I want to be very careful about what I say, but a new narrative is emerging out of the traditional argument between conservatives and socialists: that of a popular reaction against the �professional� political class that no longer represents democracy, freedom for all and the common good. I am not a Trump fan (nor am I American), but he does (or appears to) represent a revolution against a self-serving establishment.
I do begin to see that the goalposts are moving, and everything is changing. This is what can make everything so dangerous. I agree that the various figures in Europe seeking election are not Nazis or Fascists, and seek to break the present system that is stifling us.
I support something that will bring change, break the inevitable nature of some kind of �1984� type surveillance society and enable ordinary people like you and I to live dignified lives. It is frightening, because we can�t see what is coming. Everything is new and unprecedented. It is tempting to hide behind Establishment ideologies, but they are killing us.
I too will avoid the subject of politics here, because there is no one truth, and there is already enough conflict in this world.
