It doesn't help that almost nobody learns from history. The detail changes but the basics remain the same.

In the middles ages, it was rich, powerful barons surrounded by sycophants stealing from ordinary people, controlling their lives, punishing them if they dared question anything or just asked to be treated fairly.

Today, very similar rich, powerful people are doing very much the same.

@pikesley I think more is at play than those in power would want us to believe. The future hasn’t been determined, maybe the old world can make good compost if we all fight for something better
