what happened to ecotopia?

Wait a second. I thought the banking-industrial complex was

going to collapse and be replaced with an egalitarian society

where money no longer exists.

 

 

“Every few hundred years in Western history there occurs a sharp

transformation. Within a few short

decades, society — its world view, its basic values, its social and

political structures, its arts, its key

institutions — rearranges itself. And the people born then cannot even

imagine a world in which their

grandparents lived and into which their own parents were born. We are

currently living through such a

transformation.”

 

Peter Drucker, Post-Capitalist Society

 

 

....In partisan political terms, we are looking at a slow decline of both

left and right and of both political parties.

The term “center” doesn’t communicate anything, and my research suggests it

is a fiction. Social

conservatism is slowly declining as its underlying culture slowly dies off.

In the last fifty years, Traditionals

have shrunk from about half the population to under a quarter. We are also

looking at the demise of the left,

since only about twelve to fifteen percent of the people identify with it

any more. Big business is distrusted

by over 70 percent of Americans and they can get only 14 to 19 percent of

the voters, so they depend on

money power to keep control. Politicians are rated down there with used car

salesmen as an occupation.

Voting is still at an all time low.

I realize this may seem very off-topic, and was tongue in cheek to start

with, but in fact the TCM community's awareness and conscious influence in

this transformation will, to some degree, determine the way TCM integrates

into our future society.

Cool flashback, dude. The banking-industrial complex has already

crashed several times, but keeps coming back like Jason in those

Friday the 13th movies. Bummer.
