Hmmm… The developed are trying to go forward into an even better future, so who has the will step back & help those struggling to survive? Nietzsche (one of my favorites) doesn’t sound so good now, does he……! How do I respond to a similar crisis at the personal/domestic level?

WOW! A traumatic awakening is underway… 

This is what happens when extremists feel oppressed. 

Gagging such people is NOT the way to go! This is a test of the true quality & effectiveness of the current education of our youth.

Reminds me of the book on Nihilism I read recently… 

We desperately need the birth of a new political spirituality!

Superb article! Concise, clear & informative, therefore enjoyable…

How can law & order be maintained during such a mass spontaneous, democratic movement??

Compare with the Arab Spring & Occupy Wall Street.

Does protecting & promoting local culture also mean that one should be against globalization?
