What May 2026 Means to me

After listening carefully to what people were saying during the pally marches for the last couple of years, I noticed something. There seems to be an underlying gear system that is bringing all the different groups together. They have a common interest; most of them dislike democratic capitalist societies, they feel like they are unfair or evil. There is a bit of lee way but most of them are like that. They have a common goal, they want to bring a revolution to topple the government and transform our society into an autocratic one. 

Capitalist societies tend to let private companies deal with commerce and have a smaller public sector for the most important things like security and education. They pledge a share of the assets of precious metals and fuels as currency that can be divided up and traded very fast. 

Autocratic societies have a state government that controls commerce directly and divides up all their assets to provide for the population. 

There are some problems with their goals, they all have a different view of what the autocratic government should be. Some of them want to prop up a khalifa system, a king and counsel that submits to Sharia law. Others want a type of communism or strict socialist society.  The problem with autocratic societies is they tend to botch the wellbeing of their citizens. They have a department that is incompetent and wastes their resources too much and they don't have the self correcting of a free capitalist market. A lot of the autocratic societies I see in the world have a lot of poverty and the most common cause of death is malnutrition and violence. 

Half the year is passing by, what comes next? 

What May 2021 means to me

May 2021 was about voting Brits, Pestilence, conflict and a river of fire in the Congo. 

For the past 4 years, Westminster has treated the Northern Irish as a fifth wheel or obstacle for Brexit, not like a Brother nation in the Kingdom. We had a general election this month and the results revealed that the 4 nations of the United Kingdom are on a different page as a result. 

Nationalist parties gained more seats in Northern Ireland, I imagined people that had marched through the Streets of Belfast in Orange all their lives to show their commitment to the Kingdom looking over their shoulder and voting for Sinn Fien or something like that. Perhaps the Island of Ireland will be one state in the near future. A similar thing was happening in Scotland. 

Later in the month there was an exchange of missile fire in Palestine and Israel, the conflict escalated almost to the point of a war but it remained a rumour, the Egyptians stepped forward to negotiate peace, they seem like the go-to guys for peace talks. 

The C19 virus mutated more and was killing more people in the world, I got vaccinated this month along with millions of other Brits. The Pestilence of the C19 virus is very devastating, I have lost some family members. 

Towards the end of the month, mount Nyiragongo erupted and released a river of lava that destroyed towns nearby. I think the lava eventually reached the city of Goma. Thousands of people fled the disaster in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. I wish them all peace and good health. 

Then finally at the last bit of the month it was my Dad's birthday, the west Booths and East Booths were reunited at our parents house for the first time in over a year. 

Happy Times ahead? I hope so.
