# Fight Culture
Fight culture is the [harmful](harmful.md), mostly western mindset of seeing any endeavor as a fight against something. Even such causes as aiming for establishment of [peace](peace.md) are seen as fighting the people who are against peace, which is [funny](fun.md) but also sad. Fight culture keeps, just by the constant repetition of the word *fight* (and similar ones such as *combat*, *win* etc.), a subconscious validation of violence as justified and necessary means for achieving any goal. Fight culture is to a great degree the culture of [capitalist](capitalism.md) society (of course not exclusively), the environment of extreme [competition](competition.md) and hostility. It fuels [war](war.md) mentality, hostility, [fear culture](fear_culture.md) (everyone is your enemy!), constant unrest leading to mental health deterioration, obsession with various kinds of protections against everything etc. Fight is a mechanism of the jungle, something a civilized society tries to distance itself from -- sustaining the mechanisms of the jungle means we are only implementing cosmetic changes. It is ridiculous, our society is now one big fight: against global warming, unemployment, inflation, [unproductivity](productivity_cult.md), traffic jams, hunger, too little hunger etc. Perhaps in a few years it won't even sound so weird to say you are fighting a road when you try to get from point A to point B or that you are fighting air when riding your bike.

It is laughable but also tragic, our society is now one big fight: for "human [rights](rights_culture.md)", education, for respect and dignity, against illnesses, criminality, global warming, unemployment, inflation, [unproductivity](productivity_cult.md), traffic jams, hunger and poverty etc. [Language](human_language.md) reflects our inner mindset: we say we "fight" our shortcomings or "defend" ourselves in a discussion, as if starting a discussion was not an invitation to collaboratively search for truth but rather a personal attack. Instead of collaboration and unity we perceive only war and hostility -- if someone is "on our side" then only temporarily, for strategic or tactical reasons of self benefit in this huge conflict. Perhaps soon it won't even sound so odd to say you are fighting the road when traveling from point A to point B or that you are fighting water when you're swimming and then fighting the Sun when you lie on the beach.
[We](lrs.md), of course, see fight culture as highly undesirable for a [good society](less_retarded_society.md) as that needs to be based on peace, [love](love.md) and [collaboration](collaboration.md), not [competition](competition.md). For this reasons we never say we "fight" anything (or even "win", we rather achieve goals), we rather aim for goals, look for solutions, educate and sometimes reject, avoid, refuse and oppose bad concepts (e.g. fight culture itself).
