Of course it all sounds lovely, but look at humanities flaws indelibly stamped into our DNA and psyche.A good morning to you.
My first response is no, I'm not a comrade. I'm a clear and fair thinking individual who happens to hold a US passport.
Yes, this off topic area and what we say is remarkably sensible and well kept generally. I'd say it's an example to all other boards whereby free speech re political and religion should be more allowed. Suppression causes angst and ambiguity of intention, ultimately boards will fail because of it.
When I hear USA first that's a violent red rag to a bull to me because that's what got us into the mess we're in. USA first, when it doesn't affect in any way or denigrate any other country, I full support it. As we know, and as history has recorded, it's USA first at anyone's expense and we always leave a trail of destruction in other country's backyards yet we won't tolerate anyone in our country's affairs in the slightest.
A very detailed post by you and I can see your metaphors that get you through what you observe. We do what we need to in order to experience, adapt and move onward which is hopefully forward.
You say you don't have the answers but I'm gonna put my cock on the block and say what I believe to be the answers or solutions and they're very easy if honesty and transparency can actually be delivered and most importantly sustained by our leaders. It will never happen because we're still corrupt to the core today as all news headlines blaringly show us each day.
We need to fully close and secure our borders, we need to pull back all OS manufacturing, we need to stop any and all resident immigration for at least 5 - 7yrs. We need to completely pull out of any country or foreign organisation immediately. We need to completely update our infrastructures across the entire nation. We need to ensure our education systems are actually academic learning and not social re-engineering. We need parents to be responsible and action the continual moral upbringing of their children. We need to rebuild the entire legal system as it's corrupt and not consistent anywhere. Death penalties are carried out immediately and not drawn out for years. One appeal and that's it. These actions will strengthen us 100 fold and by being absent from the world stage we'll be stronger than any other country should they decide to physically challenge us in the future. Charity and self well being begin at home.
You mentioned I may be a comrade, funny thing is some of the above is what Putin and Russia have been quietly doing for the last 20yrs and trust me when I say this, they're far stronger and more capable than anyone and nobody in the west knows or cares to admit it publicly. USA first is a cultist brainwashed chant today given our current health card.
Mankind (or whatever politically correct term you wish....sorry not fishing in that kettle of fish today) has constantly chased control of resources since at least recorded history's beginning.
Humanity has not changed a lot in millenia. Just better tools is all.
