China is a Nazi-level concentration / slavery nation. Iran is lately begging for war; I am not sure why. NK should have been leveled in the 50s. So , heh, we probably dont' see eye to eye on these matters.

But that's OK.

The rest of your vision is also just too apocalyptic for me. The despair you feel I know is felt by everyone in our generation.

The issue is, we're lviing in a nation whose legislative and economic policies have become the sole property of a financial elite who wants to horde everything for itself and destroy all opportunity for just everyone else.

Like with Zuckerberg's FWD.us. What we have here is a literal billionaire (do you have enough, Mark?) trying to pull economic opportunity away from people whose net worth isn't even 5000 bucks, so he can have even more. It's demented. This is just crazed sociopathy, and it's running our economic policies.

Or like Bezeos with Amazon, literally using his merchant's private financial data to see where their profitable sales are, then going into direct competition with them, again using their private sales leads against them. Wow. That's a psychotic need to dominate literally everyone you come into contact with. You don't even consider finding a win-win game.

Despite that, I fully believe in our system, even if we have to take some unprecedented steps to set it right. I hope you find something in the news or your life that gives you hope Violence just begets violence and nothing else. It's always a mistake, but one we keep making. If you hav e asystem, any system, that will give you better outcomes than violence will. Violence and chaos is what the first 20,000 years of our history were driven by. We're doing better now, by far.

Peace.
