My hope is that it will not come to this. I believe that the internet is changing everything, and that people everywhere are waking up to the fact that their governments and religious leaders are not telling them the truth and do not serve them. I believe that as time passes people will discover and internalize that they are citizens of the world, not subjects of their governments or gods.
They will look at other nations and other ways of doing things through the lens of reality, they will reject the ignorance and propaganda, and they will insist on change. We can already see this happening today. Look at who is resistant to change and who is embracing it. You think it's young people demanding the government spy on them or excusing it? Hardly.
That's what I believe anyway.
