I hate the NWO and the freaks with a passion but this Disposable Consumerism, resource plundering, greed for money, endless population growth trajectory we are currently on isn't sustainable, something was going to have to give eventually.

I cant help but feel that disposable consumerism, resource plundering and greed which are exalted in most isms are the reasons why there might be an issue with endless population growth.

The only way any of this ever changes is if we actually act. Protesting to revert back to what has failed the people in the past seems so counter productive to me. The only sensible thing to do is to create a better way, such as one that is not ground in materialism or any other current or past ism for that matter.

The thing is, what was, at least in the beginning was solid. Things failed because the elites kept undermining and corrupting the government. The founders never intended for corporations to ever get bigger then governments, and safeguards were in place.

They never intended politicians to become a career, more like a term limited meeting only a few times.

Same with a standing military, never was intended. Only a National Guard was intended. The government would just call up people for duty when needed.

All of these things and more were changed by the elites.

So how do we safeguard against the same thing happening again in the future utilizing the same system that ultimately failed in the first place? Especially with how our history seems to repeat in a cyclic nature. This is the ultimate question that I am afraid does not have an answer and those who defend our constitutional republic do not want to consider. As long as you have a representative and a system that promotes materialism over everything else, it is hard to conclude that we would get different results. Shouldnt the goal be to improve the future instead of dooming it to past mistakes?

I have to wonder, do we have the opportunity here to 'break the wheel' to borrow from a very well known series? Would people even desire to do so? If so, would they be willing to put the required work in to manifest a system that actually gives power back to the people as opposed to a select few?
