Double Suicide 2

The Most Radical Counter to Communal Illusion

The absolute limits of the structure of human illusion. Unless each of us thoroughly understands the awareness that communal illusion and individual illusion stand in opposition and the impossibility of the real, every ounce of kinetic energy will inevitably be captured and dissipated by the communal illusion deployed in every corner. People living in advanced nations that have experienced modernization are inevitably subject to the regulation of this illusionary structure, but the problem is that unlike a camouflaged false image spoken of as a materialized enemy, it is the mode of illusion itself and its existence is denied as something invisible. As a result, while the mode of illusion specific to the modern era remains ignored, the affirmation of practical action through the tinkering with established methodologies continues as always, which conversely means there is no other choice but to do so. However, as a cruel and cold fact, movements from this perspective have absolutely no meaning in a world that has experienced the modern. In other words, the modern means that the realization of a society or nation or world desired by the individual is impossible as a major premise.

One could take a sophistical attitude here and escape into the claim that such actions have meaning, but since that brings no result other than postponing the most serious debt for future generations, it is not the method to take. Rather, understanding the impossibility of an individual changing the community from the perspective of illusion seems to be of the utmost importance. If we do not do so, the inevitable conclusion is nothing other than violent revolution. However, even if a revolution is carried out through violence or non-violence, the ground itself remains untouched, so a concealment occurs where the appearance changes but the substance does not move an inch. We who suffer and gasp in this tremendous despair face the fact that the era known as the modern transcends human intelligence, and fighting at the same point as the present no longer holds any meaning.

On the other hand, regardless of the country, for those of us living in a society or world that has achieved modernization in the sense of advanced nations, there is a hint in historically reviewing the state of our native country before it entered modernization. At this time, most people confuse their motherland with bloodlines, but we must view the country of our birth and upbringing through the perspective of illusion. In other words, even if one can claim to be Japanese by blood born of Japanese parents, if one was born and raised in the United States, viewing Japan from the perspective of illusion becomes an error. The hint obtained in this review becomes the greatest weapon we must acquire to extinguish the modern. The principle is the same as when the Choshu and Satsuma domains, which engaged in direct combat with Western powers at the end of the Edo period, realized they could not confront them without possessing modern weaponry and command of military forces. We no longer need to possess things like nuclear weapons but are facing a time when we must hold weapons to extinguish the modern. Needless to say, because this is impossible to realize at the collective level, democratic methods will absolutely not function and will rather fall into a reaction, so this too should be thoroughly discarded. In the first place, we are surrounded by statesmen held captive by the magic of deterrence by nuclear weapons who only think of maintaining the system by setting up virtual enemies one after another. The fact that the day humanity unites is recalled is actually due to the visual effect of communal illusion. In other words, such a future will never be realized.
