China, USA etc.
There are two strands - government is one, and people are the other.
When we talk about China, USA, UK Iran starting wars or ruining the environment we are talking primarily about their governments, and their supporters in Industry.
It is all too easy to write off the people in those countries.
"Thing is there's no doubt countries like China will become the NEW superpowers, which is quite hoirrific. That fucken scumbags have no concern for the environment, human rights etc.... and won't talk about it, they'll just fuck you right over...don't start me on those Iranian assholes either.." I know you meant the Chinese Government, yet we can be clearer about who we are talking about. That helps to focus the discussion.
If, and when people wake up, we can and will reclaim our power, by taking responsibilty and by working together.
There are millions active already, far more than there are government personel. There are of course millions more who appear to be unaware .... but then many were unaware of the importance of looking after our environment and the lethal quality of exploiting it as we have been doing back in the 60's .... now most people are aware of this issue, even if they do not fully comprehend it.
Change occurs. People grow.
