We stand no chance if we can't start seeing the reality very soon. The reality is that the american population is seriously ignorant, easily manipulated, and enormously egomaniac. Not far behind comes the rest of the world population..
This is happening not because we lack knowledge, books, or data, but simply because we chose the comfort of compliancy or surrendered in accepting the inevitability of hardship - depending on which part of the world we call home.
We are in submission.
On THAT foundation, for decades already, there has been a continuous imperialistic strategy that goes way back, way before Trump.
On top of that, add the phenomenal technological acceleration of the past few years, as it was predicted also decades ago. This acceleration enables a handful of financial and technological demi-gods to finally and furiously re-design the very fabric of human civilization.
We are in check-mate and don't even know it.
As soon as we will realize what's happening, we will very likely succomb to the seven stages of grief: shock, denial, anger, bargaining, depression, testing, and acceptance.
In theory, after that comes finding meaning in that loss. The problem is that if the moment of acceptance is actually a long enough period, a period that crosses a couple of generations, we will also FORGET. If we forget, the meaning we might find at that time will be meaningless within the present context.
There is a solution, albeit a very difficult one:
Just as technology accelerates towards the demise of our civilization as we believed it to be, so should we - accelerate in our understanding and recognizing the value of mutual support, and in our willingness to cooperate with each other.
But the signs do not look great. Humanity is falling deeper and faster into mistrust, exhaustion, and disconnection.
If we play this game, we will be played.
