The real master of the world can only be the one who masters the interpretation of the world and the concepts used to interpret the world. Written by László Bogár.
Freedom, equality, fraternity - since this triple slogan was created during the French Revolution, it is appropriate to proclaim its glory worldwide with misty eyes. However, if we carefully look around in this world, we can see many things, but hardly freedom, equality, brotherhood, as we would hope. Of course, it is already puzzling that France fared relatively well even without the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, but as soon as it was declared, during the unleashed atrocities, the most basic human rights were never destroyed as brutally as right after that.
I realize that there is nothing apropos to this now, so there is no round anniversary, but somehow it would be worthwhile to ponder whether the concepts of this triple password still have any meaning.
Because if there is, then it should still be clarified why, after more than two centuries, we do not see any sign that the human world has come close to fulfilling the concepts of freedom, equality, fraternity (never defined anyway), even though liberal democracy and market economy , as the ruling ideologies of the world suggest.
If the answer is no, it never was, and even today these "made" metaconcepts do not have any real content, in fact they were "made" in the first place in order to make them "meaningless" in the strict sense of the word with their completely arbitrary use, or, even worse, they can be used as ideological weapons of mass destruction, referring to them as poisoned false concepts.
Although the question is legitimate, I feel that it is not possible to give a clear answer.
However, this should be reconsidered again and again, because it is now obvious to everyone that the real master of the world can only be the one who masters the interpretation of the world and the concepts used to explain the interpretation of the world. This is the main weapon today, and whoever wields it skillfully does not have to worry about the fact that the subjects of the world he rules might face reality and actually rebel against the subjection. And they don't have to worry, because if the system closes "seamlessly", then for the subjugated, there is only the "made" reality, which is produced for them by the media machine of the masters of the world.
So let's first see the three concepts, and then, in connection with their comparison, see if there is any logical connection between them at all, because the triple password suggests that they form an inseparable logical unit.
Perhaps there is no single concept that everyone celebrates as the absolute good, while having no meaning in itself. Indeed, the concept of freedom can only make sense if we also clarify its "sign", that is, whether it is freedom aimed at humbly serving the balance of the sacred order, or, on the contrary, freedom aimed at the complete abolition of this sacred order.
The answer to this question is essential if only because the French Revolution declared that it wanted to achieve freedom aimed at the brutally cruel destruction of the sacred order.
The liberalism of the 19th century was a bit more cautious and believed that "my freedom ends where I would collide with the freedom of others". This is more "concrete", but if we interpret it in this way, then in reality there is not and cannot be freedom, what we believe is nothing more than keeping each other in check.
Like MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction), i.e. the system of mutual deterrence in the world of nuclear weapons.
No matter how we try to avoid it, freedom is realized only if and only if a person tries to understand the essence of existence with gentleness, patience, and humility, and then tries to fit into the existence understood in this way.
But the logic of the interpretation of existence of westernized modernity and the organization of existence based on it completely go against this, i.e. the freedom it interprets, which is also included in this triple slogan, is the "freedom" of existence-destruction, which can be celebrated, but then there is no need to be surprised at the the horrors experienced by the world today, which are the logical consequences of everything.
The concept of equality is existentially false because the essence of human existence is an infinite spiritual hierarchy,
that is, the "holy rule" (which is the Hungarian translation of hierarchy). This hierarchy is eternal, worldly, "cast in time" powers will never be able to change it. Although they are not capable of change, they are, unfortunately, capable of continuous deformation and degeneration. The human world can experience freedom when everyone in this infinite spiritual hierarchy "sees" themselves and those below them, whom they help to understand their existence with paternal benevolence, while looking with childlike humility at those who are above them in this hierarchical order.
Let alone over him? Ask the mass individual, the global minimal self, with anger, because there is equality!
The global constructors of the concept of equality sit back satisfied, because the minimal self experiences what these constructors have built in it as a false identity as an essence identical to its absolute self.
Thus, "equality" is realized because the total domination of false narratives affects everyone "equally" and in a way that determines everything, and thus the circle closes.
After all this, perhaps we are not too surprised that the third concept, brotherhood, completes this destructive rule. Since freedom is the "freedom" of destroying order, equality is the "equalization" of the most primitive level of the "made" false interpretation of the world, after this what could "brotherhood" be other than the "equalization" of all forms of love with the earth.
