why don't we, as people, stand up for our beliefs and end the terrible things going on in the world right now?

Question

We let the government run us when they are supposed to be an extension of us. We as a nation could stop the gas price gouging and make a difference

Answer 1

The US has stopped being a representative form of government. It hasn't happened over night, of course, but the end result, what we have right now, is a non-responsive, non-representative fascist-type government. Don't merely think of "fascism" as a put-down, or a derogatory slang word. I don't mean it that way. I mean "fascism" as a description of the type of government we have now. It's not fascism like Hitler, but it's still fascism.

Fascism is a form of extreme right-wing ideology that celebrates the nation or the race as an organic community transcending all other loyalties. It emphasizes a myth of national or racial rebirth after a period of decline or destruction. To this end, fascism calls for a "spiritual revolution" against signs of moral decay such as individualism and materialism, and seeks to purge "alien" forces and groups that threaten the organic community. Fascism tends to celebrate masculinity, youth, mystical unity, and the regenerative power of violence. Often, but not always, it promotes racial superiority doctrines, ethnic persecution, imperialist expansion, and genocide. At the same time, fascists may embrace a form of internationalism based on either racial or ideological solidarity across national boundaries. Usually fascism espouses open male supremacy, though sometimes it may also promote female solidarity and new opportunities for women of the privileged nation or race.

Fascism's approach to politics is both populist--in that it seeks to activate "the people" as a whole against perceived oppressors or enemies--and elitist--in that it treats the people's will as embodied in a select group, or often one supreme leader, from whom authority proceeds downward. Fascism seeks to organize a cadre-led mass movement in a drive to seize state power. It seeks to forcibly subordinate all spheres of society to its ideological vision of organic community, usually through a totalitarian state. Both as a movement and a regime, fascism uses mass organizations as a system of integration and control, and uses organized violence to suppress opposition, although the scale of violence varies widely.

Fascism is hostile to Marxism, liberalism, and conservatism, yet it borrows concepts and practices from all three. Fascism rejects the principles of class struggle and workers' internationalism as threats to national or racial unity, yet it often exploits real grievances against capitalists and landowners through ethnic scapegoating or radical-sounding conspiracy theories. Fascism rejects the liberal doctrines of individual autonomy and rights, political pluralism, and representative government, yet it advocates broad popular participation in politics and may use parliamentary channels in its drive to power. Its vision of a "new order" clashes with the conservative attachment to tradition-based institutions and hierarchies, yet fascism often romanticizes the past as inspiration for national rebirth.

Fascism has a complex relationship with established elites and the non-fascist right. It is never a mere puppet of the ruling class, but an autonomous movement with its own social base. In practice, fascism defends capitalism against instability and the left, but also pursues an agenda that sometimes clashes with capitalist interests in significant ways. There has been much cooperation, competition, and interaction between fascism and other sections of the right, producing various hybrid movements and regimes.

The press and all media, sensationalize any small event to sell newspapers!!! If they don't exagerate the truth or un-truths, they don't sell papers!!!!

Oh and my friend just came back from Pakistan, and he says three is no termoil there! Sure there are 20 people protesting, but the MEDIA magnifies this to the WORLD!!!!

Answer 3

I think there are two main factors at work

1) People don't know what they could do, as individuals, to stop these terrible things (which is why we need people like you to tell us).

2) Most individuals can't do very much by themselves. For every Martin Luther King there are 10 million people who can't solve the problems of society because they have too many problems in their own lives. But if many individuals work in unity, and we all do our part, we can solve the problems of society. We just need to know how.

Answer 4

by using removing the depraved as promised at Psalms 37:10-11 as quickly as devil's impact on mankind is bumped off alongside with people who persist along with his lead, then the righteous could have an threat to actual "exhale" and start to stay the genuine existence that Jehovah has continually purposed for the obedient ones who love Him. p.s i admire your questions.

Answer 5

Because we don't have a voice anymore, as all our government representative have betrayed us. Jefferson warned us that our government needs to be overthrown every 20 years. So we're behind in that about 11 times.

There's plenty of oil in the world, and it's always being created, not by fossils, but by plants. Bush and his screwy family are Texas oil men. Just as President, Bush could just tell big oil to stop the rise of gas prices, but he won't. He's allowing prices to rise because he wants our country to collapse. He's a globalist Illuminate foot soldier working for the Rothschilds of England and the Rockerfellers of the US who want to take over the world by getting rid of every country so they can plunder and use everyone as slave laborers. But first there are too many people, so they have to reduce the world's population.

Have a good day. LOL

Answer 6

Because where two people believe, two people believe differently. No two opinions are the same - and the human animal is too competetive to easilly compromise.

Amplify this by the amount of people in the world... and you have a heck of a lot of people all believing they know the Only One Truth.

Answer 7

We are about to go into another American Revolution. This time it's going to be for real . . . I don't mind telling you. The U. S. Department of Defense is not going to seed too well with this new up-coming liberal diarrhea that is going to hang over Washington for the next several years. Actually, I don't think that we will last through the next term of office. This time, there will be several hundreds of thousands of American citizens who will die, as modern-day weaponry will fall into the hands of the common ole-everyday-American citizen. The Defense Department (Pentagon) will deliver as requested. But finally, we will win our country back. Of course, I will probably be one of them to go early. And for sure, I will be out front leading the troops, as did Colonel William B. Travis, of The Alamo fame. But for sure, I won't be alone. There are several hundreds of thousands of citizens who have had it with this hell-hole called the United States of America!! They, just like myself, won't go down without a fight. If it means that we pay the ultimate, then just go right ahead and bill us! We are ready to pay! Let's get it!!!

Answer 10

I am ready.

And I say that 100% sincerely, and 100% seriously.

I've talked it over with my friends for a while. I have a feeling it is going to happen, and before too long.

If they take away our guns, our right to defend ourselves, then it could happen sooner then you think.

People are fed up, and rightly so. Someone should make a website fedup.com they could call it.
