are intent on owning us and the world, wholly and completely. They're tired of trying to make us "see" the errors of our ways, and fall in line with their "enlightened philosophy." So, they're just doing what they want to do because no one can stop them. Kinda like trump.

Apologies for those who see the following as religious in nature... but unless "good" can come up with a viable way to vanquish "evil" this is our life from now on, IMO. To note: I don't see good and evil as religious entities or aspects. I see them as elements of the world we live in. Where one thing can be both, or neither. Technology is an excellent example. Wonderful benefits to humanity when used correctly and research is done in earnest with honesty and transparency paramount. But most usually, the beneficial aspects are thrown out the door because the harm it can do in its use is way too profitable to ignore for these people. Their only philosophy boils down to Me - good and necessary. You - unwashed and unnecessary. You will, therefore, die for the betterment of the world.
