I share the same opinion OP. I am a Christian living in the middle east. I don't know if you are aware of what is happening here but it's on a downward spiral. The world IS fucked up and has been for a long time, it's just that it has been relatively peaceful for a couple of decades and that gave us the impression that everything is fine.. if you look at history you will see that it's mostly made up of wars and shit

First off, to get it out of the way, I am, unfortunately, and Amerifag. I have found that I am practically the only one who doesn't believe that we are improving the world by shoving our foot down every other country's throat and claiming that we are "liberating them." I also seem to be in the minority to think that the US hasn't fought a legitimate war (in the sense that it was fought to protect American citizens or soil) in the last 50 or so years. And most of all i seem to be among a handful of people who can comprehend that the USA cannot exist forever and is quite likely nearing its destruction as a nation.

>>562957523

That is exactly the attitude i never understand, the idea that things can never be improved upon how they are now and that they couldn't be changed anyway. If that frame of mind had been the dominant one throughout history I bet we would still be eating berries while squatting in a cave. Also I never said I had better taste than anyone, I just feel we should focus more on things that are more significant than what celebrities are dating for the next two weeks.

>>562961515
We'll you are correct. Maybe a revolution or a complete governmental reform would put an end toy your countries evil congress which is fuelled by the ignorance of its people, the complete disregard of the very same people who work the country and are sending those said people to war to fund their country. If america hand no bullshit wars then they would collapse. Why do you think they needed Russia to attack the Ukraine? America and the Ukraine instantly blamed Russia for MH17 because they needed an excuse to attack, does not sound like 9/11 at all, even though they found out later that it was Ukraine. Their government is driven by war taxes.

Well, I'm American, and I agree with you OP. But I think we haven't fought in a legitimate war since the 1800s, and only because I never studied the real American civil War.

Isn't that all the more reason people should be upset? Where is all of the civil disobedience that an informed public should be enacting? Why isn't there any dissent about what is happening? You would think that in the country that brags about being the best in the world people would notice something is wrong and do something about it.

>>562962954
I think that's more of a distraction. The biggest problem with America's politics are the dual citizen Israelis who are American politicians, and the "Jewish" lobby for Israel.

>>562957523
Or you could use social media to spread disinformation dividing its citizens while waging was against them and their belief and social structure.

>>562963612
We'll that's because the governments in Europe and Australia are supporting America and if they are in the wrong it's all the sudden justifiable. The people in those countries are seeing that now and are getting mad. Their riots are quelled though

Everything, everywhere has always been corrupt and run by personal gain and interest, and always will be. The current state of affairs is nothing more than the ultimate human pasttime.

>>562963707
Did you see what the Jews did to Palestine recently? They distorted a city complex with air strikes. It was not reported on the news but instead a YouTube channel; and when they retaliated suddenly they are the ones in the wrong

>>562964874
But one must assume that the intelligence of the general population has increased even slightly over time, and hopefully at some point that intelligence will lead to the conclusion that humanity as a whole can do better if we can only set aside our differences and work towards a better future.

Well I would like to hope that at some point people will decide that their lives and freedoms are worth fighting for and take a torch to the structure that has long oppressed them.

You guys are just so wrong.

There are always wars because political parties and nations are always in conflict over resources. The weak constantly attack the strong looking for a way to bring them down.

There is no black and white and there is no way to be be friends with everyone. No matter what your foreign policy is, your country will have allies and enemies. Enemies who will do everything within their power to destroy you, your culture and your lifestyle.
Iraq is no different with their internal conflict and small sub groups getting wiped out. This is how it has always been, and how it will always be.

>>562965579
Even if world peace miraculously happens that doesn't mean that there cannot be deceit below the surface. The relativity of conflict in the world has little to do with how much corruption there is.

>>562966148

We simply need our people to begin voting and educating themselves about politics again. Better vote while you have the option is IsIs gets here I doubt they would allow you the choice.

>>562957523
I see it OP. But what can you do, you know?
What they don't want us to know is this generation is bigger than the baby boomers. They created a culture for u. They took away music and gave us pop, they took away news and gave us reality TV. They took away our education or ability to think and gave us smartphones.

It's all a ploy to control the potentially most powerful body of people. But my fellows have eaten it all up and ask for seconds.

What can you do?

>>562967881
Racism wasn't really a problem back then, was it? I mean everyone hated everyone, and they all knew their place. Now today whites can't hate Black's, no one can hate Jews and the Mexicans are the modern Irish.

The only delusion is thinking that it hasn't always been this way. But at least we are living longer, that's an undeniable fact, and I like to think a good thing.

>>562957523

>>562968383
I wish i knew /b/ro. If I had a plan on fixing things I probably wouldn't be here right now, I would be out doing it. For now I just hope that I am not among such a small minority that things will never be allowed to improve.

It seems like the governments of the world have finally perfected the art of authoritarianism. They have raised a population that is thoroughly convinced they are free, and reject any opposing notion even if it is backed by evidence.
This population is docile, apathetic, and thoughtless.

I think the last hope for some kind of revolution lies in South america, or in some place like Africa or the middle east. Without a gigantic cultural upheaval, it seems that we are utterly doomed.

However, once a libertarian socialist (aka non hierarchal or anarchist) society is achieved somewhere, and the people there are happy, and it's proven to work, it will likely catch on like wildfire through tools like the Internet.

The real challenge is keeping it alive after it forms, and before it spreads. Because once it becomes clear that hierarchy is an unnecessary abomination upon mankind, those in power will do everything they can to stop it. Even if it means killing every last person there.

This is what happened to Catalonia, 1930s. If you'd look up interviews, those that were part of the anarcho-communist society said that it was the most profound and beautiful thing they'd ever experienced. Realizing the danger it posed, fascist Spain and communist USSR invaded, slaughtering hundreds of thousands. George Orwell himself joined the Catalonian army, it was the fall of this society that inspired him to write his famously dystopian novel 1984 as well as Homage to Catalonia.

I told them to stand up, to participate at Protests, everything.. I Made the stand out of the mass, May i dont hold still contact wth all, but when the time is come, they will be my allies.
