KAHRAMANMARAŞ SCHOOL MASSACRE AND THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM
THIS IS NOT JUST A CRIME, IT IS THE RESULT OF ESCAPING FROM REALITY.
One of the biggest crises facing societies today is fake optimism that denies the dark side of human nature. In other words, political correctness. If this world collapses, I believe it will collapse because of this hypocritical attitude.
This disgusting hypocrisy and shamelessness is especially committed by the 'white' segment of society.
For years, people have been told this fairy tale in many areas:
'As long as you give love, everyone can be fixed.'
'Every problem can be solved with communication.'
'No one is evil, they are just misunderstood.'
'Setting boundaries is harshness.'
'Punishment is old-fashioned.'
No.
Real life is harsher.
Some people are born with significant levels of ruthlessness, sa**sm, manipulation, and a tendency to exploit others.
And society cannot protect itself by ignoring existing evil.
Throughout my 16-year career as a lawyer, and still today, I continue to see the same dark souls in police stations, courthouses, criminal courts, prison visits, case files, and in real life.
I have seen ruthlessness.
I have seen sa**sm.
I have seen manipulation.
I have seen lack of empathy.
I have seen characters who turn other people's lives into hell and then portray themselves as victims.
Today, instead of telling the truth, some circles use fashionable phrases. Chants for the stands, sterile slogans, statements that take no responsibility… this is either due to cowardice or calculated hypocrisy.
Yet raising a human being is not just about giving self-confidence.
It is about giving character.
It is about teaching boundaries.
It is about teaching empathy.
It is about instilling human values.
It is about teaching them to face the consequences.
Education systems, family understanding, and the legal order must be designed not only for the good side of human beings but also for the possibility of turning to evil.
Because the problem is not just the incidents at school.
Countless small evils that poison daily life, disrupt working life, ruin relationships, and oppress people are fed from the same source:
irresponsibility,
narcissism,
ruthlessness,
and impunity.
There is no healing without facing reality.
Love is not the solution for psychopathic characters. Abortion can be. Culling can be. Beating can be. The death penalty can be. Pouring lime on their grave can be.
This hypocritical, brainless optimism must be abandoned as soon as possible. Brave scientists must shout out the truths. These must then be transformed into education and justice policies.
Either barbarism or civilization!
