How do you impose love?
One of the things I most love about Star Trek, is that Earth is at peace. There is a one world government of all nations that, in the fictional world, is part of a larger "Federation" of planets. It is a wonderful make believe world where the peoples of Earth have finally put aside their national and cultural identities for the greater good. It is the world I hope and pray is in store for future generations.
On the other side of the fictional realm is a closer to reality presentation called The Hunger Games. For those not familiar with the books or movies, it is a make believe world where the "provinces" have their assigned production quotas of whatever the state "Capital City" designates for the greater good. The provinces are kept in compliance by force and in order to placate the masses there is a yearly contest, like the NFL Playoffs, where participants from each of the provinces play a deadly game to determine the winner. The winning Province is rewarded with increased rations for the year, thus "The Hunger Games." The Capital City inhabitants live in luxury and decadent splendor, as befits their elite positions, as rulers of the world.
I truly do want the Star Trek world but I am absolutely certain we don't get there via The Hunger Game method.
It would be different if humanity had evolved to the point where all the various nations of the world were comprised of democratically elected governments, but it has not. We do have
some, but we also have communist dictatorships, theocratic depots and just plain dictatorial controlled cesspools of corruption. In the end it really does not matter the form of government, because once any form of government develops a permanent ruling class, you are headed towards The Hunger Games.
How do you reach the Star Trek utopia without the consent of the people? How do you, as the next Time magazine heralds, "reset" a world without asking the people if that is the world they want and more importantly how the ruling class plans to get there? It is rather simple really, you pretend that this new system will wipe out all the evils and replace them with good things. So the question is, how do you impose love? How do you impose kindness and peace?
Certainly a global pandemic helps, I mean we are talking about people's health here, put on your mask citizen, and while you're at it I have a few words that you are no longer allowed to use. A few weapons which are now banned from private use and we expect respectful, unity and civility towards each other, especially your betters. So much for deconstruction of suppression.
Force comes in many forms. Obviously there is physical force, but there is a much more deceptive and evil form of force. The tyranny of "for your own good" is the worst tyranny of all.
It is almost always imposed (forced) on you without your consent or even your knowledge. This of course means you have no say in what is good for you, others decide, dictate.
That is what is happening now, the ruling class has determined that this is a good time to reset, remake the global order. Mostly because they did such a terrible job with the old one. It is all very subtle, meaning that it has not been put up for a vote by the masses, just a decision has been reached by the ruling class and they have determined this would be a good time make some changes. They just want to Build Back Better.
You can see that right? It is for your own good.
When people say this is the most important election of your life, it is. You are in essence voting for or against The Hunger Games.
