Interesting ... that’s your take away about the real world after reading a work of fiction. ?
Have a look at this article https://theconversation.com/lord-of-the-flies-real-life-story-shows-how-humans-are-hard-wired-to-help-each-other-philosopher-138350
It notes “ Fiction is a powerful force in shaping social understanding ... .” It then goes on to discuss “Lord of the Flies,” by William Golding, and his depiction of marooned school age boys who savagely turn on each other.
The “Lord of the Flies” is contrasted with a “new book by Dutch historian Rutger Bregman, [entitled] Humankind... A Hopeful History.”
Humankind “challenges the dystopian scenario in Golding’s novel with a little-known real-life example of six boys in 1966 stranded in a deserted Island ... they survived because they lived in harmony, cooperating with one another, helping each other.”
I read this article when it way published in May of 2020. It was a simple, yet powerful way to demonstrate the fallacy that can be found in fiction. It was a real eye opener for me.
I share it with you now in light of your comment, as food for thought.
I do agree with you and that is one of the reason a appreciate this site

When you talked about fiction is a powerful force, I think 1984
Funny you should mention that, in light of my comment.
On that very subject I just read this ... https://patriots.win/p/11SKGc8usb/when-the-inmates-see-who-is-real/c/
You misunderstood me. That is what I took from the book. The ending is depressing and I would not compare it to trump. I am saying I dont see how the book applies to trump
It's one of a list of books you get when you take Q's trip code and punch it into the the Google books tab. Was always something we used to do when first surfaced. It gives a list of books that tell a story or presents a theme to where we are now. This is just one of many. I still have it opened on my phone from last night
Q had used the same trip code for a while I had forgotten about it. Someone had mentioned something last might that reminded me
Try it out.. See what else is listed.
Thanks for the information! I will look into that
There are some elements to the book such as the division, protest, and desires of the people that apply to present day...that is all
I guess I worded my response poorly. But I will say I do believe there will always be people seeking power and wealth. Its seen all throughout history and mankind. Weather they succeed or not that would be determined by events and people. In an ideal world they would not but here we are. Do I think the current people abusing power and wealth be taken down, yes! Will new ones rise? Most likely.
