Short Sweet and to the Point

Sometimes I lament the global state of affairs and the complacency of the majority that would rather, it seems, allow a tiny group of mega-wealthy psychopaths to lead them to hell and ruin than stomp them underfoot like the cockroaches they are. The mega-wealthy today are criminals pure and simple, they have stolen most of their wealth under the noses of the global majority and yet THEIR status quo continues: needless wars for the profit of the few, mass murder on an industrial scale, huge disparities on every front and yet the status quo continues, give sanity and reason a break! Nothing is able to resist the popular will once mobilised, and so if YOU want peace and real freedom then EARN IT, and take back OUR world before the psychopaths make it uninhabitable.

Most people are living in a media dreamworld while the real world is fast becoming a hell hole, the news today is like a page from the diary of person trapped in hell, so when it affects you, and be sure it will, just remember YOU allowed it all to occur simply due to the fact that you were unable to pull your thumb out of your arse and take responsibility for your own life and the lives of your fellow human beings.

That's the long and short of it, WE/YOU all of us, are RESPONSIBLE because the real power for change has always been exercised by the masses -- and if the masses do not exercise THEIR prerogatives then nefarious, malevolent minorities will take control as has happened today even as I write this for posterity.

From Oxfam - inequality report:

How privilege and power in the economy drive extreme inequality and how this can be stopped

The global inequality crisis is reaching new extremes. The richest 1% now have more wealth than the rest of the world combined. Power and privilege is being used to skew the economic system to increase the gap between the richest and the rest.

A global network of tax havens further enables the richest individuals to hide $7.6 trillion. The fight against poverty will not be won until the inequality crisis is tackled.
