China says it will work with Russia to promote "Real Democracy" I wish they'd include Donald Trump with them, he might prove quite inspirational, and maybe few others like Orban of Hungary, Erdogan of Turkey and most autocracies/theocracies of the world, like Iran, Saudi, Israel and few others.
All this at a moment when few can deny that this country is experiencing a deep crisis, depression, addiction, suicide, extreme wealth inequality, more difficult to attain medical and health treatment including medicine prices and monopoles, education and its availability in adequate forms for the public sectors, all made worse by Covid 19, the rash of mass killings, the effects of too many individual guns and high military and assault machine guns in too many individual hands. (Over 400 million pieces already existing in America).
As well as a general political malaise, fueled by a total divide from an old inherited conservative and religious ideology, countering a more liberal, 21st century international ideology. More concentrated especially within the younger and better educated and more democratic populations, deserting fascism, and dictatorships, whether theocratic or secular, not to forget the greatest of our curses "Racism", and finally the spectacle of war, produced by all sorts of adventures all around, finally culminating by the Putin's war in Ukraine, and the threat of yet another one in the China sea.
Altogether producing an omnipresent and universal anxiety, reigning in the back-ground, all of which lead to more economic instability, poverty, exploitation, undermining resilience and resistance world wide, destroying the general hope of a stable and more prosperous unified glob.
Just by being a little more observant and looking around all over, we can all begin to notice something profoundly disturbing happening to our world, it's the same feeling that led in a sense to world wars one and two, to a situation of cold war or an in between semi cold and hot war. Our civilization all over is beginning again to start collapsing and it's visibly failing, our economic systems are not functioning well anymore, our social policies and fair equality of wealth distribution are left behind and being neglected, even refused under different parroted arguments.
But surely they are all united under few general headings; greed, and concentrated power, and winner takes all, superiority and supremacy of the few, etc...etc.... Israel is a clear leader and joins many of the world entities with these attributes. Food, water, energy, money, state welfare, climate change, selfishness, major immigration shifts, how many crises can a civilization take ?? Are we really facing an inevitable civilizational collapse ?? Are we really living through a pre collapse era, by witnessing failures of all kinds, pushing all our basic systems to start shattering and breaking.
The real source of distrust, many Americans feel toward the establishment and government, being it Democrats or Republicans, presently being played and manipulated by Republicans, this distrust comes from some chronic ailments, manifested by four decades of near stagnant wages to all but the highest echelon of the corporate world, widening inequalities, a clearly alarming shrinking middle-class, an ever more concentration of wealth at the very top, and growing corruption in the form of campaign cash and bribes from the wealthy and the corporate world, leading to an almost total stagnation of governance and some very nuanced legislations, always to favor the few very rich and powerful.
My as always, many thanks to all, stay safe and well.
