Assad is worse than ALL other autocrats today, because of the needless, gratuitous death toll and destruction he delivered to his own country in order to suppress protesters who merely wanted his help. Mr. Cynic thinks that merely-self-serving, evil acts of the worst possible kind does not preclude the person committing them of being "good." I suppose judging and labeling someone is itself not a good thing, but extreme evil is evil, and it is a moral choice. Boomers are prophets who are concerned about morals, according to Strauss and Howe. That's fine with me.
My point is the rather-surprising rise of authoritarianism in our time. It seems to be happening all over the world. Mr. Cynic approves, but I do not. The Arab Spring era movements were risings for freedom, and at first it looked like more freedom would result. I predicted this rising, of course. But, of course, Uranus-Pluto squares rarely work out as hoped. Some other Uranus-Pluto aspects (like the famous conjunction in the mid-1960s, and the famous opposition in the early 1790s) work out somewhat better, although "meet the new boss, same as the old boss" is usually the way Uranus-Pluto revolutions turn out. Uranus-Neptune conjunctions work out well. Witness the movements of 1989-91, which I did expect would happen when they did, and which I predicted would work out well; as they did. I have theorized that the Uranus-Pluto events are the start of movements, and the Uranus-Neptune events finish them, as well as reshape world order (as they have done for millennia).
Right now, the authoritarian sign Capricorn is emphasized. So we have the old bosses back, or still in power, and other old bosses have arisen, often in the very places where the movements of the 2011-14 period happened to one degree or another. In the 2020s, we have a double sextile-trine between all three of these outer planets of modern revolution. These aspects are more harmonious, which is why I have predicted a more-positive outcome. The United States itself will be the major scene where this set of cycles plays out, accented by the fact that this is a modern-saeculum cyclic return, which is what these 3 planets also indicate, and correspond to as well.
How many other nations will be involved in this mid-2020s event, I'm not sure. Something I may have already written about, but need to look at further.
