How to save world democracy…

What if you knew how to save the world’s democracy, yet no one would even pay attention?

Arthur Schopenhauer said (paraphrased): “The challenge then is not to look for and see what no one else is seeing, but rather to look at and see the same thing everyone else sees, and to think what no one else is thinking while seeing the same thing we all see.”

The idea or concept, the simple, undeniable requirement to unify and save world democracy is by uniting online during the Internet & Communications Age. This is as simple and obvious as needing to eat food if you are starving.

We have all been there… You are standing in a store shopping for a particular item, let’s say you are looking for finish nails. You are in the nail aisle, surrounded by nails, and yet you can’t seem to find them. A clerk in the store is walking down the aisle, and you stop them and ask, “Where are your finish nails?”

The clerk gets a big smile on their face and points right next to you, you were literally almost touching them.

Now imagine that you are that clerk instead of the customer, and the customer gets angry at you or disparages you, or ignores you. They find a bunch of different ways to make you feel bad or to blame you because they didn’t see what was right next to them. In fact, they begin to act as if something is wrong with you, like you are obsessive or out of touch with reality because you feel response-able™ to tell them where the nails are.

That’s what it feels like to write this article and to try and convince people that we should all unite online, in a few primary locations, as the pro-freedom and democracy citizens of the world.

“ If a business no longer requires brick and mortar, does a Nation REQUIRE land and borders? “

It’s kind of like a friend of yours is starving to death, literally. They’ve lost their job and their income. They have not eaten in 4 days. They are active all over the internet with various groups that are also starving because they don’t have enough food. Your friend talks about starving, they worry about starving, and they complain about all of the reasons why they are starving. They participate in boycotts against the companies that are contributing to their starvation. They follow all manner of online groups and influencers protesting against starvation. Professors like Prof G. have podcasts about starving and all of the causes and concerns. The whole damn world is in an uproar about all of the people about to starve. However, their default position is “ But what can I do…” They say it not as a question but rather as capitulation to the idea that they will starve unless someone else feeds them, but it gets even more insane.

Meanwhile, you are standing there with a plate of food in front of a whole open buffet. You have put the food onto the fork, and you have placed the fork into their hand as you put the whole plate of food down in front of them… and it’s their favorite meal. All that is required for all of them to avoid starvation is to take a bite of the damn food, yet they refuse to eat?!

Not only that, they get angry at you, isolate you, ignore you, and they can’t understand why you won’t quit talking about different ways that they can get food to eat. None of the starving people will even talk with you because you keep trying to feed them.

This is what it’s like to watch, listen, and try to participate in all of the different discussions, online posts, worry, and concern over what is happening to freedom and democracy in the United States and across the world.

The one underlying mandatory requirement (the food) for free and democratic societies, politics, and economics to survive and thrive is to have large numbers of world citizens or affiliated citizens unite and collaborate in the protection, Improvement, and expansion of freedom and democracy. These collaborations and unity of purpose are MANDATORY (food) for functioning democracies. Yet no one will question or discuss “ What are some of the possibilities and potential for peace, power, and influence of freedom and democracy if we unite online?”

Why will the citizens of Finland, Ukraine, Poland, Switzerland, and others call up thousands into the military yet not discuss uniting online to prevent war? Why will the citizens of those nations cringe and despair as their tax dollars fund war at the expense of everyone in those nations, and yet at the same time refuse to even experiment with uniting online with the rest of the world for more power and influence?

Why do we all look at the very same “internet” and remain brainwashed into believing that “we access the internet” when in reality “ WE Are The Internet “ we must tap a screen or click a mouse for the internet to access us! Without us as active, welcoming participants in their AI and social media…they are worthless. WE CONTROL THEM, act like it!

“The challenge then is not to look for and see what no one else is seeing, but rather to look at and see the same thing everyone else sees, and to think what no one else is thinking while seeing the same thing we all see.”

There has never been a time in history when it was easier, more effective, and more obvious that the glaring reason why freedom and democracy are failing, starving, all across the world is because the pro democracy citizens of the world refuse to simply unite and collaborate by tapping their screens in unison, in collaboration.

If any of you know someone who has ADHD or Autism, anywhere on the spectrum, imagine what it feels like for them to be isolated, ignored, and disregarded simply because all they’re trying to do is convince you to take a bite of food so that you don’t starve to death… as you are complaining to them about starving to death. It is not uncommon for highly focused people to become fixated upon things, especially when they are simple, obvious, and important to them.

Bernard Shaw said: “The reasonable man adapts himself to the world: the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man.”

We have all witnessed individuals who become unreasonable in the face of those who deny the obvious, right? We need 2.5% of you who read this to become unreasonable, unite online. Force the authoritarians and communists of the world to adapt to us!

I will continue to be baffled by why people regard it as unreasonable to question and discuss the future of world democracy during the Internet and Communications Age of humanity, and what the possibilities would be if the pro-freedom and democratic citizens of the world were to unite online in a few primary locations.

This really isn’t intended to be about me; it’s intended to be about you!

The positive, encouraging, aspirational person inside of me wants to try and explain to you what it feels like to comprehend that A Brave New World of international online democracy is but a screen tap or mouse click away! If you read some of the other articles or visit our website, the potential and possibilities are virtually unlimited if we unite online. That simple act will disrupt the power structures of the world in ways beyond imagination. We live at an amazing time in human history, and I believe it’s going to be mind-blowing with what the next generations are about to accomplish, IF WE UNITE ONLINE?

At the same time, after 10 years of trying to explain all of this, 10 years of holding out a fork and emailing or messaging all manner of people and influencers and never getting a response of consequence. I do have to tell you that periodically, I feel like the store clerk that you are getting angry at because the finish nails that you were looking for are right next to you. Please stop complaining, open your damn eyes, get off your ass, tap your screens or click your mouse to unite online and save world democracy!

Our other articles explain more. Our music and videos provide humor and context, but do not get distracted. If 2.5% of us email NATO and or Governor Newsom’s office (examples), we will disrupt the world towards freedom and democracy. We will then Make Democracy Offensive™, and the authoritarians and communists of the world will be on defense, not us.
