This applies more or less to other nations as well, increasingly so with "globalization", which of course is designed for just that purpose. The U.S. probably must lead on reversing this for, as it now stands, any other nation attempting to take a contrary direction will be demonized & ruthlessly attacked. The effectiveness of the propaganda system (which claims to not exist) is such that most U.S. citizens reading this would probably consider it extreme. Another difficulty that comes to mind is the growth of fundamentalist religious movements both in the U.S. and elsewhere. Their authoritarian, anti-rationalist, ego-driven values do not encourage optimism We, citizens of the planet all - our beliefs, our culture and our behavior - perpetuate the drift toward catastrophe. A mindshift is detectable glowing on the distant horizon and we might find hope there, if not for our species at least for ourselves . |
