Who Speaks in the Name of History Ethics, War, and European Hypocrisy
"We are on the right side of History." This phrase is repeated by European elites as an absolute truth, but what lies beneath it? We analyze how the invocation of "History" is used today as a disciplinary mechanism, a tool for the selective application of international law, and a moral smokescreen for political failures. From Ukraine to Gaza, we examine the dangerous gap between lofty proclamations and raw reality.
🎭 Ethics as a Tool of Power
The Teleological Fallacy: History does not issue certificates of virtue in real-time. Why does the EU resort to the "cohesive myth" of moral superiority while lacking genuine geopolitical autonomy?
International Law à la carte: The revealing contradiction in the EU's stance toward Israel and Gaza. Why are principles considered non-negotiable for adversaries suddenly "negotiable" for allies?
The Shift of Responsibility: How the promise of "future vindication" absolves current leaders from accountability regarding inflation, militarization, and social erosion.
⚠️ The Dark Legacy of "Necessity"
Historical Parallels: The shocking similarity between today's rhetoric and the apologetic discourse of the 1930s and 40s. How past crimes were branded as "historical necessities" to avoid moral judgment in the present.
The Revision of Memory: The danger of attempting to relativize genocidal practices and transforming crimes into mere "geopolitical dilemmas."
🏛️ Conclusion: History as a Mirror, Not an Alibi
The question is not whether the EU is on the "right side," but whether it dares to stand on the side of consistency. When ethics are transformed into a tool of power, they cease to protect humanity and begin to protect the system. History may prove to be far less lenient with those who used its name to justify injustice.
