Considering the expression " Disordered world" one would think it real and factual in our times, just by looking at some hot and crazy spots around the world . To name just a few ; The American presidential elections, Brexit and its aftermath, the ongoing situation in Ukraine , the amazing ascent of Mr. Putin with his oligarchy and many of their past glorious dreams , the glory and supremacy of Israeli Neocon Zionist and religious politicians , and their live visions for the greater Israel, promised by their God , vis-a-vis a deteriorating and evaporating Middle-East, and the ascent of religious fervor in both camps, Musslem and Jewish .
An alarming imbalance of wealth distribution and disparity all over the world, threatening social fabrics and stability . Alarming numbers of prison incarceration and torture the world over . A looming malicious terror wave, from all sides, threatening civilization as we know it . An astonishing rapid rise of Yellow power, economical as well as military, reminding the world of some old fears of new waves of hegemony , they called it the Yellow peril some decades ago .
And finally a newly mix of religious fanatical dogmas , popular taboos , and archaic social customs, invading different societies at all levels, threatening basic social fabrics and modern ways of conduct, as well as hundreds of years of advancement and progress .
Old dictatorships , oligarchies , autocracies and theocracies , that used to put a hold on their populations, limit their aspirations and movements , are not anymore the regular norms, even if existing in many unfortunate spots, instead some pseudo democratic ideas are replacing them all . Thus making it more loose and dangerous , especially for new developing societies .
All versus more bizarre and grotesque leaders and their autocrats , and political establishments dictating their narrow policies under new slogans and pretexts of fighting terrorism and immigrants, while drifting into State terrorism themselves, backed by highly repressive security and police forces, militias and armies . And manipulating monetary and economical policies to suit their benefits and the people behind them .
With some clear and evident responsibility of both the U.S. and Israel for the Middle-East state of affairs, one could rationalize that you don't suddenly see a young Musslem militant behind his truck's wheel, packed with explosives, ramming through market places and see side cornice and promenades. They all result from known injustices , and deep historical and actual reasons behind them .
Lack of basic dignity, poverty and marginalization makes them resistance fighters , martyrs and heroes . Apartheid tactics, hegemonic policies and colonialism , invariably provide enough fuel for most deadly conflicts and acts . As is cruelty , detention , torture and legal state violence . Arrogant statements by aspiring American politicians , encouraging the Israelis to kill 200,000 Ghaza Palestinians, instead of 2000 on their next barbaric adventure is deplorable, and sick to say the least.
Holding and preserving through military superiority and brutality , as many countries and regimes continue doing , what they can not preserve any more with economic superiority , moral and pluralistic authority .
Some real problems like major global recessions , high and uncontrollable unemployment, pollution and global warming , spreading deceases and deadly virus outbreaks , urban violence , cultural , moral and pluralistic tolerance , disparities of wealth, all have to be solved, eased and eliminated on planetary levels , if Sapiens aspire to go beyond our actual century .
My usual appreciation for your time and help spreading the blog and its ideas .
