What is to be done?

What is to be done?
Evil must run its course because there is no moral imperative or cure. Evil is our problem. It depends on and is composed of all that humans fear and don't understand and of course, leads into all religions, or national ideals (which have taken over the duties of religion in the modern world).
Both religion and its progeny, nationalism or dedication to idealistic democratic or political institutional loyalty, which have both demonstrated throughout history they're incapable of moving human imagination beyond the confines of a limited physical and spiritual existence.
There is something within us that rebels and also acquiesces to "evils' charms.
Every nation and every religion becomes at once a liberator and an oppressor, but neither nation nor religion can act in accordance with their own principles, ideals, or, as in the case of religion, beliefs. Mainly because both religion and nationalism rely on beliefs that are anti-thetical to real universal truths or constructs, and I mean universal like in universe, the one thing we know so little about because we believe we're the best the universe has to offer, that the whole damn thing is made for us, and there's no need to explore any further.
I read that the two Voyagers that have been stretching out almost to the edge of our solar system for decades now have reached what scientists think is a plasma like cloud surrounding our solar system, a possible "wall" to further exploration. Maybe we can draw on our current "wall" experts to put their heads together so we can breach it, and continue our migratory illusions.
If we really wanted to slow immigration, we might quit propagating the worldwide illusion that America has something different to offer other than the same o, same o conflicts, murders, and , most importantly, values of all the dictatorial and oppressive environments everyone comes from.
Migration is as natural and commonplace as any natural law. The fact some sort of "ownership" makes it easier for anyone in any dictatorship doesn't make it something other than migration. How many people in the various middle classes of all the so called civilized nations move to other homes, cities, jobs? All of them. The fact capitalistic economics demands and depends on migration, and that demand and dependence has gotten worse over the decades since the capitalized, consumer revolution took place right under our noses, though we've known or smelled that hidden corpse of corruption for awhile, though not recognizing it for what it is for a long time now.
Actually, we've never gotten out of the medieval ages when it comes to the natural, social relationships based on work and authority, like who tells us not only what to do, but, more importantly, what needs to be done. If someone tells us we need to build another huge monstrous rocket to the moon, those who have the ability set right to it. Money does the talk. People who think they need jobs, listen. No one asks nor rejects on the principle of asking, what in the fuck is that for? How does anything done actually make sense within the social order except create survival for some and starvation for others because we've left the economic realm of equilibrium. Many are left on the brink of a built in genocide, starvation, poverty circle without it having anything to do with future progress.
In fact, we no longer know what progress is. For some it is going backwards to a time they didn't understand and for others it's going forward to something that's only imaginary and magical thinking.
We've all lost touch with each other because we've demanded more than what we need and now because of that, we've created a need that surpasses what can be met.
All this means is its real survival of the fittest and of the neediest, the most selfish, and the most individualist, and, it looks like, the meanest.
In the Middle Ages, the church ruled the rulers, but this was a universal human construct, whether it be the Catholic Church, Islam, African shamans, tribal migratory invaders, and over here in the Western Hemisphere, Aztec and like minded civilization's.
Then, as history shows us, the religions and their cohort armies battled it out over the world's population's body counts, somewhat peaceful coexistence. Most people got along in small communities everywhere because of each person's contributions and neighborliness. Then the armies of religions came and guess what? Whoever was in charge started making the rules. Who was in, who was out. Who worked, who lived, who died. Then when Charlemagne changed, when the Spanish came, the Portuguese reigned, the English sailed the seven seas, nations rose to take the place of their gods who seemed to be passive and unconcerned about right and wrong ( according to the new gods) became the new lords and masters of what was left of good will and coexistence.
Slaughter and gold is all that is left, except the massive amounts of stupidity and selfishness, which can't be measured except in terms of sadness or hopelessness.
Believe me, there's not a dimes worth of difference between the old shamans, Kings, queens, parliamentarians, congresses, presidents, premiers, and dictators of the past, present and it won't get any better in the future until we, the so called people change into vampires rather than remain leeches, riding the back of sharks and swampland dwellers.
Yes, I know, blood will still be involved.
