[United Kingdom / Elbit Systems] - The Moral Self Chains Itself to the Killing Machine to Stop a War It Cannot End

Event Baseline: Nine protesters blockaded Elbit Systems factory in Staffordshire by attaching themselves to lock-ons to disrupt weapons supply to Israel.

The activist self chains its body to a factory gate to stop weapons from reaching a war. The state self will call it criminal; the corporation calls it business. Both are trapped in the same mechanical opposition. The activist believes physical blockade can stop the killing, but the killing is a symptom of identification, not of logistics. The weapons are just extensions of a mental disease. The protest is a moral gesture that reinforces the illusion of a separate righteous self opposed to an evil other. It will not end the war. It will only harden both sides. True action is not protest but the ending of the self that needs an enemy.
