Well, 'freedom of speech' is also the fruit of democracy, can you explain to me what the dignity in slavery was and why life degraded for those affected by it being stopped? Or the people under the Spanish Inquisition?
You are being ridiculous andrey and sort of dishonest in your answer. It is not a question of "our perceptions" I am questioning the fundamental premise of Gyan; the BK World History view. All I am asking for it a clear explanation. Of course, the lower classes ... in fact, everyone ... were afraid to speak up. Read some history books.
Even, "Today we are free to speak ... our speaking has become meaningless". Is a second hand (and non-gyani) opinion.
For me, the increase in human, animal and environmental rights ... never mind healthcare, technology etc ... poses a big problem for the BKs. How does it fit into their World view? According the the theory, the world should have been destroyed by now and we should have been half way to the creation of their Golden Aged Palaces. 50 years for Destruction, 50 Years for Creation. Life should all be getting worse. I am sorry andrey but unlike you I spent time inside the organization and I know what I was told.
They had 10,000s of us, for decades, jumping through hooped backwards to please them on the premise that, by now, we should have been living in utter disaster or digging the foundations for heaven.
No detailed explanation is given on WHAT or HOW the social orders will be achieved ... except, "they will be the royalty ... and if you suck up to them, you might become their courtiers". All you have is a Hindu comic book version of a magic wand being waved, full-dressed deities popping out of stars falling from heaven, Dadi's wearing crowns and jewel encrusted palaces rising out of the ground.
Even Disneyland is more real ...
