  • Not much scarier than a health crisis in a country where healthcare costs have been known to ruin lives. Interesting, seeing as fear has been historically used to influence populations. Same vein as uncertain financial futures, they tend to terrify people.

    Why must we be inundated with terrifying outcomes everywhere we turn? Friends and loved ones being snatched off the streets. Making it bureaucratically difficult for certain populations to gather documents needed to leave the country.

    Where does it end? Civil war? War with NATO? What fate are we being shuffled towards? One that the history books, under the piercing light of hindsight, will no doubt refer to as, “Regrettable.” Or worse still, “Avoidable.”




  • The comments in this thread remind me of something, I forget the original medium, but it was about fairy tales.

    Paraphrasing, it spoke about how people passed along fairy tales, not because of our belief in dragons existing, but to reassure us that dragons can be defeated.

    Also I recommend everyone watch, or rewatch, V for Vendetta. Many may suggest reading it, which is absolutely as valid. However, as a fan of movies, Hugo Weaving’s performance is in a league of it’s own.
