The underdog perspective on World Wars

In the headlines and broadcasts the first world war was about limiting Prussian imperialism stretching its hand out over Europe and therefore the Aristocracy of Europe dealing in arms about their share of power. The second was turning down fashism before it was able to turn overkill and the third world war known as the cold war was about freedom either the capitalist or socialist way.

In all of these the underdog suffered, got killed, lost family, was displaced, cried and felt helplessness - the worst of all feelings.

For aristocracy gone mad "eat cake, if there is no bread" style the common is no more than cattle with some more useful abilities, for fashists there is one race the only worthy of living and breathing and in cold war the two main systems were in war, if the rich or the party member was the top dog on privileges.

A street musician has no way, practically, to get justice, if pop star icon Boy Topdog just takes one of his possibly even improvised performances and uses his reach to create millions. No way to proof and no lawyer that would even consider taking this to court. 
No matter how constantly brilliant and profitable your input into the company is, no manager has to give you a fair share relative to the money made.
No matter how much you outperform the others in any sport, if management just doesn't consider you a fit for the team....

The last wars all were about slavery put upon the underdogs. Now there is Corona and it came to stay for some time no matter how hard we ignore it.
The Pest came and ended on of the worst episodes in European history by pushing all of this continent into armed struggle and turmoil ending feudalism giving the renaissance space to rise creating the artistic, spiritual and philosophical grounds of all modern human progress we are so often so proud of.

Yet we talk and keep going the wrong way in every aspect. There is one thing for sure these days. If they address an issue, it will stay an issue. 
Human rights inequality, separating humans in races, climat change impact, unfair pay, exploiting natural resources, borders separating, migration out of poverty and fear.

If I read the signs properly, than there will be no dysantrop society, but war.

The Cyberpunk and Shadowrun utopias are in so many respects the ultimate dream of the very greedy, turning over religious and political fashism into turbocharged financial anarchistic capitalism. 
Instead of privileged clans, a somehow defined group of equals or a political almost religous idea, companies of enterprises will compete in conflict, based on the false idea that war or conflict creates progress by being in a constant struggle to survive pushing us to our limits. 

A thought by those that never will see or feel the beauty of Michael Angelos creations, that consider the Mona Lisa just a painting of a woman and that believe Bauhaus was all about lean production and therefore always will need slaves or enslaved creative minds they exploit in jealousy of their beauty. 

Even white man painters of the American slave markets could not in any respect hide the impressive strength of Africans put on display. Their willpower to survive, the jealousy of then European men believing to acquire them seeing their capability, the fear of the slave driver imagining them off chains and the basic biologic greed of the woman master.

Underdogs go to heaven, camels through a needle before rich man go, too, so Oscar died poor.
