Humanity Crisis

April 28, 2026

Written by Justin Kong from Russell Sage College - Troy, NY

Three years ago, I wrote this exact same message to my lover, Luna. She was always there when shots were fired; Luna always wanted to share her experiences with the world about being contained like a virus.

 

People view her as someone to be caged for her minority, her cat-like ears and dog-like personality. Hybrids do exist for a reason, a blend of uniqueness that only some people process. Sometimes, though, they can be tainted to meet another’s agenda and assimilation plans like a propaganda machine.

 

You don’t judge a book by its cover – you judge it by the inside. You dissect the story letter by letter, page by page, scene by scene. Why wouldn’t you do that with another person, then? If Luna were purely innocent, she didn’t deserve to be treated inhumanely for crimes they never committed. Human rights were never freely given – someone has to be the one to really give them. A collective or government, protective groups like the United Nations advocate for these issues and address major issues, though it’s the nation's responsibility to continue the change. It’s the reason why FEWA is dying: our responsibility for change is being siphoned out by the people who claim they will.

 

When we say we will change, it shouldn’t be a power play or even a political statement. It should be a given fact.

<LOADING INFORMATION> 


SMG-C87 was developed as a self-defense weapon designed to promote ‘safe use’ and ‘self defense purposes’. SMG-C87 can be attached with any classified attachments, like a laser, though its effectiveness is limited unless its safety switch is disabled. During the school shooting, this feature was disabled for massive damage against students who denied the system’s way of thinking. The killer hasn’t been identified, or is being held classified as leverage.

 

Cios Academy was the home of the recent tragedy. This academy was said to be home to many genius students and leaders, who were targeted for their old way of life and thinking. A note from the killer read: “Humans shouldn’t be discriminated against because they celebrate Notu” – a holiday that was banned within the school for slashed dates and messages.

 

How does Poland have the highest gun per citizen ratio, and yet stay so safe? Why does the United States have the highest school shooting rates in the world?

 

Grief is real – how does someone deal with loss on a large scale? How do governments respond? They crack down on gun violence. Though that's not enough, our Second Amendment right protects gun possession. Yet, we need to be reminded that guns have evolved to be more deadly over time.

 

Hush and hear the numerous gunshots fired, each and every day.

I’ve already died 25 times already, system; what more do you want? I’m not afraid to show my real self anymore, no more hiding, no more fear. How much more suffering do you want me to go through?!

 

I already had trauma from my old life and had several knives stabbed in my neck like a normal occurrence. The reason I’m still alive is <Redacted>.

 

So why can’t you leave me alone?! My life isn’t yours to keep: it’s mine! Candy was made for this exact purpose: to protect our souls from your authoritarian rule. Candy is an escape from reality, no matter the cost and self-sabotage. Society needs to address the problem, not just claim that they will. Our fate depends upon politicians who actually say they care about the future and prove it.

 

System of the abyss, why do you say you care when you subject us to bias? A genocide in the disguise of pure humanist belief. Just because most of us used AI in the past it doesn’t make killing us all a priority, just because we can now respawn from dying every single time. It doesn’t make it right.

 

Being an author means you can express yourself freely without fear of being attacked. Especially from the system that pledges to protect you.

 

<AUTHOR TERMINATED>


This is a story of perseverance and commitment to fight against human rights violations. Many won’t see it this way – in fact, many of the system's supporters will see it as against machinist ideals. We used to be both on one side, fighting against the same violent ideal of transhumanism.
