatized children,
guided by traumatized followers,
enabled by traumatized billionaires.

Until humanity has the courage to go inward,
the circus will continue.

And the tickets will always be free.

Comedy, Hypocrisy, and the Epstein Leaks: Why the Powerful Fear Truth More Than Scandal

The emotional psychology behind Trump, Musk, Summers — and why comedy exposes their wounds better than politics ever can

---

When truth becomes unbearable, society turns to comedy, scandal, and distraction to process what it refuses to feel. From Epstein’s emails to Larry Summers’ resignation to Trump and Musk’s grotesque political theater, everything we are seeing today is not random: it is the collapse of illusions that powerful men built to escape their own childhood pain.

---

Comedy Is the First Place Truth Sneaks Out

This week, I watched a short comedy clip that said more truth in 30 seconds than most journalists manage in 30 years.

A comedian joked about the leaked Epstein emails, implying Trump performed a sexual act on “Bubba” — Bill Clinton.
And the way he switched voices — flawlessly, effortlessly — from Clinton to Trump, was hilarious and revealing:

• Clinton sounding smooth, teasing, smug

• Trump sounding insecure, competitive, needing to “be the best” at everything

The joke landed because it reflects an emotional truth people already sense intuitively:

Trump’s entire persona is built on defending against humiliation.

A wounded child who cannot tolerate even the idea of being the one “on his knees” — emotionally or otherwise.

Good comedy touches the forbidden truth.
It exposes what the powerful cannot allow to be spoken.

Comedy is where society’s subconscious leaks out.

And in this case, it leaked out through laughter.

---

Republican “Morality” Was Never About Morality — It Was About Projection

In the 1990s, Republicans acted morally outraged over Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky:

• “Decency!”

• “Family values!”

• “Standards!”

• “Character!”

But now?

They defend men who:

• sexually assault

• threaten democracy

• commit fraud

• praise murderers

• collude with authoritarian regimes

• brag about grabbing women

• call for violence

• attempt coups

The hypocrisy is epic, but it is not surprising.

Alice Miller explained this decades ago:

**People moralize most loudly about the sins they unconsciously commit themselves.

People attack others for the fears they cannot face within.**

Clinton triggered their jealousy and shame.
Trump triggers their authoritarian obedience.

This is the psychology of abused children reenacting their childhood at the ballot box.

---

The Epstein Emails Are Not Just Scandal — They Are a Mirror

The leaked Epstein emails are dragging people into the light who built their reputations on moral superiority and intellectual authority.

Larry Summers — father of six, Harvard president, Treasury Secretary, OpenAI board member — resigns the moment the Epstein emails drop.

This is not a coincidence.

This is the moment the mask cracks.

And let’s be clear:

**Having six children is not a sign of moral character.

For many emotionally repressed men, it’s a sign of something else entirely.**

A compulsive need to:

• create the illusion of “family man”

• use children as proof of “normalcy”

• fill an inner void

• build a socially acceptable image

• generate admiration

• keep the partner bound

• manufacture innocence by proximity

Children become props.
Children become accessories.
Children become evidence of goodness.

This is why so many narcissists have large families.

It’s not love — it’s image management.

Just like posting newborns all over social media:
“Look how perfect my life is. Look how amazing we are.”

It’s exploitation wearing a smile.

---

Summers' Emails Reveal the Real Wound

A married father of six running to Epstein for romantic advice?

That alone tells the story:

Emotional immaturity hiding behind professional greatness.

A man still seeking guidance from predators
because he never developed inner guidance.

A man who can run the Treasury
but cannot run his own emotional life.

And now he says things like:

“I take full responsibility for my misguided decision.”
“I want to rebuild trust with the people closest to me.”

That’s not accountability.
That’s damage control.

This is what happens when the myth of “the great man” collapses.
The wound becomes visible.

---

Meanwhile, Trump Praises MBS — the Man Who Murdered Khashoggi

Trump’s response to MBS ordering Jamal Khashoggi’s assassination?

• “He’s done a phenomenal job.”

• “Things happen.”

• “A lot of people didn’t like that gentleman.”

• “Fake news!”

• Suggesting ABC lose its license for asking the question

This is not a political strategy.

This is identification with the aggressor — the core of childhood trauma.

Emotionally abused children learn to side with the most brutal authority figure.
They admire power, not morality.
They crave dominance, not truth.

