Politics has gone viral

Politics, politics, politics



Politics is ubiquitous. Today we live in a world of politics, politics, politics [see photo].


Think of your old schoolyard at lunchtime and you understand the role of politics in your world today. In the schoolyard rules existed and these were "policed" by the teachers who roamed the whole area. And each new year there were more rules to monitor so there were more teachers on duty at lunchtime. Why?


The common reason used is the safety and security of the kids. This use to be all about the physical safety of children; but, now it extends to freedom of speech. The kids are being restrained in all manner of ways; however, the main thrust of all these rules is to deny risk taking by children. All this rulemaking, and rule enforcing, is at the core of modern politics. One reason politics has gone viral is that contemporary politicians treat adults as if they are still children playing in their schoolyard.


The modern political paradigm works if, and only if, the administration [teachers, clerks, etc] centralises power in ways that ensure they can totally dominate the mob [compliant, rogue, and rebel kids]. When central power dictates what you can do here, there, and everywhere you need more administrators [public servants, teachers, etc] to enforce an increasing mountain of mandates. If you are compliant with the new political mandates on masks, vaccines, speech, collective safety, etc then you will be happy to know that more of this type of control is coming to a bank near you. You will soon be forced to cede control of your financial affairs to your Central Bank [replacement of local banks] under its digital currency regime. In other words if you accept the collective ideology, or philosophy, that lies at the core of modern politics then you will accept, and often repeat, the mantra, meme, or chant that is the calling card for all who readily comply.


In summary. Modern politics is toxic. It is making people all around the world sick - very sick. Non-compliant people are sick of the lies, deception, corruption, duplicity, cruelty, and inhumanity of modern politics.


My afterthoughts...


Please read this riff once again... this time do it slowly and think long, and hard, about the ideas here. The reason to do this is because I wrote this for YOU not for me. I already know what I think about the impact of politics on me [I am conflicted about much of what is happening in my name... ha, ha, ha]... But that is not my reason for writing this riff.


Here I am encouraging you to think about the impact of modern politics on YOURSELF... not on anyone else... perhaps at that point you can determine what you can tolerate in the way of mandated political ideologies... you can better determine exactly where the limits of your tolerance lie.


Good luck as you begin, perhaps for the first time, dealing with your conflicting thoughts.


Richard.
