RE: Americans Are Horrified by Mass Killings — Unless the Government Is Doing It

in #truth7 years ago (edited)

A large part of most politicians personal money is invested in the "war industry" or they are heavily subsidised by them and nothing will change when it comes to that until we change our political system A- from a 2 party system to a multi party system B- remove money from politics. World wide a great percentage of the general population is perpetually unwilling to care about anything but what personally affects them. U.S Americans just double down on it like they supersize their fast food - to quote west side story " Everything BIG in America". On the World stage America has been the school yard bully for a very long time and like the school yard lunch stealing mean kid deep down America is a coward that hides behind force. This reflects in it's population, we are afraid of everything and little common sense is ever to be found in fear. Most of this screaming about needing regulation is because they fear this could happen to their kids, and the images they see on TV look familiar as do the faces of the victims. Who cares that some brown kid a world away is getting murdered it does not register because a lot of stuff outside of the U.S does not register. a lot of American have little knowledge about anything outside of their immediate horizon nor are they really interested to learn about it. They want what they know, a 12 piece bucket from Kentucky fried chicken, their favorite T.v show, sports and a beer.

Like any uneducated population superstitions run high the demons of today just wear human faces and the ghost stories are told by the light of our screens and Tv.s instead of the campfire. The way this fear expresses itself is in many ways the same regardless of political leaning even though it might look different on first superficial glance. The majority believe the lies their respective leaders tell them or at least they see it as the Lesser evil" that they conform to as thinking for them self and fining new approaches is just to uncomfortable. Agendas are polarized and even when it seems that the policy being sold is there to help people it is just really a front to gain popular opinion and has little to do with the actual population it is deemed to make a difference for. The truth is that true change is birthed by compromise and conscious effort which is something few in the political game are really interested in.

Even amongst those who think differently there are so little few who are willing to actually sit down and work on viable solutions they rather bitch at each other and talk about flat earth and chemtrails and how this side and that side is wrong. The key to the war issue and out global issues start right at home at our own doorstep. Like it or not whatever affiliation you claim or do not claim our politicians are not going to fix anything. We also are going to share our communities, our country and or planet with each other until we die. It is time to be more compassionate toward each other, to find ways to make room for all birds with whatever plumage and tackle our issues ourselves.

If we create better freer communities, educate each other and teach each other to become more independent and self sufficient this will bleed out into our compassion for other nations as well. A nation a people at war with each other will never understand the true meaning of peace nor perpetuate it.
