Breaking News - words that literally represent what is happening

With elected representatives completely cut off from those they are supposed to represent, repression is taking various forms and there will be consequences.

Whether the situation is about unfair social and economic conditions, political relationships between states ie Brexit, freedom of expression, etc so called Western World is breaking down and now all kinds of repressive measures are being implemented or considered including the use of Armed Forces against civilians.

With ever more repressive legislation and increasing brutality on the streets, the Western World seems to be affected by some kind of Ebola virus that is disintegrating what we used to take for granted.

Trust in institutions that used to be sacred has collapsed and more and more people are ready and very willing to put their lives on the firing line to get what they need and what they want. The young - most particularly- are not willing to trust empty promises any more. The adult world has proven to be completely untrustworthy. Correspondence with public representatives is a lot less about asking for help for problems to be solved and a lot more about death threats.

The political and social environment is no longer about dialogue. The political and social environment is increasingly confrontational. 

To say that this is a lot more than political crisis would be one of the greatest understatements of all times. People are ready and willing to take justice into their own hands.
