[Colombia / Cocaine-Funded Gangs] - The Stateless Self Breeds New Predators, Proving the Illusion of Peace Through Disarmament
Event Baseline: Powerful militias funded by cocaine are attacking civilians in Colombia eight years after a peace accord removed the FARC rebel group. The state has failed to fill the vacuum, leaving communities at the mercy of armed groups.
The peace pact was an illusion. Removing one armed self did not remove the underlying mechanical thought. The same identity-based violence continues because the state self is fragmented and incapable of providing order. The drug economy is the body's craving. The gangs are the self's armed extensions. The state's inaction proves that peace is not the absence of one enemy but the presence of an integrated mind. The illusion of a clean peace has created more chaos. The self cannot disarm because it is still fighting its own reflection.
