Merely a taste of what the TPTB can do in the near future.
The moment you think about criticizing the UN in the future, they start killing masses of people in an industrial scale.
Present and near future, long run... they lose.
Indians take control of your media, banks take control of your economy, the chinese take control of your industry, Generative AI dropped the IQ of everyone from 110 to sub-90.
They lose nothing.
Agreed, but what you're describing is short-term. 2,000 years ago there was someone who called himself, according to semi-accurate Bible translations, "The Son of Man". In Aramaic, Jesus called himself Barnasha (also spelled bar nasha or bar enasha). In Hebrew Ben means "son", just as Bar means "son" in Aramaic. For instance, Barnabas ("Son of Encouragement"), Barabbas ("Son of the Father") in Aramaic.
And Barnasha doesn't mean son of man in the genealogical sense. It's an idiom that means the human being. Or more accurately, the human one, the representative of humanity, the fully realized human being, the prototype of what humanity can become.
It may have taken two millennia, but I believe today we're closer than ever. So, nothing to worry about... in the end Barnasha will triumph.
Oh well. Doesn’t matter.
