What country is considered good? What country and leader could you honestly say is upholding human rights at home and abroad? What country has a history of protecting its people and progressing their country for the better? What country also protects the environment above profit and stripping it for its resources?
None.
Across the globe there is a problem with elected officials and the governmental systems and bureaucracy that shackle the public suppressing everyone no matter where they live. What does make the difference is money and money alone. The more money one has, the more influence one has. THAT is the problem. It all comes down to money, not people, not our planet, but money.
People do not matter.
Our planet does not matter.
World leaders only respect money and profits.
World leaders make contracts, sell arms, create trade deals, build bases, secure contracts for resources, and all of these deals are meant to buy the other country’s silence so they look away when a party to that contract commits atrocities. In each of those deals are millions of lives that are affected and given a horrific life sentence of servitude to the deals made between these countries. In each of those deals the environment is destroyed and pillaged to extract precious resources at the cost of crucial ecosystems. All of this so that one can commit crimes against humanity and the environment and the other profits monetarily.
World leaders will remain inactive when they could protect millions of innocent lives. They are telling us through their inaction that profit matters more than lives.
This is why they all must go.
This is why they all must be voted out.
This is why it is important to vote third party.
People are demanding a permanent ceasefire for Gaza and only South Africa and Malaysia are taking a stand.
No countries are speaking up and taking steps to aid Sudan.
The Rohingyas, Armenians, Uyghurs, Burmese, Venezuelans, and Afghanis are all desperate for safety and need asylum in other countries but denied this basic human right. None of these people should be attacked and persecuted in the first place. There is no compassion or empathy from leaders. There is not even a flicker of care for humanity and those in need. They simply protect one thing and that is their profits (not their people).
Where is the country that defends and helps these people? Where are they?
Why do we allow our leaders to create such a world of evil and putting profit before people?
We can change that if everyone can see and understand that they have the power to change that. The more people who take action to make changes are the people who can free this planet from oppression.
We have the power.
Elected officials seek to control people and resources. There’s no care or concern for the public, it’s all a power grab. WE have to change that. If we do not then our world will only continue to dissolve and disintegrate.
I don’t advocate for violence or uprisings. I do advocate for being ungovernable when your government breaks laws and has an expectation of you to follow them. I do advocate making changes through voting. One thing I do understand, though, is that there will come a time when things become so untenable that there could be uprisings and that would not surprise or shock me. If the constituency attempted to be heard repeatedly and the government refuses, then people could resort to more drastic measures. That is when all else fails, and I have hope that not everything will fail.
In the US, the two-party system has taken a life of its own. People pledge allegiance to party and not to country and democracy. Both the Democrats and Republicans are conservative and do not represent a major swath of voters. Neither party allows any criticism or critique, which strangles any progress to be made because there is always something to be learned or done better in governance. It is not a dig, it is a suggestion on how to help more, be more efficient, protect more rights, which are all concepts integral to the Constitution and should not be seen as an attack. That is part of the role of an elected official, listening to voters and acknowledging what can be done better and where there are failures. Being honest is something lost on politicians, and now a person is subject to attacks if they are to question an elected official, even though that elected official’s authority is only present because of those who voted for them.
They do not want to represent us anymore. They want to represent money.
They do not listen to us anymore. They listen to money.
Why would we all choose to continue this same path with these same tired politicians running an oppressive sham in which the world and all the people on it suffer? All of that money goes to a select few in power while the overwhelming majority of people on this planet work tirelessly, à la Sisyphus, to support the oppressive structure.
We have the power to change that.
Vote third party.
End consumerism.
Keep protesting.
Keep boycotting.
Our voices should be heard and respected. There should be dialogues between the government and their people. This should not be a radical concept or extreme request. Meaningful discussions between voters and those holding office is absolutely crucial for a representative government and democracy. If that is not occurring, the system is broken and is failing. Elected officials do not want to admit these failures and instead are grabbing for more rights and freedoms from their constituency (this is not an issue for just the US but for a majority of countries). The US is a fascist autocracy playing as a democracy, as are many other countries playing as a democracy.. What is even more appalling is that the power grab of elected officials extends everywhere over both people and resources in far away places (colonialism). The more people under their influence, the more land under their influence, the more profit they gain.
Let’s unite and vote them all out.
Keep the faith in democracy.
Vote third party and clear the board.
From the river to the sea, may the whole world be free.
Vote 3rd party. Boycott. Protest. BE UNGOVERNABLE. Volunteer. Organize. Donate. Share the stories, news, and history about the people and countries that are being attacked. Please extend your energy to all people and countries facing genocide and atrocities- Palestine, Sudan, Congo, the Rohingyas, Armenians, the Uyghurs, and West Papua.
