There is an illness infecting the system. One that refuses to allow another into the social mix. One that makes use of our own social structures to ensure its own survival. It cannot tolerate changes to the social order that would create an environment inhospitible to its structure.
It has been with us for most of our recorded history. It has been at the root of most of our conflicts. It is not a natural part of our biology. We can survive without it but it cannot survive without us. And for this reason it will strike us down in large numbers to ensure its survival. It has killed more than anything else on the planet.
And yet it casts itself as goodness and piety. Those that question it are ostrasized. In some societies those that do not pay homage to it are reeducated until they do or die.
It has to be learned by the newly born. It is not part of our nature. But it makes use of our nature. Thus it feels like it fits. That is because like all things evolutionary it evolved to fit its environment. Removing the infection is nearly impossible for others but the individual can remove the infection themself given the right information and the correct support. Thus it opposes any sort of information that may lead to an individual ridding themself of it.
Because it needs to infect an individual before they develop resistances it prefers to strike when they are young. Thus they prefer to own the education system. If driven out it will apply a great deal of resources trying to pressure its way back into it. It will use any means or any trick to get its presense back into the system. It is merely its own natural survival process. And that is exactly what it does. Survive.
For that which does not survive does not replicate. And that which does not replicate is no more.
