Unlike Europe in general, the U.S. uses lots of white supremacy and superiority rhetoric to justify many political moves, and definitely battling it is not the same as advocating or adopting it. We proudly use voter suppression laws wherever we can, using any tactic or twist we find in the book, but we do not realize that passing laws to prevent voter suppression is not the same as passing laws to suppress it. Fighting for our democracy is not as seeking to destroy it.
The media and lots of centrists from both major parties, try constantly to equate both sides. Calling one side the left and the other the right, with different degrees and ranks. Suggesting there's a fair moderate middle between hate and inclusion, between democracy and protofascism, this is naïve, misleading, dangerous and morally wrong, let's not all fall for it.
Now is not the time to hit the pause button on social projects, nor sit and have endless discussions about what's what and who's who, now is the time to take bold actions, courageous decisions, work hard and rebuild period. Democrats need to unite and vote like Democrats. They have the House, they have the Senate, they have the presidency and the White House, they should act like it, and deliver real results for all Americans, in fact the Federal infrastructure bill must be big, bold and green. It must cover the real needs of the country and its people, and clearly profit from a lull in the war machine and its advocates.
Back in Feb. 2016, I published a blog entitled; "Bankruptcy, insanity or hysteria" I was describing a cruel situation that hasn't changed a bit in 5 years, and surely not in the past 75 years, it worsened, while the entire world sit silent, watching while occasionally smiling. the poet/writer Sam Keen reminds us of the cruelty and brutality of wars, more so endless wars; " When your icon of the enemy is complete, you will be able to kill without guilt, slaughter without shame."
Indeed, imperial colonizers don't have any concern for other human beings, surely not for the colonized, so they never think of improving people's lives by a better health system, culture, education and nation building, not even any civilian infrastructures creation, they only look at perpetuating imperialism, occupation and wars. There are special beneficiaries, armament dealers, and special war contractors, politicians and generals, usually from both sides, who will do the impossible to maintain the game. even if and when it turns against their own people. In America, Israel and Russia, the war machines are thriving and striving, while their people are getting neglected and impoverished, turning the war machine into a permanent enriching and feeding tube for the few.
Couple weeks ago, U.S. Green Berets were training special forces troops in Guinea, when trainees apparently slipped away to launch a military coup. operations like these and the situation of post Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and Yemen, as well as other unidentified spots of the world, are not proof of failure of the U.S military machine, nor its manipulators, as many annalists suggested in the after math of the Afghani pullout, they are signs and evidence of the system working exactly as designed, and its evolving cycles through the years.
It is high time we benefit from this short lull, and willingness of our actual administration to not further feed the special war interests and turn to America, as a matter of fact, once every 20 or 30 years of correct rebalancing might prove beneficial.
My usual profound thanks to all, please stay safe and well.
