I Am Frustrated With Society

A week ago I wrote a post about the incoming elections in my country. I got really disappointed with the results. The same party that brought us huge unemployment and deep financial trouble twice in the past (and which is likely to bring other kinds of trouble in the future) was massively voted again.

In the last months before elections they raised pensions, minimum wage, also public workers salary, to a larger extent than the country can afford, thus cresting more debt that will have to be paid, and paving the way for future tax rises and cutbacks

However, most people do not care. They just think of the here and now. They have a selfish, childish mentality that only allows them to think of the short term and themselves.

How is it possible to build something that remotely resembles a community or a country with those people?

I hope people there wake up soon before things get really bad.

@novembermoon More and more I believe people only wake up when crisis or violence hits them hard directly, and even then their memory is small

This is exactly why I don't support unrestricted Democracy. Votes by the uneducated and uninformed don't take much to be incredibly damaging and fulfil their goals of only a few individuals in power.

A single person can be reasonable.
Mobs are incredibly stupid and easily led.
The former, more often than not, can easily change their opinion and vote as to not disturb the mob, lest he or she be the target of their smears.

Even on a smaller scale such as working for a corporation you see this happen over and over again.

Whoever said making a revolution of Spirit and Love

would be an easy task?

Its NOT about the individual anyway, and when we can find a way to take care of one another maybe

just maybe

we'll have a rip roaring FIGHTING chance

to save our precious little

selves

Hmmm. I guess no one liked that.
Just saying that PEOPLE POWER is not the PROBLEM it is the SOLUTION.

It has to be.

PS: That "mob" stuff is all about how to exploit people to make sure they DON'T ever find any empowerment. Don't be fooled by syntax or language.
Orwell talked about the dangers of that stuff too.

And Orwell was never a flaming "leftie" type. But he still knew the score.

join with others and build original egalitarian business, also you should

listen to Richard Wolff.

Capitalism won't save us. That's not what it exists for.

@RooiSoosSkarlakenWitSoosSneeu They surely will, but too late.

@Cierzo This stuff is happening everywhere so YOU ARE NOT ALONE in perceiving the truth. There are destructive forces in the world built of insane greed and a criminal sense of "power".

But if you keep strong and look for all the healing energy and constructive intelligence all around us, we will save our own home, this precious unique astonishing planet of ours.

We have a right to get it BETTER!!!!!!

Richard Wolff KNOWS.
