People say that Governments, and bankers and big business are destroying the world. But I call BS on this. The idea of these organisations (in general) is to make the world a better place.
The true culprit of universal destruction is the media. I'll go a step further and say more precisly that its social media and 24hour on demand news services.
With the advent of instantanious news feeds, a generation craves immediate release of information. But that doesn't mean that the information being released is always correct or presented in the correct context.
Stories today are being released with little to no factual evidence, actual journalism is well and truely out the window. Media sources generally have an agenda be it Pro Trump, Pro Renewables, Pro Pro Pro. Its rare to find a news reporting outlet that is actually journalistic rather than directed by an agenda.
If we rely on the media to educate ourselves about world events today, we are going to all go mental. Take the top page artigles on News.com.au today at 9am

Apart from the Trump story, how on earth does any of this rate as a top news story?
Can anyone tell us what policies the Australian Government is working on at the moment? Or do you just know the rhetoric of the news about Renewable Energy targets.
Can anyone explain the situation in Myanmar or the elections coming up in Uganda?
Actual world events that really matter to the world don't even get a look in, and this is making people stupid and ignorant to the world they are living in.
This is why political parties that are 100% bad news for the country get elected and further destroy the country. Biased media push stories down the publics neck slagging off the other party (happens both ways so we can't argue which party is worse), and the only way to win an election is to straight up LIE about something to trick the dripfed public into voting a certain way.
Take the current government in Canberra, say what you want about Turnbull but I think he has the potential to be a great leader. But what are the media saying, He's doing nothing, He's copying Left Wing policies, he doesn't have support, Abbot would be so much better, etc etc.
If the media just
then he would be able to govern, he'd be able to make a rational argument and present policies.
If you chastise a child every 2 seconds, the child will withdraw and never achieve anything. The same is true with politicians.
