East vs West

[ionelv]

I know this is old news (2018 footage of Uighur prisoners): blindfolded people getting lined up and put on a train must be just as the honorable Chinese ambassador said, a simple prisoner transfer (not much different then say Americans getting rounded up off Portland streets by CBP tactical units into unmarked vehicles and taken to safe locations for questioning). 

Yes, I am being facetious, since Chinese reeducation camps are years-long attitude correctional facilities that help their residents achieve their full potential as model citizens, and American officials are still bound by their constitution's errata (most of the time), but watch the gap close between East and West as 

1. the West's attitude correction gets better and better outside designated (re)education facilities, and

2. left leaning groups are often high-jacked into doing the bidding of the police state, and labeled as terrorist, and

3. extremist groups (right) are allowed to progress mostly unimpeded and are slowly evolving into paramilitary correctional shock troops, and

4. groups are pitted against each other in divide and conquer schemes (e.g. white vs non-white, liberal vs conservative, Christianity/patriarchy  vs the rest, order vs anarchy), 

5. habeas corpus is eroded further and further in the West in the name of anti-terrorism, anti-anarchism, anti-drug-trafficking or anti-X (insert your favorite scourge here), especially 

a. as the drowsy sheeple begin noticing the grotesque nakedness of their local non-emperor (grabbing them by the p*ssy) and 

b. as more and more start opening their eyes at night when the mafiosi are offing their leaders one by one, and

c. as the 95% start noticing that unbridled capitalism's promise of riches is but a slowly decomposing turd concocted by the 0.01%, polished and plated by the 5% (vs faster decomposing turds we witnessed in previous attempts, e.g. empire, dictatorship, communism).

Yes, most of my examples are US centric, but US has been the champion of Western capitalism (and democracy to some extent) for a full century now and Europe or the Far East are hardly in the position to pick up the mantle. 

I don't want to be all doom and gloom. There are ways of changing the general trend but a lot more people need to first see the true state of affairs in the West and the way things are progressing, before they can truly take charge of their future. A new beginning in my opinion would be new constitutional conventions in the West. This illusion of amending a constitution, creating ever larger federations or piece-meal legislation to work around their current constitutional flaws has not worked and it can't, by design.
