Is it just me, is is all bullshit just meant to polarize the people? (Conspiracy)

All of it. Specially lately the SJW bullshit is meant to separate the people so we don't fight against the government and Wall Street (or whoever the big enemy is)

Worst part, you're all falling for it. You concern yourself on the SJW issue too hard and forget about the bigger picture. Both sides are getting played, but neither side is going to win. It's happening everywhere with so many things, and you're concerned with yourselves and who is right and who is wrong and what color their skin is, but you don't stop to ask who's pulling their strings?

Sorry, new to conspiracies, maybe I'm just crazy.

Divide to conquer, and then divide to rule. This has been played out on so many occassions that I, like you, wonder why people continue to fall for the same bullshit.

There are 6 billion or so people on this planet, each with their own opinions and judgements which they essentially believe to be right. But how can any of us be 100% right - if one of us actually is, then the other 6 billion or so must then be wrong?

It frustrates me that we don't focus on our similarities such as wanting a safe and comfortable life where we are given time and support to explore our separate interests and talents for the benefit of each other.

Because history is cyclical human beings are stupid, all of us, me included...

That's why I can't read books about the rise and fall of empires anymore, it is too depressing. I used to love reading about Byzantine history, but watching their bureaucracy inflate to the point of total ineffectiveness, watching them destroy social programs at the expense of a huge defense budget which helped usher in their downfall, watching their currency inflate because they didn't have a proper understanding of economics, it just reminded me too much of New Rome (read: America), which is my country...

Meowth had it right back when I was a kid.

To protect the world from devastation!
To unite all people within our nation!
To denounce the evils of truth and love!
To extend our reach to the stars of above!

Yo but for real, Meowth is right.

Maybe we're not supposed to be in empires?

The introduction to Polybios discusses these cycles. When I read it at 15, I thought he was making excuses for Greek failure in light of Roman success. Now... yeah... I think he had it about right. But we're not empires. We're people. Yard apes! We have the same freedom as the monkey! We are not beholden to laws in books! We can steal the ripest of fruits, hump the most swollen of asses, and fling poo at all our enemies! We don't have to further the progress of New Rome. (Why would we ever pick Rome as the model? It's better known for its inevitability and doom than its enlightenment and continuity. Fuck it, Vandal tribesmen seemed like yard apes to Romans.)

No, we are not. Our brains are primed for in-groups of no more then several hundred and we are simply glorified apes, but we can achieve so much if only we work for it!!

A great read, and an even greater master to learn from; Polybius ha much to teach us. It is a shame that standard western curriculum does not teach the great ancient Mediterranean thinkers...

But I do believe America is the new Rome, one of the reasons being it won't last...
