Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity

I am a firm believer people are stupid. Well not stupid but disinterested. Disinterested in the topics, in the world, people, events that do not concern them explicitly.

Am I saying conspiracies are wrong? No, just often result of incompetence rather than some brilliant plan devised by dozens of people.

We are still living in a world controlled by the elite and that isn't changing anytime soon. Money, education, debts, is this all planned slavery or is just a side effect of the system? Who knows and both sides could be argued. But the fact is, the system, current capitalist system is pushing the division between rich and the poor. Always favoring the rich, centralizing power and money in a controlled group of individuals.

The poverty has been rising all over the world, the few richest people on the planet control more and more wealth and this is the trend currently. This is indisputable. The question is what caused it.

But undeniable is the fact that it is happening. So what will we do about it?

The system supporters will tell you it just has to be like this, because it always has been and compared to history, we do have less poverty than thousand years ago and advances in medicine, health, quality of living has extended the average life span for decades.

But where do we set the bar? In words of wise Cameroon, the bar is too damn low. We can do better. We should do better. We must do better.

We must, not for you, not for me, but for our children and the generations that come after.

So my point is, the system is corrupt and it favors the few percent on top. Whether is intentional or not is irrelevant at this point but we do need to do something about it.

And let me finish by saying a few things which will not bring us to this end, like Brexit, war in Syria, immigrant ban, a 200m wall around Europe or USA, none of these things will help us *fix the system*. Not even war with Russia or China.

So ask your self next time, why am I voting for that guy?

The saying from the title comes from Hanlon's razor.
