Every government that's dictatorial, oppressive, power-oriented, and/or selfishly run by a small group of people or families, will fall. In front of God, we're all equal. We're different, we have different roles to play, but we're all equal. No one is greater than or more important than the other. The selfish governments of this world will soon come to an end.
People want to be free - free from their own selfish, oppressive and harmful ego, and free from other people's selfish, oppressive and harmful ego.
Freedom isn't about being free of government, it's about being free of the oppressive governments of this world. It's about finding freedom in the government of the next world, The kingdom of God. The kingdom of God is still a government, but it's governed by the qualities of love, bestowal and equality.
Some people think that separating from others is the answer, for example, what's happening in the Ukraine [1], what happened in The United Kingdom with the Scottish independence referendum [2] etc.
Separation isn't the answer. Our ego will continue to grow and we'll find new ways to hate each other. We'll hate each other so much that each person will want his/her own country. There are ~7 billion of us, they'll be 7 billion countries - and we'll all be miserable.
The only solution is connection. Connection makes us happy and it leads to efficiencies in economies of scale [3] and scope [4]. When resources are shared (police, hospitals, schools etc.), it's a lot cheaper and its better for the environment and all of Nature.
We have to change from personal selfishness (seeking to benefit ourselves) to mutual bestowal (seeking to benefit others). We have to rise above our egos, stop harming others and seek to benefit others instead of ourselves.
When we connect in mutual bestowal, all forms of selfish government will end, and we'll reach harmony and balance with each other and with all of Nature.
In everything we do, we should seek to benefit others instead of ourselves.
May The God of Israel, The One True God, The Infinite God, The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob guide us, may He lead us and may He show us the way.
Stay calm and do not be afraid.
God is with us.
