Fight Culture

   Fight culture is the [1]harmful, mostly western mindset of seeing any
   endeavor as a fight against something. Even such causes as aiming for
   establishment of [2]peace are seen as fighting the people who are against
   peace, which is [3]funny but also sad. Fight culture keeps, just by the
   constant repetition of the word fight (and similar ones such as combat,
   win etc.), a subconscious validation of violence as justified and
   necessary means for achieving any goal. Fight culture is to a great degree
   the culture of [4]capitalist society (of course not exclusively), the
   environment of extreme [5]competition and hostility. It fuels [6]war
   mentality, hostility, [7]fear culture (everyone is your enemy!), constant
   unrest leading to mental health deterioration, obsession with various
   kinds of protections against everything etc. Fight is a mechanism of the
   jungle, something a civilized society tries to distance itself from --
   sustaining the mechanisms of the jungle means we are only implementing
   cosmetic changes. It is ridiculous, our society is now one big fight:
   against global warming, unemployment, inflation, [8]unproductivity,
   traffic jams, hunger, too little hunger etc. Perhaps in a few years it
   won't even sound so weird to say you are fighting a road when you try to
   get from point A to point B or that you are fighting air when riding your
   bike.

   [9]We, of course, see fight culture as highly undesirable for a [10]good
   society as that needs to be based on peace, [11]love and
   [12]collaboration, not [13]competition. For this reasons we never say we
   "fight" anything (or even "win", we rather achieve goals), we rather aim
   for goals, look for solutions, educate and sometimes reject, avoid, refuse
   and oppose bad concepts (e.g. fight culture itself).

   Capitalist often say that "life is a fight". We say life is what you make
   it, and if for your life is a fight, it merely says you desire fight. We
   do not.

   How to stop engaging in fight culture? Adopt [14]defeatism. That frees
   you, accepting loss makes you no longer constrained to unethical behavior
   justified by the necessity to win, the capitalist argument "you have to do
   X or else you lose" suddenly stops being valid and you are free to behave
   morally, you no longer have to engage in a lot of [15]bullshit.
   [16]Capitalist culture is extremely hostile to defeatism because it knows
   that's the way out of it, a defeatist individual no longer works for
   capitalism, therefore capitalist propaganda spreads hatred of defeatism,
   and in extreme situations (e.g. war) makes it officially a crime! That's
   how you know it's the correct thing to do.
