Common Corruptions of Government

Politics in the modern age have become a fight for pointless extremity. Most right wingers are sycophants for a tyrant and and most left wingers are praying for change that they will never get due to the common corruptions of government. Multiple people have told me before, “The news makes me so angry that nothing is changing in the right direction,” and then they proceed to go about their day without protesting. Not to mention most politically active individuals are active online which is pointless to cause change because you just get either labeled chronically online, extremist, or just some idiot who’s opinion does not matter. And can you blame them? Being an online “activist” is such a pointless undeniable horseshit belief. Nothing will change because you scream online.

Back long before internet, specifically for the sake of this paper the late 1800s, people could not turn to the press for there opinions. Opinions would be crafted by word spoken by mouth or more commonly read from papers. Instead of siding with the majority people that supports there broad label in society they would usually side with small local groups of government that represented them as a person. This in turn would of course lead a mutual cooperation to have more laws that represented them and these local groups would organize to protest. These groups would have varying success with these protests but the government tend to lean more locally. This how I believe that government should be.

In my opinion and hopefully the opinion of many others the gross neglect of local communities and rallying in the modern age is revolting. It seems that the government has given up almost when it comes to listening to the common man. The only way to fix this is to begin starting local communities based off of trust and mutual aid, take the protest directly to the government via force, and to write papers such as this one. If I may go on a short tangent here, I don’t know if it is obvious but I do not write, I keep my beliefs to myself and honestly I feel that is ignorant. A proponent of mutual aid is only as strong as it’s fellow proponents and if I am not sharing my beliefs and encouraging my friends, I am just as bad as one of those online activists. Back on to track, A protest is only strong in this day and age if it causes people of the world to think and act. If your protest ends out with the majority of the witnesses scared, angry at you, or confused as to the meaning of it all, your protest will be brushed off as insignificant. In this day in age the only to get your message across is to get people off their asses. If you can not make a single person join in on the protest you have failed to do what protests are for, Finding likeminded people and sending an outcry to a government.

But of course, this all wishful thinking nowadays. The majority of protests will be forgotten without violence or outrage. During the George Floyd protests it became clear that protests simply do not work anymore, For millions of people to support a cause and for it to only result in small changes is disheartening at the least for revolutionaries alike. If not even the common man can get a message across to the government, then it is clear the government has failed the people. The United States of America have become a breeding ground for corruption and with no way to stop it, it will for certain continue to fester this corruption with no stop.
