Today lots of people think the world they live in is modern, but the only things that are a bit modern are our computers, the cars, planes, trains, boats, houses are far from modern, because there was no progress in these things over the past decades. The people of the world only saw the capitalistic shiney (not modern) skyscrapers (offices, banks mainly) rising in the cities over the past sixty years. Modernizing a system means progress and advancemen, not nessasarely futuristic things, but adopting to nature is most efficient. What they (elites/imperialists) have done over the past fifty years is wasted trillions to their rising cities and their strange architectures. This world is their creation not of the people, the people never had the ability to influence anything, everything was created around us, and not in our advantage, but in their advantage. They gained power over every branch of the system over the past century, they have ideologically altered everything to their ideas/image. There is nothing really new to all this, because people have witnessed exactly the same (empires/imperialism) in many countries over the past thousands of years, in Egypt, Iraq(former Bagdad was Babylon), Rome, Germany, Russia, former Greece, North Korea, China, even in south America. All this history has happened, and again is it repeating, but this time on a global scale, and on a scale never seen before. The real change will not come, but if it comes it will be for a short period of time (when they need it to cause euforism in the masses) If they reach their goal, they will dominate the world for a few years or decades (Germany was a very short empire, only five years, but Rome took centuries) Nobody can predict how long this new (old) world will stay.
Kara Thrace is the harbinger of death. What has happened has happened before and will happen again. May the gods of Kobol protect us.
