The world we are in

Rating: 8/10 (30 April 2016)

This is the world we are living in. Where higher ideals become nothing but shadows on the wall in a Platonic cave, when the defenders of those ideals are shackled by the heckles of the mushy side of democracy, where the UN is inundated by those who are let in in principle to honor a fuller spectrum of representations but who are once in become agents who dilute, obscure and block the very fundamental reasons why the UN was conceived and what it was meant to defend in the first place. The strength of democracy is now being cleverly used as weapon against itself by the unsavory to advance their anti-democratic causes. That is what Captain America Civil War is about in a mashed up, comic book sort of way using the US as an analogy of the greater world.
