That is always the dangerous thing, with the Second World War there was also a long run-up in which things gradually worsened. And sometimes I think we've passed that point now. In the 1930s there was also inflation, a sharp increase in intolerance and all that kind of stuff. That is what you see happening very strongly now.

Yes true, but people in 1930s had much harder times I think. Poor, hungry, dirty - in extremest contrast to the view "Rich and Beauty" people.
So today... Yes we still have that contrast. But at least for Europe we still have conditions for everyone to have a good life. And thats the point where I dont understand what is really going on and escalates 🤷♀️😐
Do you think that low-income people feel that way? The high inflation has been a major blow to poorer people's financial position. Purchasing power has hardly been repaired, if at all. And in the meantime, according to the opinion of people who have little economic knowledge, many 'gifts' are being handed out by the government to asylum seekers, to foreign countries, etc... Many people see it as "Europe is throwing billions abroad coughed up by the inhabitants of the Member States", while many residents can no longer make ends meet. Add to this the large flow of asylum seekers, who must also be supported by the residents. And the inhabitants? These are forgotten and collapse under the ever-increasing costs of living.
I'm not saying this is really how it is, but it is how many people feel it. The media does not make this any better with generally negative reporting, where things are often not stated clearly.
Many people feel they have been shortchanged... and that always causes friction, which unfortunately causes many people to adopt extreme ideas.
I know they feel that way and its sad that they cannot see what they have. Since my disease I am at very low income level too.
We should restart being thankful for what we have, but this seems not to be possible in our shiny, thriving insta world. At least not for the majority of people
I think that for many people the survival instinct has been activated. This causes more selfishness and egocentrism in the world. In addition, the inability to see the difference between "Want to have" and "Need to have". Then there is the income inequality and the many problems that arise, it is becoming too much for many people to handle.
Yes I agree. So the only thing one can do is to try to live life different and spreading peace within and wherever we can, as an example, where maybe you reach and inspire others.
