RE: I'm losing faith in humanity
As a fellow Steemit user and someone who respects life, humanity, nature and much like most of the people on this community I dont think i am alone in seeing that this article is abbrassive in its assumptions. To clarify what i mean, to suggest that we dont understand what a genocide means or care because we haven't had one is ridiculous because if you open a history book it was only 70 years ago we had ethnic cleansing and genocide in Europe.
To suggest that we need to step out of our self absorbed bubble is a bit insulting considering most of the posts have some form of humanity such as life experiences, philosophy, nature, community, self sufficiency and matters of faith and health etc. Many people including myself have made personal sacrifices to change to get closer to humanity not isolated from it and they are bothered about Aleppo, as we are about all suffering, a lot of that is reflected in the posts they put up.
What can we do about it, stop putting crazy people in our government, take them to task so we don't keep getting involved in war, money should be replaced with currency like it used to be, the globalist nightmare is the true enemy not us.
I think there are more and more people who care about a higher value in life than just blaming other people for not cleaning someone elses mess, or assuming that everyone that doesn't march down the street is somehow insensitive to others pain. I think it is safe to say that we all feel bad about it and feel wretched about the death dished out in our name and taxes by those in power. All we can do is resist falling into any other ignorant and thoughtless systems that conform us to accept their axioms of thought and behaviour rather than being outraged and defiant to their lies, wars and social trends.
All the best otherwise
well said, but i'll also say the intent of the post is great in that we should all be aware of and vehemently oppose violence...especially of the institutionalized type! And like your response says, there are many people trying to prevent this type of insanity in our own ways. the primary cause of this type of mass murder is unrestrained government, so my personal crusade is to advocate freedom, respect for individual life, and the peace such things bring.
It starts my allowing governments to expand essentially unrestrained. Preventing such expansion is a necessary step in curtailing the extreme instances where governments get out of control. We should all remember this when voting on such silly things like outlawing people from drinking sugary soft drinks, or consuming raw milk...let alone mandating we buy health insurance we don't want, relinquish firearms (THE fundamental check on state violence), and forfeit nearly half our incomes (and hence 20+ years of our working lives) to the state...none of the supposed material gains promised warrant the risk of extreme violence enabled by creating all-powerful states. All of the resources confiscated by states enable them to wage perpetual war...luckily we have innovations like Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies that allow people to peacefully opt out of the repression machines, so i recommend that anyone who wants to prevent mass violence in the future put their money where their mouths are and opt into a peaceful free market world.
Thanks for the comment and thoughts, i liked what you had written and i agree with your point of view. There is a plan somewhere that doesn't look great for any of us is my thought right now. We are all trying to do something, raise awareness, tell the truth, homeschool and all these things which truly is a revolution against the established system of beliefs.
Whatever way you look at it we are all in trouble and we all share some responsibility for our fellow mankind as well as keeping the establishment in check. Somewhere we have failed to do that and i guess that is why we all are doing something somewhere that stands more and more for what is good.
I liked the look of some of your articles so i will follow and upvoted your reply, so thanks and hopefully hear from you again at somepoint.
likewise!
