Peace As Virtual War

A Brief Description Of A Sectarian Order That Could Be, Within The World That Will Be

Virtualizing Violence

The perpetual peace will not be a kumbaya song. It will be technologically mediated. Local groups will interlock with hyperstate conceptual identities in a fragmented world, with many different orders of priority.

In my text Hyperpsychology: Condensed Interventions, I describe a core idea as something without any essential guarantee which produces two mutually opposing sides. For instance, the idea of the Rangers/Celtic football/soccer rivalry does not refer to an essentially better side. Each side creates identity and meaning through the opposition of the other side. To not play football and to identify as one order would not stop the necessity to create meaning.

Freud posited the death drive, humanity’s tendency towards violence and fragmentation of unities. Hegel describes the necessity of mutual recognition as an overcoming of the Master-Slave dichotomy. Hyperpsychology describes the process of a pseudonatural curation. A hypermodern ethics is not the only ethics that will be in the world, but it could be represented by a sectarian order of artists, politicians, business men, who understand the purpose of technology is to establish virtual war while conserving peace technocratically.

The world is divided by divisions of labor within societies, and within both First-World Societies as well as Third-World Societies, it is painfully obvious that there is yet another world of division between economies. Currently the world works by creating sweatshop labor within the Third-World, where slum cities take hold. China thinks of Hong Kong as a special economic zone that allows for the Chinese Government to recapture capital processes from a top-down approach to other economic zones. I am suggesting that the entire world is mapped out into special economic zones.

A Hyperpsychology description does not have to be recognized as correct universally, it only has to connect to reality. It is scientific in the sense that it is not simply opinion, it is an operating guide for a sectarian order willing to operate via what is essentially simultaneously both a revolutionary and a conservative principle.

Hegel concludes his political philosophy book, The Philosophy of Right, with the Idea that only war can solve conflicts as each people needs to develop its own sense of interiority which can contradict other peoples’. States for Hegel will engage in real warfare with each other. What if, however, the universal order was not universally recognized, but only recognized within itself. The Hypermodern, Hyperpsychology order could focus on the creation of abundance for different peoples, both local and virtually connected via universals, in order for people to be living at a high living standard while still believing that they are engaged in a war against the evil oppressor.

Freud’s theory of death drive, as well as history itself, describes the necessity of humans to be engaged in a progressive revolutionary activity. In fact, people will continually break apart current orders in order to reformulate them for reasons which are unconscious to themselves, such as sex and power, and pure destructive impulse. What if, however, is it possible, that these impulses were sublimated not by a conscious mind into society, but by a sectarian Order who sublimated destructive impulses into things which did not manifest in violence?

The Sectarian Order

Perpetual peace is the real foundation to be shared by all of humanity. To define what is not peace, if there are populations which are starving, if there are populations going unhoused or in insufficient housing, this is not peace. There has to be a global standard of living which is raised to a base, minimum level for both Third-World and First-World peoples.

If the standard of living in a third-world country, then despite not being an active military war, we can call this immiseration. Immiseration is not peace. Thus, the Order of Perpetual Peace, guided by the Hyperpsychology principle that we are creating a pseudonatural environment which is designed to cultivate a specific real result, which is to say a standard level of living and an ideal attentiveness to the reduction of violence, is born.

The foundation of society will require different countries to develop justice processes primarily in order to maintain the base standard of living, which reduces both crime and war. Crime will happen within perpetual peace because individuals can and always will make the decision to commit violent acts. What is needed is a broad, Hyperpsychological net that moves all people towards the cessation of violence.

Currently, I like to support Jewish Israelis because the world wants to destroy them, and I believe Israel should exist; however, the standard of living for Gazans is clearly below baseline. In addition, there is in fact a problem of state violence attending to a class of citizens who would favor revolutionary violence, in the name of Islam, socialism, or general equality. To solve perpetual peace in the world, you first would have to solve the Israel-Palestine conflict, or as we call it in my household, Is-Pals (because of the wish, “they is pals,” in British chav dialect).

Ultimately, Israelis need to combat antisemitism and hatred against Jews virtually, and Palestinians need to combat Israel virtually. Meanwhile, a process of rebuilding Palestine, providing a basic standard of living, and ending the violence in the region needs to happen as a real process.

It has to be said that Israel and Palestine does not need to be universally recognized as solved; but rather, the real process of violence and economic immiseration has to be attended to. This can be done with a vast psychological operation which makes tensions virtual, and actually reduces physical violence, while providing a baseline living standard for Palestinians.

If that seems unthinkable, that is because it seems concretely impossible, but it in fact is not. If enough people on both sides joined a Sectarian Order of Perpetual Peace based on the necessity to provide economic foundations as well as an end to physical violence, knowing that the general population will still think they need to be at war and maybe even think they need revolutionary violence, the SOPP (Sectarian Order Perpetual Peace) will focus on concretely moving money from the special economic zone which is the actual world order, into providing these baseline necessities.

Thus, what it will appear like to the general population is a world at war, endlessly fragmented and hopeless. What the world will appear as to the sectarian, is something which needs cultivating, virtualizing, and concretely economically and politically attending to. The death drive will constantly demand violence and revolution, but an order devoted to peace can provide the psychological backdrop to sublimate these impulses into a sustained zone of an economic standard of living as well as a concrete negation of war between the inevitably fragmented peoples of the world.
In short, go Newcastle United Football Club, in perpetuity.

Not Evangelizing, Converting

The evangelicals have the idea of people being evangelized to their order. The Sectarian Order of Perpetual Peace does not need to evangelize people to its order. It can convert people in two different ways. The most common style of conversion is from real violence into virtual violence. A more rare conversion would be a conversion into the style of thinking which sees itself as above any particular conflict of people into the universal ordering of the world into societies which have a base standard of living and are not at war.

Each society will have to internally figure out crime, and there will not be a universal justice. However, the idea of universal justice will always be there. Societies will measure themselves against each other, and from within, societies will be critiqued on the basis of what is lacking in that society, or by what one society has and another does not.

All these discussions are only important to the Sectarian Order of Perpetual Peace as something which functions to provide a culture in which a base of civilization is created that allows for the cessation of war and the basic provision of necessities for peoples within each society.

Each society will have excess and transgress itself. This transgression, if it goes into the realm of negating basic standards of living or outright violence, will have to be converted into something in which the outright violence is eliminated. Propaganda to do so will not just be within social media, but within different real communities and organizations.

The Sectarian Order of Perpetual Peace itself will be subject to what a baseline of prosperity and non-violence consists of. The basic idea is that civilization is not something that is understood all at once, but a hyperobject, a hyperstate, something which is perpetually running in the background of all thought and is beyond all thinking of it. Civilization has to be cultivated and attended to.

England as a civilization has undergone cultivation for millennia, and people still reap the fruits within England’s thinking of itself as well as through the English language itself. New cultures such as America are founded on the ability of England to think about itself, even without any recognition of the necessity of England to make a place such as America impossible.

We are cultivators of the pseudonatural and the real. We use what already exists, and we think on the shoulders of giants, but with a specific goal: virtualizing violence or death drive, and providing a baseline of economic standards.

Anyone thinking with this order does not have to actually convert people to thinking of themselves as this Sectarian Order of Perpetual Peace, it only needs to convert their actions into ones which align with the goals of the sectarian order. A bit spooky certainly, but then again, so is death and violence and war and crime.
