Today's human society has maintained a generally peaceful era for over 70 years. Since World War II, there has not been another large-scale global conflict. To what or to whom do we owe this peace? Different factions might have entirely different answers. However, the world remains in disarray despite this overarching peace. Geopolitical and regional conflicts still lead to most of the active warfare; they just haven't spread to other areas.
This discussion isn’t about wars caused by religion or political camps. In today’s mainstream understanding around the world, it seems that such peace is taken for granted as the normative state. The inevitability of human civilization advancing is unquestionable. Various institutions, media outlets, and people naturally assume that this trend is an inevitable part of historical progress.
But if one truly delves deep into history, it becomes apparent that this peace is merely coincidental—similar to how life emerged on Earth and humans came to exist here. These events are extremely fortuitous circumstances which have led us to our current state; perhaps we might consider them gifts from God.
Over 100 years ago, before World War I, what was the world order like? The International Court had been established, but its rulings allowed creditor nations to use force to collect debts if a country defaulted. In 1902, Venezuela faced military intervention by Germany, Britain, and Italy due to its refusal to pay debts. At that time, Argentine Foreign Minister Luis María Drago pointed out that it was improper to use force to collect sovereign debt. His stance received strong support from the United States and led to the formation of the Drago-Porter Convention at the Second Hague Peace Conference in 1907. This convention prohibited the use of force for recovering contractual debts and prioritized arbitration as a method for resolving sovereign debt issues; however, using force remained a legal supplementary measure. This state continued until after World War II when the UN Charter came into effect prohibiting the use of force in debt collection.
The starting point of today's international order is post-World War I with the establishment of the League of Nations (LoN). Although designed within a treaty framework aiming at collective security concepts, LoN failed to prevent conflicts from occurring. Its ineffectiveness during World War II rendered it virtually defunct by war’s end. Following WWII’s conclusion spearheaded discussions among anti-fascist allies including USA , UK , Soviet Union about establishing United Nations replacing LoN . Brief cooperation between USA USSR eventually evolved into Cold War due severe ideological differences . To counteract perceived threats from Soviet Union NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) was formed embodying collective security agreements where members negotiate disputes collectively respond wars ensuring no member state would dare violate another under this alliance further promoting constitutional democratic systems among its members . Collapse Soviet bloc paved way for constitutional democracy becoming mainstream national development direction globally especially US benefiting systemically technology culture innovation became leading superpower under whose auspices world has enjoyed prolonged peace period .
This prolonged state of comfort has led almost everyone to believe that civilization is an inevitable condition, where terms like democracy, equality, and freedom are loosely thrown around in international affairs. Yet these seemingly beautiful words are exactly the kind of bait that demons relish. There's a frequent overemphasis on systems and democracy—believing that having these structures in place means everything will be perfectly fine and civilization can be easily achieved. Democracy, in fact, is a flawed system; without checks and balances, it often degenerates into mob rule. This was true in ancient Greece as well as during the Paris Commune. The Cultural Revolution in Communist China was an especially appalling example of bad governance.
Some might wonder how the Cultural Revolution could be considered democratic? Wasn't it though? Billions supported Mao Zedong and his party wholeheartedly; could there have been any political party or leader more popular than them? Even Hitler was democratically elected according to the system at the time.
Freedom and equality are concepts most people fail to understand correctly. Indulgence is not freedom; equalizing wealth does not equate to equality. Yet ordinary people only desire unrestrained indulgence—an anarchic form of liberty—and effortless equality which leads nowhere but chaos and disorder—the root causes behind long-term wars and famines across history.
Civilization often rebuilds itself from ruins while stability gradually returns worldwide. Wealth creation and comfortable living also breed power-hungry individuals who seek gains without effort—they worship privilege, obsess over it, possess it—constantly eroding basic societal order by encroaching on others' property rights or even their lives until order collapses once again.
This phenomenon isn’t unique to Communist China—it exists globally across all nations and ethnicities with differences primarily influenced by varying degrees of resistance provided by different beliefs.
Let's examine the so-called civilization that has emerged from what is known as the cradle of civilization. Apart from Greece and Hebrew roots, which took hold under extremely harsh conditions in England—a tiny land—civilization barely managed to develop due to natural maritime barriers that protected it from numerous barbaric and demonic invasions. It wasn't until the further inheritance and development by North American colonies that the United States of America was formed. The foundation of this nation was primarily based on Christian faith, allowing thirteen colonies to prudently establish a united country with restraint and equality, enabling the fruits of civilization to flourish.
If not for a treaty system led by America influencing parts of Europe with similar Greco-Hebrew traditions to establish comparable systems and institutions, there would be few nations that could truly be called civilized. The cultures, thoughts, and systems born out of other so-called ancient civilizations are almost entirely "Leviathan" style winner-takes-all scenarios where all beings are enslaved; wars and famines recur frequently with large-scale cycles of extinction being common.Countries such as Haiti and Liberia, which completely imitate the establishment of the United States, rely only on imitation of the system without the constraints of faith, and everyone can see what it looks like today. This fully refutes the absurdity of the "system theory".
Today’s world has allowed many people and nations to enjoy peace and the benefits of civilization. To consider this as an inevitable progression is both foolishly naive and shortsighted. Demons have never ceased their efforts in corrupting these foundational systems—like today's United Nations or International Courts! They have nearly turned into protective umbrellas for power manipulation, corruption among bureaucrats; infiltrated organizations becoming enemies' accomplices condemning Israel or issuing arrest warrants for its leaders—it’s madness within international organizations!
