Peace is a fragile thing. War is the natural state of Man. Conflict is what we do best. Just look at our weapons. Much more advanced than our buildings, right?! If peace is to be achieved, compromise must be sought. It requires burying the hatchet, and preferably not in your opponents’ headpiece. But that can only work if rational people sit down and choose to work things out calmly. Violence only begets violence. If the endgame is peace, violence must be abjured.
Power structures are oppressive. They make us miserable and do not work. Yet we cannot shake them off. Why is that? What can we do about it?
Gun control does not work. It keeps law-abiding citizens under the boot heel of the tyrannic state while allowing criminals to run amok and cull the flock of hapless sheep. You pick up a gun you instantly become a citizen.
Darwin was right all along. We adapt to changing stimuli… or we die. One cannot fight change. In the long run, the Search for Meaning is meant to validate it. Its intrinsic value is part of our genetic legacy. We carry the Mortality-defying spirit of our Ancestors in our allele. We live on because we struggle to adapt. We stop struggling, we die. The Choice is Ours.
Promises have no role to play in politics. They are less reliable than cheap toilet paper. National Security cannot be entrusted in the care of foreign powers. Neutrality means nothing today because it is based on a gentlemen’s agreement. As international treaties go they cannot replace hard military power for defence against aggression. If a foreign power sees an in, they will exploit it. It is the job of statesmen to bridge those security gaps left open by their gullible predecessors. War and Peace depend on it!
We are born to be Free. Freedom of Speech in inalienable. Nothing else matters.
People like their comforts. I get it. People enjoy technology. They think it helps them live better lives. False. Technology makes people needy. They need, nay, crave comfort. That’s where Government steps in. They provide the comfort People pay for. That’s how Government controls the People. They lose their Freedom. But, hey as long as they have wi-fi, it’s all good, right! That’s how Corruption works.
There are no good or bad guys in geopolitics. Everyone is tainted. False analogies do not help anyone. A valid analogy does.
The West is in free fall. The rot is everywhere. Our amorality has destroyed us. Because we ourselves are cowards, we detest courage in others. If we are lucky, it will be a quick decay into a state of confusion. If not, this living corpse will take a long time to expire. Optimism is cowardice. We are wanton optimists. Shame on us!
This generation is truly and royally screwed. We are being robbed of the fruit of our own labor. Yet we do nothing. We deserve our lot. In the past, people were less forgiving of those who would deprive them of the product of their work. If they saw us accepting this level of taxation, they’d spit on us. We are pathetic.
