It is clearly evident that money and power is what this world is back to.
AI Overview
History's most powerful men often wielded absolute authority, with many being dictators like Hitler, Stalin, Mao Zedong, Mussolini, and Genghis Khan, though power also came from emperors (Caesar, Alexander the Great) or monarchs, with a significant number, perhaps over half of the absolute rulers, holding dictatorial control through force, suppression, and personality cults, impacting billions and shaping entire civilizations.
Forget about Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, and Warren Buffet. The richest person in the world is probably found amongst the list of remaining dictators. For example, it was revealed that both Muammar Gaddafi and Hosni Mubarak were rich beyond belief when their accounts were uncovered after they fell from power. They are not the only ones, as suggested in this article. Yet, we do not know who is richest – and we probably never will. Dictators are secretive about their wealth and hide it from the public eye. In addition, it is often hard to know where the state’s coffers stop, and where the pockets of the individual start. Therefore, dictators usually do not figure on lists over the richest people in the world, including Forbes’ annual rankings of the World’s Billionaires. This is problematic for a number of reasons.
With this latest move of Trump in "annexing"? Venezuela (he stated yesterday that for now he will be running Venezuela and that he will be using that country's oil reserves for our/his benefit), he clearly shows that he fits is perfectly with what rich and powerful people try to do and with those in the power to run a country, they become Dictators.
The worst part of all of this is that most of the Republican party is supporting this action! This reminds me of when we were fighting for our freedom back in the 1770's.
Our forefathers fought against a rich king (King George III) and he was incredibly rich (by today's standards he was worth $400 billion dollars) and he had powerful friends:
AI Overview
Powerful men who helped King George III into and sustained his power included his mentor, John Stuart, Earl of Bute, who became his first Prime Minister, and later, William Pitt the Younger, who formed stable governments, and Lord North, who strongly supported the King's policies during the American Revolution. These figures, along with his mother, Princess Augusta, shaped his early political views and provided crucial ministerial support, even as George III sought to exert more royal influence against established Whig factions.
In addition, he had the Parliament that helped him accomplish his goals of keeping us under his power. This is much like the Republican party helping Trump stay in control.
When you say you are a Conservative, does that mean you go back to the 1770's and favor King George III doing what he was doing.
Do you actually want the rich and powerful to control your lives, and what all of that means (according to the history of the world)?
Money and Power
Money and power are two of the biggest causes of conflict and drama in our lives. Lots of people right now are in survival mode, but when you are no longer worried about just survival, you tend to think about money within the context of status, ego, personal fulfillment, and power.AI Overview
