Question

What tangled webs we weave..

When humans forced to live desperate lives are confronted with injustice that spans generations and ongoing campaigns of lies–the human despair –while the powerful wail that they are the victims of terrorism.

The question here is who are the real victims. People who have suffered injustices for generations, Examples: The blacks who were brought to the US as slaves and then were denied the right to vote or get a proper education or a proper job or decent housing for decades before the civil rights movement started to turn things around. Another example: the poor and oppressed camposinos in the Latin American Countries who were murdered by the army or the corporations when they started to protest the conditions under which they were working. Another example are the South Africans who were a majority in their own country but had no rights for generatins and had to resort to terrrorist tactics before they won the right to go elect their own leaders. There are other examples which can be given. You tell me.

I have already said too much. My question was meant to ask what picture or situation did you see when you read those words.

Answer 1

This is a statement concerning mans inhumanity towards his fellow man .
With wealth and power must also come wisdom .

Todays wealthy lack any wisdom it would seem and in their greed will further oppress the people till it reaches a breaking point .

Reading of the despair and injustice and cruelty that was abundant in our recent history I find the October revolution one of mankind's finest moments of retribution against the ignorant who sit on high and dispense little compassion for those who built the gilded towers within which ignorance is born . I am for a 100% inheritance tax .
If your own family is not willing to trust you to care for them and wish to hold on tightly to the wealth they have taken from those around them then certainly at their death it should not go to anyone but those who made it possible . .

Answer 2

That's a really good question! I actually can't tell. The sentence has three minor clauses that don't connect, except by improper punctuation. We've got a "When" and a "While", but don't know the "What". What happens when humans are forced to live blah blah blah? What about human despair? What's happening while the powerful wail about terrorism?

Is there more to the quote, or some context available?

Answer 3

You get rebellion and terrorism when you piss people off. That's why when you have a policy of any kind it's always good to think ahead....but let's be real...who does that anymore?

Answer 4

That fear is being used as a tool to keep the poor and middle class under control and allow the wealthy to accomplish their own agenda without opposition to it.
