History is filled with innumerable incidents of abuse by the privileged. This has affected generations in irredeemable ways. As civilisation learns from those mistakes, the rational thinkers of the era have promised to not repeat the same. It is time to stand up to the promise.
Humans have fundamentally not been able to tolerate equality and collective development. Some of the recent atrocities in human history include
- The cruelties against native races in various countries including Australia, New Zealand, Africa and the US to name a few
- The sectarian wars in Hinduism, Islam and Christianity
- The persecution of Jews
- Slavery
- The caste discrimination in India
- The systematic elimination of minorities in Middle East, Pakistan, India and other South Asian countries
- The killings of innocents in the communist regimes
- The territorial greed of People’s Republic of China
- Centuries of discrimination against women
The time has come for people to stifle the growing impact of divisive forces led by the president of the United States of America, Mr.Donald J Trump. Boris Johnson recently compared Theresa May meeting Donald Trump to some of the dictators the British Queen has met in the past. Nicolae Ceaușescu the former dictator of Romania and Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe were the examples quoted. I had to appreciate Boris the Buffoon for this statement. He has rightly compared president Trump to these dictators. He is just as dangerous but has a much bigger impact area.
I do not believe that most Americans actually want innocents to be banned. They do have a fear for security which Trump is exploiting. The true “basket of deplorables” consist purely of his Trumpets, the secretaries he has nominated, his white house team and of course his vice president Mike Pence. His Trumpets are using his election to push forward their civilisation threatening ideologies, while the main reason he got elected is economic populism.
This is the time for the world leaders irrespective of parties to stand up and fight. Malcom Turnbull gave an insipid response to the ban stating, he cannot lecture foreign governments on their security policy. The response for similar from most countries. With the fear of being persecuted by the rogue government under Trump, they either disagreed moderately or didn’t comment. This is morbid and despicable. This is the time where narrow self-interests should be thrown for the progress of the civilisation. This is the time to take a stand. There is no doubt in my mind that this is a distinct decision point in history. You are either for it or against it. We are the cusp of this galactic shift in the governance. Every event in history which we wish didn’t happen, had a crucial decision point. There are no shades of grey in that decision. The history is going to judge us based on our decision.
I am expecting clear actions from the rest of the world. Ignoring self-interests, I want leaders to suspend diplomatic relations to bring Trump to the negotiation table. It doesn’t matter if your GDP is small or if your economy depends on the US at the moment, you have to take a stand. The rest of the world has to unite against the fascist forces. If that doesn’t happen, we are going to see the world where it becomes acceptable to take a discriminatory stand under the guise of national security. The roots of democracy and co-existence are threatened by a handful of rogues who have played word tricks to get into the most powerful political office in the world. It is time for action. I am sure there are thousand reasons for why we do not want to take a hard stand, but saving civilisation trumps them.
This is the time for the people of the world to unite for the betterment of everyone. It is hard for humans to see beyond their selfish interest, but this wave of despicable moves will leave us with a serious dearth of values. We have to resist it for our own survival. It is time for us to take to the streets and march with people who are fighting for humanity, equality, sustainability and liberty. If you think the present doesn’t affect you, it is only a matter of time. Such callous moves will always trigger an avalanche of negative reactions and will take everyone along with it. It is time to show solidarity in a peaceful manner. It is important to show we might lack one leader but as people, we will be united with a common goal in a peaceful manner. The progress made by civilisations across centuries and millennium should not be left to a handful of archaic barbarians. It is time to left on the right.
