Hello. First of all, this will be a very pessimistic text, so be warned.

Today, after reading another interesting article in the magazine “National Geographic” I came to another conclusion that took a long time to be developed: I despise western culture, as it is today. And I think that it would deserve to come down for all its’ flaws and failures.

It is western culture that has lead to hypocritical assholes whose only concern is the money they have on their bank account. People who sacrifice human rights without any doubts. Western governments that destroy other countries for nothing else but greed or, even worse, the belief, to be a more advanced country than another and therefore have the god-give right to turn a country upside down, no matter how many lives it takes. Gouvernments which think that the western culture is the only valid way to go and that every other country has to follow their hypocritical way of life.

Sting once sung “History will teach us nothing” and that seems to be the only thing that history actually teaches. Despite knowing it better, we *still* kill other animals in the millions, we *still* kill other countries’ peopls for stupid reasons and we *still* think that our hypocritical way of life is the best there is.

I know, some will disagree with me and will point out the “good” things Western society has created. But, the question is: “When” were things like human rights expressed? Shouldn’t it make us doubt, that these things aren’t inventions of any recent government? Can we really be proud on what “Western Culture” has achieved, when all the good things we seem to rely our society on are things that have been invented centuries before anybody of us had been born? Can we really be proud on the fact, that most of us ridicule those glorious rules each day we live? And that so many of us cheer to our leaders, who, in my eyes, would be regarded as nothing but the lowest criminals in other societies for what they do?

I know, some (if anybody but me reads this blog, heh), will think I am too pessimistic. And maybe I am. All I can say that I am sick to my stomach about the way western culture has developed. And it gets worse everyday, when politicians and companies as well become more and more of tyrants who think that normal people are nothing but slaves without any rights. “Bow down and shut up”, this seems to be the way, our glorified western society develops. We are being told, what we are allowed to read, what we are allowed to say, how we should live our lives like ants and swallow every stupidity our leaders throw at us.

Let’s face it, western society is built on millions of gallons of blood of our and other countries’ people. And it’s not the leaders’ blood that has been spilt. And despite all the scientific advancements we had during the last years, western society has become worse and worse in that regard. In my eyes, so called democracy as it is today is nothing but a bad, blatant joke. And even worse is that most just do not seem to care or even notice it. So many of us are indeed like horses with blinders, not better than religious believers who follow their leader blindly. We ignore virtually every fact around us that shows how western standards have been perverted and turned into its’ opposite.

You know, sometimes I think that it would be best if a big comect would come down and would destroy this virus that is called humans. There *must* be a better way of living than our glorified western society, but I seriously doubt that the human kind as a whole is able or even willing to change. End of story.
