Trouble is that every "eco-system" including societal issues, is in a state of perpetual change around a centre of quasi-balance, and so far, every attempt at Intervention™ by the Gurus of Social Science has never once resolved a single Issue™, but has instead actually created more Issues™. You cannot throw an engine out of kilter while it is raging along and not expect it to disintegrate.
Let us take the example of Prohibition in the US - rather than resolving the relatively minor issue of drunkenness and misbehaviour, it actually lead to the development of Organised Crime™, a far greater social ill than partaking of the Water of Life - so called because even if it did not fix your aching gums or grumbling bowels or crook back, it sure made them feel better, so must be Water of Life and medicinal, eh?
Look at Affirmative Action - rather than resolving a single Issue™, it actually gave rise to countless new Issues™ of Equal Treatment™ and Equality™, Social Standing, Equity™and countless other (gasps) Trickledown™ effects.
Look at the attempts to resolve the alleged power imbalance in personal relationships - again, rather than resolving any real Issue™, all this has done is shovel more Power™ to one side of the equation, thus in no way even pretending to Resolve™ the Issues™ - but rather seeking to replace the normal ebb and flow of Power™ in a normal relationship with a reign of terror and of Official Violence against one side without let and often without any legal, moral, or social justification (no need when you hold all the power!).
Again - another short tale of a woman wounded and captured by the Germans in 1941-2 while working in a Russian field hospital... after her "liberation" she expected to go home and be considered a good citizen for her service and suffering for the nation - instead, for the crime of being captured by the Nazis, she was imprisoned and then publicly scorned for her whole life.... by the very people she thought were her friends, allies, and "national family". Those with the Power™ had zero obligation to even begin to treat her fairly or even in accordance with facts (sound familiar?), and were, literally, a Law Unto Themselves.
Think on this, Poppets - how terribly reminiscent this is of certain aspects of modern governance here - or anywhere where the "powers that be" are handed unlimited power (as they always have held here in this poor benighted convict colony settlement derived nation, in which the "betters" have always trodden over their "inferiors" without a second thought).
Can you not see that the time is long past for meaningful change for the better, instead of forever going backwards and downhill to suit any prevailing tide of loud voices screaming in the streets for what they consider their share of the pie - and stuff everyone else?
Sociopathy knows no boundaries... and only the strong man can stand apart from his basic animal instinct to rip the flesh from someone else to get his share of the nation's carcasse.
For those who do not understand - I use the ™ to denote that some group has actually trademarked the subject and content of what I have marked ™ - has taken it over and made it their Own™ without thought or consideration for others (again)...
