How about more boring and a lot less war, genocide,

How about more boring and a lot less war, genocide, and economic insecurity? I have to admit, the constant adventurism model of daily living has grown so old, and I've found that I look more forward to boring than I look toward advancing some politicians dream they are representing me. They are not.
The world has been taken over by speed freaks. Why does anyone think being constantly bombarded by a million choices, moral decisions, rationalizations that for the most part don't even affect most of us in the nation that produces conflict at every turn and is merely a smokescreen for keeping and sustaining the fires burning in the rest of the world, as well as burning the rest of the world up.
It is paradoxical that the minor differences between the majority of republican and democrat citizens have been manufactured by the constitutional arsonists of uncommon sense politics we have been governed by for decades.
Are we really afraid that there are enough bullets, bombs, and hate pointed at our freedoms by another people who have as much interest in preserving their way of life as much as we do?
We have been manipulated, coerced, made afraid, and controlled by self-serving interests on the one hand and, worst, by men and women who have nothing but greed and power in their hearts.
How is it that we have come to believe that men can solve the problems they themselves have created? And how is it that we can come to the conclusion that we, ourselves, have not been complicit in our own stupidity by falling for the snake oil/poison salesmen? How is it we believe that all these people claim to have our interests at heart and yet they never listen to us?
How is it that these men and women believe they are above us and must restrict us with ancient, medieval, pre-industrial mythologies and beliefs about the world that have been dismissed as unable to help us or prevent us from helping each other?
Money or the lack of it is not the center of our problems. Value placed on work, regulated by monetary interests, banks, corporations, national interests all reflect power based on racial/ethnic supremacy and economic hierarchy.
The only uniting factor among all the leaders in every nation on earth is the consolidation of economic interests and this is done by both violence and resource management/control, and the de-democratization of all nations.
Americans look to themselves for saving the world from itself, but it's actually a revolution in the other parts of the world that will save them from America. Trump is giving a good head start for that to happen. The big question will be how many countries will understand that it isn't their militaries that have been sucking resources from their own coffers that will save them but their ability to turn their backs on America's self-interest and look to cooperation and divestment of American interests. International banks, corporations, and bad politicians will attempt to thwart this nation as rebellion and resistance increase and as America's influence wanes (except in the interests of war) other nations can and hopefully will form new alliances and cooperative institutions.
We are too far along to continue to "evil" storytelling about our nature. Fairy tales, folklore, and creationist universalists beliefs are no longer useful. Our eyes are open to those who try to blind us. Take evasive action.
