Imagine there was a sect that called for the spread of cruel evil with impunity. Purely theoretically, because after all, evil alone cannot exist without a little good. Of course there is not, but this good is not to be found in the sect itself, but only in the people who rebel against its madness.

Caitlin Johnstone wrote an article on this very topic on Sunday. She created a YouTube video and presented this absurd vision in it.
Imagine there was a violent cult that used scriptures from an ancient religion to convince its followers to do evil things. Imagine the cult was given its own state. Imagine the cult was given machine guns, tanks and war planes. Imagine the cult obtained nuclear weapons. Imagine the cult started committing genocide against the indigenous people who’d been living in the area where the cult’s state was established.
Imagine the cult had huge branches in the most powerful nation on earth, and the powerful nation defended the cult no matter what it did. Imagine the cult flipped out and started relentlessly attacking and invading the surrounding nations. Imagine the cult had so much influence and support in western society that western governments and institutions would censor, silence, fire, marginalize and deport anyone who criticized the cult’s actions. Imagine the western media sympathized highly with the cult and spent the entire time framing its atrocities as entirely reasonable defensive actions, and framing critics of the cult as malicious bigots.
Imagine the cult kept getting crazier and crazier and more and more violent, but nobody could find a way to stop it because its actions were backed by this giant western power structure.
That’d suck, huh?
I think that’d be just about the most bat shit insane situation anyone could possibly imagine. A nuclear-armed death cult just murdering and massacring mountains of human beings with total impunity, backed by the most powerful people on earth? That would be an unfathomable madness.
If someone made a movie about such a thing I’d stop watching halfway through, because I would find it too unbelievable. I’d be like, come on man. Come up with a more realistic plot line. And come up with a more believable antagonist; nobody is that evil. I’d be like come on Hollywood, you seriously expect me to maintain my suspension of disbelief when you’re putting out a movie about these cartoonishly evil bad guys who blow up hospitals and assassinate journalists and murder humanitarian workers and deliberately massacre starving civilians seeking food?
I’d be like, you really expect me to believe a violent cult could get all this power and do all these evil things and get away with it, just by lying about it all the time? Eventually people would stop believing their lies! I’d be like, somebody would stop them. Not only does this movie have unbelievable antagonists, it also lacks any believable protagonists. Basic human decency would compel the world to stop all these atrocities being committed right out in the open. Where are the heroes in this story?
And then I’d storm out of the movie theater, glad to be outside that horrible fictional world where such freakish absurdities were taking place. And then I’d stand in the parking lot and look up at the sky, and thank God I’m back in reality again.
When I visited Tel Aviv in January 2020, I had the rare opportunity to be a guest in an Orthodox Jewish home. The hostess proudly showed me a bas-relief of the Third Temple hanging in the hallway. Not being familiar with the Jewish religion, I thought it was some kind of expression of Jewish worship and tradition, and it was.
One might think that the vision depicted was merely a fantasy, a vision from a horror movie that could never become reality. You can always think, and you should. Which I urge the lazy to do.
