I listened. I'm upset you assume EVERY American is the same - selfish, greedy, ignorant. I do agree there are a majority of individuals in this country who can claim that title, I am not in that crowd.
As far as the Federal Government... I am former military who is not pro America after I saw how other American military members were behaving while I was overseas. If you knew what is happening, you would understand.
I worked for the federal government in DC and Maryland after I served in the military. So, here is another part where I disagree with you. Does the federal government need improvement? Fuck yeah. But two things need to happen at once. There needs to be high standards & better quality human beings. That means a standard even for phone etiquette and Americans don't even have that. Again, just to be clear, I have traveled and lived outside the usa! I have other countries to compare the usa with.
The federal government was established for several reasons, one of which is to protect people from harm, example - FDA, EPA, OSHA. Without those agencies, we will have massive deaths. Those agencies should have been stricter. They controlled standards that kept food, water, waste removal, and working conditions, safe.
Lawlessness is not the answer and policing in America needs a reboot! The usa is considered a lawless and unsafe country despite having laws and a criminal justice system. We rank 132 out of 165 countries on the global peace index. The GPI uses a wide variety of standards to measure safety for the entire globe! And because of the republican party and a felon in office, we are officially on the humanitarian watch list!
You can have laws, courts, policing agencies but still be lawless and dangerous! Example: guns in America, violent serious crimes (rape, murder, sexual assault, home invasions, carjacking).
There are federal government agencies that need revamp but not dismantling.
After spending time in an organized democratic country then coming back to America, I was able to see how bad America really is. If I were a selfish, ignorant, greedy person, I would not care what is happening in politics so long as I could do everything I want.
But the mindset you are referring to is how we got here. A country of people who literally don't want anyone telling them what they can't do even when they are causing harm to others.
A successful country has structure. You can have freedom and still have rules. But what the felon in office is doing is trying to FORCE people into inhumane conditions to make people do what he wants, when he wants, and how he wants. He wants people to worship him, he wants complete Lawlessness except to punish others, he wants control of everything he touches, he wants money.
That is how sociopathic narcissist behave.
But I ask you to realize not every person in America is the same. I am dead set against greed and 100% for cohesive co-existence, kindness, care, and helping people, environment & animals included. If I see or know someone is in need, I help even if it puts me out. I am far from ignorant as I have common sense, street smart, traveled out of the usa a few times, and I even speak a little Japanese. I was raised way different from what I am seeing in the Red state i am stuck in.
I enjoy being a rare individual. I am here because right now I don't have a way out and because I can't leave my mother behind unprotected in a nursing home. If you think what is happening in the last 3 months is bad, try looking into nursing home (neglect, abuse, malpractice, murders, violent sexual assaults, robberies) in all 50 states. Ohio ranked 36 out of 50 in 2023, regarding how safe they are in America. That doesn't account for a rank among the countries that actually have nursing homes. I can assume from some of my research that the usa doesn't compare well when you look at the industry as a whole and across the board.
Oh, and by the way, this has been happening in American nursing homes for over 70 years!
The moment I can get out of this country, this time I'm not coming back.
I understand your reaction. But, these are the think tankers that make the policies stupid? Or is their plan so evil we *prefer* to think of it as “stupid”? It's about getting digital money, get Big Tech run the show. Here from Europe it looks like:
- Kinetic: Ukrainize the Philippines and Taiwan. Pakistan-India?
- Financial: Curtail the flow of USD into China’s treasury, by reducing imports of all foreign goods. Reduce tariffs on nations that agree to tariff China.
Trump’s overtures to Russia and Iran look fake, as though he’s creating the appearance of trying so the US can blame them later. (Like Hollande, Merkel, etc.).
Why not the same with China regarding trade?
As for political support, why would “empty shelves” matter? Nothing matters to Trump supporters. Just liked nothing mattered to supporters of Biden, Obama, Clinton, Dubya, etc.
The Democrats might “win” the midterms. But notice how quiet they are about war and trade. They’re quietly hoping to see “results”. They’re on the same team.
If food shelves go bare and riots erupt, the uniparty will post ED-209 outside their sprawling compounds and watch the cities burn. The serfs are “not their people” anyway.
Bottom line: The elites are evil, not stupid. Expect worse things to come.
Trying desperately to find something even slightly positive to say about Trump 2.0: maybe he’s not deliberately undermining the Constitution; he just doesn’t have a clue what’s in it.
