If we look at the two current primary issues in america today, migration/immigration and israel/palestine, historians should note, as well as we, that these issues convey a sense of futility and weakness in the capitalist form of democracy that exists here. We live in a representative democracy rather than a direct democracy, which has deteriorated into corporations not only being "registered" as individuals/persons who wield tremendous "representative" types of influence on our democracy.
The issues between technological advancements such as deepseek and openai are consistently running up against the cold war formula of always remaining stagnant because of the differences in any particular country's current relationship to another's.
The cold war formula is the basis for stagnancy in most of the world's economic and political discourse and action.
As i mentioned above, issues like israel/ palestine are complex but because certain national factions are indulging in a one-dimensional dialogue with themselves based on military and economic strategy, solutions based in a far more diverse conversation are impossible. You can bet that when you have a group of powerful nations gathered together with absolutely no dissent amongst them, there is little that will be accomplished.
I think that with israel/palestine for seventy odd years there has been one consistent, unstated position among the supporters and benefactors of the israel state that Palestinians were never going to be part of the "free will" landscape, both literally and figuratively.
With immigration, american history has provided another disembodied from reality. From native genocide (a version of immigrant overthrowing indigenous) to chinese celestials, to settlers, to european escapes, all the way to mexico-central america migrations, the prominent disarray of the american political system is strongly evident.
The inability of warring nations to reconcile what they feel is irreconcialable is the largest single block to the prospects of world peace, it becomes more imperative for we to change ourselves to beings who are less and less influenced by the world they created for themselves and listen more to the world that's been around for billions of years.
It's not back to nature we must go but more to realize our own nature in a future of climactic and social change. It's obvious that change is going to come and at this moment, it will not be good, all the more reason for us to act now. Life will never be perfect but it can be better when we understand our place in it. We are not the center of the world nor are we unable to make our own way. We are builders, creators, community/social oriented, conscious, intuitive but also, we are animals-both predator and growers, both lovers and haters, both kind and cruel, so how do we change?
First of all, we can stop letting the haters tell us how and who to love, stop the predators from telling us we must kill to live, stop the cruel from keeping us from each other.
Stop! Ignore! Resist by non-compliance!
