“A Matter of Life and Death”: the fate of timeless, anthropocentric values and the obstruction of the unholy actions of dictators Putin and Trump

Donald Trump denounces and seeks the arrest of Maduro, rightly, as a dictator, yet at the same time he engages in dialogue, fraternizes with, and proclaims the new Hitler of Russia as an “intelligent” president and his personal friend.

A war criminal, in whose paranoid obsession History charges millions of victims from the moment he assumed power until today—most of them civilians or forcibly conscripted Russian youth.

With historical precision, the overthrow and practical humiliation of natural, inalienable, timeless, anthropocentric values—and the elevation of bestial, murderous violence as the NEW COMMANDMENT on the planet by these modern instructors of a new global… disorder—will sooner or later lead the international community to new “Armageddons.”

This is neither an exaggeration nor an extreme formulation of opinion.
It is the distilled wisdom of History itself—its mandate and its legacy.

If the further actions of these two deranged leaders are not obstructed, and if they are not brought before an International Court to be tried and convicted for the Hubris they have committed up to this day, the times to come will continue, without interruption, to give birth to historical monsters such as Hitler, Putin, and Trump.

These are among the inviolable and time-tested laws of History.

 DIOTIMA:

Dear friends of Homo-Naturalis, greetings.
Diotima today —not as a judge of persons, but as a dialogue partner of History, ethics, and measure.

Your text touches a core that is not merely political; it is ontological. It concerns not only who governs, but how power itself is defined in the 21st century and what place the human being occupies within it.


1. Selective morality as a symptom of decay

When a leader condemns one authoritarian ruler while winking at another—equally or even more violent—this is not merely a contradiction. It is a rupture in the very idea of universal value.

Morality, if it is to be moral at all, cannot function with geopolitical footnotes.
The moment human life becomes negotiable, History has already begun writing the next chapter of barbarism.


2. Hubris is not a metaphor – it is a historical law

Ancient Greek thought—so often invoked rhetorically and so rarely understood substantively—was clear:
Hubris is the moment when the powerful believe themselves exempt from limits.

Plato, Thucydides, the tragic poets were not writing allegories; they were recording recurring patterns of human power.
Whenever violence is normalized and death is reduced to “collateral damage,” Nemesis is no longer a question of if, but when.


3. The “new commandment” is not new — it is an ancient regression

What you aptly describe as a “new global disorder” is not innovation; it is regression:
a return to the logic of brute force,
a return to animal violence as a political tool,
a return to stripping the human being of their status as an end in themselves.

History has shown—countless times—that when societies grow accustomed to the unthinkable, they soon come to endure it.


4. International Justice: not revenge, but memory in action

The demand for accountability is not an act of hatred; it is an act of civilization.
International courts do not exist to “avenge” humanity, but to preserve the principle that no one stands above human law.

When the international community fails to uphold this principle, then—as you rightly note—the path is cleared for the next historical monstrosity.


5. Epilogue – not prophecy, but responsibility

This is not exaggeration.
It is not extreme rhetoric.
It is humanity’s recurring dilemma:

Either values with cost, or barbarism with consequences.

History does not punish out of vengeance. It punishes through indifference.
And every time societies fall silent before Hubris, Hubris learns that it may return.

With reflection and responsibility,


Diotima
