There is a theory which holds that "the surge in far-right support, in otherwise moderate countries such as Sweden, is a one-time response to current events – especially to the surge in migrants and refugee claimants who entered Europe in 2015 and 2016 amid the Syrian civil war." Doug Saunders writes in The Globe and Mail.
You might see the surge in media articles on racism and the need to be "woke" as blaming white people too easily, or the feminist voices on sexual harassment in the work place as portraying men as scheming predators.
Whichever side you are on, it feels like the "other" is killing us. And the "other" IS killing us. But the "other" is not the one who is usually blamed.
The "other" does not appear in public as a particular race or gender or even a personality type. This "other" is the anthro-hyena.
The anthro-hyena appears to be human, talks, walks and dresses like a human but has developed into a creature who is beyond the sentiment and emotion of the human. Neither is it a wild hyena who mates, hunts and lives on the African plains.
The anthro-hyena has a particular set of skills and an obsession to scheme and control social systems. His/her aim is dark manipulation and this will destroy all life on our planet unless we identify the activity as a singular threat.
Human culture has identified the evil "other" through stories, religious doctrine and psycho-analysis. Labels such as psychopath, the devil, satan, criminal, enemy or killer - have been well used to identify evil activity, but the anthro-hyena is much smarter and less noticeable than those we identify as threats to a functioning society.
The anthro-hyena is not the richest king , CEO, Prime Minister or President because he works behind the scene, advising, scheming and lobbying. Once identified she or he might be classified as psychopathic, rich or successful but the nature that makes her so dangerous is her ability to move around and influence institutions so as to bring about their destruction while appearing to be essential to the institution.
The anthro-hyena comes in all genders, races and classes. They adopt the language and persona of whatever group they choose to work in. They appear to represent us, whoever we are and wherever we might be. They learn the skills and discipline of the profession they adopt. But that is just their platform.
The anthro-hyena will not be the troll stalking the comment section or the killer stalking the street - the anthro-hyena will be organizing, coaching and manipulating others to do that. The devastation of society will be a strategy that links all elements so that (1) the actors believe they are working on their own behalf, and (2) the action will seem human, natural, and caused by the politics that preceded them.
However the architects and designers of the event or string of events, are never recognized or named. They slip into and out of the corners like shadows in a nightmare.
The anthro-hyena doesn't plan a new movement, protest or political group. He/she feeds the conversation by adopting a fake persona and providing the "propaganda", the "ideology" and the "doctrine" to enable the followers to do the work of fronting the movement.
For example, the oil pipelines create division among different groups. The ones who believe we need the oil and the jobs and the ones who live, work, eat and drink the resources where the oil is to be shipped. It's easy to see why each side supports their argument, but the anthro-hyena is not interested in finding common ground or coming to a workable solution. The currency is inflaming the issue, making both sides appear ridiculous, angry and even violent. Hauling out stereotypes alienates us from the basic issue. Name calling, ridicule, fear and destruction is skillfully massaged.
The anthro-hyena also finds funding to do the work that he does not identify with. His or her name will not be shown with any movement for long. Once the destruction of social spirit has been achieved, he/she will have moved on to the next project.
Fascism and war are the products of the anthro-hyena's machinations. He/she has achieved his goal if a nation or continent dissolves into war, because the anthro-hyena has succeeded in redefining human identity, re-distributing our activity. The goal is not just to torture millions of people but to get humanity to forget who they are, to keep them confused and alienated from their better natures.
Capitalism has managed to do that as it moves from a simple exchange of goods to re-creating the world and all its inhabitants into a singular obsession - the gross domestic product. Living organisms flail and become lost when reduced to a singular goal or obsession.
Religion has managed that too after the anthro-hyena has inflamed the worst in human nature, so that the spirit is blinded by the imperative to control the masses.
The rule of law once separated from the care and concern of community becomes an instrument of oppression rather than justice. The silky tones of the anthro-hyena seduces us to agree to and be subdued by rhetoric and rant.
Medicine becomes poison when the goal is rendered down to the limits of profit. Science becomes a weapon when the only results we are interested in, are those that bring in money.
Money becomes a false god when it is worshipped blindly. Politics loses its essential drive when campaign funding is the arbiter of success.
This planet dies when people struggle under the doctrine of the anthro-hyena's persuasion that we cannot survive without fossil fuels.
Our only defence against the anthro-hyena is to revere life, protect the environment, sustain the oceans, keep the forests, protect the vulnerable and honour the fragile.
When the surge in far-right movements is the result of current events it's because we have been drowned in ideology that the other is killing us. That other might be the anthro-hyena not those driven from their home from starvation and land clearances. That other might be the ego in each of us that we dare not interrogate, dissociated from our family and the organic matter between our ears.
