One of the great Satanic tricks of our times is to strip the Qat’iyyah of Dalaalah and Thubut, for those texts that do have them and just confuse them with Thann. In such a situation it boils down to everything becoming Thanni in Dalaalah and Thubut – then one can discuss and argue with authority or without authority on any Islamic subject, because (in this paradigm) nothing is ever established as being outside the fold of Islam, and everything is turned into an endless array of texts, views or speculations. But it really doesn’t matter in this paradigm anyway, because the concepts of Certainty and Probability of Texts and their Significations has been deemed obsolete and irrelevant.

A general comment: Note that scientific, economic, and technological innovations can and do have large demographic and geopolitical consequences, some good and some bad, some intended and some unintended. We know of social media and the internet, but also older things like the car and the democratization of transportation can be considered as well.

Trying to make everything about fluid identities is a path towards civilizational destruction. Those nations with more hard-set rules will ride out the tempest and become top powers, as the others slide into oblivion.

A general observation: As an interesting reality, it is quite possible for an Empire to become such without even knowing, a reluctant superpower of sorts, since there is no ‘ceremony’ to mark their cultural, geopolitical, and military rise, or some awards trophy night, etc. This is part of the fluidity that permeates geopolitics.

An observation: There is the issue of feeling close to people living in our own times, yet used diabolically to designate those who are not supposedly in favor of “progress” as being too far away from us, or not being like us at all. This is a paradoxical attitude of sorts, to be honest, and it gives rise to all sorts of irrational fears and hatreds against other peoples.

One paradox of liberal democracy/secularism is its constant unhappiness with the status quo, its urge to modify and even uproot the current models in order to try new experiments of large-scale social change. This is obviously not sustainable at all, yet it is said this is what one should be looking forward to within one’s nation and around the world.

We see that the economic system, say post 1970’s, has entered into an insane cycle of money creation for its own sake. So we can make the analogy with moral codes and ethics, and see how a lack of rules is leading to disaster.

An observation: The white supremacists are often more in favor of pagan Nordic-religion and pre-Christian religions than Christianity itself, since this is for them a more concentrated manifestation of whiteness.

A point to consider: If people are meant to be atomized free peoples, why is national identity and consciousness such a charged subject for many, something where insults are taken very seriously, often legally punished in many nation-states? (Something to be seen in relation to those who claim that Islam takes itself “too seriously” and wrongly punishes for insults and blasphemy).

There are various institutions used to project and entrench national consciousness such as love for the army, the educational system, and mass media – and in an analogous way, hatred for the opponents is engendered through these institutions.
