There is certainly much ground for pessimism about the human future, and for wondering if the Nazis might win world war two after all.
We've got a new bamboo curtain behind which are authoritarian regimes in South-East Asia. We've got a big woven curtain around the regimes of the former Soviet Union. We've got India under a nationalist right-wing regime that was voted in. We've got Orban and others in Eastern Europe like Poland falling behind a new fascist iron curtain. That Polish official in the Oliver video who said judges "could enter the building and be there as guests but cannot work there" was just like what the little phony church leader said to me when she didn't want any more discussions with me. We all live with horrible little bully bosses all over the place. We've got Putin, Xi Jinping, Duterte, Erdogen, General Sisi, Assad (the worst), Saudi Crown Prince MBS, The Ayatollah, Maduro, Bolsonaro, Kim Jung Un, and even the new PM of Australia, and other far right leaders getting lots of votes elsewhere, and then there's Donald Mussolini. Are we moving into a new information age of peace and democracy? Well, not so far. Bosses still rule, and we like that.

"A Star is Born???" I thought we just had that movie with Kris Kristoffersen and Barbra Streisand! What is the world coming to?
Come on Eric, Assad especially is a good person, he is really the rock keeping Syria from going under. Erdogan, the Saudi Prince, Putin and Xi Jinping and even maduro are good people. They are making hard choices that have to be made whereas over here, because of globalist bankster control; western governments have been prevented from making those necessary decisions.
