The USA is falling. Can they rise above primitive temptations?
A good nation should exist as a goat exists.
Content, but also curious.
Vegetarian, but still hungry.
Peaceful, but armed with horns.
Happy, but intelligent.
The USA does not exist as a goat.
It exists as a cruel wolf, or a bird of prey.
It devours, kills, hurts, and gives nothing back.
It spies on its citizens, oppresses them by enforcing bizarre, unjust laws.
The USA has its endless wars, the sort of wars that Sun Tsu warned about, in "The Art of War".
Wars that even Eric Arthur Blair warned about in his book, "Nineteen Eighty-four".
The USA murders innocents, creates wars in the middle east, and then after causing so much damage, causes distress in its own citizens when it refuses to accept refugees and immigrants from the very countries the USA sent into turmoil.
There are truths to this world, and you must accept this one.
The USA has lost much of its prestige.
The world is on the tipping point of a grand, technological era.
We are about to enter a glorious age of enlightenment, but this enlightenment will be in China and Europe.
Not the USA. Not unless the USA chooses peace and diplomacy, rather than primitive violence, oppression, and force.
It is wise to arm yourself, but it is wiser to keep your sword sheathed until you need to protect the innocent, or defend yourself.
I refuse to accept the propaganda that claims that American wars are "defense".
You fight wars of offense in other countries. The USA is the aggressor, the bully, that nation is the enemy of peace, and because of countries like the USA, Russia, or areas like the Middle East, who have your primitive wars, the rest of the sane world cowers in fear that you end up doing something horrifyingly insane that could ruin the state of the world, and plunge all of humanity into a dark age, or worse, an extinction.
We know the sorts of plans a desperate military could try. Nuclear bombs. Nuclear radiation. Deadly, burning chemicals. Diseases sprayed from above, used to send entire cities into the dark. There needs to be peace in this world.
We don't need to use violence on people to fight for something honorable.
Our fighting must be for the hearts and minds of people, to encourage them to engage in kindness, hard work, intelligence, and other aspects that make a country truly great. This greatness should not be for show, and only appear as bravado.
The greatness needs to be seen from within, by all of us.
We are the future, so we must lead ourselves into a glorious future.
just like every other nations that ever existed. the usa is based on that... it started that way.. its the nature of man to be loving but also cruel
Aye.
Still, I want to see more love. Not all nations need to be this way.
We can go above the "nature of man", and choose our own destiny.
that would only happen if we all started doing advanced yoga techniques... unlikely to happen... if you really want this to happen become a yoga teacher
Extinction is better than a Chi-com enlightenment.
Yeah, in some ways, but you have to be realistic here.
They're only humans, so they're just as flawed as us.
It's very hard to have a perfectly fair and reasonable government and nation.
It's very easy to not continue to pursue a political system that has resulted in the deaths of hundreds of millions. There are over a billion of them. If there was a societal move toward liberty, no force could stop it. We, unfortunately, are joining them. This is Nixon's legacy, to be subjugated and devoured by the communist beast. We do still have a chance, but it is fading quickly.
