Most of the current problems that we have are caused by the politicians directly, and not by covid/war/whatever, and sadly, they're the first that will have to go, if we want to return to somewhat normal future.
America invades a country that has nothing to do with 9/11 and kills 500k+ (realistically 1mm+) civilians, no one stands with Iraq, and if they do they're terrorist states.
You know you can't see propaganda when...
The current situations are caused by politicians but politicians from dozens of countries. Politicians chose to invade Ukraine. Politicians financed the making of vaccines which provided enough confidence for economies to open up again. Politicians chose China's zero covid policy. Politicians flooded the market with money which led to inflation but also prevented a collapse during covid and allowed the poorest among us to survive. Politicians do both good and cause harm. They also provide representation, without them your other options are dictatorships or anarchy.
"they're the first that will have to go, if we want to return to somewhat normal future." how are you suggesting they "go"?
This is a normal future, there is very little going on right now that has not happened a dozen times before, its just people doing people things.
so what... A country has a minority, minority wants to separate, the main country won't let them, and fights happen between the main country and the minority, a big player steps in and destroys the main country to "save the minority" (and gain whatever their geopolitical interest was). Kosovo, ukraine, same shit, different players.

Meh... you need just one large country to succeed in their "revolution" (or whatever it will be called), by pulling their politicians out from their high security buildings and removing them from power one way or another, a few more will follow, and the rest will get scared and start actually doing something good for the people. The hypocricy we've seen during the covid era should not ever be forgotten, and the human rights violations neither. Let's also not forget the people who fly to Brussles twice per week in private government planes and tell their people not to drive cars due to ecology.

In serbia people stormed the government buildings until milosevic stepped down. In france, they used a bit stronger, headless approach. It all depends on what works.

Not really... in the past, the politicians were "removed" one way or another many many times,... this current peaceful era is more of an anomaly.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say this poster seems to essentially be dog whistling for assassinations.
Look at america for example... a bunch of senile should-be-pensioners are leading the country on basically all levels. Look at EU, a bunch of unelected people in brussles want to break e2e encryption and intruduce private message monitoring.. "for the children". Look at shanghai and their lockdowns. Look at global realestate prices. Look at the profits vs wages ratio.
I mean... something will happen sooner or later, if we want it, call for it, or not.
No matter what the revolution, it never leads to utopia, it just leads to another group of politicians. An effective Democracy is the best option. Issue is a ton of people choose not to vote and instead just complain. Its far from perfect but better than the alternatives.
"Look at global realestate prices. Look at the profits vs wages ratio" these are the results of capitalism and while I agree there are some massive limitations to it, it has lifted billions out of poverty and subsistence level living. Perhaps technology will lead to a better solution but right now I dont think we have one and just kicking over the sandcastle is not going to make things better and will very likely make things much much worse.
This... almost works for the crimea situation years ago but Russia is now just attempting a full scale takeover of the country. I can tell Ukraine isn't into it because of how much they're fighting back.
The only real difference is propaganda.... US was "bombing for peace" ( https://content.time.com/time/magazine/archive/covers/1995/1... ), and the current RUS-UA propaganda is basically a giant shitshow, where by reading the media, russia is losing every day, and the fighters from azovstal are being "evacuated" (...by russia... as prisoners of war... but the word used was "evacuated").
There are few well written articles about yugoslavia post 1991, but here's one of them, complete with western sources: https://web.archive.org/web/20200319062355/http://www.michae...
