An armchair cursory glance of history to date and the stages of dystopia

 So I think I may be obsessing a bit on this and I'm thinking there is a HEALTHY dose of confirmation bias in here but I keep coming up with more examples and just a quick mental glance over history you can see the beginning of it starting with colonialism. Now before you interject let me preface this by saying the first fully evolved "species" so to say of a dystopian society, as it's a cultural phenomena only to humans. There are the proto beginning's well documented in the early civilizations, furthered by the large global expansionist civilizations (ME/Byzantine/Macedon/Greece/Rome/Mongols/China/India/et al.) but they are the precursors the mitochondrial dna agct parts that gave life to the colonial evolution in humanity's next steps. Sadly I equate our journey as one of chaotic madness that can only be described as hell. For those who are able to actually wake up out of this onslaught of lies and propaganda that is permeating the world. You are brainwashed by 7, I firmly believe those words... (trying to recall where i heard them drawing a blank...)

So colonialism is the first seed of the dystopian beginnings of today. From those early beginnings the global trade networks were established enough that the world had become interconnected, albeit at a snails pace but that would change as science and innovation take off. Next you have the industrial revolution and it would be all downhill from there, any remnants of what freedom was, went out the door back then. This is one of those instances where I have to explain my thinking and it's really one of the most difficult things to do, because as a writer you are trying to evoke a connection with you the reader to provide not just an analysis of the information that is FREELY available to all and clearly spells out everything that I'm trying to tie in with other bits of history, science, world events, and the human condition (what is means to live and go through all the things we go through as a human good or bad), because far too often the conversation becomes shanghaied by evil people. Now this is not to be confused with the ignorant masses, which really is about 99% of the population.. if I've read enough about self awareness and critical thinking and sociology and human behavior I get a bit of a clearer picture.. I think. You tie all these pieces in.. which only leads me to think there COULD VERY WELL BE more information out there, but I don't think it'll alter one fucking iota of what the fundamental core issues are.

 So with the Industrial revolution things went downhill fast, So we were connected more and connected faster... locomotives.. telegraph... steam engines.. the future was then. Think about the technological jump from daily physical labor to a machine that can now do it in a quarter of the time. HELLO!! John Henry.. our god damn past is littered with fucking examples of what happened when machines TOOK OUR JOBS! Then we have the evolution of war with WW1, the war to end all wars... 

20 years later...

WW2 happens, as does the advancement of war.... We delude ourselves too much.. because humanity is evil. Those who control us are the true evil, those that send us off to die all for money... For money is the primary reason. Innovation brings prosperity to those countries that oppress others for cheap resources. All the industrialized capitalist countries exported terrorism in the repression of colonial territories in a number of ways, either through economic means, militaristic occupation or trade agreements, embargoes, support of repressive regimes, and the list goes on. United Fruit Company is just the tip of the iceberg. 

Now to back up a bit I said that the 1800's were probably the beginning of the end, specifically the Industrial Revolution as it's also well documented of how oppressive it was and is still to this day. We've just been brainwashed to think that it's ok, because well that how we've always done it. STOP!!!

That is the worst excuse to keep doing something and not actually take the time to objectively evaluate. They said that shit with slavery and that is the GRAND DADDY of them all of bad ideas... zoophilia being another. So with right of law taking the land (right of law is good only if it's relevant to the event and can be enforced, but again here is another realm of questioning that needs to be explored. It's obvious to me that the entire system is prejudicial because it takes a position of authority in very unequal and inequitable terms aka it's rigged from the start). One of the things that the system like tos to say is that ignorance of the law is no excuse however I argue then how is the law being fair and impartial if one party enters in knowing full well that they have hoodwinked the defendant? Is not the basis of governance to execute fairness for all the people... is this not some sort of ingrained human code since per-civilization?? (A bit hyperbole) Not too mention the historical proof of the corrupt institution rulers & judges have always been know for, so now we are expected to believe that through some miracle that precedent from before was an "oops my bad" for the governing institution which has set forth generations of harm upon the people with those who've abused their positions of power for so long that they are a parasitic cancer and any attempt to remove does so at the 99%'s existence as well.

So any semblance of what "freedom" then meant was long gone, so in a sense when people say it ain't what it used to be.... well not shit Sherlock.. time marches on and your not the only person on this planet who goes through life and it's experiences. Some shorter than others. Some have it better than others. So think on this shit, I have the ability to write this because I was lucky.. yes luck an AMBIGUOUS as vague of a word I can use.

So I'm not 100% on any given subject nor am I 0% on any subject, I have a level somewhere in between.... well there are things that I just don't consider so in a sense those would be 0%. Typically things that have to do with harming others... I have a conflict with animals (dietary related & science testing but also realize where we'd be without) and find myself migrating to a more vegetarian diet. Nuance.. Nuance.. Nuance.. life is soo much about nuance... it really is not a black and white situation. 

So Back to the IR and loss of rights, look at all the tumultuous event occurring in the world then, but yet again as a fucking backwards species we can't see anything past ourselves. Which I know is crap and we could grow to something amazing, but I don't believe that entirely. I just see humanity locked in this struggle that appears to be a feature and not a bug.. but is it?

 Still conflicted on a "full commit", only because I know that evolution will continue, regardless of whether humanity is involved or not.. maybe.

 

So to sorta condense things a bit... IR accelerates the bridging of the world at it's core is the means to conduct trade, build wealth, via roads, highways, railways, communications, and ever evolving technological innovations to further strip the world of it's resources and vestiges of humanity (WWI&II).

Corporatocracy takes hold with Smith's book, further entrenched by trade deals and bureaucratic bullshit established by the same evil characters as today. The Stock Exchange is another chain attached...  propaganda by these corporations comes pouring forth from the US about a red scare after WWI, continued in the 50's and today. Again look at the history of oppression the US has exerted around the world at the behest of a "national interest" aka $ and the US will stop at NOTHING to achieve their end goal. But the US is not the only one guilty of this... look around the world, look at history, examples are littered. 

Further corporate interests advance the erosion of any sense of democracy this country had, now it's all an illusion. You are a commodity in the eyes of marketers and they are using every means at there unlimited funded disposal at taking away your money and your rights.

So then We see the erosion of jobs and industries in the US... then the Internet... another step in the further downward spiral of humanity and our society. It joins us... but separates us even further. 

The young don't know what the old do... we can see the storm.. well some of us can.. those who can read the signs.. and it's called fucking history and seeing how it all morphs and evolves!! Repeating with these fits and tantrums...

So as we have it.. we are fucked. Money.. Greed.. Ignorance.. humanity... evolution.. biology.. genetics.. instinct... epigenetics...

 

Marketing is everywhere.. you can't escape it. We have no real freedoms, just the illusion of them. I'm forced to work I have no options... it's all controlled and sanitized and manipulated by the corporations who own everything, including the politicians who write the laws that give them this power. Government is there to keep you distracted, or entertainment, or sports or insert everything and anything that keep people mentally distracted from the horseshit reality of life... it is all a lie.

The dystopian future we fantasize about is here.. and it worse because it's boring... and the real future dystopian tech is around the corner.. give it a generation or two...
