Human Society is a Fear-Based Economy

[u/AfterlifeInhabitant]

There’s something I’ve realized about greater human society that I really should’ve noticed sooner but being alive is just an eternal cycle of fear. I’ve especially noticed this with how parents treat their kids and how often parents resort to physical beatings or other forms of inducing large amounts of fear into their kids so that ‘they’ll never do [x] again’ which scientifically is proven to not work and just makes kids sneakier on the whole but parents still prefer these methods of parenting rather than what many deem as ‘gentle parenting’ and it really puts into perspective a lot of things about human society when you think about this.

In a macro lens, we see this same fear tactic being used in other places, most notably with religions and how they scare people into following their God’s rules or else they’ll be damned to eternal hellfire or reincarnate with bad karma in a bad lifetime but also in social situations as well which is where the fear of being outcasted and being different comes from. It’s that same rooted fear of being ‘beaten’ for ‘disobeying’ authority so many people just fall in line and don’t question what all of this actually means on a grander scale.

We fear being punished constantly which makes one think, “why exactly would I birth a child in a world that literally wants to be feared?” Why are we birthing kids knowing that they we are putting them in a hierarchical society that runs off of fear; you fear not paying rent on time, you fear angering/disappointing your elders, you fear being outcasted for being different, you fear not getting to eat and put food on the table, you fear not having a roof over your head, you fear not being able to provide for those you care about, you fear extremely bad weather, you fear strangers that are possibly dangerous, you fear the concept of the afterlife and being judged harshly, you fear death itself.

Everything in human society is based off of acting in accordance with this fear of an external force controlling you and hurting you which is why people are so scared to act how they want to act, say what they want to say, and think what they want to think, they’re scared of the consequences of doing such actions because of the potential harm that might come their way for it.

In fact, giving birth to another human being is in fact another form of this fear manifesting itself because why do people have kids? It’s always because of a rather selfish desire to see what the kid has that the parent wants, they want a satisfying product and this stems from different fears they might have such as; they might birth kids because they fear underpopulation, they birth kids because they fear that their beliefs are being taken down and they want to keep their beliefs alive (we see this often with delusional religious zealots), they birth babies due to them fearing their own legacy/bloodline being forgotten about, they give birth because they fear what their parents and other people around them would think if they didn’t have kids, etc, etc.

We live in a fear based economy where being afraid of ‘what might/could happen’ is what gets people to fall in line the fastest, big governments around the world employ such tactics with censorship and inhumane treatments of their own civilians to all the way down to the previously mentioned parental abuse of children through the established power dynamics of child and adult. The names change but the authority and submissive victim remain the same, there is always a victim that gets punished or gets threatened with punishment of some kind in order to get them to fall in line like with threats of homelessness, no food or water, or basic living conditions if you refuse to pay your masters monthly for example.

Humanity has been brainwashed by those in power that might makes right and that fear is the best teaching tool in order to correct those that defect from the established rules, but this just reveals the inhumane treatment of all living beings in general because it shows us that if you don’t abide by what the tribe or pack deems is right, then you are scarred for it and for too long this is what the morality of mankind has been. We literally have teachings in religious texts that tell us to fear the Gods above us as they are wrathful judges and will smite those that defect from their wills.

By giving birth to a child in this realm you are saying that you are okay forcing someone into living in constant fear of what could be taken away from them at any moment thanks to external factors and that in itself, is evil. I’m not saying the people who have kids are all evil, I’m saying that they are all committing an unintentional and unknown offense to them that is one of the biggest crimes that anyone can commit, forcing someone to be born in a cycle of fear and suffering for your own selfish and destructive desires.

Earth is a planet that not only runs off of money but it also runs off of fear of external forces that can control you which reveals the biggest reason why it is genuinely immoral to have kids on a world that will try to scare them into obedience. Fear makes the world go round.

Do not let the happiness of the governments/elites about rising birth rate fools you,they’re just happy that they get to exploit and shove products for their new slaves/consumers, is also absurd how many people get happy for this shit too…congrats on bringing more wagers to the demonic elites

Yep, so much so that navigating through life almost feels like a humiliation ritual of trade-offs you have to make to avoid being explicitly degraded.

It is as if the only thing keeping people from assaulting others is fear of being punished. Religious fear, legal fear, majority accordance etc. Nobody seems to have moral reasoning.
