I have this personal belief that a lot of problems in this world would be solved if we ended poverty.
The mental health pandemic, conflicts, corruption. It all gets exaggerated because people can't fulfill basic needs or even pursue happiness. People are then more easily weaponized and subverted.
A little rant here, but I blame liberalism and US politicians purely for abusing their influence on a worldwide basis. Not that Europe isn't part and parcel of the issue, but if we look at Nixon, Reagen, "new public management", "trickle down economics", not to mention subverting US labour in a capitalist persuit to export manufacturing and fabrication to COMMUNIST CHINA, we see that "leaders" of politics and industry ruined modernity with their hypocrisy and social manipulation to justify degenerate greed, narcesism and idolatry.
I don't think it was fully intentional. I truly believe they have swallowed their own KoolAid - in that they are delusional, as well as degenerate while wearing "the emperors new clothes" and manipulated politics to conform to their delusions. This should be the issue of our time, in that poverty can be eradicated if we just got our collective heads out of our asses.
End rant.
Lovely rant!