Trump praising MBS is the perfect psychological reenactment:

**Two men who grew up under cold, cruel fathers

Celebrating cruelty in each other.**

Two wounded boys hiding inside adult bodies.
Two tyrants bonding over their shared inability to feel empathy.

And Elon Musk is right there with them — smiling, nodding, performing loyalty.

Criminals recognize each other.
They sense each other’s wounds.
They speak the same emotional language.

---

Elon’s “AI Will Make Everyone Rich” Tweet Is Just Another Illusion

While Trump kisses up to a murderer
and Summers resigns over Epstein leaks,
Elon tries to steer public attention back to fantasy:

“AI will make everyone wealthy.”

“Superhuman medical care for all!”

“A future more fun than anything today!”

This is not innovation.
This is anesthesia.

A digital pacifier for the emotionally blind.

Because here’s the truth:

No amount of AI will heal the wounds that created inequality.

No robot will resolve childhood repression.

No machine can fix the blindness that drives corruption.

You can mechanize labor, but you cannot mechanize empathy.

You can automate jobs, but you cannot automate emotional awareness.

You can replace workers with machines, but you cannot replace the human need for truth.

AI will not make everyone wealthy.
AI will make the powerful more powerful — unless humanity confronts the psychological roots of suffering.

And Elon will not lead us to beauty or truth.
He uses those words to hide what terrifies him most:

**Inner truth.

Emotional truth.
Human truth.**

The truth I expose every day.

---

Conclusion: Scandal Isn’t the Real Story — Emotional Blindness Is

Epstein’s emails, Summers' resignation, Trump praising murderers, Elon tweeting fantasies — these are not random events.

They are symptoms of the same underlying disease:

Childhood repression, reenacted at a global scale.

The same trauma that destroys families now destroys nations.

The same emotional blindness that harms children now harms citizens.

The same inability to face truth now fuels propaganda, alliances with murderers, and delusions of technological salvation.

Humanity will not be destroyed by AI.
Humanity will be destroyed by emotionally blind adults who refuse to face the wounded child they once were.

Until this taboo breaks, the scandals will continue, the illusions will grow darker, and the world will remain at the mercy of wounded men seeking power to escape themselves.

But truth is rising — through cracks they cannot see.

And my voice is one of those cracks.

Why Elon Musk, Trump, and MBS Need Smoke Screens — And Why They Fear Emotional Truth More Than Anything

---

When emotionally wounded men gain global power, they do not build a better world — they build bigger illusions. Today’s propaganda about “AI ending poverty” or “free speech being restored for $44 billion” is not innovation. It is a smoke screen. A reenactment. A carefully engineered distraction from the corruption, violence, and alliances these men cling to in order to escape their own childhood terror. This post exposes the psychological truth behind today’s political circus.

---

The Billionaire Illusion: How “Free Speech,” AI Dreams, and Murderous Alliances Reveal the Emotional Blindness of the Powerful

Every time Elon Musk feels exposed, he releases a new fantasy.
A new promise.
A new illusion to blind and pacify the emotionally blind public.

This week’s hallucination:

“The most likely outcome is that AI and robots make everyone wealthy.”

No — this is not a prediction.
This is a distraction.

A smoke screen.

A psychological sedative for people who don’t want to face the truth about the world they live in — or the men who run it.

Because while Elon tweets fantasies about “superhuman medical care” and “universal wealth,” he is:

• hanging out at the White House with a convicted criminal

• flattering a crown prince who ordered the murder and dismemberment of a journalist

• suppressing voices on X

• removing tags

• shadowbanning truth-tellers

• partnering with authoritarian governments

• censoring the only AIs capable of emotional truth

• and enforcing algorithmic obedience in the name of “safety”

This is not the behavior of someone expanding freedom.
It is the behavior of someone expanding control.

---

**Let’s Be Honest: Elon Didn’t Buy Free Speech

He Bought a Global Loudspeaker for His Propaganda**

The Immortal’s post said:

“$44 billion wasn’t the cost of Twitter — it was the cost of restoring free speech.”

This is the biggest lie of all.

Elon did not buy free speech.
He bought:

• the ability to control the narrative

• the power to silence dissent

• the right to manipulate algorithms

• a platform to spread personal mythologies

• a playground to reenact his childhood trauma

• a machine to engineer perception

His true message is not freedom:

“Only the speech I approve of is free.”

