Or, Spread the Word About How "The World's Coolest Dictator" Cozied Up To the Same El Salvador Gangs He Pretended To Crack Down On (And The Trump-Assisted Cover-Up).
It is impossible for an ethical mind to embrace all the damaging forces in play. Criminals have always run states, it seems, in the few hundred years that there have been states to run. Ancient Greek history records gangs (tribes); Pharaohs and kings and potentates and whatever enslaved anyone they could. Now the criminals are allied to have the planet. Your summary report adds to the picture.
Estimates from 7 to 15 million of us stood up yesterday. Reminders such as yours may help encourage vigilance.
"Estimates from 7 to 15 million of us stood up yesterday. Reminders such as yours may help encourage vigilance." Yes, I certainly hope so, and I appreciate the kind words.
As to the rest of your comment, I do agree that the history of the ancient states (Greece, Rome, etc.) was rife with abuse, despotism, imperialism, and all the rest. And I am sure this is what you are getting at, but our job as citizens is to make sure we move forward from this era vs. trying to recreate it :)
But right now, it seems we ARE trying to recreate it, and you are right: "the criminals have allied to take the planet." It is a sad state of affairs, but it can change with the right amount of people power.
