The authoritative state is gonna expand soooooo fast...
Discussion
Are you telling me it wasn't authoritative now?
It was authoritative but it’s gonna get worse
Look not even during Fascism and Nazism people lived like today. No hope, stress, zero safety, zero possibilities for the next generations. This world of the last 20-30 years is hell on earth
Idk about that. It’s still much safer today than before I would imagine. At least the last statistics I’ve seen on violent crimes suggested it has gone down over time. Maybe in specific areas it’s worse like Chicago but overall things are much safer than ever before.
No it is not. All the data they feed us is fake. I was alive before this mess and this world is very dangerous.
You need to provide evidence before I am willing to believe your word over the data.
I have my evidence by facts. Ask people that lived there. Watch videos not digital that were made at that time. You all today ask for evidence. You were not there and still keep listening official data after all the bullshit they clearly fed you. Find your evidence. There are no google links about a time where there was no google. Still people were happy, nobody was shooting in schools and one person could have provided for a family. In the 80's as a teenager I was able, with side works, to earn more than you with a regular job today and I paid in full my first house at 35. Want evidence. Come here.
You’re moving the goalposts. You said it was safer before than it is now. Your word is not evidence. I’m open to believing that you are correct but I’m not going to just blindly believe what you are saying. Idk you and don’t have any good reason to trust you.
That is an other aspect of this time. At my time people were considered to be saying the truth unless known for being liars. That is society atomization. Another world. I bet it will develop and fix itself
So if people were trusted during your time, then maybe you are the misinformed one? We scrutinize more nowadays.
Misinformed by living well and happy? By having good nice families around and being able to walk at night as a teenager without fear? Real life do not need information. It is direct knowledge
Your individual experience is not a reflection of the state of the world. Just like my individual experience is not a reflection of the state of the world. We have biases that make it impossible to be objective. This is why stats and science are important. Humans see the past through biased lenses as well. This is called rosy retrospection. Humans remember the past more positively than it was actually experienced. This is why every generation typically says that things are getting worse and worse.
I state that only personal direct experience is real. All the news, data, statistics are always biased. All the researches are partial, all the books and history are side stories. What we see with out eyes is the only reality. All the rest is bullshit. Turn off Internet,.turn off the TV and live the real world.
You first
No.
Governments, by nature, are authoritative. But now, with a full on surveillance state in place, it will be. And probably to level's straight out of the novels.
