What you can do to remove the shackles of Imperialism
What you can do to liberate your minds and uplift your
spirit
OF TELEVISION, VIDEO GAMES, CULTURE, MODERNIZATION, AND SOCIETY...
MODERN society at the beginning of the 21st century is undergoing a monumental transformation
into dimensions bordering on the surreal.
As capitalism exerts tremendous pressure on parents to become machine-like, efficient-seeking,
Puritanical work ethic slaves of the corporate Leviathan the television has become parent,
teacher, role model and best friend to our youth.
It is manipulating, conditioning, brainwashing and programming their minds, creating obedient
drones and unthinking sloths. Attention spans are being made extinct, collective amnesia is
all-encompassing and anti-depressants are replacing candy as our children's yummy treats.
Relevant news and valuable knowledge are considered boring, not fast-paced or hip enough in a
society born with a remote control in hand. Reading, the great empowerer of minds, has been all
but abandoned by our young generations, replaced by the video game and the television.
If books bring knowledge, which enables power, then television creates ignorance, which fosters
mental indigence.
Parents have stopped teaching, rearing, raising, disciplining and loving.
Children have stopped learning the concepts of human interaction; they are losing all semblances
of empathy, discipline and knowledge. The corporation now owns our youth's future; the state now
engineers their minds.
Capitalism has eroded happiness while birthing depression. It has programmed us for its wars and
crimes, making us subservient and acquiescent beings. Like a marionette it controls us, pulling
all the strings to get its desired results.
Into the tunnel of the surreal our society finds itself, trapped in darkness, shackled to murky
walls of shame, seeing the light at the end of the tunnel yet unable to move an inch away from
the corrosive grip the latter stages of capitalism have on us.
In time this economic form of governance will implode upon itself. The wickedness of its
existence and the demons of human nature it resurrects make this truism an inevitability.
The exploitation, subjugation, and greed it fosters will one day soon force it to collapse under
its own weight.
Too many people are made to suffer; too much inequality and injustice roams the planet. The
symptoms of its disease are presently wreaking havoc on modern society.
The signs are visible to anyone who can see how fast the degeneration of modern society has taken
place, coinciding with the enormous rise of crony capitalism that has created unsustainable
levels of consumerism, materialism, waste, unhappiness, corruption and greed.
The implosion of what today we call capitalism might take ten years before it commences,
perhaps fifty, yet in human history this is but a hiccup of time, a mere nanosecond in the vast
history of Earth.
The love of the almighty dollar and her sister greed will be the downfall of the capitalist
elite and the sinister form of governance that continues to devastate our society, our
Earth, its lands, air, water and inhabitants.
The eternal darkness of the mind is but one more sign of an inevitability that is
beginning to creep over the horizon.
In time, it will be the masses who will one day awake, once more ready, willing and able to
experience a human renaissance, standing up in the face of everything malevolent that has taken
place, demanding change and an evolved form of economic governance based upon the principles of
equality, justice, morality and worldwide humanity.
The vicious circle of capitalism, where only the few benefit and the many are in essence
enslaved cannot sustain its circular motion for very much longer. The weight of its own crimes
and the decline of its historical path are cracking its foundations.
