Here is the face behind Yahu’s supposedly human mask.
Through this portrait, I wanted to give shape to evil — the kind that relentlessly devours humanity.
Yahu embodies absolute evil, evil against humanity. An immeasurable evil that strikes indiscriminately at every human, regardless of beliefs, religions, cults, or cultures. Yahu is a némocrat, an outraged monarch who wields the power of indignation when it suits him; Yahu inflicts violence yet cries “injustice” the moment he suffers it. Yahu feigns outrage as soon as he becomes a target and calls “scandal” what he himself passes over in silence.
Yahu the némocrat is not merely a hypocrite: he manipulates morality, stages evil, dictates indignation. He does not live by principles but by the geography of power: what is unacceptable in his universe becomes acceptable elsewhere; what he inflicts on others becomes unbearable when he endures it.
The weapon of the némocrat: double-speak. Repression becomes security, reform becomes destruction, and peace means submission. His shield: victimhood on demand.
The némocrat strikes first, then brandishes his complaint as a banner. He dominates by being pitied; he silences others by crying “silenced.”
Every word against him becomes persecution, every critique a conspiracy. He does not engage in dialogue: he hides behind pathos. The danger: as long as indignation is wielded as an instrument of power, justice itself becomes inverted indignation (he claims to be unjustly judged), and language turns into a smoke factory of moraline (that ostentatious moral syrup).
Thus, when the executioner weeps louder than the victim, the world no longer knows whom to defend. Morality becomes spectacle, violence becomes rhetoric, and responsibility a staged effect.
What to do with this type of incarnated evil? We must learn to recognize the némocrat, to distinguish real suffering from performance, to hear his cries without letting them become commands, and to name contradiction wherever it hides under the cloak of indignation.
We do not want politicians draped in rags of pain.
We do not want tyrants preaching peace with mouths full of ashes.
The world does not need those who weep for their own bombs, but those who doubt even while governing, and listen even while speaking.
Yahu is also a scapulogen (psychological term): to erase his faults, he invents scapegoats.
He is a victimarch (analytical term): a monarch cloaked in the sacred status of victim.
He is the aggressor-victim: the executioner/victim who guards his own interests.
He is a vile being, as pernicious as his alter ego Hitler, from whom he inherits cruelty.
Yahu is a self-absorbed, calculating sociopath, consumed by an insatiable thirst for power and a crippling fear of losing it — above all, a fear of being brought to justice for the atrocities he has committed.
He spreads like a plague across the world, with full impunity, armed with a diabolical strategy, fully conscious of the evil he inflicts and delighting in its devastating impact. This is how I see him: in all his darkness, his vile depths, his endless wickedness.
He belongs to the lineage of tyrants such as Pol Pot, Stalin, Hitler, Duvalier, Mussolini, and all those dictators who have trampled this earth, annihilating humanity and shattering its harmony.
