The people that run this world don't care how you or I live, they just care that we help make them richer.
I remember, in high school, learning about impoverished people in England and on mainland Europe who were called 'serfs'. They worked for a very selfish few - the king, his family, his lackies, his governments, and the local governments - without hope of cessation or a better future. And I also remember feeling superior to these serfs, thinking "Oh hell no, this would never happen today! We have rights and freedom and we're not stupid enough to let a few people have control of the rest of us!"
I also remember learning about Russia and the USSR. I always had the thought that those people just quit trying - maybe based on the stories of high alcoholism, or the pictures of very sad people. Or maybe those feelings were based on the Home Team propaganda of my teachers, parents and media. "Hey, look at them! They're weak and can't even buy blue jeans! If they cared, why would they just let things like this happen?"
And now, where are Americans? We are slowly losing our rights. We are losing our houses. We are losing our money. We are losing our self-respect. We are becoming serfs. We are becoming the masses that toil against their will under a select few. It's shameful.
Nothing short of a revolution will change anything. But as we become a more censored, more surveilled people, we're too afraid to lose the little that we have in order to fight. At this time, we have no one to blame but ourselves. 'They' are corrupt and should never have been tolerated or put in charge - we acquiesced to their corruption by ignoring it and following their political theater with rapt attention, as if it were real.
It's up to us, now. Wake up...please.
