What better Ideals are there that will defeat ISIS dark age society?

Another part of magical regressive "me-first" economic inequality demands that for every stolen, I mean "earned" dollar, not even a single penny of that stolen wealth redistribution system is to be taxed, (ever) as it was stolen "fair & all things wealth related being equal for the ruling elites" from the poor/middle class, (including the relative devalued worth of human exertion potential underpaid as constantly mislabeled "unskilled" labor). It's true that regressive economic theory demands that those who do not benefit from the wealth redistribution stream are supposed to be constantly saturated with meaningless economic cargo science Our simple minds can never fully comprehend the elegant scam that grand wealth accumulation represents by those with an obsessive addiction for excessive wealth hoarding who are truly, the real victims of their wealth obsession, we are but poor unaffiliated bystanders to economic misery history in the making. Only the wealthy know what must be done with wealth, the poor/middle class do not have the capacity to dream big and manipulate the socioeconomic machine to make it work for the demands of the few at the expense of poor unenlightened masses.

Money replaced the human survival instinct long ago and as such, an insane obsession with accumulating excessive quantities of "survival capital" has corrupted the human capacity for empathy in sufficient quantities to make even the most glaring evidence of human suffering, insufficiently inconvenient for those with the most "survival capital" to part ways with their self-serving wealth. If it wasn't for the scam of foundations, charities, trusts and other tax-loophole distractions, the wealth of the ruling class would never leave the death-grip of their cold, hard money-grubbing hands. The only thing missing from my response is the relative dearth of attention I've given to the GOP menace.

Politics is all about divide & conquer, the GOP is obsessed with wealth/power, they could care less about the plight of the poor/middle class, the GOP is totally convinced that weak, (read poor or non-white) people do not "deserve" to survive and deserve to be exploited until they die providing a profitable unequally beneficial labor intensive service for the ruling class. If poor people had a relative wealth of anything profitable besides their underpaid/undervalued labor potential, you can bet the GOP would be praising their existence by heaping all sorts of special privileges on them, much like they do for their wealthy corporate/individual benefactors.

Not essentially but literally religious dogma, no basis in any natural reality, not explainable by any natural sciences, pure arbitrary belief (not to mention long since scientifically debunked).

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
