American can take three steps
toward exceptionalism if it has sense. It can be a leader by example to other
nations of right national policy. Here are three things that need be done to
change the nation for the better.
1) Secure the borders against illegal immigration and
limit lawful immigration to 300,000 annually with half being the poor drawn by
lottery. Everyone in the nation need be on a legal sheet of music and a level
field.
2) Develop economic class consciousness and eliminate
poverty entirely and have some solid safety net against being broke. Most
wealth and income in the United States is held by a tiny minority of the
people. Originally Americans revolted against European royalty, global powers
and aristocratic superiors generally. Today Americans venerate the rich and
many welcome globalism. Those global powers will reassert control over the
U.S.A. and over time make it disappear along various fault lines convenient for
planetary plutocrats. Restoration of solidly progressive taxation, free public
education through graduate school, cap on patent exclusivity to 5 years with
10% royalties to patent holder subsequently etc would help defrappe that.
Presently the nation has splintered to form eight or ten social classes based
on individual characteristics like race, gender, perversion and so forth that
are entirely stupid and benefit the rich primarily. Race rights are encouraged
to eclipse equal rights, and that is bad.
3) Restore the environment. Ecosphere decay and mass
species extinction occur with too many people with too many machines driving
about like environmentally non-reasoning
apes killing things. The environment should be integrated into the economy in a
positive way for people and ecosphere. This is why I am for radically slowing
population growth on Earth and in the United States in particular.
Yes it is possible to change
toward being an exceptionally good example although improbable; the broadcast
media and film is largely owned by wealthy networks that socially program the
people to follow the real interests of the richest. I am for free enterprise
rather than socialism. Democracy or a Republic hybrid can provide all of the
benefits of socialism better with good leadership. Socialism and too little
individualism degrades the quality of life and of the mind and runs the risk of
elevating uncreative and ecospherically harmful people and classes to
leadership positions with leadership going the wrong way that can be hard to
replace.
President Trump lost the
election yet had some support from white people because he expressed concern
for their class interest that has been thought to have suffered from non-white
political advances and the left coalition with non-males, homosexuals and
anti-Christians and atheists. White culture and politics and wars such as the
civil and second world war wherein fascism was defeated allowed minorities in
to dully participate in U.S. life and politics. It is unreasonable to expect
them to be happy about having their interests attacked. The civil effort of
civil rights is equal protection of the law rather than ascendance of one
special class over others, or of the blue over reds. I must say I don’t like
the terms because it reminds me of the corrupting and shallow political classes
of the Byzantine Empire that initially formed around garment colors of chariot
racing fans.
What is fascism then? Fascist
attitudes do exist in the red voters for Trump although it is a minority that
are so disposed to hate Winston Churchill, venerate Robert E. Lee and regard
General Hood as a kind of one-armed saint of war. Fascism is simply ruthless
social behavior by an individual, collective, network or anyone to advance
political interests. That is, fascism is a basic social behavior rather than a
hard political form. Originally in Republican Rome it was a logical enough
thing. When Rome was threatened by war they brought out the facies or sticks
that were taken to the lead of a war parade to symbolize the time for fighting.
Rome appointed a dictator for a year during times of war and he was given the
facies that later became eponymous for the retrograde leadership of Mussolini
and Hitler. Hitler incidentally was a shill for the aristocrats that were
deposed during a civil rebellion at the end of the First World War. One should
not forget the perennial advice to follow the money- there are always people
that want money and power exclusively and will do anything to get it.
