Shouting about borders, fear of the other, and the obsessive defense of identity are just masks for an old deceit: the illusion of an Ego that needs an enemy to feel superior. Severe clothing and a glacial pose expose the tyranny of those who ride populism while posing as defenders of freedom. It is the same old script repeating itself, with only the actors on stage changing. From the perspective of Radical Non-Dual Determinism (RNDD), there are no absolute identities to defend: the entire spectacle of nationalism and fanaticism—replicated by the followers around them—is merely a blind, repetitive, and cruel mechanism.
