To narrow it down, it has to be something you will not forgive a country for doing for the rest of your life. Alternatively, you can feel something in great disdain towards the whole world, like what you see universally done or know of.
Mine would be and I strongly use this word because of the practice associated to it, but, the raping of information.
And I say that because it is astonishingly appalling just how distorted information has gotten. With how modern day journalism has been to even half-baked Wikipedia articles that aren’t detailed. Even historical accounts aren’t entirely safe because they just get revised and re-written at a moment’s notice to fit particular narratives or perspectives of others.
The lines of lies and truths are completely blurred, only registered by particular contexts or levels of convenience. It burns my mind up to think some of the time, as to what I should take in for information that isn’t just for a purpose of study. I’m so jaded towards anything, I take everything projected with contempt.
The idea that countries need to compete with eachother for resources and power and stuff. We’re smart enough to put robots on Mars but we’re still dumb enough to burn our limited resources fighting eachother to get control of those resources. We really should know better. Especially since we all now know that this bullshit is quickly making our planet uninhabitable for us.
I thought once we had the internet easily available to everyone, the borders would just sorta dissolve as we all understood that people are people everywhere and we can all start trading information, ideas and actual goods directly with eachother, but all thats seemed to happen is amplifying our worst traits and shoving them in our faces round the clock.
We’re not going to make it, and as one of the “we” i cant help but feel somehow complicit.
