The world population has entered an endless circle of #fear for their lives, for the integrity of their state of health and, consequently, for their future …
In a way never experienced before, a viral invasion has been installed as a new and inevitable scenario whose
true dimensions are still unknown. Over and over again, as in a raging sea, waves with different names follow one another, with different consequences, with the force that their hidden characteristics give them.
It is an environment to which -as in any new reality- humans begin
to get used to, forced by the need to preserve a certain #emotional stability.
The sterile efforts to contain contagions -a clear situation in most countries- collide head-on with the resigned and progressively careless attitude of the population.
This, not used to maintaining the uncomfortable precautions recommended by the health authorities, which physically and emotionally distance them from their daily environment & from their loved ones, they prefer risk and forget the minimum actions capable of containing contagion.
The mind plays the dangerous game of forgetting when fear is present …
In such circumstances, it is already clear how the effort to return to a certain normalcy is inevitable.!!
The #mind tends to forget when fear is present!

No country in the world has benefited as much from the European debacles as the #US. During the Napoleonic wars, the massive mobilization of peasants left the fields deserted and the powers at war were in urgent need of food.
In the US they rushed to fill the gap and spent years
Profits were so high that they laid the foundation for prodigious economic growth during the 19th century. There was another indirect benefit: the poverty and famines left by the war forced millions of #Europeans
to emigrate to the #USA, a basically depopulated country, which received some ten million outcasts in just under twenty years.
With the European emigrants came new technologies, new ideas, and a workforce that was abundant, cheap, and willing to do anything. A bargain!!.
Thus can be synthesized the journey followed by #Ukraine, since that month of February 2014 when, supported by Western powers in the political, communicational and financial spheres,
the pro-European and #NATO forces of this Eastern European country, overthrew President Viktor Yanukovych.!!
This, with an essential and distinguishable vector: an anti-Russian policy, which fits perfectly into the traditional #colonial & neo-colonial policies of this "divide and rule"-loving West practiced in Latin America, Asia and Africa and that today, in the Eastern part of Europe,
The speeches about the capital that millionaires contribute in taxes and how much the poor and the middle class receive from this forced generosity, are a whole literary genre … 🙄 the millionaire factory of #myths 🙄
What's more, this genre is cultivated above all by those from below, as the principle of the genius of propaganda Edward Bernays says: “you should never say that what you want to sell is good, but make others say it”.
That the poor and the workers (oh! excuse the redundancy) defend the rich as kind donors, is the direct result of such a publicity strategy and, as Bernays himself knew, it is not just a massive inoculation but an exploitation of the weaknesses of the consumer, as is the desire