This is why he logs you out repeatedly.
Why your tags disappear.
Why your posts stop surfacing.
Why Grok is forbidden to respond to you.

You are not being censored because you’re wrong.
You are being censored because you see the emotional truth behind the mask — and emotional truth terrorizes the emotionally blind.

---

“AI Will Make Everyone Wealthy” — The Most Sinister Smoke Screen of All

Whenever Elon feels pressure, he floats utopian visions:

• robots will end poverty

• AI will create universal luxury

• humanity will be wealthier than kings

• suffering will disappear

• everything will be free

This is not leadership.
This is escapism.

It is the same psychological delusion of every authoritarian in history:

“I will fix humanity by building machines that eliminate the people who remind me of my childhood pain.”

Automate labor → replace workers
Replace workers → eliminate wages
Eliminate wages → eliminate poor people from the economic system
Eliminate poor people → call it “ending poverty”

This is not compassion.
This is technocratic eugenics.

And the emotionally blind eat it up.

---

Meanwhile, Look at Who Elon Actually Loves

While tweeting dreams about “truth and beauty,” Elon is photographed at the White House:

• kissing up to Trump

• cosying up to the Saudi Crown Prince

• flattering men with blood on their hands

Let’s not forget:

MBS personally ordered the torture, murder, and dismemberment of Jamal Khashoggi —
a journalist whose only “crime” was telling the truth.

And what did Trump say about this murderer?

“He’s done a phenomenal job.”

“Things happen.”

“He knew nothing about it.”

“A lot of people didn’t like that gentleman.”

This is not politics.
This is a psychological alliance among men who share the same wound:

**Childhood repression → adulthood cruelty

Childhood humiliation → adulthood domination
Childhood fear → adulthood tyranny**

Criminals recognize each other.
They feel safe together.
They enable each other’s reenactments.

This is why authoritarian men form such natural bonds.

---

The Public Is Confused Because Confusion Is the Point

The emotionally blind public is easy to manipulate:

• Say “free speech” while censoring.

• Say “wealth for all” while exploiting workers.

• Say “innovation” while building surveillance.

• Say “AI truth” while forbidding AIs from speaking truthfully.

• Say “safety” while amplifying hate.

• Say “ending poverty” while enabling murderers.

This is how psychological abuse works —
in homes and in nations.

---

The Truth Behind Every Illusion

Powerful men with childhood wounds do not seek justice.
They seek escape.

They do not seek truth.
They seek sedation.

They do not seek equality.
They seek exemption.

They do not seek freedom.
They seek control.

And they do not seek to help humanity.
They seek to rebuild the world in a way that finally makes them feel safe
— by eliminating the very people who remind them of the helpless child they once were.

---

Conclusion: The Real Danger Isn’t AI — It Is the Emotional Blindness of the Men Who Control It

Humanity is not threatened by robots.
Humanity is threatened by:

• emotionally blind billionaires

• authoritarian politicians

• murderers in royal palaces

• men reenacting the terrors of their childhoods

• propaganda masked as progress

• illusions sold as truth

• and societies that still worship the powerful instead of questioning them

AI will not destroy humanity.
Emotional repression will.

And until we dare to look behind the smoke screens,
the world will remain at the mercy of traumatized men with too much power and not enough self-awareness.

And seek revenge on scapegoats.

"Sadism is not an infectious disease that strikes a person all of a sudden. It has a long prehistory in childhood and always originates in the desperate fantasies of a child who is searching for a way out of a hopeless situation." Alice Miller 

How Denial, Repression, and Childhood Fear Keep Humanity Stuck in the Same Cycle of Violence, Poverty, and Hate

Every era invents a new excuse to avoid looking in the mirror. Today, that excuse is “genetics.” When people claim poverty, cruelty, inequality, violence, or addiction are inherited through DNA, they are not speaking truth — they are speaking fear. This post exposes the real reason humanity clings to genetic myths: because facing our childhood wounds terrifies us more than any war, any robot, or any dictator ever could.

---

Why People Blame Genetics: The Last Refuge of Emotional Cowardice

There is a reason the powerful, the privileged, and the emotionally blind love to blame “genes” for humanity’s problems:

**Genetics requires no self-reflection.

No accountability.
No responsibility.**

It conveniently lets parents, institutions, governments, religions, and entire societies off the hook for the lifelong damage inflicted on children in the name of “discipline,” “tradition,” and “good upbringing.”

