Learned helplessness is a psychological phenomenon where an individual, after experiencing repeated negative situations they couldn't control, develops a belief that they are incapable of influencing their circumstances, even when they actually have the power to do so. This can lead to feelings of powerlessness, low self-esteem, and even depression.

Learned helplessness is the optimal outcome of torture. The individual simply gives up on everything. The torturer wins and gets full control over the individual.

Learned helplessness is it what makes Ursula von der Leyen give up on the European idea, on moral values and on any hope that we might be better off without our big brother USA. So she ends up humiliated in front of the cameras while the clown tells his lies. Europe as a nation of nations ends in learned helplessness.

After all these years of getting used to all these compromises we finally give in and become chess figures of a hegemony.

Learned helplessness is it what made me shy away from the complexity of the Middle East conflict. So I did not stand up when democratic rules were broken by the western nations who did not accept the outcome of a regular vote of the Palestinian people. To let HAMAS participate in an election and then decline them their seats afterwards was a huge thing. It was the beginning of the end.

Since then I watch closely, but I learned helplessness and so many people in Palestine lost their land, lost their lives. Because I mixed up complexity and difficulty.

But there is no difficulty in this conflict. It is rather simple and straight forward. As David Ben Gurion once said: "We stole their land,"

But look who is still maintaining his helplessness- like Ursula or Johann or Friedrich.

Two and a half decades of War on Terror make us simply give up all that we have: our core values and our core beliefs. There is nowhere to run. We are tied in an uncomfortable position and feel the pain. We suffer. We shiver. The torturers win. We give up. Mission accomplished.
