Humanity had striven upwards in the great spires of cathedrals, we had Heaven come down to us in the domes of temples, and now is the time for Humans to be Flat Earthers; concerned only with the ground ‘neath us, the next day’s meal, and no more.
Please let me in on the apparent metaphor. As you are using flatness to make a point then you are not what I think of a flat-earther. I am not the only one who hasn’t gotten the joke, am I??
Here I stand, agonizing on how to stop these individuals without advocatiing violent rebuttal, and you are too far ahead of me that we might consort.
It is purposefully a play on expectations and a little tongue in cheek.
I think that the overarching endpoint of trends is antihuman by way of reducing any given individual who is not already a part of the exalted and wealthy. Natural and normal to want to secure one's bag for posterity, horrific to contemplate what it might look like on a global scale in order to do it today.
I don't think violence is in the cards. Assuming familiarity with Brave New World: there's a lot of soma to select from these days.
I must be stupid. Save my life, snd correct me. A consortium of corporate-types led by a German, surrounded by Germans touting German leadership, politically couples itself to the United Nations, which can actually raise troops and act militarily. In October of this year the UN will ratify with its members a resolution that will place the UN in power over all member governments in the event of an “emergency.” Biden is on board with this action. An example of an “emergency?” Another “pandemic.” “Digital communication failure” following a sunspot. And it is all timed to precede the 2024 US election.
The US Constitution and citizens rights will be forfeit.
I don’t know your nationality, but look. Is my 50s generation that much different from yours? The world has been under assault since 1974. Millions have died. The food supply is being martialed. Truly;
Whee ! .
So well said .
Always it has been so, it seems to me the speed of flatness has been accelerated in the last decade or two .
A dystopian future awaits ! .

Good way to summarise the changing times..

There will not be violence??
