We just had our own revolution a few decades ago and we changed half the planet in the wake of it....Never again try to tell me or others that we can't change anything! It's incredibly disrespectful to someone like me, who had spend the first 13 years of his life unable to see his grandma and the other parts of his family because they happened to be on the other side of the iron curtain!

If it weren't for those millions of people the GDR and USSR would still exist. 

I'm the son of an eastern german refugee who grew up in western Germany, just for explanation.

I wouldn't go that far to say you're ignorant, but being an American might surely influence your way of thinking and especially considering capitalistic measures. You guys should really get out more, see more of this planet...widen your horizon. 

Again---NEVER think you can't change anything! They just WANT YOU TO BELIEVE THAT YOU CAN'T.

If they thought it would be more profitable to themselves they would never had allowed it. But congrats on winning the cold war. I recently went on a little jaunt across the pond and earth to Iraq and Afghanistan. Watched billions to trillions be spent on changing the world their. 

 

So much change I can hardly contain myself. So don't tell me who have friends " who will never see their family again" that a few humans can change anything.

 

A few rich couldn't get their loved ones over the wall one day probably,  maybe some paper work issue,  and they said never again. So they had their buddy at the Kremlin agree to tear it down. That is the likely story,  but they are happy to let everyone think it was free will and that we matter. 

 

But again,  glad you can see your family again. I feel bad for your generation and even North and South Koreans now. 

 

Our world can be horrible. 

I'm sad to hear that you had to endure that...war is terrible and especially senseless and unnecessary ones at that. 

And don't think I'm naive enough not to know that a lot of the stuff you're saying is true. Money does make the world go 'round.

But what you still need to remember is that YOU the PEOPLE SHOULD BE the ones in power, if you really want to consider your system to be a democratic one. We both know that the hypocrisy with the U.S. trying to export "democracy" while it seems to have huge problems in maintaining a functioning democracy ITSELF is kinda huge.
And to be frank that's the reason why you guys should have risen up LONG AGO already....instead of voting for a baffoon who can barely think and talk and has the intellect of a 12 year old bully.

But yeah...panem et circensis. Brot und Spiele. Bred and Games!
"As long as I can see the next show on reality TV I don't need to think about politics anymore. I don't understand it anyway.."

This kind of thinking is killing your society. It's more than needed that today's society is getting more and more politically interested and eganged! Dare to oppose your officials, or you'll end up in a dictatorship like many before already (and, to an extend, countries with similar minded people as Trump in power, like Russia or Turkey) which TODAY are essentially close to being dictatorships as well.
