Teach the kids:
The elite will happily throw some of its members to the sharks (even start wars) as distraction to preserve the system.
The guilty need punishing butβ¦
It's the system which is rotten, not just the guilty.
Itβs really about greed, power, arrogance.

Surely there are limits to how much the public will endure utter depravity, cruelty, perversion & lies?
I think so.

As the 'Global North' burns more and more energy for junk (see the AI 'actor'?), war, and mass surveillance, its pretence for concern about pollution is turned into... more and more money for its own elites.
Quelle surprise!
BUT... you can't fool all the people all the time.

'Carbon credits' are fake.
Always have been.

Anyone else find it a bit surprising that so many self-confessed 'English patriots' can neither write proper English, nor know which way up to fly the UK flag?
Bearing in mind... it's never been easier to look stuff up and run grammar/spelling checks.
Just saying.

Now that everything so obviously resembles a mix of Orwellβs 1984 and Aliceβs βwonderlandβ, one might remember two key tests:
1) follow the money;
2) cui bono, who benefits?
Thereβs no need for any hidden βconspiracyβ when particular sectors of a society seek the same goals.

One good thing to have come out of the appalling tragedies of recent years is that the scale of the elites' self-serving corruption, nepotism, hypocrisy and criminality has been well and truly exposed. It wonβt be put back in the box, however much they seek to control everything.

Starvation has long been a favoured weapon of colonial subjugation and land theft, as any history student should know. British rulers have been masters at that game for centuries.

Isn't modernity wonderful?
As we ponder this, here's something written in 1668 by Hans Jakob Christoffel von Grimmelshausen.
"Wonβt all those different holy men stir up their congregations with their various faiths and manufacture another war?"

The Telegraph slammed the BBC for βchampioningβ Bob Vylanβ¦.
But the Telegraph forgot to mention it gave Bob Vylan a glowing four-star review last year and trumpeted that they βhad somehow established a mood of feel-good catharsis."

Kind of surprised I'm 80 and still standing - born a natural socialist/humanitarian despite being surrounded by racists, zenophobes, misogynists, patriarchal laws and social norms.

Only the people united by class solidarity taking direct action can stop fascism from tightening its grip further.
