The Hunger Games Are Real: We Are The Districts (Video)
The few rich men who control the Capitol have successfully managed to consolidate the majority of the nation’s wealth into their hands. The Capitol has taken away food stamps from hungry families and given it to their rich benefactors in the form of tax breaks, subsidies, and other forms of corporate welfare. Career politicians are even smashing up the possessions of homeless people with a sledgehammer with impunity, while wearing designer clothes.
These rich men also control the news broadcasted on the Capitol’s airwaves that brainwashes the impoverished masses into believing their suffering is their own fault, that they’re only starving because they don’t know how to work hard, and that those who control all the resources must somehow deserve it because their status makes them more worthy. However, the rich men still aren’t satisfied. They’re already trying to force through a trade deal kept secret from the public that would subvert what remains of democracy and install global corporate rule.
When the poor and oppressed dare to speak out against the injustice of the ruling class, the Capitol’s peacekeeping forces suppress their protests with extraordinary brutality. When the people try to vote out their corrupt leaders in the electoral process, the ruling class simply drowns out the democratic process by dumping truckloads of money into incumbents’ pockets. Meanwhile, the impoverished masses are constantly told to be thankful for their freedom, and are given mindless distractions to keep their minds off of what their real problems are.
I’m not talking about The Hunger Games. I’m talking about our present situation.
I am a fan of the movies but have never read the books which I assume are better. It’s a good message the Hunger Games puts out in that it displays our current realities. Resistance is as natural to mankind as breathing is. It’s only a matter of time before there is a global upheavel against globalist domination. You already have things like Anonymous, Wikileaks, Occupy movement, tea parties, indigent movement, social unrest in Greece and so on. Sociallly there is already alot of resistance both from the left and the right. It’s only a matter of time before that becomes revolution. And I know many revolutions have come and gone but I think that when it does happen it will be the greatest man has ever seen. Fee humanity.. -Mort
