#truedemocracy

[futureofgov]

If we want to change things in the world, we need to recognize what is really wrong and fix that first.

We need to stop using the word "democracy" so much because, at present, it doesn't exist anywhere in the world.

If we want to END ALL THE WARS around the world, we need to create real democracies first; where the power of politicians is reduced and the powers of citizens and experts are increased significantly.

If we want to solve our development planning and policy challenges, we need to build real democracies.

If we want our lives to get better, for society to get better, only true democracies can pave the way.

Learn more, ask questions, share it, talk about it. Let's start working towards societies of the future; and it can all happen now, in our lifetime, and for our children.

Who Else is Sick of the Puppet Show?

In today's world, it seems like every turn we take, we’re greeted by the grand theatre of politics. It's a show filled with dramatic entrances, scandalous plots, and character arcs that could rival any soap opera. But as captivating as it might seem from a distance, the reality is much more disheartening. Politics has become nothing more than a sick game, and many of us are fed up with the puppet show.

The Illusion of Choice

One of the most frustrating aspects of modern politics is the illusion of choice. We're often presented with two or more candidates who, on the surface, appear to have different agendas and solutions. However, scratch beneath the surface, and you'll find that many of these politicians are backed by the same corporate interests and influenced by similar lobbying groups. It's a rigged game where the players might change, but the puppeteers remain the same.

The Cycle of Scandal and Distraction

Political scandals are now so frequent that they barely make headlines. What should be shocking and unacceptable behaviour has become the norm. Politicians from all sides are involved in corruption, deceit, and hypocrisy. Instead of addressing these issues, the media and political strategists often use them as distractions, keeping the public focused on the sensational rather than the substantial.

Empty Promises and Hollow Victories

Every election cycle, we are bombarded with grand promises of change, prosperity, and progress. But once the elections are over and the dust has settled, these promises often fade into obscurity. Politicians prioritise maintaining their power and catering to their financial backers over delivering on their commitments to the electorate. The cycle continues, leaving the public disillusioned and distrustful.

Polarization and Division

Another sickening aspect of the political game is the deliberate polarisation and division of society. Politicians and their allies use divisive rhetoric to pit one group against another, creating an environment of hostility and mistrust. This strategy ensures that the public remains divided and distracted, making it easier for those in power to push their agendas without facing unified opposition.

The Puppeteers Behind the Curtain

At the heart of this political theatre are the real puppeteers – the wealthy elites and powerful corporations who pull the strings. These entities have the resources to influence policies, manipulate markets, and shape public opinion to serve their interests. While the public is entertained by the puppet show on stage, these shadowy figures continue to amass wealth and power, often at the expense of the common good.

So, what can be done to break free from this sick game? It starts with awareness and education. The public must be informed about the true nature of the political system and the forces at play. From there, it’s about demanding transparency, accountability, and genuine representation. Grassroots movements, community organising, and active participation in the political process can help reclaim power for the people.

We must also seek to bridge the divisions that have been deliberately sown among us. By finding common ground and working together, we can challenge the status quo and push for meaningful change. It’s time to move beyond the puppet show and create a political system that truly serves the people, not the powerful few.

The current state of politics is indeed a sick game, one that many of us are tired of watching. The puppet show has gone on for far too long, and it’s time for a change. By recognising the illusion, rejecting divisive tactics, and demanding accountability, we can start to dismantle the puppet theatre and build a political system that is just, transparent, and truly representative of the people’s will. Who else is sick of the puppet show? It’s time to rise up, reclaim our power, and create the change we desperately need. 

Remember THE REVOLUTION WILL NOT BE TELEVISED!

Oh , yes ...I’m daydreaming of the summer already. The summer days when my toes are wiggling in the sand, the sun is warming my skin and leaving freckled kisses behind. The days spent listening to reggae and the ocean crashing and foaming into the sand repeatedly. Enjoying life. Even the seagulls laugh in the background at all the joy. And the best are the long stares into the horizon looking for everything and nothing at all. Well maybe... mostly... we looking for the day to never end. #daydreaming #summer #summervibes #pensacolabeach #nolaphotographer #nolaphotography #beachbum #reggae #bobmarley #rootsrockreggae #truedemocracy #steelpulse #sunshine #florida #floridapanhandle #nola #blackandwhite #blackandwhitephotography #instablackandwhite #peaceofmind #toesinthesand #oceanwaves #ocean #saltlife #seagull #originalphotography #vacationtime need to be with #nature (at Pensacola Beach, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/BteuqOPgLn5/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1rdfw0xexu8pq

We must protect those that are protecting us. Every drop of blood spilled from our men and women in blue is a wound inflicted on our nation _ *President Donald Trump* Nigerian President should take a clue from this. #truedemocracy #uspresident #nigeriapresident #africa #protectlawenforcement https://www.instagram.com/p/BrkllUrg4BPhnZwgoLANe3PeJ6nezjZSJhmNyU0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ibqya7jiuhef

The world has joined in as the #BlackLivesMatter movement goes #worldwide. After the murder of George Floyd, citizens globally #marched in #nonviolentprotests from #England to #Australia. The demand emanating from this diverse coalition is clear: we cannot have #truedemocracy when some of us are treated like #secondclasscitizens and we will not be silent in the face of #racism. One of the best groups pushing for substantive legislative change is @campaignzero. They have ten #pragmatic solutions to reduce #policebrutality in the #UnitedStates. The top three I would like to see implemented are 1. #policebodycams (which benefits both officers and the accused) 2. #limituseofforce retraining and implementation 3. and #independentinvestigations for officers that break the law. No one is above the law. I respect the #police and understand that they have an extremely #difficultjob, but we can no longer just say there are a few #badapples. There needs to be systematic changes for us to uphold our constitutional oath. #BLM #BLMnyc #blacklivesmatternyc #newyorkcity_ig (at New York City) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBfxiybDrwF/?igshid=1b1euib0onovz
