Trump is all over the media these days, and here I am, contributing to his ever rising fame, but I actually have something to say which is empowering and not only focusing on the negative side of it all.
You see, I can’t help but wonder, when we think long term, isn't this simply beneficial madness for us all?
Not that I am pro this unabashed demagogue of a person, his decisions and executions. But there is something quite fascinating about the whole situation we as a global community find ourselves in at the moment. I think there is a reason for him becoming a president. The time for a switch in our earthly collective consciousness has arrived with him as the tipping point. The world now has a place to point our fingers.
Yes, he has taken some radical and weird actions the past 11 days, and he is all over the news because of his tyranny. In all his glory he demonstrates his power. Its all so absurd and unexpected that we’re filled with chaos and fear.
- People are being deported from the country and banned to enter. People are divorced from their families because they’re “immigrants” event though they have US citizen ship. (It seems like trump has forgotten that his country is built up by immigrants, that the most successful companies located in has been built by immigrants even that two of his wives(including Melanie Trump) is immigrants.)
- He has gotten rid of Obamacare
- And more
I get that there is a reason for this panicking behavior of the masses, but is it just me that find this whole situation interesting? Is it just me that sees this wackiness as an insane opportunity for true global change and a strong community to arisen?
Humanity as a whole is longing for justice, so, perhaps now is a perfect time we all can stop the passive talking and stop watching, and start engaging? Perhaps now is the time where its possible to practice what we preach? Now when we finally have a direction in which to focus our anger?
There is not much chatter in the news or online yet(check more about the media below) about possible solutions and actions we together can take but I guess there is a lot going on among the world leaders and behind locked doors. We are being forced to rationalize our minds. Humanity is now forced to think. All at once. Because it can´t just skyrocket in this direction for years, which is a possibility if he is not being stopped, cause we can all clearly see that Trump rather belongs to a psychiatric institution, but meanwhile until then he is roaming the streets with immense power accompanied by delusional events.
While we all were hoping(and still do I guess)for his Presidency to be one big joke, anticipating for Ashton Kutcher to jump out of nowhere and say “gottcha, you’ve all been massively pranked. moahaha” (feel free to skip this mind wandering paragraph about what Trump's is all about)
- Or hoping that is was just a big PR stunt to get Hillary Clinton closer to a win
- Or that it was merely a genius episode of black mirror happening live where we all were actors. Just to prove a point.
- Or that a group of people with lots of control are behind him and just want to play around for fun with us.. To See how far it can go for what to happen.
- or maybe he is with ISIS and wanted to get his hands on the nuclear weapon industry to blow us all up in once, wipe humanity away
- Or that Trump is just a straw man being pushed in a corner by aliens or Gods
- Or that he actually is an alien which came to earth just to have some fun and experiment with us all. (an extraterrestrial from a super advanced civilization where we still can’t imagine what is possible when altering the laws of physics
- Or that its we, humans on earth are a big experiment and what is happening now is arranged just to measure something… like reactions, behavior, intelligence, stupidtitiy, energy or sense of community, kindness and love. or just to see how fast we can adapt to change and what we can allow to happen.
- Or maybe he is a machine going amok, perhaps its the start of the AI crisis, its just not being told to the masses cause its all out of control
- Or we are (our universe or earth solely) is in a video game and about to level up? Or down?
- (My mind can flow forever like this filled with amusement but lets continue.)
This is not the case, as far as we know, Trump is here to stay and his presidency do not has a fulcrum.
Even though polls said that Hilary was going to win, I was sure that wouldn’t be the case.
Injustice and instability is on the menu all over the world, we have the refugee crisis, the richer that is getting richer and visa versa, in addition to that many people are loosing their jobs due to technology and the age of antibiotics is soon over. As usual, people are suffering from poverty and diseases eats a lot of people. We all want the climate change to reverse and we can’t handle no more religious conflicts. People are so thirsty so we jump on every possibility to alter our reality.
Another factor is that because of the rise of technology we can discover how vast the differences in the world truly are. Of course because of the news and everything, but interesting fact is that online we are all one big happy community where we all feel belonging. The whole world is our neighbor and we can find people similar to ourselves just a click away. Being online is magic, but when that bubble burst and we’re back to the offline reality, it all seems even more unfair. We feel isolated and miserable, we feel that we do not have the same rights and living condition as others and it makes us furious. Trump is a visible sign of how people experience the world at the moment, loaded with anxiety and negative feelings.
Of course a lot people will suffer because him being president, but doesn’t a lot of people suffer already? What’s great about this whole situation is that now everyone has someone to point their finger at. We have been missing a concrete and clear picture of all the disasters happening. But now, we have a scapegoat, finally, we have somewhere we all can direct our voices, our anger, our frustration, our energy. A visible and safe place with easy access for everyone. It's like picking up the phone calling a service and say how much you dislike them and if they don't change you will go to somewhere better. Until now we’ve had too many choices on how to deal with the misery of the world making us paralyzed, unable to do anything cause we haven’t known where to start and everything seems unaccessible and far away. Like where should we start? Who should we attack? Our country politicians? Them big companies like Marlboro, Nestlé or H&M? Or perhaps the intermediaries who delivers the product or the different people who collects the different parts needed for a product to be made? Or maybe the man who is actually right now tearing down trees in Amazonas in order to be able to feed his own family with his almost no money salary? Or should we point at those who work at the factory where they release harmful waste making the habitants close by get cancer and other diseases? Or perhaps the people who build the factory or the man who owns the land where its being built? You see, the list can go on and on. We can even blame the supermarkets for world hunger cause they throw away 40 % of their food. Which is food that has not gone bad, they just dont look “perfect”. My point being, there are way too many choices, too many people to blame! Making us end up just caring about our own little ego bubble, feeling helpless. But times are changing. Now there is a possibility for a rebellion, cause now we have someone to rebell towards. And a sense of community is gradually being built. As a global community we get a common voice, a high voice we all now can direct somewhere. This is how optimism, hope and meaning can start cultivating.
Lets reminisce a bit about Martin Luther King and how he perfectly points to the type of change makers and activists our world needs.
