In the american two party system…both parties have changed their policies depending upon the respective coalitions that have formed under the umbrellas, over the years.
The state run media of which im convinced that msnbc cnn are the arms of the dnc just how newsmax and fox news are the arms of the rnc…have put out so much “spin” bullshit and blag using sophism to sway voters.
And being that the same special interests fund both the rnc and dnc. Depending upon who they can get more quid pro quo out of at the moment.
The spin doctors deliberately tug at peoples heart strings and manipulate their better senses as a way to pit the common folk against each other…so that their bosses can maintain influence and serve their ambitions by keeping their supportive constituents happy.
Plus with identity politics of both the left and the right consuming everyday life in the never ending culture war…i have seen bad sociological dissertations on the flaws of the lefts wokeness of which are the equivalent to those manifestos about anti conservatism…
Tldr everyone is being subject to political bullshit artistry from the various factions belonging to either side.
With everyone campaigning nowadays on social media…which is like repwhoring for mc status points, it become a futile exercise. Because most are being manipulated to serve the agenda of the special interests.
Additionally Globalism doesnt work because people are different, and it only works when there exists respect that allows different people to coexist amongst each other. Additionally on the requirement that everyone gets along which doesnt always happen, every society has to have a function other than consumerism, and not every society has good intentions towards each other.
For globalism has effectively gutted america and divyed up the spoils amongst enemies and allies. This interestingly enough has also hurt social mobility for all americans domestically, and has created more problems in regards to inequality. And other foreign countries also took advantage of the post war cold war peace. We were naive. And as a result america lost some geopolitical independence..which has been very detrimental.
Geopolitically the answer isnt globalism, nor is it nationalism/self interest…nor is it world policing…
Its just maintaining a self sustaining independence…that is resilient and can peacefully coexist with other societies.
Domestically its the spoiled brats vs the exploited vs the delusional vs the fuck ups. America isnt an oligarchy, nor is it becoming a facist society…its becoming a kakistocracy…a society of a lazy entitled incompetence. Most americans nowadays pass the buck instead of doing their actual jobs…it bleeds through in every facet of society, in medicine, law enforcement, even in business…people collectively said work sucks and nobody does their due diligence aka fuflill their responsibilities and obligations. And they just decided to collect their paychecks instead of doing what they are paid/supposed to do.
People care more about optics instead of actually doing anything even if its for themselves…
And socially the social issues things…how is everyone a damn victim of everyone else all the damn time…its just not possible…it has turned from bringing awareness and enacting change so that we as a society are more ethical to each other, into a pissing contest over who has the most grievance and is entitled to perpetual crywanking…it is ridiculous.
Rules for radicals documented how to bring a political party to power. The thing that stood out to me was that make the opposition solely responsible for everything even if they are not. Which to me, leads to divisiveness…
And to reverse this everyone has to share responsibility for everything. We all must accept accountability…it sounds care beary yes..but that is the only way to stop the ridiculous continuous blame game.
Disclaimer the orange man is a populist. I am not aligned with the orange mans populism. And i am not aligned with the democrats nor the republicans extremism.
Socio economically im working class…
And the whole gender political war and the racial culture war has been very detrimental being that no one has any solutions, because people would rather have a self indulgent power trip instead of finding common ground and compromising to solve various problems.
