Ideological Hostility Towards the Self: How Humans Destroy Themselves in the Name of Belonging

The First Parasite in the Human Brain… and How Faith in Ideas Became a Weapon Against Consciousness and Life

By nolanPublished 8 months ago 3 min read

Wars and grudges began on an individual level, unstructured and chaotic. Gradually, the circle widened, attracting those with personality deficiencies caused by their upbringing.

It began as an unplanned impulse and was soon adopted by individuals suffering from internal deficiencies, using it as a tool to fill their psychological voids.

🧨 The Evolution of Aggressive Behavior Into an Organized Doctrine

From there, distorted and dysfunctional methods were used — methods that have extended into our present time in a more deliberate and developed form.

It becomes obvious that such approaches — aggression and hatred — reflect the psychological stagnation of individuals whose mental and emotional growth has halted.

This style, once chaotic, has since shaped global political and war histories. It’s the hidden engine behind how societies were transformed.

🏛️ Religion as a Tool of Control and Division

This is solid evidence that religions, at their root, are political ideologies designed to expand the sphere of hatred and alienation among people.

Entire communities have fallen into the grip of this ideological distortion that has plagued humanity across generations.

🧱 Unnatural Divisions Among Humans

From such ideologies, others have emerged — multiplying the rifts between individuals and nations, creating differences so absurd they contradict our natural, instinctive human design.

These differences are adopted in ideologically conditioned societies where generations have been raised under the influence of dogma.

The result: a type of deviation, unnatural and inconsistent with the inherent analytical and sensory faculties of human beings.

⚠️ Why Is It So Hard to Break Free?

This is often why hatred arises in the face of disagreement — because the foundation itself is already corrupted.

The challenge of escaping these ideologies lies in the absence of alternative truths.

If one seeks to abandon all inherited ideologies, how can one even begin to think clearly without a religious, intellectual, or scientific framework to rely on?

🔚 The Beginning of the End: Recognizing the Deformation

This is what I consider the beginning of the end of all ideological distortions that have turned people into passive followers, serving the interests of a few throughout history.

Each group claims to offer solutions to its followers — yet what is said is often far from what actually happens on the ground.

This is a reality universally acknowledged and rarely denied.

👩‍🦰 Women: The First and Last Victims of Ideology

And we must not forget the central point of all ideologies — the cornerstone of pre- and post-ideological existence: women.

Women have been treated through the centuries in ways that can only be described as savage and inhumane.

Even today, despite growing awareness and activism, discrimination and contempt toward women remain widespread in personal and social settings.

🟣 Feminism: The Natural Result of Accumulated Injustice

What undeniably confirms this injustice is the rise of movements defending women, from feminism to all its historical precedents and successors.

Such terminology and movements only emerged because of a fundamental flaw that caused injustice and suffering.

And this issue persists today in many forms — a lingering mark of ideological oppression.

✨ The Power of Mental Reset

Through a temporary detachment from all thoughts, emotions, and beliefs, I was finally able to observe, analyze, and understand the roots of this destructive pattern.

This process felt like a full reset — returning my brain to its core function: the extraordinary and natural ability to analyze the main structures of everything in life without exception.

That’s when I realized this potential exists in every conscious being with a brain capable of thought and reflection.

It was never the absence of truth, but the noise of ideology that had long veiled our ability to see it.

🔍 Conclusion: The Painful Legacy of Ideology

This is the true legacy of ideology: a distorted mind, a sick society, and a deceived awareness.

Until we free ourselves from the first parasite in our minds, true development and true awareness will remain impossible.

    You make some thought-provoking points. It's interesting how you say wars start on an individual level and then grow. I've seen that in small conflicts at work that escalate. And the idea that religions can be tools of control is eye-opening. But how do we break free from these distorted ideologies if there are no easy alternative truths? It seems like a really tough nut to crack.
