Sane Discussion about insanity

Power, wealth and strength can be used to promote peace, goodness, kindness, inclusion, and promote prosperity for all. It can also be used to promote war, destruction, greed, self centeredness, hate, and robbing others of freedom. The world does not need more Putins, Xi Jinping's, Kim Jong Un's or Trumps. Bullies are not "strong men." They are weak and immature and we the people can either enable them or speak out and vote against them. We cannot afford to be exhausted by the onslaught of evil.

Evil, the unseen power, is the true enemy. The puppets of evil give it a face, the representatives,  that evil needs to manifest. Puppets come and go. The true power hides and recruits its representatives/replacements. Unity and commitment is our only light.

i agree that much of evil power and influence flies below the radar, but all of these "puppets" have volition, they are not simple wooden marionettes with no will of their own... they are complicit participants.

Yes, but simply defeating the puppets will not bring change in and of itself. It’s like having a water leak and focusing solely on removing the water without also determining the cause and to eliminate the entire problem. But absolutely, those who trade humanity for wealth/power are guilty all the same.
