United States celebrates 4th of July 2022 with fireworks in commemoration of independence.
In the contemporary era, independence is not just tied to sovereignty and individual liberty. In fact freedom or relief from economic decline like skyrocketing inflation, unemployment in the absence of necessary economic growth and development resulting in stagflation is the biggest challenge.
Other important factors in politics with contagion effect across the spectrum are corruption, abuse of power and treason against nation and citizens funding the government and politics. The malfeasance subvert democracy with no accountability regardless of heinous crimes by those at the helm as head of the government and nation at large.
The situation upholds misuse of power, exploitation of the weak and vulnerable in society while falsehood and fake news replaces truth and reality. War is pursued rejecting peace to exhibit military might and nuclear potency.
Human life has no value let alone human rights in the world with preference and prejudice remain the cornerstone for hierarchy and subjugation.
Authority exercising power exceeding into extra judicial indulgence with political impunity is institutionalized in the so-called democracy.
There is neither guilt nor shame in crimes against nation and citizens amongst the highest bearing titles and designations setting example for the rest to follow suit.
However, the crimes brought to public attention receive militant violent response exposing the offensive defense against indefensible actions and policy decisions affecting millions of lives and a major let down of the country.
Under these circumstances, independence has increasingly transformed into privilege rather than every nation’s sovereign right and every citizen’s inalienable natural status.
Power corrupts human mind and absolute power corrupts absolutely with pervasive impact.
Happy 4th of July!
