Greetings good citizen, it's sort of a default 'intellectual game' that we 'all' play at least once, the game where we imagine what the world would be like if WE were 'in charge'.
99% of us pass out before getting beyond the first 'law of the land'...the one declaring the bars would remain open 24/7 and at least YOUR drinks would be 'on the house'! [With the occasional 'free round' thrown in every couple of hours to keep the 'peasants' happy!
Nobody is gonna say 'down with King you!'
Part A.) of everybody's 'fantasy world' is your people would be 'happy' and you'd make their problems 'go away' without ever hearing or acting to change a single one.
Outrageous? Of course not, it's YOUR fantasy!
Other people's fantasy kingdoms are a wee smidge darker than that but by and large the first order of business is declaring yourself 'Good King'.
[In fantasy land it's your way or the highway!]
In YOUR fantasy nobody [can or had better...the oh-oh squad is just a finger snap away] present a problem that doesn't simply melt out of existence upon announcement.
Truth be told, most fantasies don't get much further than the party you throw to celebrate your imaginary coronation.
The 'problem of the moment' (whatever spurs your infrequent visists to the fantasy world where YOU are King) is generally solved in twenty seconds; usually with a mental 'I'd bomb the shit out of 'em' and then it's back to reality.
Most of us don't spend a lot of time sporting a crown and making royal proclaimations.
The imaginary crown usually turns up when we visit 'our castle'...and if anything is out of place [that you weren't personally responsible for] you seriously consider having the offender drawn and quartered but, being the 'merciful king' that you are, you usually relent in the end.
Besides, you never want to make the Eleven O'clock news as the headlining story 'Man/Woman sought in connection with a brutal disembowelment...'
In the 'real world you know you aren't the king so waving your sceptre around is merely liable to poke someone's eye out!
The question most of us never face in our fantasies is the reality check of 'would ANYBODY [besides yourself] want to live in a world where YOU are the 'soveriegn'?'
If we asked that differently and put YOU in the position of being a...well, let's call the job 'serf' for lack of a better title...
Would YOU want to live in somebody else's fantasy kingdom?
Short answer, HELL NO!
Then I've got some bad news for you.
Good news, 'somebody else' doesn't know you exist...bad news, you MUST DO everything in your power to make sure it STAYS THAT WAY!
Um, part of the reason this 'civilization' is as screwed up as it is can be directly attributed to people not spending ENOUGH time considering the kind of world they 'should be' living in.
Call it a 'failure to imagine'.
Since no one is asked for input, we 'accept' the outcomes that are handed to us.
You will never find the question 'what would make your life better?' on the ballot and most assuredly, the royals NEVER asked [or asked the right people if they ever did inquire...]
THIS IS A HUGE MISTAKE!
The beginning of this, 'error' is the only people who get a 'better world' are the ones who already have everything they want...
If YOU need 'relief' [remember, The Terror is never far from their minds, what CAUSED The Terror? THEIR ADVISORS!
The clueless royals asked the people that handled their 'public affairs' why are thhe people rioting? and the shiftless minions, that had been skimming the funds for themselves shrugged and acted clueless themselves.
Which brings us full circle to 'if you want the job done right...'
Some things CAN'T BE 'DELEGATED'.
[But I preacheth to the chior.]
Things are NEVER going to get better for you because the people in charge of keeping YOU pacified are taking what they are given for you and putting it in their own pocket.
When the time comes, guess who is screaming 'Up the Revolution' the loudest?
Like you need to ask.
Honestly good citizen, would you live in a world run by somebody that didn't give a crap about you?
Of course not...so why do you put up with this nonsense?
Thanks for letting me inside your head,
