As children did you expect the future to look like this? Its like the storyline to an early version of mad max. The run up to an apocalyptic event. The leaders (if we accept that is what they are) have gone mad. We the people have allowed greedy corrupt fascists and Nazi’s into positions of power. We worry about religious extremists but ignored the ones that only worship money and power.
We the worlds population seriously are nearing (if not already reached) the time to decide whether we allow these vile excuses to continue on a path to either our enslavement or destruction.
I know, I know I sound like I am delusional, but am I really? Is this world currently any more settled than when Germany, Stalin, Hirohito, Mussolini took power. Is Trump any different? Are the actions of May? Vilifying the vulnerable, the sick, the disabled, the poor? Focussing the media (propaganda machine) upon hate and distrust? Instead of jews we blame Muslims, see them as the enemy.
Ah but we don’t have concentration camps do we? We did have Sangatte though. A place where we allowed men, women and children to live in abject poverty. We also have detention centres, where people, human beings are held indefinitely in not very pleasant conditions.
There is a difference however between Hitler’s Reich and our world. Hitler invested in the infra structure of Germany, our government only invest in their own pockets. (no not saying Hitler was good in any way but his corruption differed from that of May’s Tories, his lust was for his future vision, an ethnically cleansed world with no disabled, no sick, no ‘sub humans – as he saw anyone that was not aryan, May and cronies only want money and power. All this suffering to line their pockets) Trump is even more scary. Trump is a mentally ill man with a god complex. He truly believes all his hate.
I absolutely despair that we have let it get like this. I feel powerless, however if by some miracle we unite, we stand up to this fascism, we could stop it. We could win. But sadly I believe the majority will continue to bury their heads in the sand.
