Charade of Democracy

We dear readers no longer have a life of safety and happiness in our naturally uncivic mindedness. We’ve lived lives asleep with our privilege, credit cards, debt and rubber-stamped guilt way too long without keeping ourselves educated and awake to governments’ corporations’ charade of democracy. Regard for national security and happiness comes out of world wide initiatives by cartels that, through omnipresent marketing and advertising, would want us presuming our best interests are theirs.
… Critics of capitalism often argue that any form of capitalism would eventually devolve into corporatism, due to the concentration of wealth in fewer and fewer hands. A permutation of the term corporatism is corporate globalism. John Ralston Saul argues that most Western societies are best described as corporatist states, run by a small elite of professional and interest groups, which exclude political participation from the citizenry. Refer corporatism: Reference dot com.
With initiatives excluding citizens’ participation, one wonders whether paid lobbyists’ or environmentalists’ campaigns are setting corporate agenda, or enviros have bought into endorsing corporate doublespeak. Nonetheless, via media, religious governments and corporations attempt to thwart citizenries’ imaginations by fear associations—boils on the butt of humanity.
Now that Internet provides information to which no other generation has likely been privy, the convoluted rule by fear instead of democracy is not lost to many Earthlings. Human beings are observing miseries of masculine combatives in evangelism and religious fundamentalism; masculine bankers’ whimsical control of interest rates; taxation without proper representation of females; egregious plummets of natural resources perpetuated by male dominations; horrendous world wide sex trafficking paid for by small and secret male corporations with no sign of stopping.
Many citizenries, apparently none within our united STATES OF AMERICA, are crying out, ‘We’re fed up!’ When it comes to being naturally civic, paying attention to the charade of democracy, it’s no secret developed countries’ educational systems have been lead astray.
Our constant curiosity
is key
to watching what’s being created.
