What will unite humanity?

@SW-User How so? I thought it brought some semblance of unity? Or did it not?

@Renkon it seemed to initially until you got the anti mask/anti vax/it’s all a government hoax nuts

@Renkon

I will try :

There is a variety of weapons that are required for starting a war, which is always for the financial benefit of few, including corrupt politicians) …

Some of these weapons are actually used physically during the war…

Some are used before a war starts .. These weapons are used by politicians …

They create hatred against other nations, other religions, land, other skin colors, …

Media is one weapon that can keep people ignorant and uneducated about human values .. they can fuel the hatred caused by the politicians and based on their war agenda …

Education can help people understand that human values are more important..

For example, land is not more important than children that are killed during the war … those children has been raised with love of their parents and to kill them is to destroy the world of many …

Another example : A black doctor can save a while skinned racist, if he’s not bitten up to death for his dark skin …

And so on and so on …

No greedy political system wants to educate its own people because war is one of the most beneficial trades, such as drugs, sex trafficking, oil, and …. Selling and/or smuggling guns, tanks, missiles, etc. benefits the politicians of all parties of any war …

@Soossie However, the current educational system places little emphasis on instilling such moral values in the next generation. A few references here and there, but not enough to really matter.

Do you believe that we should alter the current educational system or even design a new one that places a higher focus on respect for humanity?

@Renkon

Different places have different systems, yet none sufficient enough …

Media is playing a huge role in this and unfortunately not for it, therefore, I believe that this kind of education should take place at home and with family … that’s why it might take generation to learn and believe, if not too late …

@JustNik Is there no light at the end of the tunnel?

@cherokeepatti What are the chances such an event occur?

@Renkon I have no idea. It’s one of those wait-and-see but it’s been planned for the longest time to have a one-world totalitarian government and to eliminate cash completely. They are working overtime trying to convince us of the benefits without telling us that it’s a one-way street and most of us will be rounded up to reduce population but also to eliminate any opposition to this evil system.

@HumanEarth I wouldn't put faith into everything that is posted on tiktok.

I don't, I won't but my faith in the government. Just research john D Rockefeller. He controlled oil, media, pharmaceutical, And more. Plus he suppressed a lot of information to. He was one the super elite that controlled the human population.

Just like they do today. Better do some reading in some books thats not on-line

@HumanEarth I'm really not too worried about it. I'm going to live my life, and then die. I don't have someone holding on to my arm, or looking over my shoulder 24/7, 365. I can't put energy into that. There's just too much in my life to worry about, because at the end of the day I can get all worked up and read all the books and do all the research of who's controlling what, and then I can stand back and say to myself, "now what did reading all those books and doing all the research get me?"

Like, my life isn't going to get any better because I read all the books and did all the research. My life will stay the same, and now I'll be more upset and worked up. It's okay, you can have all the fun reading and researching and have a better life because you know who's controlling who. As for me, I'm perfectly fine.

@SW-UserWhy do you believe that? Is the calculation based on science?

@Renkon yes all over the internet, in books, in a few brains atleast. Not making it up. I believe it because I like having the truth in my head unlike a big portion of my fellow murkans

@Ynotisay Are you implying that our differences are inherent to who we are as human beings? Do you think that the level of intolerance has reached a catastrophic scale? Or will everything eventually balance out?

@Renkon Yeah. I actually do believe conflict is built in to the human condition. I don't stray to far from the fact that humans are animals. Cognition separates us but that doesn't negate some instincts. Fight or flight, in its various forms, is applicable to humans too. And I actually don't think intolerance has reached a breaking point. But I do think what takes place online makes that seem that way though. And sometimes perception is just as important as reality. That's how things feed themselves. 👍

@SteelHands and yet world citizenship and the rule of international morality have many supporters among the poor!

@Roundandroundwego so sez you and the elite rags I will call the multinational monopolists.

However I, a man of means by no means, know otherwise.

@bijouxbroussard The final thing you said is a genuine thought. It wouldn't need to be altered if the oldermethods had succeeded. We must continue looking for solutions that could improve society's tolerance and peace.

@AlchemyFox Who do mean when you say 'Them'?

@Renkon it's a thought to ponder, but what I mean is those that hold power and use it for greed without a shred of concern of the impact or consequence it has to the people below them.

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout The truth will set us free. Whether you believe in the Bible prophecies or not “Revelation” means “revealing” and the word “Apocalypse” meaning the great revealing…tearing away (the veil of darkness”

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout And not only will the truth set us free it will piss us off big time. Have to watch for rioting this next time when it happens by those who are loyal to the country.

@cherokeepatti

@DannyW17 That gives hope.

@SW-User It's hardly the worse that it's ever been. Not even close.

@Ynotisay Yeah well we probably just know more about it due so much media and social media, the world is Drowning in too much information.

@SW-User I think you're absolutely correct about that. And it's not just the information but the misinformation that's at play.

@ExperienceDLT No way?

@ImperialAerosolKidFromEP Unite against a common enemy. Hmm... may be we will have to create one.

@LillyandJack Aliens seems to be the best shot as of now.

@Picklebobble2 9/11 seemed to bring people together, but even then you had people acting stupid

@Picklebobble2 Any idea what could unite us then?

@Renkon Not really. Wealthy nations have always ensured there's a distinct dividing line between them and their poorer equivalents.

Pestilences like Smallpox; Mumps; Polio Measles and others are still prevalent in some poorer nations even today. Despite the existence of vaccines for many of them being in existence a long time now.
So there's a medical disparity.

Economics ? Wealthy nations either taking over excavations and mining and refining then selling the end product at a price the host nations couldn't possibly afford.

In fact that scenario is true of just about anything from Africa exploited by huge Western corporations from fruit to coal to oil.

Even covid did more damage in poorer areas of the world.

@akindheart How big a catastrophe? What do you think 911 did to the society?

@Renkon any attack on the US unprovoked will be enough. 911 left a life long mark on this country. i would expect something of that magnitude because the instigators have no respect for us

@Ducky That's the last resort. But who knows..

@SW-User I loved Covid because I didn't have to see anyone at all.

@MethDozer I do miss lock down and social distancing ...

@SW-User that is the truth about covid not helping humanity for sure

@Magenta Absolutely nothing? Have you given up on this?

@Renkon It's not that I've given up on it. I just see it as the reality of it.

@Starcrossed Many people, for whatever reason, seem to be leaning toward an alien invasion. It appears like we have exhausted all other options.

@Renkon sad, isn't it?
We're probably beyond help.

@therighttothink50 What impact will such an event create?

@Renkon turn America into a third world country and make its citizens poor.

@Bleak Are you talking about Politicians?

@Renkon Oh wow!! Nice alternate name for the politicians.

@Dino11 To what extent is that possible?

@Renkon It would have to be non-human

@DDonde Do you think such entities exist?

@Renkon No idea

@BlueGreenGrey Profound.

@bijouxbroussard I don't know what we're missing, maybe some crucial DNA sequence, but we've had hundreds of thousands of years to evolve, and we haven't, and that past seems like a good predictor of the future

All we've advanced as a species is our technology, not our behavior or our values

Even existential threats to our species do not unite us, in sharp contrast to Hollywood imaginings like [i]Independence Day[/i] (which seems to be echoed throughout this thread, ironically) ... the pandemic, climate change, the nuclear era, the failure to regulate AI all point at the reality
