The Group of Enjoining Good and Forbidding Evil

I know the name of the group sounds strange, but what the group does is even stranger.

The responsibility of this group is to enforce what some people believe should be enforced—and to punish everyone who doesn’t listen, preferably while claiming moral superiority.

I will make a comparison between the group in two different countries: the first is Alsheikh Country, and the second is Mickey Mouse Country.

What is the difference between the groups in each country?

In Alsheikh Country:

The group was reduced and stripped of its authority, but when it did have power, it was officially part of the country’s law and funded by the government in front of the whole world.

As punishment, they used to close shops, issue reports to the police, and sometimes even deliver people directly to the police until they were bailed out.

Transparent? Yes. Open for the world to say their opinion? Also yes.

In Mickey Mouse Country:

The group does not officially exist and is not part of the law—yet somehow it manages to break the law anyway.

It is funded and sponsored by conservative parties. Some people do the dirty work for free (true believers), while others receive gift cards as payment—because nothing says “moral duty” like a supermarket voucher.

As punishment, they start with psychological pressure, move on to humiliation, and finish with psychological torture through isolation and smear campaigns.

If that is still not enough, the muscles arrive—secret societies. The parties swear they have absolutely nothing to do with them and loudly condemn such groups, yet for mysterious reasons these secret societies keep showing up right on time to help.

A miracle, really.

How do people and authorities react when the group is mentioned?

Situation 1: You tell the authorities that this group conflicts with human rights

Alsheikh Country:

They might smile, acknowledge the problem, and tell you they will think about it.

(They did think. And they did fix the problem.)

Mickey Mouse Country:

They deny that such a group exists at all and immediately flip the script by acting deeply offended—because nothing defends human rights like selective blindness.

Situation 2: You tell people that these kinds of groups do not suit your country and that you deserve better

Alsheikh Country:

Most people will agree and may even express sadness. A few will still defend the group, but humbly and respectfully, using their own reasoning.

Mickey Mouse Country:

Some will agree, and some will dismiss you—which is fine and socially accepted.

Then there are those who will not only defend their executioner, but will also inform you that you do not even have the right to express your opinion.

Because in Mickey Mouse Country, freedom of speech exists—just not for you.
