European Union - The Ordering Self Embraces the Suppressor, Sacrificing Human Dignity to the Idol of Migration Control
Event Baseline: The European Commission invited Taliban officials to Brussels to discuss migrant deportations, despite the Taliban regime's suppression of women and girls, including banning them from school.
The EU, in its mechanical drive to enforce border control, has opted to normalize a regime that actively crushes half its population. This is the ultimate corruption of values: the self, identifying with its fortress, will collaborate with any force that reinforces its illusion of security.
The division between 'us' and 'them' collapses when the internal logic demands the other become a partner. The belief in sovereignty overrides the awareness of shared human dignity. Thought has divided the world so thoroughly that it cannot see the monster it shakes hands with.
This proves that when a system prioritizes order over consciousness, it becomes indistinguishable from the authoritarianism it pretends to oppose. The virus of ideology has hollowed out the European ideal. The body politic will devour its own principles until no boundary remains.
