Political power doesn’t fear violence; it fears awareness. The path forward is for each individual to be honest and logical about their position in this world. When everyone does this and their voices are respected, justice will prevail. When the little man realizes he is little, that is when the big man becomes equal. Change begins when the people recognize their position in this world and see injustice for what it is. This will not happen under the current systems of oppression and miseducation and information control. We need sunshine.
Modern media manufactures consent. Political indoctrination spreads through endless bot accounts and bought and paid for influencers that reinforce the illusion of majority opinion. It does not matter the amount of these accounts, the simple fact that they exist erodes faith in human communication. Attention is gamified; perception is shaped by metrics and like-to-dislike rations, not truth. A concept coined Social Proof. Governments use this environment to justify censorship and to maintain a false reality that manipulates and controls us. We give up our nature and our connection for curated illusions; we abandon the written word for stimulation and distraction.
When each person realizes their position in the world and sees the frameworks that control us, power loses its grip. When political elites can no longer collude or obscure intention; when political assassinations are not used as tools of manufactured consent; when tragedy is not weaponized to silence reason, then justice becomes possible. Tragedy shuts down the rational mind and allows atrocities to happen. Whether committed by states or individuals, trauma becomes a tool.
The suicide hijackers who killed thousands of Americans set into motion national trauma; that trauma led many to surrender rationality and humanity in the name of security. Millions in the Arab world did not deserve to die by these United hands. They are labeled terrorists, yet their extremism grew from violence, displacement, and colonization imposed by the West. We created trauma and then feared its reflection. It is easy for a nation to agree to war when it is wounded; trauma lowers the barrier to atrocity. Peace creates peace. There is no true peace in the modern world; the West spent its peace conquering others.
After World War I, the Allies destroyed Germany’s economy and created national trauma, which helped give rise to National Socialism, a vile and disgusting ideology. A nation approves atrocities when stripped of dignity and wealth; desperation feeds extremism. Today, we allow kidnappings of honest people in the name of security and economics. We have given up the right of due process without our consent. Mono-corporations dominate global economies and governments. The health status of the banking system supersedes individual rights. Competition has eroded. This is the nature of representative democracy entwined with capitalism; economic power shapes political power and law becomes an instrument of wealth, not justice.
It does not matter whether ideas are good; it matters whether they can be funded. The rich remain powerful because they wrote and enforce the rules. Every member of Congress is beholden to campaign financing, even from grassroots supporters. Political ambition is inseparable from its funding structure, and so the cycle continues.
Awareness is the first disruption. When individuals know themselves, they cannot be easily manipulated. When people see the mechanisms of power, power must answer to them. Justice begins when recognition spreads.
