I tend to complain a lot about the government, but I actually have some constructive ideas about how we can improve America. In my opinion, the balance of power in the US has to be reset to give individuals more wealth and agency, and to temper the agency, power, and wealth of corporations and wealthy individuals. Which doesn’t mean we should adopt socialism, communism, or Marxism, it simply means capitalism needs to be regulated and taxed better. Ever since the 1990s or so, the US has been very, very, pro corporation. And that’s fine, we should not be anti-corporation, but I feel we went too far with our pro-corporation attitude, at the expense of our pro-individual attitude. We need a reset to a place that’s a lot more humanist, that puts the rights, and the health and welfare of individuals on a stronger foundation.
Trump severely underestimated Iran as an enemy. He thought it was a house of cards, where if you pull out one card. the whole thing collapses. But the Iranian government is resilient, it's been planning for an American and/or Israeli attack for decades. It dug in, and it advised its proxy forces, Hamas and Hezbollah, to dig in too. And for every member of the Iranian government and the IRGC, there's a line of succession that goes at least five or six people deep. Iranians are not stupid. Persian culture is one of the oldest and most sophisticated cultures in world history. Any country that can enrich uranium is sophisticated. Yet Trump treats Iran like it's one bad day away from being the next Libya, Somalia, or Haiti.
Criticizing U.S. president Donald Trump for being hypocritical doesn't work. Because hypocrisy is the point. Just as people say that Trump’s cruelty is the point, his hypocrisy is the point too. Trump and his administration are not interested in equality or fair play. They’re trying to create an elite aristocracy of white men to rule America. They’re trying to make a two-tiered system where white men have superior rights, privileges, and protections than everyone else. Therefore, when you point out that they're contradicting themselves and they're not offering the same consideration to people who aren't them, they simply don't care. The hypocrisy is the point. The double standard is the point. The discrimination is the point, despite what it might say in the Declaration of Independence, the US Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. The cruelty and the hypocrisy are the point, because Trump and MAGA are all about power and using power. Powerful, is what they want to be, and they don't care if it's hypocritical or sadistic.
