But, we expect The Avengers to arrive and smash the bad guy rather than see what is going on around us with the understanding that they are attacking us to destroy us.
The only defense is us doing the same. Not some hypothetical army, not some super hero. US.
We won't do that.
So, we fall. And, fall. And, fall.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
The fact that this has not happened shows that we prefer things as they are. The fact that this corruption and degradation of our government is not a new thing, just the latest thing, shows that we don't want to change anything. We prefer the bias and the worship of greed.
It disgusts me, to be honest. Recently I have been wondering just how many German citizens were doing the same thing as their country was overrun with extremism. Just sat and expected some mystical group to rise from nowhere and save them. Or using the corrupted and rigged governmental system to try and stop the corrupted and rigged governmental system.
It did not happen then, and it is not going to happen now.
Call me whatever you wish. If I am wrong, I am wrong and will say so. As far as I am concerned, there is only one way to save us. I just hope enough of us realize it before everything is ruined in the name of a little green piece of paper and the whim of Nosferatu McGobbels, thru that spoiled little nepo-baby.
