There is no mystery in this matter. History has already shown us what follows when demons walk unopposed: civilizations reduced to ash, nations enslaved, monstrosities loosed upon a helpless world. Demons do not merely corrupt they ruin and annihilate. We once believed vigilance was enough; it was not. Their ruin is always carried out through the hands of men foolish enough to gaze into depths they had no right approaching, convinced they could master what has devoured civilizations before them. We know the nightmares of the world wars industrial slaughter on a scale no ancient tyrant could have conceived; ancient wars possessed savagery, but lacked the machinery to magnify their bloodshed. The threat of demons is not a metaphor, not theoretical nor symbolic. It is real, and every one of you understands the danger they represent. Some among you have looked into eyes touched by that corruption. We once believed ourselves safely insulated by modernity, but that illusion dies the moment we faced them. Across ages and continents, temples, churches, and mystery orders trained priests, monks, and oracles to confront and purify corruption. Do you imagine such rites endured for millennia merely as superstition? Were they elaborate deceptions or desperate attempts to shield humanity from horrors older than language? Here lies the difference: where the Samaritan seeks the good of others, the demon seeks only the gain of power, dominion, and the spoils of Earth. Yes, societies sometimes rely on empowered individuals there is nothing wrong with strength or the instinct for survival. But we all know where unrestrained power inevitably leads. You have heard stories of the world wars, but how many of you truly grasp their meaning? Even the butchery of Genghis Khan or the ritual sacrifices atop the pyramids of Mesoamerica pale beside the industrial, blood-soaked offerings of the modern age.
No power comes without a price. With every victory, they learned the cost. Forced-labor pits where the living were worked into the grave. Cities defiled, burned, and emptied, their ancient faiths and knowledge consumed by fire. Horrors performed on the living, the dead, and the things dragged back from between. Atrocities crafted by human hands, surpassing anything demons once whispered. Man-made terrors beyond the imagination of any earlier age were summoned into being. I still look upon history and shudder, for I see it beginning to repeat. In the end, we crushed every ragged remnant they hurled against us. Surrender was not in their blood

>>524174847It's a Christmas card, you tool. Make some friends and check the mail.
Are these demons in the room with you now?
>>524172083OP is wilfully ignoring the reality that conflict is what gives our life purpose and meaning. there is no being human without the demons that follow.
>>524172083there is a tiny story by chehov:part 1/2A Conversation Between a Drunkard and a Sober DevilThe former government official of the intendant's administration and retired collegiate secretary Lakhmatov [lɒxˈmætɒv] sat at his desk, drinking his sixteenth shot of vodka, and pondering on brotherhood, equality, and freedom. Suddenly, a devil appeared from behind the lamp... But don't be frightened, dear readeress. Do you know who a devil is? It is a young man with a pleasant appearance, with a mug as black as boots, and expressive red eyes. He has horns on his head, even though he is not married. His hairstyle is à la Capoul. His body is covered with green wool and smells like a dog. A tail with an arrow at the end hangs down from the bottom of his back. Instead of fingers, he has claws, and instead of legs, he has horse hooves. Lakhmatov was a bit startled at the sight of the devil but soon calmed down, remembering that pink elephants or green devils have the foolish habit of appearing to everyone who has had a bit too much to drink."Who do I have the honour of speaking to?" he addressed the uninvited guest.The devil looked embarrassed and lowered his eyes."Don't be shy," continued Lakhmatov. "Come closer... I am a man without prejudices, and you can speak to me frankly... from the heart... Who are you?"The devil hesitantly approached Lakhmatov, bent his tail under him, and politely bowed."I am a devil or a demon," he introduced himself. "I serve as an official of special assignments under his Excellency, the director of the hellish bureau, Mr. Satan!""I've heard of you... very pleased to make your acquaintance. Sit down! Would you like some vodka? I'm happy to oblige. What do you do?"
>>524177307part 2The devil became even more embarrassed."To be honest, I don't have any specific occupation...," he replied, coughing, and blowing his nose into the "Novaya Gazeta". "We used to have a job... We tempted people... led them astray from the path of goodness onto the path of evil... But now, between you and me, that it's not worth even spitting... There is no longer a path of goodness, nothing to tempt them from. And people have become smarter than us... Do please try to tempt a person who has a university degree and has been through thick and thin! How can I teach you to steal rubble when you've already snatched millions without my help?”“That's true. But, still, don't you do anything now?”“Yes... Our previous position can now only exist as a memorial, but we still have work. We tempt classy ladies, encourage young men to write poetry, and make drunken merchants break mirrors. But we haven't meddled in politics, literature, or science for a long time... We don't know jack shit about that. Many of us collaborate with "Novaya Gazeta", and there are even some who have left hell and joined human society... These retired devils who have joined society have married rich merchants and are now living very well. Some of them are lawyers, others publish newspapers, and they are generally very efficient and respected people!”
>>524177334part 3“I'm sorry for the indiscreet question, what kind of income do you get?”“Our position is the same as before.” - answered the devil.“The staff hasn't changed at all. The apartment, lighting, and heating are still paid for by the state... They don't give us salaries because we're considered superfluous staff, and because being a devil is an honorary position... In general, to be honest, life is tough, even if you go around the world... Thanks to humans, they taught us how to take bribes, or else we would have been destroyed long ago... We're just living off our income... You supply the sinners with provisions, and then you get to snatch your share. Satan has grown old, he just goes to watch his best-loved ballet dancer, he's not interested to produce an image of being accountable anymore”.Lakhmatov poured a shot of vodka for the devil. He drank it and started talking. He told all the secrets of hell, spilled his guts, cried, and pleased Lakhmatov so much that he even let him stay overnight. The devil slept in the stove and had nightmares all night. By the morning he disappeared.
>>524177353lol thats a funny story thanks rusky

>>524177487our folklore is kinda different from what west has.it is full of creatures but all of them are very social.so even a demon turned into "chert" - not translatable.and there are a lot of cool stories about an interaction between human and cherts.my favorite one is a story about an angel and chert playing cards during war for the life of a russian soldier.in any case if you are bored or something you might like our folklore.by being different it might give you some "food for the mind".
>>524177689i met and hungout with a russian women fora couple days who was afraid of getting sent back. Its so strange how some terms arnt really translatable. How "blyat" or блядь if thats the proper way to spell it comes across. Apparently its like saying fuck but the expression is different but you would still say it the same way here kinda. Where as you might say "blyaaaaat" we might say "fuuuuuuuuuck" and it would apparently be essentially the same thing expressively, but they are still different words
>>524177689So, when the demon said this:>Some of them are lawyers, others publish newspapers, and they are generally very efficient and respected people!He was talking about jews, right?
>>524172083>the world of politics has dealings attacks and battles with Invisible Antimatter Powers (ἐξουσίαι "rulers of the darkness of this world") and Principalities (ἀρχαὶ "princes of the air"; Ephesians 6:12)it's truehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBWCLLuQRsQ>...I believe they are spying on us.
>>524178057>Some of them are lawyers, others publish newspapers, and they are generally very efficient and respected people!>He was talking about jews, right?hmmm
>>524177689>even a demon turned into "chert" - not translatableyou'd be surprisedeven nymphs and neraides are just a kind of demon (americanized daemon)it's not contradictory, just western culture has no sense of what demons are
