POLITICAL KILLING SEEKS TO DESTROY AN IDEA THAT NEGATES ONE'S CULTURE'S IDEAL
(Bearing the pain to embrace the truth)
FANATIC BELIEF:
(The nature of the belief is fungible)
•
Worship of one's own cultural ideal (“Allah” or “Germany”).
•
Killing those (infidels or Jews) who do worship one's culture's ideal.
The essence of political violence has nothing to do with evolution or biological survival.
Political violence revolves around devotion to an ideal--an abstract idea that constitutes the foundation of existence for a particular cultural entity.
What must be killed (or more accurately "killed off") is the idea that negates (or contradicts) the idea that constitutes the foundation of one's group.
