Leaders come and go. Some good. Some more good than bad.
And then we have the current crop of spineless opportunists.
It's clear to anyone with a decent grip on reality, that the people in leadership positions have turned their backs on the citizens they were elected to represent.
Rich elites have hijacked the world and installed the puppets of their choosing.
Was this always the natural progression of capitalism? Of democratic republics?
Name the current form of government and economic policy that isn't moving towards globalism?
A couple of decades ago none of what they are implementing would have been possible.
For those old enough to remember, people felt a lot safer a couple of decades ago.
What changed?
Globalism happened, and is now ready to peak.
Imagine a group of people, unelected, telling citizens of Western countries the will own nothing and have zero privacy in the 1980s.
Imagine elected leaders in the 1980s agreeing to it without populist consent.
Imagine telling someone in the 80s that in a few years no kids would ever be able to play in the neighborhood streets until dinner time ever again.
Imagine telling them that instead of flying cars and an utopian vision of the future we would argue about the definition of what a woman is.
Or that the borders of the West would be opened to allow any criminals to just walk across and receive better benefits than citizens.
Remember when grandparents could walk with their grandchildren unaccosted in the streets at 10:00pm?
Remember when every suburb didn't have multiple drug houses?
Imagine telling someone in the 80s we would call this.....
Progress.
Things have gotten worse incrementally for decades now.
Only the elites and simple Jacks of the world think this is a good thing.
Every scientific discipline should, in theory, reach a a point where there is no more to learn.
In politics, we jump between the earth is flat to the earth is a sphere every couple of years.
We need immutable laws that benefit humanity.
Inalienable human rights.
We need a system that is not setup by the elites.
Lobbyists should not exist.
Big business should never have the power over people they currently possess.
War should never be acceptable.
Secret societies needs to die.
The banking cabal needs to be dismantled.
People should be able to live with dignity.
Leaders should be benevolent dictators, dictating an immutably agreed upon set of laws.
By the people.
For the people.
Humanity's most ambitious project?
Or are we simply too brainwashed to realize the possibilities?
Why can't we force our leaders to do right by us?
Is it because the earth was never meant to serve the common man?
Are we truly just modern day slaves to a system some will no doubt rush to defend?
I want to take this opportunity to apologize to all the children in the world.
Those already born and those generations that are still to come.
Our generation is the one that have ultimately failed you and it will be our eternal shame.
We are the worst generation.

Nothing too controversial just a realisation I think?
They said there's no inequality worth fighting for and we believed them, nodded as we watched the news of our flavour (that said the same crap) and then proceeded to tell the kids to stfu.
Work with the youth it's their future, tell them what the talking heads said all these years of your life and what they actually do... I think if you can pass on a sense of ideological blindness AND extremism that would be important also.
Here's something controversial for some, we need to work together. All of us.

I believe that Jaweh had dealt with this earlier and it was chronicled in Genesis 11.
We are living in an age of the new Tower of Babel. When globalism leaders attempt to build the perfect world using imperfect building blocks (people). Their belief is that the highest form of humanity is a all-encompassing group...or commune.
God believes it is the family unit...and each family unit working in harmony with each other in the best interest first for the family, then for the other families together.

We can't change the world if we can't change ourselves. It's a bit of a dichotomy I see. It's not our fault. And change for me means to grow more into oneself. We need to reach an inner peace before we can preach peace to others.
We need to forgive ourselves.
It really can change the world.
If people tend to treat us badly, what kind of energy is it that we knowingly or unknowingly put out?
Treat others the way you wish to be treated.
It's a magical realization when it becomes more than just a grouping of words that you happen to understand only in generic terms.
The thing I tell my kids is that they are their own person and I can only provide a guideline. I cannot tell them what to do because I won't always be there by their side in the moment.
I always say to them that I don't care if they mess up, it's part of the human experience. But you need to know why you choose to do things. If you mess up and I ask you why you did something, never tell me you don't know why.
Have a reason for doing things before you do them, even if it turns out to be the wrong reasons. Usually kids have a pretty good sense of right and wrong, and mistakes are a learning curve for self development.
I'm trying to teach responsibility.

Let's hope not. At that point, our sciences and scientists will become useless to us.
Indeed.
We have those, or most Western countries do, but you're always going to have "tin pot dictators" that violate them.
We have that too, in the U.S., but we have failed to keep those elites in check. Not completely our fault, but certainly we are partly to blame.
There's no such creature. The very word itself contradicts the word before it and the words after it, in your sentence.
We can. The better question is, where is the will and unity to do so?
The earth has no thought of us one way or another.
Yes.
Hardly. We are one of many generations that have succumbed to the psychopaths of our time. Our problem is that we don't learn from our own history. Partly because we ignore its lessons, and partly because great resources are expended erasing it or rewriting it by those who would be kings and queens, at least in their own minds.

Perhaps I should've elaborated a bit more.
We've never had it better. Not even the most powerful people throughout history a 100+ odd years ago could travel so fast. Could communicate instantly with anyone else on the planet. Could heat or cool their environments so effortlessly. Get lifesaving medical treatment and live to a ripe old age.
Humanity has never had things more convenient on a global scale than right now.
To win this war against the elites we do not even have to pick up arms and fight to the very last man.
We simply have to come together and say in unison : we do not consent to this future you're presenting us with.
But we can't even do that.

It's why they go to such great lengths to keep us divided.
Can't have the peasants taking up torches and pitchforks.
ETA: Thought you might find this quote of interest...
“If you wish to keep slaves, you must have all kinds of guards. The cheapest way to have guards is to have the slaves pay taxes to finance their own guards. To fool the slaves, you tell them that they are not slaves and that they have Freedom. You tell them they need Law and Order to protect them against bad slaves. Then you tell them to elect a Government. Give them Freedom to vote and they will vote for their own guards and pay their salary. They will then believe they are Free persons. Then give them money to earn, count and spend and they will be too busy to notice the slavery they are in.” - Alexander Warbucks

The people running the world in the 1980s had seen how bad things can get. Those leaders had personal memories branded into them that indicated how important it was to use positive ways of getting the job done.
Their task was helped by one of the outcomes of the World Wars -- that many of the most aggressive and antisocial men had cut each other down in hundreds of battles.
Neither of those aspects hold anymore. Current leadership is as you indicate, and we once again have a full crop of those thinking "MY way".
Glad I'm getting older, Bones. Getting to be time to join my ancestors.
Cheers

the problem is we live in an age of technocrats ironically this outcome is what liberalism feared the most but ended up being the one who embraced its
fears like a religion..

I agree to an extent but I have to say that even a broken clock is right twice a day, even raving lunatics can contribute positivity under the right circumstances, we all can... Start small like putting the bins out for someone.
Have a cry it's alright being serious then afterwards remember how ridiculous we are as a species and try not to take it too seriously.
We carry the trauma with us through life and slowly but truly become bitter. Some more than others... When I was a kid joyful people annoyed me, these days I'd shower their feet in petals if they asked, man or woman lol.
It's not even hard to be nice but we learn that it's easier to be hard... We teach that.
It's realised better...
But that can take time or trauma, best we/you can do is support them. I haven't any kids myself yet but I'm coming to the realisation that ideally it should take a village to raise kids. They need that perspective, we all do really I think.
Sounds like you're doing alright though Don't be too hard on yourself. I mean... For many it might be easier to forgive ourselves before we realise what we did anyways
