Everybody says the world is fucked up...

It seems so easy to just say that its fucked up.
If you take nature of of the equation, its fucked up because of humans (obviously).
Its everybody's fault when you think about it... These big corporation are abusing some people so that WE can have our cheap shit.
Then again when you look at it in another way... these corporations don't force the people to work for them, the people choose to work in order to get a few cents a day. Otherwise they wouldn't have money at all.
Who is to blame in the end? Is it the consumers? the corporation? the politicians? Who? Everybody???
How do we make this fucked up place less fucked up? Any ideas?

Burn half of it down. And start over with the half not destroyed.

Utopia's are impossible.
Read the book "the giver" by lois lowry.
It feeds into exactly what you're posting. I had to read it my freshmen year of high school, and I'm so glad I did.

Great plan, and the half that is still alive will listen and fear us because we burned the other half down. Then I can rule everything... I mean us, we can rule everything...

Burn the side with the most military influence I guess.

Yeah, we need a new bomb. I'm sick of the "I'm gonna nuke you" threat from other countries. We need something new to worry about.

This half that isn't burned will have to re-populate the burned half of the world, eventually, and then the time will come to choose a leader. If I may go ahead and cast my ballot...

Perhaps a coin flip to decide? Or a ping pong tournament and the winner chooses?
No but seriously. You can pretty much pick ANY topic and go on for hours about how shitty it is and it will never change. I just choose to focus on my small city and block out the rest. Otherwise I would go fucking nuts thinking about all the crazy shit going on in the country.

Each country should have an honest currency system in place. Theres no need for depressions. We are currently being ripped off by banks.
We also need rules on monopolies and fair conduct in the banking system. The west has been fucking over the 3rd world with underhand tactics - those guys don't have a choice but to work for fuck all because of what we did...
Watch this, it explains better than me...
