I have to preface this by saying that I don't think I'm better, have better values or opinions than anyone else. This is simply a rant about out current narrative that takes place in society, politics, and values. It's purely opinion, and it could be dogshit for all i know.
It's the year 2020, and to me it's quite magnificent how far we've come as a world, as just 200 years ago, we went through the industrial revolution, most countries are establishing democracies, countries were establishing an independence (most recently, South Sudan in 2011), and over time, equality and love has become the leading power globally. I mean, just 75 years ago, the first computer was made and it basically took up the entire wall! Now we have tiny computers in our pockets, able to make calls anywhere on the globe, holding gigabytes of information. But enough about that.
With how far we've come, our current state of affairs is draining, pathetic and embarrassing. The fact that we, as a whole society can't come to terms on simple problems that have been part of our society since before all of this is truly infuriating. Our values have been so strained in the pursuit of money and power, attention and fame. You look at what's happening around the world; uighur Muslims are being funneled into concentration camps in China. We have millions of refugees fleeing their home country due to domestic terrorism, or mindless bombings disguised as war on terror. Argentina's prices on necessities triple in one week. The list goes on and on, and i understand that sometimes new governments have to fall to succeed, but ethnic cleansings should be an immediate priority for UN to step in, what else good is the organization if it doesn't act on it's sole purpose?
Which preludes into another point: war is a barbaric show of strength that is long outdated. There is simply no use for it anymore. All nations are established, there is no reason to lose innocent civilians who are just trying to make a paycheck because their "leader" says to. Who can justify having 13k collective nuclear warheads at their disposal? That's the highest crime of humanity, to ever use one of those. Territories are declared, civility is standard. If there's a reason for war, there's a reason to remove the person in power and have the nation fight back against it's presidents choice. Use of military action is outdated against other countries, and the problem can be resolved through UN counsel, or handled internally.
I can go on and on: 2020 and we still go back and forth about women in power, people of color, rights and freedom, death penalties, abortion, gun control. It's exhausting. How do people think that background checks = taking away guns? How do we justify cops shooting and killing anyone just because they were fleeing? Why do cops have their guns drawn before their tazors? Why do we still argue about women's right for an abortion?
Sadly, we have no one to blame but ourselves. We elect these people, let them go unchecked, let the corruption and greed play out for our own convenience. Our standards have been set so low, we're more divided than ever before. Media controls the mindless for their own agenda, including more bias than actual journalism. People are famous who shouldn't be, people who shouldn't have kids do, healthcare is a privilege and not a right (in some countries).. everything goes unchecked. The public is less in touch or involved with their government than ever before. The rich control the world and we just soak up the leftovers, and we're okay with it. The rich are worried their empires will become obsolete because of new technologies, and that's exactly what should happen! If coal isn't the best source of energy, adapt or get out of the way! Instead they pay off politicians to keep themselves essential, thus delaying our stride towards greatness.
I try to keep hope. The media shows us what we want to see, but at the same time people are so quick to take out their phone to do something good that they only do it for attention. There's still good out there, i think once this older generation dies off, we'll be better off. The greed runs so heavily through their blood. They're intimidated by the people they try to silence.
Pls don't ban or remove there's nothing controversial 🙂