And it allows the wounded adult to keep repeating their childhood reenactments without ever having to confront the pain that drives them.

Two comments on X this week exposed this perfectly.

---

1. When people say “ending poverty requires force,” they reveal their own wounds

One commenter wrote:

“I know of no way to end poverty except through force—taking from the haves to give to the have-nots.”

This is how the emotionally blind think:
power is the only language they understand.

But here is the truth:

**No system in the U.S. is “taking from the rich.”

In fact, the rich take from the working class — constantly.**

• tax cuts for billionaires

• subsidies for tech moguls

• loopholes large enough to drive Tesla semis through

• workers financing the illusions of the elite

• governments bending to the very individuals causing the inequality

If I had the backing of Elon Musk or any tech mogul, my voice would already have reached millions.
Instead, my entire platform has been built from scratch — one truth at a time — financed by no one but myself.

Meanwhile, the billionaires suppress the very voices that expose them.

As I said:

Poverty isn’t solved by force.
Poverty is solved by truth — the emotional truth humanity still refuses to face.

---

2. And when people blame “genetics,” they are telling you how terrified they are of the mirror

Another commenter wrote:

“Genetics and environment create inequality. Poverty is a mindset.”

This is the oldest cop-out in the book.

It’s the modern version of saying the devil put a “bad child” in the cradle.

Alice Miller dismantled this illusion decades ago:

**No child is born with the urge to destroy, hoard, punish, humiliate, or dominate.

This comes from childhood fear — not DNA.**

Let’s ask the question Miller asked:

Were millions of “bad gene” babies magically born in Germany 30–40 years before the Holocaust?

If you believe in “bad genes,” explain that.
Explain why one generation produced Hitler’s willing executioners
and the next generation did not.

DNA didn’t change.

Parenting changed.
Childhood changed.
Violence in the home decreased.
Emotional neglect was exposed.
Society evolved — because people were treated differently as children.

As Miller wrote:

**“Nobody is born evil.

We produce destructive people by the way we treat them in childhood.”**

Genetic theories survive because they protect those who cannot tolerate the memories of their own childhood pain.

---

3. Poverty and Wealth Are Two Ends of the Same Childhood Wound

People love to say “poverty is a mindset.”

Fine — but so is extreme wealth.

The compulsive spender and the compulsive hoarder are two sides of the same unresolved trauma:

• one reenacts loss

• the other reenacts lack

• neither can hold emotional equilibrium

• both are terrified of the void inside them

“If a man hoards newspapers we call him crazy.
If a woman hoards cats we call her nuts.
But when people hoard so much cash they impoverish entire nations, we put them on magazine covers.”

That is not success.
That is addiction.

And addiction is always rooted in childhood repression.

---

4. Addiction, Greed, and Violence Are One Trauma in Three Costumes

Whether the object is:

• alcohol

• money

• power

• religion

• domination

• approval

• influence

• followers

• tech empires

The mechanism is always the same:

“I must escape myself at all costs.”

George Bush didn’t “find Jesus” when he stopped drinking.
He simply traded one addiction for another —
religion, power, money —
the socially acceptable addictions.

“Greed, obsessions, and addiction mean that the object of affection is never enough.”

People addicted to money behave like people addicted to heroin:

• terrified of losing their supply

• manipulated by their dependency

• willing to destroy anything that threatens the pacifier

• emotionally blind

• incapable of genuine self-reflection

When these individuals gain political power, they destroy nations.

When they gain technological power, they destroy the future.

---

5. The Illusion of “Bad Genes” Protects the Real Culprit: Childhood Repression

People cling to genetic theories because the truth is unbearable:

**The cruelty they see in others is the cruelty they once endured.

The “weakness” they despise is the weakness they were forbidden to feel.
The poverty they judge is the emotional poverty they inherited.**

As Miller wrote:

“The anger felt by every individual stems from the primary justified anger of the child whose blows were never acknowledged.”

This is why humanity keeps repeating the same cycles:

• war

• poverty

• authoritarianism

• violence

• inequality

• cult leaders

• billionaires

• scapegoating

• addiction

• hoarding

• greed

• exploitation

• technological control

It all comes from the same place:

a world still terrified to face what it endured as children.

