It is no coincidence that dictatorial governments gain prominence as the global economy suffers; it is extremely difficult for people to remain vigilant to tyranny when they are completely distracted by their own survival. It gives government the power to dictate and mold behavior by inspiring self-censorship.
Our society is undergoing a fundamental transformation that is absolutely breathtaking, and some of the changes have been positive. But many would argue that most of the changes have been negative, and the truth is that we can see evidence of this all around us.
The social decay is “the tendency for society to decline or disintegrate over time, perhaps due to the lapse or breakdown of traditional social support systems.” As a society, we are more disconnected from one another than we have ever been before, and perhaps this is one of the big reasons why so much anger and hatred are growing all around us.
At this point, a large portion of the population doesn’t even seem to possess a basic level of empathy and compassion for their fellow citizens, and that has frightening implications for the future of our nation. Because we are so disconnected from one another, it is very easy for each of us to get intensely focused on the details of our own daily lives. But when we step back and take a broader view of things, the extent to which our society has deteriorated is quite stunning.
Through inflationary or stag functionary pressures, low wages and the inadequate job market are combined with exploding prices. This makes survival for many people untenable without government aid. Great civilizations of the past were destroyed when people saw these signs but failed to act.
Hundreds of millions of poverty stricken people in India’s sprawling urban sewers are voluntarily giving up their bio-metric data in exchange for government aid programs. India’s government has been hitting the news feeds lately as the Supreme Court recently ruled that the controversial Aadhaar bio-metric program is legal. In a nation of 1.3 billion people, around 1 billion have already been bio-metrically profiled in a national database. This data can include fingerprints, iris scans and face scans. It argued that India is a rather odd place to experiment with such a database, considering 60% of the population is under the poverty line and most people barely have basic amenities. Again, financial desperation and a lack of productions skills tends to produce subservience. Each of these indicators is with us today. The lack of a greater purpose or mission in life and the nagging realization that the average person has no productive capacity creates a palpable atmosphere of desperation. They do not own their own work, and they have nothing much to show for their labor; nothing to point at and say, “I built that.” The public gets to the point that they may even welcome an economic collapse simply to escape the drudgery.
It had provided a standard in judging education, legislation, and behavior-both public and private. Not much progress toward equality for all has been made by the government since long. However the decline of civility and the rise of the unhinged hatred that we see today have never been seen on such a scale before.
Under the guise of pretending to care about minorities and women, the government is advocating the overthrow of our priorities. And we must understand that their advocacy for ‘revolution’ is steadily becoming more violent and brazen. No doubt the government gave statements that the killings and atrocities must be controlled and declared these killing gangs as radicals’ domestic terrorists, though none of them were ever arrested for their violent actions and punished. This is resulting in encouraging and becoming more and more threatening.
Undoubtedly administration is monitoring these people, but the question is this: At what point does the government take their threats more seriously – serious enough to make some arrests and charge some people with criminal activity? It’s a potent indicator that these extremists do not intend to back off or de-escalate their actions anytime soon. In fact, we are forced to expect them to become even more extreme and violent, especially if government continues to felicitate and encourage criminals. They should be dealt with before someone is killed.
Tyranny is often seen as a sudden and inexplicable development in a society; we have been told by popular media that this is how it works; that during hard economic or social conditions men with charismatic personalities and evil intentions suddenly rise to the surface and take power by promising a better world in exchange for public fealty.
But where did those economic and social crises come from to begin with? Were they a natural consequence of the era, or were they deliberately engineered? - The reality is that people are psychologically conditioned to trade freedom for the illusion of safety. Every attempt at a totalitarian framework inevitably elicits a rebellion.
The citizens are fed up with fighting against the economy and have no sense of independence. These people do not know how to solve their own problems; they are always looking for someone else to do it for them. The politicians are happy to suggest their own predetermined solutions to the public once the financial structure hits a point of maximum pain.
The system is based on the idea of "maintaining trust", but whose trust? Well, the government's trust, of course. Trust is measured using a social credit score that is tracked over a citizen's life. This is why mass surveillance is evil, regardless of whether someone is breaking the laws or not.
