Correction.

Conversations and strategies are getting more coherent using modern voice and face technology for meetings. Things are shaping up but, not on forums. Text will never work for important human interactions.

"They" are beginning to feel cornered but, the divisions in society need to be addressed and political paradigms dropped. In the meantime, may nightmares haunt the rulers until their time comes..... For them to go to their room. Wherever it is.

Without the consent of the governed, they cannot 'reign'.

The fookery has been going on since the divine right of kings was posited, and any analogue of rule from above..

Interesting the different perspectives. Personally, I see forums as an ideal setting for taking the pulse of society in general. I can also see where they serve nicely as a petri dish of sorts.

There we have it, but this is what I continue to see precious little of. If anything I see political paradigms becoming more and more in vogue as "the answer", "the way out" so to speak, and very likely not by accident either.

Quite true. However, are the governed prepared to reign, done the necessary inner work, or would they simply become the new "they"?

The "new they", easy answer imv, it gets repeated over and over, each group who feels oppressed demon'strates their capacity for hate and revenge. Whether it be within the divisions of wealth or race or gender, or political ideal, or religion.
One can witness forgiveness within the few, but also it is quite apparent that the oppressed will become the oppressors and begin a new world of odour to be avenged.

The best answer is the unlikely hope for the healing of the worst afflicted by the disease, the rulers. But often they are probably not going to be able to, as they are pretty much held in chains by the energy of hate and jealousy against them.

A couple of things going on...the most important thing 'Can we stop it' and if we can, 'How'.

It is incumbent upon parents to make 'real' humanity's propensity to 'otherize' and to put it in the words of Barney Fife..."Nip it, nip it in the bud"

lol, I'm not sure I'm helping...One important thing to me seems to be..."feel your feelings but if they are counterproductive or destructive leave them there, don't simmer, don't emanate, let them dissipate"
