What gives anybody the right to anything?
the only reason we have a government is because of our human instincts, some may be familiar with the fight or flight syndrome or whatever you call it. We need leadership, we are genetically inclined to follow.
But this is the question resting on everybody's lips (some just don't realise it yet, too busy with who's going to win Britain's  hasnt got talent and what not) Is why are we ruled by lazy lousy and damn-right fucking stupid hypocrites? Who knows. I may have posted something similar to this in the past but I just wanted to reiterate it; what gives us the right to rule, to take charge. There's a part in 'Enduring Love' in which Joe talks about everyone's desire to lead, and that how everybody thought if they were in charge it would have gone smoothly. Unfortunately, we as humans are selfish, which is why the man ended up falling to his death from the balloon.
it's also incredibly strange how politics works. It's based on lies. The stories that they tell you, and we all seem to go along with it. The only reason cameron had a baby was to get more votes, now Milliband's just got married, its not for their own happiness (well maybe it is but for a different reason) its so that you're going to see them as a loving family man and vote for them! The only reason JFK even got married was because he said he'd look 'queer' if he didn't. We know this is a lie, the kissing babies, visiting the old vegetables, yet we still believe it. Why!?
What gives these lying bastards the mandate of heaven? Thats right, im using a chinese confucian term which basically means the right to rule, and we should take note. Although the Chinese had and still have some crazy ideas and should really sort the whole communism thing out, the old 6th century philosopher had a point. The Chinese have a suspicion of new ideas, of course this led them to ban programmes containing time travel which  is a bit extreme but the idea is justified. The believe that civilisation is cyclical, that it is built up and up only to then collapse and again be built up based on the same ideas, which is why anything new is frowned upon, however the western world believe that civilisation should progress and progress in a linear pathway, which will then evidently collapse altogether, which is precisely what happened to the Romans. They progressed too quickly, and now their empire is no more.
But how does this all relate to my original point? Sorry for going into a tangent there but my point is this: we are too ignorant to look to the past. We think we are so special that although we learn how things managed to happen, (for example nazi germany and the soviet union) it just doesnt apply to us.
Well guess what it does, how did we even allow the lying conservatives into power? If we are not careful we could be speaking chinese anytime within the next ten years.
