the UK? Small T?
Well that is what I am trying to tell you and recruit you for. The existing Authorities are failing and that is not a bad thing, it is a predictable point in a time line within The Dark Modernity which is part of Industrialisation.
You may choose sides.
There is as great chance for an even worse abusive system than The Nation as there is for going back to Republics and it will be sorted as much equally in the Floors, the Streets and the Underground.
Soon, there will be no National Projects anymore. Germany almost failed entirely to get their Capital Airport into function and now Rockets fail to even launch.
This will get worse.
In the beginning of the last Century when Marx wrote about the new factory machine world could go wrong having suggestions that were both misunderstood and falsley interpretated the existing systems failed to prevent a scenario way worse than the market collaps by monopolisiation Marx seeked a solution against. The world faced fashism coming as socialism and in may shades of what means "togetherism".
Republics defeated Feudalism like Kings defeated Tyranns to give base for their citizens freedom in selfrule. Republics will have to come back filling the vaccuum of national priviliges failing to serve the socio-economic system of citizens and that means ultimately that the human as a citizen, a rebell, a neighbour has to do something instead of awaiting the Nation do something for him.
Sounds familiar? Is more difficult than you think having a corrupt priviliged Policing Service around you covering having kept an abusive inhumaine character and attitude, because history teaches that only brutal violance will end that form of tyranny.
For most others it will be the emptiness of being a Havenot while the Haves go nuts in nations far far away having no helpful solutions or suggestions, but making money with those.
Actually, it is easy. Do good when you can. It is the make your bed when you want to change the world idea of Admiral McCraven he catched at a GI bar in a chat with someone of his colour. If you want to change the world make your bed as the first thing in the morning after standing up. That way you have fullfilled successfully the first task of the day and no matter how hard you fail you will come back to the pleasure of a made bed ready for you trying again next day.
Trying to fix the car, trying to get the house clean, trying to get cheap food, trying to get a job, trying to sell something you don't need anymore, trying to get a reason to smile ontop of the made bed.
That's all of general advice possible being realistic in world becoming more complex to make it out alive of The Darkness.
