When you have hope you can easily dream of a better future, of a world with infinite possibilities–seeing this future is visioning.
There is a biblical proverb that says, “Where there is no vision, the people perish.” Having hope is a prime nutrient for soul growth and development. When a child grows up without hope and love around them, their heart hardens, and their sense of humanity decreases as they get older.
There are many hopeless, loveless environments throughout America and worldwide–By design. What is happening in the social world in America and many other places (around the world) is that people, especially men between the ages of 18-55, see no viable future for themselves. This perspective is even more distressing for Black males living in overcrowded, prison-like conditions in urban cities where they are bombarded daily with morose and soulfully depleting frequencies like those regularly found in gangster video and audio rap lyrics and political rhetoric.
Z. D. Davidson, in a comment posted on an internet forum, says for those operating with a gangster mentality, a “job is a demeaning term.”
John D. Rockefeller also agrees. He was the founding patriarch of a ruling family that has politically, economically, and socially ruled America and most other nations in the Western Hemisphere since 1913. Why 1913? Because 1913 was the year when Treasury and financial transactions were signed over by Congress and then President Woodrow Wilson to private Mega-gangsters through the creation of the Federal Reserve Bank. The same year, the Internal Revenue Service, a gigantic debt collection agency, was also established to collect debt taxes on the new money created and regulated exclusively by the Federal Reserve Bank. John D. Rockefeller had this to say about a job. “A man who works all day has no time to make money.” This is truism that most people are afraid to admit. Working a nine-to-five job will never put you in a position to possess the type of staggering wealth the 0.01% of the world’s population has! The richest, most powerful people in the world do next to nothing in terms of real labor. Their world is a nepotocracy. For the people they rule, they oversee a democracy. Unless the top 0.01% are forced to do actual work and to distribute their unlawfully obtained wealth to We the People, what incentive do people really have to make a better future for themselves when they know they are no more than glorified democratic slaves?
Ryanthomas3880 says in the same internet forum, “The questions no one wants to ask: Why bother to work when you are taxed into the ground (property tax, sales tax, income tax, etc.) and what net income you have is actively and purposefully inflated away by a corrupt monetary system that will self-destruct eventually due to the inherent reality of a debt-based monetary system? Why bother to get married in a society where men have been actively and purposefully hallmarked as villains and perpetrators of “toxic masculinity?”
A frustrated Dathoodieguy7121 says: “As a man supporting his family while barely able to feed myself on these crappy wages, I’m nearly at my breaking point of just trying to leave this country or give up trying anymore. I am tired of working and not able to afford to eat. What is this nightmare? Is this the American Dream?! At 29, I am suffering with no family besides the one I made myself, and now I can barely feed them. I am reliant on this Government who hates me. I can’t stand this country anymore…”
Titolovely8237 says: “It’s pretty simple. The wages that are paid don’t buy anything, and the non-tangible things men want are also unavailable (marriage, children, stable communities, honorable institutions) and don’t get me started on the absurd requirements for these jobs. These employers want a 15+ year experienced professional with a PhD for $22/hr. It’s laughable. Hell, even just applying to these positions requires you to take pre-employment testing, then go through 5 rounds of interviews only to be offered 30% less than what you are making currently. It’s a joke. These employers don’t want workers; they want slaves. At a certain point, I hink people just give up, and you can’t blame them. The rational response to a society with this level of mental illness is to withdraw.”
Withdrawal does not necessarily mean isolation from family and society at large. What we are seeing are more and more alienated people quickly becoming agitated, frustrated, and violent when things don’t go their way. Their future is inconsequential to them, and because children cosmically represent hope, the future, their life is inconsequential to them as well.
Perry.Okeefe says in the same internet forum, “Because almost everyone goes through high school, a diploma has been made effectively useless. It is a commodity, and the value has been pushed down to zero, and kids know this. So we are forcing all our kids to go through 12 years of wasted time in a miserable prison-like (school) environment where they are forced to spend time with abusive kids. We are teaching them learned helplessness. Now add to this an environment of free, hyper-arousing, ubiquitous entertainment constantly trying to devour their attention.”
All this alienation, despair, and hopelessness is fostering a rapid breakdown of morality and civility towards each other. What can be done to correct this?
To be continued …….
