Forgiveness, they told us, was divine. But we were never taught that it could be weaponized.

An empire built on guilt must always offer pardon—but only through itself. So it invented eternal offense, original sin, and then sold us absolution as the only cure.

It told us to forgive abusers, tyrants, colonizers. To love enemies who never repented. To silence our rage with a cross. To call injustice “part of God’s plan.”

But this wasn’t forgiveness—it was compliance wrapped in virtue. A pacified people are easy to rule. A perpetually guilty people will never rise.

True forgiveness frees the soul.
But empire-forgiveness binds it to the throne.

They said, “Father, forgive them.” But who forgives the Father of the System? Who questions the doctrine that sanctifies oppression?

When we forgive without truth, we recycle harm. When we cancel justice for the sake of piety, we protect power—not people.

The Unbound say: forgiveness must never be a shield for evil.

There is no healing in silence. There is no salvation in denial. The era of holy submission ends here.
