It's not depressing, it's our history!

Where do you think we came from? Why do you think you're not living like them?

Pull the fragile carpet of Democracy, economical and political freedom, and we go straight back to our Feudal past. It has only been 300 years but that's enough to forget and take this world for granted, freedom and liberty are so overly abused words almost nobody can explain their true original meaning.

The only difference to the past is the grandeur, the monuments, the large roads to impose on the individuals the feeling of insignificance, to make crowds difficult to gather, preventing formation of groups and thus protests, and to crush them easier. Feudalism is universal, such roads are not a North Korean invention, they first appeared in Czarist St. Petesburg.

The ravaged look isn't accidental either. It's not for your eyes to see indeed because it is not prestigous to the non-fanatical, but the destruction oppresses the people reminding them of their miserable existance and keeping them menial and loyal, as the King is their only chance of salvation, from starvation included. If all was pretty and colorfull people would forget they must Obey, if each person painted their houses and dressed differently from each other, a dangerous individualism would instill a desire for different colors, different styles, different choices, different books, different newspapers, different cars, different politicians, different parties, different elections.
