What really matters?

The Social society?

Modern day society is more connected and more social networks have popped up... but can you really call spending ten hours on the computer really socializing. Remember the good old days when you met actual people and not just their "avatars". Their was a time when people actually physically met up, and didn't just press connect on their electronic devices. Now what?! People are too lazy to meet people anymore or have we just become so narcissistic that we need approval from strangers and we need to tell everyone about ourselves, we're doing half of the NSA'S job for them, can't yo see?

I know what you might think, who am I to criticize about social networks as I spend most of my time blogging. But I grew up in a time before all of this, and I made friends the old fashion way before Facebook and twitter, so I learnt social skills with people and not a computer. Children that are being exposed to all this technology now aren't gaining anything, they're actually losing and they won't have the neccesary tools to deal with the world. And just to make things clear, blogging is not the same because I'm not actually connecting virtually with anyone, I just write because I enjoy writing, when I want to meet people I go out into the physical world.

Stages of Empire

Stage 1: The age of the pioneers

 Stage2: The age of conquest

 Stage3: The age of commerce

 Stage 4: The age of affluence

 Stage 5 The age of intellect

 Stage 6: The age of decadence ..
 And a new entry especially for us:

 Stage 7: The age of STUPID.

 You have to be completely oblivious if you can't see what's happening,the west has an over extended and perhaps the most ill disciplined military, you have an increased number of individuals flaunting their wealth while the gap between rich and poor is wider then ever, people have an increased obsession with sex and celebrity- like that really matters! And above all else you have this collective delusion about how everything is normal. The rich have achieved something far more disgusting than an absurd amount of wealth, they have created this myth that they are better than us and that are happiness and existence relies on them- what a bunch of BS! They have also diverted the blame and made it so the poor fight with each other while they sit on an ivory throne.

 People really need to slow down and pay more attention to what's going on in the world.

Fascism never died...

.... It was just asleep for a long time. People would rather believe a lie than accept what is happening to them. The popular news may have everyone believing in the so called economic recovery, but does anyone really believe it? People are surviving on Food Banks and people are constantly getting screwed by these short term loan companies, more and more people are being made homeless but do you ever hear about it; no because the Kardashian wedding and the World Cup are more important that things like: growing food insecurity, the widening income gap and the fact that this is becoming a closed society!
# GOODBYEDEMOCRACY!

Fascism is first and foremost a cultural phenomenon before a political movement. The individual is made to feel like nothing and is forced into whatever belief that community has. Fascism came about as a revolt against modernity and the age of Enlightenment, one could say we are entering the age of stupid, it sure seems that way when you see which way people are voting and how easily people believe stories on the "news" without question.

Fascism is a response to the economic backwardness under capitalism, and what we have in place is not exactly Capitalism it is more like Crony Capitalism- so it is much worse! All across the UK unemployment in rising and living costs are rising at twice the speed, this is the melting pot for some very unhappy people. And when people are unhappy and when they feel they are not being heard by their representative they will usually turn to the people who say they can deliver and give them a sense of ( false) security, even if they have no intention to deliver on what they promised- like UKiP.

Another scary thing we have in common with Fascism is we have no free press, Journalist are getting harassed or even arrested for saying anything critical about the Government and corporations are deciding what kinds of policies are going to be made- even if it is going against the will of the people. Just take " Fracking" as an example, people have been protesting against it and it has been proven that the cost of doing it outweighs the benefits, but still they are doing it-and why I hear you ask... because big business wants it done and now the queen has made it so they don't even have to ask your permission if they want to drill they can just go right ahead and do it!

I have heard people say that we live in the " age of information", that may be true, but we have limited access to the information that matters because the powers that be think it is in the nations best interest not to know it, so we don't live in the age of information, we live in the age of distractions, so people don't realize that the rich are getting away with all your money and you are completely screwed. But hey, forget about it, the World Cup is arriving soon, that's whats worth getting worked up over not the simple fact that far- right policies are coming into affect but a game...

How can the people stay informed if you keep shutting dowm any alternitive view to your own?

Hypocritical B**tards!
