A sense of community, a common narrative, and a common struggle is what is missing from society, and it is something I have realized in different ways over the years as well. My father grew up in isolated rural Canada in the 50s and did not have it easy.
The stories he told me conveyed a sense of real purpose in his community, as it turns out when you need to rely on one another to not die of hunger or exposure, you tend to value other people. The Dicken's quote "it was the best of times, it was the worst of times" I think expresses it well.
Our politicians are grifters, and they do have ill intent. They don't work for us, they work for their own gain by selling out our social institutions. They import the third world both as a voting base, and as a means to wedge apart Canadian communities that bind us together with a shared cultural and social history.
This makes us weak as a nation. We are unable to identify with one another, and we are vulnerable to divisive politics. That's how they carve out the vote, and it is how they drive up housing prices (increased demand) in our inflated economy and drive down wages (abundance of cheap labor), both which satisfy the corporatists that they are in league with.
Yeah I know what you mean, good luck trying to explain this to anyone who got a full dose of the dIvErSITy IS OuR STreNGth nonsense, their heads are fact resistant. We are in a new era now, and in my opinion we are nowhere near revolution, definitive global conflict, or even collapse. Eras can be decades long, and we might just be at the beginning of the end.
I spend a lot of time wondering where it goes from here, and I wonder what our equivalent to the Weimar period in Germany would look like. Certainly, many of the conditions are in place already, or at least are falling into place.
Foreign banking and corporate exploitation of our economy, the resulting inflation of our currency, the socially enforced humiliation of the native (white, European) population of our country, the morally degenerate state of our culture, transexual experimentation, indulgent sexuality, normalization of sex work, rampant drug use, irreligious religions, debased "art", intellectual charlatanism, and so on.
Our culture and history might be so different from that of Germany's that this may never happen, but I lean toward thinking that the pendulum swings. As conditions worsen economically and socially, so too will they eventually worsen politically, and an authoritarian ideology will emerge, and so will a leader who will take advantage of it.
That sounds likely, and if that happens it will be difficult to see what dominant cultures replace white European westerners. In the EU it is obviously muslims, but Canada might be something else. My bet is the Chinese, they've already compromised our Westernmost province, its capital city, and our western ports.
This would be a long drawn out amble toward western annihilation though, and a lot could change along the way. I think perhaps the ruling elite probably look at Canada as inconsequential, just a landmass with valuable resources to be manipulated when expedient. Trudeau lends his dumb ass well toward that goal.
I think China becomes a world superpower, Russia continues to hold off the world at its borders, and the US descends further into the oligarchy that it has become. Canada is basically collateral in this scenario; if the US is no longer a unified nation then whatever benefit we have of being on its border is nil.
