‘Unrest’ as an open global political movement

“…the world is crazy right now”. Like echoes in solemn stone halls these words repeat wherever the curious listener might eavesdrop on a conversation. wrongfully or rightfully there seem little debate that this is a consensus of most people right now. But perhaps there is more to it?

Sure, around us we see trust crash harder than the stock portfolios overbalanced with Novo Nordisk shares, and the institutions around us seem held together with nothing by the faint memory of trust held ever more tightly by the elder generation of our times. Yet there is silver lining that we overseeing. A positive implications that we have forgotten.

When trees grow so large that they begin to become a detriment to the nature arround them, a storm, a lightning bolt or a forrest fire will quickly pull it back down and redistribute it’s majesty to the flora and fauna in the undergrowth. In the same way are systems have developed under incestuous conditions artificially removed from the culturally derived social-evolutionary pressures that would normally contain it.

That chaos in the world can be seen as that forrest fire, if the system cant contain the discontent of the masses it has to change. We used to glorify this process, yet now we seem eager to vilify those same groups. But rather than seeing them as angry extremist perhaps we should hold their actions in higher esteem. As a growing, successful global movement, elevated above race or religion and thoroughly rooted in the principles upon which they have been to believe in.

As an active participant in many of these organisations i would implore all the interested, the young and the lost, the old and the jaded, to join and simply make up there own mind about what they are seeing. Perhaps the kinder world that you are dreaming about is currently being kept warm, under shared blankets and song, by brave people of all walks of life, standing up against tyranny, despotism and human hierarchy.
