All of this in the open, with the world watching. Building camps at home and removing rights. Sinking further and further into shame, with all the talk of bravery and freedom in the national anthem and when the time comes there is only total and instant capitulation. The US will never regain its position in the world.
Even the rest of the world’s far right are telling Trump’s entourage not to go full Nazi.
Almost 90% of The World see Trump as bad for The World
There is a very small faction of billionaires siphoning wealth away from the world, truly hoarding it such that it is unused and unproductive. The role of the political class is to facilitate this and distract the general population away from it by setting naturally allied groups against each other. Divide and conquer is as old as humankind and we still fall for it every time.
I think the problem here is not so much Musk but the systems of governance that exist in these countries, and I include USA in that, are too open to non-democratic influence. There will always be people seeking to bend politics globally and domestically to their own advantage, but if they are able to succeed the fault lies in the system not their intent to do it. I think the problem is very similar to that found in the financial systems of the world, the weaknesses that provide backdoor and covert direction have been intentionally built into these systems to allow unfair command. These controls are now being used very overtly by people they were not intended for. Leaders complain about the agents exerting these influences because they can not admit to the methods.
Work to have a destabilising leader elected in an opposing country. Succeed and destabilise that country. Realise a destabilised opposing country is worse for your country.
I think he thinks about China as much as he thinks about last night’s supper, he knows ultimately China will back down, not because it is weak but because it is sane. Putin created Trump to perform a few basic tasks and having gained power in such an unopposed manner he is now up to whatever takes his fancy in the moment and that will be as problematic for Russia as it will for everyone else.
I don’t think any concerns meet that criteria.
You put one toddler-minded crazy feck in command of the most devastatingly over powerful military the world has ever seen and everyone snaps back into a colonial mindset like its 1914.
Welcome to the club.
The wealthy are more reliant on a stable domestic environment than most, should fear chaos for the reasons you suggest.
Their high morality was false, their allegiance was to wealth, their workers were enslaved and their genius was bought.
It is hard for me to believe a president would fly in the face of international law, or just the law, or basic human decency, or sanity - but here is where we find ourselves.
You are very entrenched in blame led thinking, I know very well the cause of this and many other problems but I am far more interested in improving things for the majority than wasting time with accusations.
I am not even vaguely right wing, read some of my other posts. I only added that last part as it made me laugh but I removed it, I did like your ‘now you see the violence inherent in the system’ reply.
You are far more interested in assigning blame than fixing the issue.
I did not say the issue was Labour generated I said they are avoiding re-nationalisation, they could nationalise it tonight, do you think they will?
