Social Similarities Between World War 1 and the Present Time
There are some concerning social similarities between the lead-up to World War 1 and the present day that could potentially increase the risk of another global conflict:
Nationalism and Militarism:
* Rising nationalism: In the years leading up to World War 1, Europe was gripped by a fervent sense of nationalism, with each nation believing in its own superiority and destiny. Today, we see a similar rise in nationalist sentiment in many parts of the world, often accompanied by calls for increased military spending and a more assertive foreign policy.
* Militaristic rhetoric: The language used by some political leaders today often echoes the bellicose rhetoric of pre-WW1 Europe. Terms like "dominance," "might makes right," and "crushing our enemies" are becoming increasingly common, which can exacerbate tensions and normalize the idea of violence as a solution to conflict.
Economic Inequality and Discontent:
* Growing wealth gap: The gap between the rich and the poor is widening in many countries, leading to widespread economic insecurity and resentment. This was also a major factor in the unrest that preceded World War 1, as millions of people struggled to make ends meet while a privileged few enjoyed immense wealth.
* Erosion of trust in institutions: Public trust in governments, international organizations, and the media has been declining in recent years. This can create a breeding ground for conspiracy theories, polarization, and a general sense of disillusionment with the status quo, all of which can contribute to conflict.
Failure of Diplomacy and Alliances:
* Breakdown of communication: In the years leading up to World War 1, there were numerous diplomatic failures that could have prevented the conflict. Today, we see a similar lack of trust and communication between major powers, which can make it difficult to resolve disputes peacefully.
* Entangling alliances: The complex web of alliances that existed in Europe before World War 1 meant that a small conflict could quickly escalate into a larger war. Today, we see a similar system of alliances in place, particularly in Asia, which could potentially draw more countries into a conflict that starts regionally.
There are also many significant differences, such as the existence of nuclear weapons and the interconnectedness of the global economy. However, it is important to be aware of these historical parallels and to work towards preventing the mistakes of the past from being repeated.
Financial Debt of the World Then and Now:
Global debt has been on a steady rise since the early 2000s, and as of 2023, it stands at a staggering $341 trillion. This is more than three times the size of the global economy, and it represents a significant increase from the $54 trillion in debt that existed in 2007, just before the financial crisis.
Global Debt Trend from 2000 to 2023
There are a number of factors that have contributed to this rise in debt, including:
* The increasing cost of healthcare and education
* The aging of the population in many countries
* The rise of income inequality
* The financial crisis of 2008
* The COVID-19 pandemic
The high level of global debt is a major concern for a number of reasons. It can make it more difficult for governments to respond to future crises, it can lead to higher taxes and inflation, and it can make countries more vulnerable to financial shocks.
It is important to note that the level of debt relative to the size of the economy (debt-to-GDP ratio) is more important than the absolute level of debt. For example, while the United States has one of the highest levels of debt in the world, its debt-to-GDP ratio is lower than that of many other developed countries.
However, even with a relatively low debt-to-GDP ratio, high levels of debt can still be a burden on a country. For example, the United States spends a significant portion of its budget on interest payments on its debt, which could otherwise be used for other priorities such as education, healthcare, and infrastructure.
It is important to monitor the level of global debt and to take steps to reduce it in a sustainable way. This will help to make the global economy more resilient and to prevent future financial crises.
So to sum up, nationalism according to the dictionary, means identification with one's own nation and support for its interests, especially to the exclusion or detriment of the interests of other nations. This is the enemy of globalism which has been on the docket for the past decades. In America, nationalism is considered racist which is the defense of the globalists that want a new world order. The council on foreign relations, club of Rome, trilateral commission, world economic forum and even the United Nations all have been pushing for a new world order by coercion, blackmail and monopolies via corporate interests.
It is paramount to understand that the elite are using the same tactics of social engineering pre world war 1 by claiming we are weak and complacent. They are subliminally asking for a world war to set the stage back to normalcy. This includes the global diversity programs that fines companies for not being woke and shaming corporations on climate change initiatives via agenda 2030. These are warfare tactics to stir anger in all countries to put an end to the obviously failing programs. San Fransisco, for example, is testing a program that pays criminals $300 a month to not murder people. This is designed to steer public opinion and the government officials are aware of this. World War 3 will not be organic or natural. Germany did exactly what America is doing to their own citizens through social engineering and the world debt is exactly the same. What’s missing is the Hitler for America who starts picking fights globally to remove nationalism.
