Some claim the America is Babylon the Great... I haven't really looked into it though...

Facebook is the giant megaphone, and articles, stories, tweets, memes, and all the rest are designed to get your short attention span to click before moving on to the next click bait. It has many of the same flaws as cable style news. It doesn't engage your brain, it simply tugs at your instincts.

Global warming is not going to kill us, at least not in our lifetimes. Not to say that there's no need for concern... Even if the more, um... dire? predictions are true, Miami is not going to be wiped out by a 500' tidal wave the day after tomorrow.

There has always been some level of violence in the world. For much of the 20th century, Europe and the West have continued to be proven foolish when they attempt to achieve world peace by making war or violence against the law. I find the attempts simultaneously noble and arrogant. Unfortunately, they often ignore both reality and human nature.

I see I've wandered away from my point, which is this: The odds of finding something on Facebook that will make you happy are smaller than the odds of finding something that will make you unhappy, unless you carefully mange your news feed. And there's only so much managing that you can do. Let FB be how you socialize if you like, but get your news somewhere else. You'll be happier.

we decide which type of "news" we want to read and let us influence us. if we want to become "agents" of a better world, we need to start using discrimination. we cannot be passive about the information. we need to search for the type of news that really makes vibrate at a higher level. at the end of the day, it seems vibration affect the physical consequences.. we get depressed with bad news how can we give something nice to others, kind words if we are in such despair ourselves?

I invite anyone reading this lines to make a commitment to him-herself to become an instrument of a better world rather than letting being dragged by "who knows" chaotic agenda

Seriously though. Type in The Dodo on Facebook. They're always posting sweet videos and pictures of humans helping animals or animals recovering from otherwise horrible circumstances.

I have a feeling this is the beginning and the culmination will happen during Aquarius Pluto.

If you look back at history and the previous Aquarius Pluto transits you will see this theme of retaliation against the current world order that involved violence, war and loss of civilian lives.

18th century
- [b]French Revolution - one of the most important events in world history that reached far beyond just France. The abolishing of monarchies and the execution of the French noble family.

-American Revolutionary War - it started during Capricorn Pluto but ended in Aquarius Pluto and it has the absolute same theme, the rejection and opposition of British power and the recognition of the sovereignty of the United States.

16th century
- Henry VIII - his break with the Pope and the separation of the Church of England from the Roman Catholic Church.

- Martin Luther - while he was active during Capricorn Pluto, his ideas about the Reformation started to spread, again rebelling against the ultimate power back the - the church.

The only thing I am worried about now is if Aquarius Pluto will destroy our civilization or help it persevere...[/B]

Many prophecies talk about the same thing. A time where the earth seems to be ending, and then a new beginning quickly afterwards.

We already got through the worst part when it started in 2009-2014.

We are pretty much already at the ease time.

I appreciate the responses re: the astrology behind this. I realized after posting that it could spark a debate debunking, theorizing, etc. all kinds of issues our world is facing, and that was not my intention.

To those of you who told me to 'chill out' or making vague passive-aggressive statements about how people our age need to think critically... um, I am chill, and I think there are many many people wondering wtf is going on in this world. Am I aware that other decades/ centuries have ALSO faced a lot of violence and death and terror, etc. etc. ? YES, of course I am.

We are on an astrology forum. None of this is about logic/ pragmatism - it's about our views of what the planets are doing. My question was presented to discuss what is going on in the stars to cause what appears to me to be a very tense time, especially for the states, and perhaps other areas too. I think 'chill out' can also apply to people tackling down the thread. It's perfectly alright to notice the disharmony in the world and to want to investigate or hear points of view from an astrological standpoint.

I had friends who were directly impacted by the shooting at Pulse nightclub. I had friends who had to stay hidden inside the Stadium in Paris during the horrific shootings in November. To ME, it is new - the level of terror and violence, so I like to find other takes on what is happening. To ME, it feels like an 'end of days' energy. Not all of this is spurred by the media for me.

I like what meyrey said about ISIS being a consequence. A lot of this feels consequential. I also think it is VERY interesting to compare where we are with pluto cap/ pluto aqua to the revolutionary war in the States. How fascinating to see it as having never ended - I agree, it feels like division/ racism, etc, have NEVER been resolved issues.

I noticed I never experienced much or found out about much terror events on the news growing up except 9/11. But now there is isis and shootings and suicidal bombings are becoming the norm. I just don't know if it was from built up energy and it's slowly going to ween off? Or is it the new norm?

Like how war used to be the norm 1000 years ago. I dont know. Like I said i think the world needs bad things. I think it's just a new form of bad/disruptive energy in the age of aquarius/leo axis. I believe we just moved into it in the past several years. It's why people live for more pleasure (leo). The style of killing, for ISIS beheadings, is very fixed. Like the leo/aquarius axis. They just stand there, wait, wait, then unemotionally go and yeah. It seems unhumane because its different from the news we saw in the past- people robbing banks, acting out of deep emotions, now its emotionless and seems sociopathic and empty. But its raw, its just fixed energy.

Do we need bad things to happen? Maybe there is a better way where we can all be peaceful and loving. That takes care. Good luck getting people to care when it's easier to relax

No coincidence that right now the focus is on the corruption of power structures and how the wealth gap is getting more and more extreme, exposing how the government is only working in the best interests of the 1%. The US making its Pluto return in the early 2020s and Pluto heading into Aquarius, at the same time when the Neptune in Aquarius generation is coming of age, is VERY significant and is very likely the start of the Aquarian age (the current Pluto Capricorn/Neptune Pisces era FEELS like a transition between the Piscean and Aquarian ages).

Okay. Off my soapbox. This is an interesting topic to me, and I think it's "cool" (for want of a better word) to see what patterns happen astrologically that can cause upheaval.
