Differences

Back to INDEX A 100 years should have brought dramatic changes, let alone a 1000 years but we see the human nature has not changed at all in matters of nobility and degradation.
  • Sacrifices for a cause are the same - for the kings then and for ideologies now
    Fighting was openly declared and pursued and now people fight in foreign soil to preserve ideology and interest at home, at gigantic loss of men and material (Vietnam, Afghanistan)
  • Killing and tortures for safeguarding borders then and now
    Thousands slaughtered mercilessly and tortured as the world watched in Bosnia, Kosovo, Iraq, Afghanistan, Chechnya,..
  • Destruction of opposition within and enemy outside then and now
    Opposing views only tolerated as long as they are weak, but powerful opposed at any cost and massive mechanisms to destroy opposition from outside to evil self-interests withh trickery and corruption, cruelty and torture - Anti-Nuclear movements, Environment and Anti-Extinction Groups within many countries brutally crushed, Spying and torture in foreign countries with local/foreign help
  • Imposition of ideas by force then and by forceful itimidation and media now
    Force of armies to change political thoughts and religions, media manipulation by lying and cheating
  • Rule of the rich and powerful then and election of the rich and manipulative now supplemented by power
    Kings with armies run with brutality and killing ruled and hard to get elected except in SIG with support of powerful secret groups and the army

Has anything changed radically at all??
