Are we on the cusp of another dark age, in comparison to where we currently stand?
In this current pandemic, both those that believe that it is real and those that believe that it is a government farce, under their respective governments and regimes, seem to be more adamant about voicing their discontentment. Whether you agree or disagree with certain arguments is not the issue. The fact is individuals under the control of what some would consider both democratic and nondemocratic governments and those under authoritarian and nonauthoritarian regimes are experiencing unprecedented stress on their current systems.
Civil unrest and distrust from populations in general, within existing governments and institutions of all kinds, seem to be spreading with more frequency and intensity. This distrust is not only more visible nonauthoritarian and democratic regimes but, also unusually more visible in more authoritarian and less democratic regimes. Governmental and nongovernmental entities of various political systems are beginning to cutoff or limit the communicational networks between peoples within and without their borders. They are doing this out of the fear of what they personally define as civil unrest, schisms, or insurrections.
Under the justification of preventing general schisms, civil unrest, insurrection, or treason many are limiting, censoring, or barring various accesses to communicational networks. These various limitations are not isolated to one location or point of view in the world.
The results of this slippery slope are already beginning to appear. The same justification (by dictionary definition) used by the more democratic and less authoritarian nations and regimes to prevent civil unrest are being used by less nondemocratic and more authoritarian nations and regimes. Of course, these justifications are not in the same spirt.
Some authoritarian regimes are even making what would appear to be bold moves to expand or solidify their current power. Or these current extreme measures being enacted could even be attributed to simply maintaining their current power and influence amidst the seemly period of chaos.
Barriers to communications, from various sides, is just one of the latest tools utilized by those wishing to remain in power, their opposition, extremists on all sides, as well as those on all sides wishing to avoid chaos. Communicational networks both denouncing and promoting different agendas are being censored or eliminated within many national, international, and spectrums. These actions are not limited to a type of nation, country, particular continent, or the what the dissenting population subscribes. These limitations are even extended outside the immediate scope of politics. Populations from differing and various regimes and governments that are less authoritarian, more authoritarian, more accountable to the will of the people, and less accountable to the will of their people seem to be selecting and cutting off modes and avenues of communications. Not only are they attempting to cutoff communicational networks of their populace from outside their geographic location, but also their populace from each other within their geographical location.
In this moment global crises that we have we are experiencing it seems to me that these situations are isolating and making us more competitively aggressive and suspicious each other rather than bringing us more cooperative with one another. It appears to me that nations, cultures, and long held institutions are not only experiencing increased and more frequent divisions, but also strengthened schisms. Populations on all sides are becoming more vocal. Different polarizations of differing views and opinions seem to be to growing rather than receding as well as becoming more actively reactionary. Extremists of many sides and of many opinions seem to be growing in numbers, becoming more hardened, and/or more entrenched with more strident followers. And those splintered groups that have been thwarted, both for and against all the many arguments, are regrouping. Extremism as well as good as separatism for the good or bad, depending on your point of view, seem to be emboldened and making more of a significant foothold in societies throughout the world.

About the Author
Ever since Jeremy Boggess was a small child, he has felt that there would be a chain of events set in motion and that his task would be to help us all through those changes.
He was born in 1971 in the United States of America, and in 2016 moved to Europe. In the 2000’s he ran for the Idaho Senate several times as an independent with a desire to make a positive contribution to the lives of people.

He graduated from Boise State University and Lewis-Clark State College with business degrees. Additionally, since childhood, he has studied philosophy and sociology because of his concern for the future of humankind.
