The Spectacle Of War

 


There is a war porn going on, it is a disgusting world, where the majority now inured get off the constant consumption of images and videos from war reporting and the sight of bloodied children is hyper-normalized. 
War is now so commonplace it is the new friendly football match. And the news media are to blame, 24 hours news inured the world completely.
Everything is so beautiful now with today's high end camera providing optics of what could almost be rivalry for art. So there is this orgasmic eke in the snapping of dead bodies, especially children and new media constantly printing picture of dead children on the arm of parents as the sate for a new fetish.
I stop watching the news when I saw the pattern, it's the same people picking dead bodies from rubble in Gaza they were lamenting but equally sating what felt like a vain glorification of the atrocities, almost as if they were deliberately getting themselves killed for cheap attention.
When you look at these images couldn't it be that there was a beauty to it, what was almost worrying could this guy's be deliberately looking nice, were they making war, conflict and pestilence look fashionable.
Something is going wrong in the heads and minds of people and I think the spectacle of war was becoming too alluring and I can't help but  feel other countries wanting a showcase of their own bloodied citizen in this new form of porn, Conflict resolution and peace seems boring as killing becomes the order of the day from Ukraine, Palestine, Nigeria, to Sudan.

There seems to be something going on when the news media keep updating and hyper-normalizing the dismemberment and killing of human beings, plus we have become desensitized to the loss of human life people rarely cry at funerals because they have become so used to it. And what one might imagine is what are we so eager to return to, that we couldn't find time to reflect on our dead and that is the work, whose end is invariably the sex.

We haven't had the time to evaluate what the constant imprecations of war images does to the psyche and the mind of the young ones and how we are losing our souls, turning to an indifferent population, completely out of touch with the world, selfish and unconcerned.
This is a wake up call for people to censor the 24 hour news desensitized the public with News of dearth every hour it's making us lose our humanity and hyper-normalization of what now is descend to the macabre form of porn.
the photo are at too right an angle, you wouldn't see images of mother's wailing but of Young people with their hair done right that feels as if war is now being used to sell sex or vice versa
I think even at the expense of genocide and calamity some injured photojournalist are concerned about the right aperture and winning an award to show how sick the world have become.


The spectacle of war and pornography of war images shores up the common sense that should drive the end to all these conflict sex driven as man tends to be, this needs to be checked and fast
it takes a sick mind to begin a what can be described as a spectacle of war and it feels as if the news outlet are in competition to deliver the most sexy, of the atrocities some countries might therefore compete to see who can deal the most carnage for news coverages. Every leader suddenly brave ego like an erect penis, common sense shorns up and the absence of peace and normal life becomes a normal thing.
We have to be careful, make time to psychologically  evaluate ourselves as their is this encroachment of the sex driven blood thirst gotten from the glorification of war and conflict that is becoming wide spread and quietly creeping to our doorsteps.
