Since the rise of Trump and the political fervour surrounding him from both sides the rhetoric has just escalated to a new level or at least that is my perception as a "foreigner". Do you guys feel there is ever going to be a more accepting middle ground between the 2 parties or even the potential politically for a new party to take that middle ground and become a force in years to come? Love to know your thoughts. The "Let's go Brandon," cry tells it all. The News says, "Who are you going to believe, me or your lying ears." By saying, "Let's go Brandon, we mock those who want to tell us how to live." Books like 1965 and Animal Farm are now considered subversive by the administration and the left. And, we have the right that believes in science: 1. A new human with rights is created at fertilization with his/her own unique genetic code. 2. If you are XX, you are female. If you are XY, you are male. Then, we have the left that says "my desires trump science." The left says everyone should be able to be happy 100% of the time. The right says life is work and don't expect to have a problem free life. Lastly, the left doesn't believe in free speech, only speech they approve of. They believe they are Gods that can determine what allowable speech is. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SUZNV + 1,197 April 15, 2023 (edited) On 3/23/2023 at 5:58 AM, Rob Plant said: Love to know your thoughts. Below is my conclusion (after using ChatGPT to correct my writing and I proof read): The populous system in the US is a feature by designed. The world don't really understand US young fresh culture without a deep history and US don't understand the world's deep historical culture, especially in Europe. And I am by all mean no religion, no worship, but love philosophy . The US can afford individualism because most of its founders were members of the educated elite class, but building a decentralized system for commoners. This is very rare, if not unique, in world history. The soul of the system originated from the decentralized UK's Protestants, who lacked a centralized Vatican ( unlike Spanish and Portuguese South America. Although these regions had similar starting points, they ended up with different outcomes). The security of the decentralized government and individualism was ensured by geopolitics. To glue everything together, a soul was needed, one that was both religious and focused on common goals for security, while also accumulating private wealth. The religious component is crucial. "All men are created equal" does not imply that everyone is born equal, but rather that we are all equal in death. The justice system depends on faith and a guilt-based culture, in addition to laws. All of the above combined into a fresh culture that had never existed anywhere else before, on top of Adam Smith's economy. The decentralized, religious, Adam Smith-inspired, and isolationist culture was unique. Europe and the rest of the world have experienced many significant cultural changes, such as colonialism, the French Revolution, World War I, World War II, and the collapse of kingdoms in East Asia, among others. Based on the aforementioned ideology, most common Americans belonged to a "Frontier" type background until the 20th century. They were impoverished, yet had strong moral values, worked diligently to secure their family's assets, and were largely disinterested in politics. As a result, they elected super delegates to represent their interests in Washington D.C. Their focus was largely domestic, and they engaged in trade with other nations while maintaining a uniquely isolated culture. The primary positive trait of these Frontiersmen was their bravery and love of freedom, while the negative was a "mind your own business" attitude that some found uncivilized. They detested the idea of a large government providing security. The super delegate system made the US more of a Republic than a Democracy, a term both political parties still use. Individualism and the Super Delegate system are the ingenious responses to Plato's view of Democracy. He claimed that democracy was dangerous due to excessive freedom, and that a system where everyone has the right to rule could enable self-serving individuals motivated by personal desires to attain power. From the aforementioned culture, the US became the world's number one superpower with its current voting system, in a globalized culture and economy. However, most US-born citizens today do not possess the deep level of knowledge about world history, particularly in Europe, Greece, and Rome's philosophers and political systems, like the founding fathers did. Instead, they prioritize accumulating wealth. Alongside wealth, there is less emphasis on religious and moral values and bravery, but a focus on the stock market and making money. The new elites do not possess the same moral values as the founding fathers, but aim to secure their wealth through lobbying, much like how governments try to expand their power to secure their own interests. In great times, weak men seek security, and it's not anyone's fault really, as it is human nature and everyone has a different answer to the meaning of life. Philosophy, history, or understanding the world doesn't help much when it comes to individual stock picks. Benjamin Franklin said: "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." Besides selling fear and hate to gain power, both political parties in the US have been playing the game of divide and conquer since WW2, first with the Cold War, then for globalization. Individualism is a threat to any government because the government's role is to provide security and manage the country, and more individual freedom means less manageability and less job security for full-time politicians. Religions, races, ages, education levels, and other backgrounds are simply tools used to divide people. In a perfect world where everyone is united and helps each other, the government's only function is to offer security. However, historically, the government's role is to manage, and the bigger it is, the more manageable but less freedom there is, which leads to no self-adjustment to fix mistakes. Globalization has also created a need for a larger US government. Currently, the US is an empire projecting power outside but is empty inside. There is a conflict between focusing on healing within the US or continuing to project power outward to secure globalization. US after Many foreign governments don't like US individualism as it undermined their power when US offer security to its ally already (maybe until It couldn't). Common people outside of the US often don't understand or have any experience with individualism from their history or culture. In many cases, without a big government, a country could be annexed by its neighbors or simply robbed. This was popular worldwide until the end of WW2. This is where the US failed to introduce their "democracy" in Vietnam or Afghanistan. The people there didn't have a chance to start from a fresh culture like in the US and under the spell of history and geopolitics. All they saw was their countries being occupied. US previous gov traded Yeltsin who gave up Soviet Union geopolitics advantage for Putin who wants to get it back just for their old and new allies forming the EU and buying cheap Gas. After WW2 US changed the world with globalization, peace and prosperity. But in return the world changed US with materialistic consumption and foreign imported ideologies, which leads to current domestically conflicts without a real answer. I am curious how thing ends. “the only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” This is still the best historical century in history so far, materialistically.

In all, he has received 11 military decorations, including the Legion of Merit. Powell earned an MBA at George Washington University in Washington, D.C., and after being promoted to major, won a White House Fellowship. Powell was assigned to the Office of Management and Budget during the administration of President Nixon, and there he made a lasting impression on the director and the deputy director of the Office: Caspar Weinberger and Frank Carlucci.
