The drivers of deviance within society, are always linked to how much despair there is in any said system and how overwhelming the challenges ahead appear to be. The only way to feel free is to deviant from a societal norm to feel some autonomy, youth when finding independence from a family system, or feeling bound to an aspect of culture within their society may always require a level of deviance for autonomy.
Deviance now may act as a rite of passage for comraderies in larger network of peers, knowing they are bound to each other in more than the rules pertaining to their societal order. As the many systems pertaining to societal order are so illogical and overwhelming today.
Yet we need order, to deter the masses from their own cultural biases of what is just persecution in a multicultural society. Yet when the systems of order have existing biases…
Again, we have a dichotomy.
We must become unhuman to collaborate it seems, unbiased, unemotive.
Yet a way forward requiring us to PC everything into a bland baseline to co-exist and still not find a way to protect water?
We are still prioritising ego over the commons in some way then are we not?
So, let us look at water.
As we give our oxygen to tech it seems…
and when Coca-Cola seems have been dewatering a West Australian Aquifer for free for a few generations now.
Global water imports and exports is a great place to start, when looking at global security, and who in fact has power in this domain.
Yet there are some troubling aspects to who is importing and exporting this precious commodity.

See footprint mapping is more complex than what runs from your taps, it is the amount of water that is required in everything you need to sustain your “lifestyle”. How much water goes into your cup of coffee, your clothes, your transport needs and everything manufactured that sustains your needs and norms.
Now reflect on that and again what is indeed sustainable culture.
Water trade impacts what cultures spread across the world, or rather the countries that use it for a cultural dominance or a voice in the game of global politics.
In Australia, our largest export partner for water is Japan.
France and Italy export the most globally, so much so France bans pesticides to protect its pristine export.
When we focus on bottled water alone, there are many companies who extract groundwater without control, artesian water which takes at least a few decades to be there. It is not a forever industry my friend, and in terms of planning for the security of many people, it is something one must be aware of.
A predominant issue in the many aspects of global security, also note the USA imports of water. A country with adequate internal water supply if managed within environmental guidelines and to suit sustainable needs. Yet the boundaries of business have been pushed to their limits there while embracing liberty, within the loose guidelines of the constitution. Egos and slavery found its way into the core values of companies during their expansions across the globe. As the united states, a child of colonisation was still trying to defining itself as seperate to the Monarchy, as it had been since 1776. So as a collective of states, it was still a child in terms of maturity one could say. And all children push boundaries to test the limits of what they can do, America and its business entities still needed a parent. Yet the slavers always thought themselves top of any foodchain.
Indigenous voices still yet to be recognized in the domain of sustainable land use from this hub of global business. As business and trade were seen as the drivers for peace post WW2.
Again we can factor in how many datacenters now reside in the united states, the water demand of these centres and maybe reflect that future expansion of the norms of America is not sustainable for humankind.
Not something we can repeat on Australian soil. Also a child as a collective, or maybe Australia is more a teen, in their 20s now. A wary extension of england, a cat empire of the crown. While the old wisdom of the land tied to the heart and soul of indigenous knowledge is really the parent we need to listen to for our future.
So I can reiterate, freedom isn’t free. But our lives are if we embrace interdependance of all things and have healthy ecosystems.
And see war is not a result of boredom, the ripples of battle impact the future of civilization itself. Yet in this day and age our enemy are companies and inadequate legislation to bound the growth of what does not serve the human race as a whole. What happens to the warrior within us all when we face this, as there appears to be no noble battle, no art of war in that domain.
How to soldier in this day and age.
See if enough of your culture remains overseas, how protected is your nation. Your nation is purely the imports and exports you provide as our cultural purity has been diluted.
So we see the nations that maintain cultural purity as a backbone to nationalism for control to guide what is the enemy, such as maybe what Georgia is doing, as it can, with its power in the water export sector. And we see the nations that take culture to preserve it maybe, which seems to be the case in Australia. Yet, the dance between conservatism and owning the extends of our continent are “trans” to survive as a nation with our co-dependency that has formed with a few key nations. See the stark challenges ahead of maintaining cohesion on the continent.
How to be an Australian today.
See health has been our solution to this, yet again we can over medicalize our existence into weakness too. The many aspects of healthy ecosystems that cannot be seen with the human eye that are disappearing from our known world, the beauty of the microbiome in our stomachs, water and soil.
Then there are those focused on racial supremacy, and the fact we are already being selectively bred. Selective breeding has occurred in all colonization regimes. Which now combine as one. So are we or are we not a Hitler machine?
You tell me.
Dire times my friend.
