For many years now, I have thought of moral bankruptcy as being a key factor in the state of affairs that is #Lebanon... Moral bankruptcy, hand in hand with financial bankruptcy & sociopolitical bankruptcy.
But today I realize I may have been misunderstanding

1/8

the whole affair all this time.
What we have at play is not moral bankruptcy, but crude moral corruption & depravity.
It is not that there are no morals, but rather that there is a conscious & deliberate violation of all things moral

2/8

to the point of celebration & glorification of said violation!
The depth of moral depravity is truly astounding, if one but dare look.
Deliberate humiliation, deliberate subjugation, deliberate celebration of both, deliberate violation of sacrosanct human rights

3/8

dignity & liberty, deliberate attack on life & livelihood, deliberate glorification of the corrupt, the killers, the thieves, the thugs, the warlords, the most vile & malicious that this 'society' has managed to produce.. regular & persistent displays of adoration

4/8

& deification of the worst possible type of human beings, blood stained beasts clad in suits raised up as the idols of past, present, & future..!

None of that is mere moral bankruptcy, but a conscious & deliberate act of moral corruption & depravity

5/8

in which a considerable many seem to gleefully participate.
Yes, I must today admit: it is not merely a top-down spew of depravity, but alas it is also a bottom up conscious scaffolding for the depraved.. a corrupted bacchanalia celebrating the violation of moral virtues

6/8

playing out across the fields of tragic death masquerading as life in the light of righteousness & honor, all while snickering behind the thinnest of veils of hypocrisy.

I still believe, strongly so, that the revellers in the streets are victims, enculturated & primed

7/8

to celebrate corruption, vice, & thuggery. But though victims they may be, they are nonetheless not so unwitting in their victimhood, & seem rather willing participants in this national moral debauchery, cheering on & celebrating the horrid displays of moral depravity...
