The obfuscation of reality

The guy was not innocently dissing Putin. What he done was cherry picked a tiny part of my post and completely ignored the actual point. This was disingenuous and sly, not to mention cowardly. So if somebody behaves in scummy fashion or like a jerk then they will be called out on it.

The duplicated message was clearly a computer glitch. It happens.

"and your first post is some completely incomprehensible drivel about god and the supernatural ."

Perfectly comprehensible to the many others who wanted to engage in a conversation. And what it wrong with posting about God and supernatural? These subjects have been the corners stones of debate and philosophy since time immemorial. But hey, if you don't like those subjects then you are the boss. We can all just do as YOU command?

"[Sic] or is there anything worth reading coming?"

What topics are off limits to you?

Okay God is out
Supernatural events are out?


I know, how about cat videos? Is that your thing?

Certainly,

The US has a long litany of sin under it's belt. Apparent paragon's of world order, justice and peace they are however rotting on the inside. The US has layers of problems to face in many, many different areas.

They are not the only country with serious issues. Few if any, are above reproach, however one at a time.

We are dealing with systemic corruption, greed, rapacious foreign policy, bribery, profligacy and countless other brands of degeneracy.

Let's take a closer look through the years at just some concerning issues regarding the US:

1) The Banana wars - The butchery, dehumanisation and mass murder of the Haitian people.

2) Prison business - Prisons are businesses and care little to tackle recidivism, rife with corruption.

3) Hundreds of thousands of dead Iraq's - A war sold to the public under a pack of lies about WMD's.

4) City upon city are rife with drug addicts who roam the streets like zombies crazed on heroine, meth and other even nastier deadly substances. Nothing or precious little is done to tackle these glaring situations.

5) The war rape of Okinawan women.

6) War on Terror and the subsequent illegal torture and humiliations thereafter.

7) The Afghanistan debacle.

8) A list as long as your arm of federal political scandals over the years

9) The Philippine American war

10) The massacres of the Native Americans

Obviously this list could go on all day. But I trust ten will suffice.

Be careful, I did not say the US was more corrupt than Russia or China.
All I can say for certain is the the US is more espansionist and violent militarily.

> I can't imagine for one second the world would be better if Russia was the primary global power, or China.

While I tend to see that the same as you ... there are two points about that. One is that I would not trust our US indoctrinated minds. I think you are selling short the unconscious programming we get from our media that always make Russians out to be criminal villains, and the insrutable Chinese is a long, long history when it was the US who treated Chinese as inconsequential non-citizens as we have historically done with all our non-White immigrants and slaves. It was not a crime to kill a "Chinaman" or Mexican or Black in the US.

We are programmed to see our system as the be-all end-all system that is perfect and self-correcting, when it has really been self-corrupting.

The US is the only country has has it so easy. We have a low population and a whole continent of virgin resources with no enemies.

You have to look at the history of both Russia and China to at least admit the possibility that there systems are just as good as ours - obviously not as rich and "free" ( at least in the past ) but they are less unequal and have made more progress than the US for their average citizens.

In fact, when you look at it the Chinese take life a lot more seriously than the US does. Here is a probably very boring and detailed video that talks about the future of mining and its consequences on responding to global warming, and it explains the Chinese strategies for 20 years now, compared to the US market driven BS, and why violence and aggression may be the only option for the US/West.

You see the need for a system that is serious in terms of its growth and survival while taking is responsibilities to its people seriously, i.e. China, to the US who manipulates Americans via the market.

The biggest problem with the US is that it lies to itself and at this point cannot face the truth or the world or put itself on an equal footing with other countries.