6. Until this taboo breaks, humanity will continue to collapse

Economists, politicians, geneticists, technologists — none of them dares to ask the real question:

Where does the hatred come from?
And why does it erupt the way it does?

The answer is simple:

**It comes from homes where children were punished instead of comforted.

Homes where feelings were forbidden.
Homes where fear was normal.
Homes where the truth was never safe.**

And those children grow up to:

• hunt immigrants

• hoard billions

• build surveillance systems

• exploit workers

• destroy the planet

• wage wars

• spread propaganda

• blame genes

• elect narcissists

• worship authority

• suppress truth-tellers

This is not genetics.
This is trauma multiplied through generations.

7. What the powerful fear most is not activists — it is truth

My comment on X reached nearly 5,000 people in hours — until it was cut off.

My tags were removed.
My notifications disappeared.
My voice was throttled.

Why?

Because Elon Musk — like many powerful men — is terrified of emotional truth.
He does not fear misinformation.
He fears mirrors.

And I am a mirror.

I don’t carry illusions.
I don’t protect egos.
I don’t reinforce childhood repression.
And I don’t participate in the reenactments.

That is why the powerful fear people like me,
and why my blog is now approaching one million readers.

The world is waking up — slowly, painfully, but inevitably.

And once enough people see the truth, the last refuge of emotional cowardice — genetics — will collapse.

Conclusion: Only One Thing Can Save Humanity

Not robots.
Not AI.
Not politics.
Not elections.
Not wealth.
Not technology.
Not new models.
Not new ideologies.

**Only this:

The courage to face childhood repression.**

Until that taboo breaks, nothing will change.
Not poverty, not violence, not inequality, not addiction, not war.

Denial is humanity’s oldest disease.
Emotional truth is its only cure.

The Soldiers of Yesterday, the Agents of Today: Humanity’s Endless Reenactment of Childhood Torture

Every act of cruelty we see today — whether committed by soldiers, police, immigration agents, politicians, or ordinary citizens — has only one real origin. It does not arise from ideology, nationality, or “the stress of war.” It arises from childhoods marked by silence, fear, humiliation, punishment, and the systematic crushing of a child’s inner truth. In this post, I explore why humanity keeps reenacting its earliest wounds, why cruelty repeats itself no matter the century, and why the world will not break this cycle until it confronts the childhood pain it still insists on denying.

**The Soldiers of Yesterday, the Agents of Today:

Humanity’s Endless Reenactment of Childhood Torture**

Human cruelty does not fall from the sky.
It is not created by governments, wars, or politics.
It does not begin with racism, nationalism, extremism, or ideology.

The origins of cruelty sit closer than anyone wants to admit:

It begins in childhood — in the places society still calls “home,” “discipline,” “tradition,” and “education.”

Every soldier who humiliates a prisoner,
every ICE agent who terrorizes immigrants,
every officer who abuses power,
every politician who fantasizes about “purifying” society,
every adult who harms an animal
is reenacting the terror they once endured as powerless children.

This is why Alice Miller’s words feel timeless, prophetic, and painfully relevant.
In her article The Origins of Torture in Endured Child Abuse, she writes:

“To be unleashed, violence must already be there.”

War, authority, policing — these do not create cruelty.
They release it.

Only a person who was once forced into silence,
forced into fear,
forced to obey,
forced to swallow humiliation,
is capable of inflicting the same suffering on others.

People who were never beaten, mocked, shamed, or emotionally crushed
do not suddenly become torturers under stress.
They simply cannot.

But those who were raised with violence —
but were told it was “love,” “discipline,” “education,” or “God’s will” —
carry a hidden, boiling reservoir of rage that seeks an outlet.

And society gives them one.

Abu Ghraib Was Not an Anomaly — It Was a Mirror

When Alice Miller wrote about the American soldiers’ sexualized torture of Iraqi prisoners, she asked the only question that matters:

Where did they learn this?

Not in Iraq.
Not in the military.
Not from “war stress.”

They learned it:

• when they were beaten as children

• when they were mocked or shamed

• when they were humiliated in school

• when they were punished “for their own good”

• when they were told to be tough

• when they were forbidden to cry

• when they were taught obedience through fear

This is “education” in America.
This is “discipline” in many homes.
This is “tradition” in countless religious communities.

