Dear Fellow Citizens, There is a ridiculous amount of dedication, Put in the entrapment of this nation. Every working class having short nights and long days, Trying to live life, in their own ways. Financial Enslavement of the lower classes, Corporate entertainment for what’s left of the masses. However, what we see, Is in no way what has to be. You see, Before our very own eyes, The hypocrisy of our society lies. At some point our bureaucracy began turning into a corporatocracy, But we refused to see this, and so we live in hypocrisy. The corporate elite buys support and we know it, But we rather not act to resolve, hoping the problems will eventually dissolve. And so through their financial ‘aid’, the corporate elite can use our government as their own personal maid. When those with money come to power, and the knowledge that absolute power corrupts absolutely, we increase the differences between the rich and the poor. Turning Democracy into a Plutocracy, Forcing money to become our highest ideology. Now we are slaves of consumption, and the only way to consume in this society, is to adapt into the economic hierarchy.

As such, politics nowadays as a whole, has lost every ability in efficiency and self-control. There is no proper political conversation, forcing social unrest to start working as a national sedation. Thus instead of growing closer to the next revelations, People are constantly succumbed by cultural aggravations. Support only those with truly sustainable visions, However keep politicians at all times accountable for all of their decisions. The government needs to stop dealing with problems individually, we need to make them realize all is inner-connected, even creativity. Only then as a society we could strive for synchronicity. Finding our happiness through generosity, and actually rewarding curiosity.

Yet here we are, On the curve of exponential growth, still not realizing this is something to loath. Let us surpass that state of mind, And see the world before us unwind. Allow the mental (r)evolution, Break free from the psychological pollution. Rather then continuing our progression towards a plutocracy, we, together, could embrace the change towards an actual beneficial economy. Through a combination of humanization, education, technology and ecology, we create a whole new ideology. We have the knowledge to drastically improve the quality of life. All we really need is the courage to stop our strife. So let us wake up and do the propriety, for our beloved society. All of this depends on Your choice, As a citizen and a consumer you Do have a voice.

Now Let yourself be heard, And together, we will leave no stone unturned!

-Olivier van Leeuwen

I have an idea... How about going back to school to get some training that would actually prepare you for a in demand career. There are jobs for people with technical skills... I'm sorry but there can only be so many historians and other jobs for people with B.A degrees.
