On the Ground Where Ethics Were Trampled, How Does Humanity Survive?

We live in an age when morality has become the language of power. The Purge Revolution: The Civil Park is a record of staying human in a world where ethics have been stripped of meaning. As a witness to the corpse of morality, I couldn't just watch it rot. While people planned their holidays, the purge began. Property soared beyond reason. Police turned inquisitor. Special prosecutors served the throne and sent innocents to their deaths. The young gasped under taxes and spending, paying for promises that were never theirs. Corporations fled; jobs vanished; and in the void, the beasts fed. Even aboard a plane to Tokyo, the purge did not rest. The architects of a new constitution said, "The people will decide," yet their tone echoed old dictatorships. The law changed color like a chameleon to match the ruler, and judges matched it. Chinese money seeped into markets, dressed as local produce. In the alleys of Phnom Penh, Koreans were kidnapped while their government bowed to Beijing. Military drills were cut back, yet the same leaders shouted "sovereign defense."Political soldiers licked boots and were decorated for it. The press, too, played its part: when northern troops crossed the border, cameras turned away and new villains were minted-"extremists," "haters," "the far-right." I watched morality die, day by day. China grew bolder; Korean leaders knelt lower; citizens, losing freedom, bowed deeper. New fronts opened across the world. BRICS pressed the West, and Europe shifted again. The wind changed twice: Eastern Europe, once buried under communism, regained a kind of reason, while Western Europe drifted toward a soft socialism that numbs the mind. In South America, politics swung between rebellion and dependence, unsure which master to serve. When law falls into the hands of beasts, how long can human speech survive?That question runs through every page. The beasts wear the masks of nations and go on trampling what is left of conscience. At what point did we choose survival over what is right? The Purge Revolution takes the form of a political diary-a record of those who refused to become beasts. Its language is raw; it dissects the collapse of ethics without apology or despair. Yet beneath the cold sentences, one question will not die: What is a human being? How fragile is conscience? Can morality return to life? It does not console; it exposes. It walks over the remains of ethics and holds the last warmth left in man. When morality falls into the hands of power, the beasts wear the mask of man. Some still tried to tear that mask away. They were the last humans who refused to kneel.