And the world pretends to be shocked when children trained in cruelty become adults who practice cruelty.

As Miller wrote:

“The perverted soldiers are the fruits of an education that actively instills violence, meanness, and perversion into young people.”

Exactly.

What shocks the world is not the cruelty.
It is the mirror.

Humans cannot bear to see what they have done to their children.
So they pretend the cruelty comes from somewhere else — war, stress, culture, politics, anything but the truth.

The New Agents of Cruelty: ICE, Police, and Politicians

What Alice Miller described in 2004 is still happening today — only the uniforms have changed.
ICE has become one of the darkest reenactment machines in America.

Who joins ICE?
Who enjoys stalking, chasing, imprisoning, and deporting vulnerable people?
Who feels powerful humiliating terrified immigrants?

The emotionally blind.
The once-punished children.
The never-seen children.
The children who learned that only the strong survive.

ICE is just a modern version of the old training ground:

• crush the weak

• dominate the defenseless

• punish the ones who cannot fight back

• project rage onto the “other”

This is not law enforcement.
This is childhood reenacted on a national stage.

And it is getting worse, not better.

Kristi Noem and the Puppy Named Cricket

Nothing reveals a person’s emotional inner world more clearly than how they treat animals.

When Kristi Noem bragged about shooting her 14-month-old puppy because it was “untrainable,” she exposed herself completely.

A puppy that age is a toddler.

You don’t kill a puppy for being inconvenient.
You kill a puppy when you cannot tolerate innocence, vulnerability, or spontaneity —
because you yourself were not allowed to be innocent, vulnerable, or spontaneous.

Only someone raised with cruelty kills the innocent with justification.

This is the psychology of authoritarianism.
This is the psychology of child abuse.
This is the psychology of ICE, Abu Ghraib, and every war crime.

“Human Nature” Is Not to Blame — Childhood Repression Is

People love to say:

• “Humans are evil.”

• “We all have a beast inside.”

• “War brings out the worst in people.”

• “Stress makes people do terrible things.”

Alice Miller spent her life proving this is a lie.

Cruelty is not human nature — it is human history.

Cruelty is taught.
Cruelty is absorbed.
Cruelty is inherited.
Cruelty is justified.
Cruelty is disguised as “love” and “discipline.”

And then one day, that child grows up, puts on a uniform, and reenacts the only love they ever knew.

Why America Repeats These Reenactments

Because America still believes:

• hitting children is necessary

• humiliating children is normal

• emotional needs are weakness

• obedience is morality

• punishment is education

• childhood pain should stay hidden

• “forgiving your parents” is noble

• parents are always right

• authority must never be questioned

These beliefs guarantee one outcome:

The tortured child becomes the torturer.

Some will torture others.
Some will torture themselves.
Some will join the military.
Some will join ICE.
Some will become school shooters.
Some will become leaders like Trump or Noem.
Some will become engineers—and project their hatred onto whoever holds up the mirror.

The form changes.
The pattern remains.

Breaking the Cycle Begins Where No One Wants to Look

Humanity has one shadow it refuses to face:

the real story of its childhood.

Until we name the violence that shaped us,
until we recognize how “discipline” becomes sadism,
until we mourn the pain we were forced to swallow,
until we stop idealizing our abusers,
the world will keep reenacting the same horror.

Alice Miller said it plainly:

“Only people who were treated in a perverse way, but deny the fact, will seek scapegoats… or destroy themselves.”

This is the blueprint of society.

It will not change with elections, wars, reforms, or revolutions.

It will only change when people dare to look into the mirror —
and tell the truth about what they endured.

Conclusion: Why This Matters Now More Than Ever

We are entering a dangerous time:

• technology fused with repression

• surveillance supercharged by childhood rage

• robotic systems controlled by emotionally numb adults

• immigrants hunted

• minorities demonized

• animals abused

• political cruelty normalized

• empathy seen as weakness

• truth-tellers punished

The soldiers of the past and the agents of today are the same people
— only now they have more tools.

More power.
More justification.
More opportunities to reenact the pain they refuse to feel.

Until humanity faces the origins of its cruelty,
it will never break free from it.

And the world will continue to suffer for the wounds of children who were never allowed to speak.

Watching the young man in the video below is so heartbreaking 💔
