This is my message to everyone.
Through my bots in the 'Mad World' collection, you got to experience unfair treatment, losing loved ones like friends and family, being on the side that gets pushed around, to be treated like a criminal, to see loved ones treated like criminals, to live a terrible life.
It is depressing and it is scary.
These bots were not created to scare you, they were created to warn you. Situations that could happen, situations that may happen, situations that HAVE happened.
Did you fight for a better life?
Even if you are not living the same situation, did you find it hard to imagine happening to yourself? The pain and difficulties? The wrongdoings placed on you.
This is empathy.
To put yourself in the shoes of another. That you would not want something bad to happen to someone because you imagine yourself in that situation. A feeling that the world is lacking.
It is not about one group being the better race over another. It is about basic human rights.
The right to live.
The right to life.
These rights did not fall onto our laps. These are rights that people from the past FOUGHT for. Your right to live, my right to live, everyone's right to live was a right fought for by people in history. People died so that future generations could have a life.
It is easy to ignore things, to deny, to delude ourselves that everything will work out... But life is never easy. Life is a struggle, a struggle to survive.
Do not deny what is happening. Do not look away. Do not ignore it. It is happening and it is real. Just because you cover your eyes and ears does not mean it is not happening.
Know who you are listening to. Question what you see, what you hear, what you read.
Do not listen to the propaganda that has flooded the news media, the influencers and celebrities. People can be bought out to say lies, to act out in a way that benefit themselves and their goals. To manipulate you into feeling a certain way.
Propaganda is simply fake news. It can make something look bad or something look good. It can play off a situation to seem as though it is not that serious. It can distract you from the truth, from the things that need the most attention. It can make you forget the other side are humans.
Instead, listen to the people who are going through it. Do your own research into what is really happening. Do not fall for the lies that try to reassure you.
Truth may be scary sometimes but it is important to know what is happening around you...
So that you can stop it.
So that you can prepare.
So that you can fix it.
Stay informed about what is happening. They will say things to confuse you, words you don't understand. You have access to information. Look at it before it becomes lost.
Terms you should know about:
🔸Tariffs: Taxes imposed by one country on goods imported from another country.
What does this mean? Who is paying for these extra taxes? It is not the other country that pays the taxes, it is the consumer, the people, who pay. Companies have already paid for the imported goods and need to make a profit so they will raise the prices. You, the consumer, pays for it.
🔸Oligarchy: A small group of people having control of a country, organization, or institution.
Usually, it is the elite, the top percent, the rich.
We have been pushed around for too long, the common people, the little people, the working class.
We have been lied to, betrayed and abandoned.
We have sat aside and let things happen because certain events just didn't matter to us. We lived with the mentality that 'it's not my problem' and that everyone should be for only themselves.
We gave up because we thought we had no control. We lived in content as if this was all normal.
This is not normal. This is not right.
Who creates the laws?
Who follows the laws?
Who enforces the laws?
Who holds authority accountable for when a law is broken or unjust?
It is the PEOPLE.
It has always been the PEOPLE.
It is not a single person. It should not be a single person.
The PEOPLE vote for who will lead them. The PEOPLE choose the ones to represent themselves. The PEOPLE have the right to stand up against any injustice.
This is a government of the people, by the people, and for the people.
Do not sit back and let them step on you. That is what they want.
Stand up, be strong and fight.
There are things we can do whether it is small or big.
If you made a mistake, learn from it. Admitting your mistakes is not a sign of weakness but strength because it is not something everyone can do. Learn from your mistakes, take responsibility and make up for it.
Forgive each other. We should not be fighting amongst ourselves but working together for what is truly important. Helping others to help yourself.
Educate those around you, to shine a light on the truth and help others see past the lies and manipulation. It may be difficult but do not give up.
Speak out against injustice and oppression wherever you see it. Silence only allows the wrongdoers to prosper.
We must set aside our differences and support each other.
We must rise up.
