What a big news story – Tucker Carlson was fired by Fox News (Fox News ousts Tucker Carlson, its most popular host)!
What was the real reason behind his firing?
The cover image highlights my speculation. Hear me out …
In 2011, Amy Chua published a book entitled “Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother“. As a tiger dad, I felt obligated to speak out and I did, with an article entitled The Battle Hymn of The Tiger Dad. Below is the conclusion:
There are many ways to do the same thing. In parenting, between the Chinese way and the American way, I chose the latter and am very happy about it!
Now, twelve years later, I have more complete results to report:
America’s MIC (Military-Industrial Complex) is the #1 existential threat not only to America, but also to the world. So, it is time to dismantle it, now!
“We the People,” so begins the U.S. Constitution – It was a powerful slogan for a new nation founded with neither a king nor a pope.
Unfortunately, it was a lie – It was a lie in 1789, and it remains a lie today!
“All men are created equal” – What a slogan in the “Declaration of Independence”!
It was powerful and useful for America to defy the British King at the time. But its true validity has been in question ever since, with profound implications to date, not only for America, but also for the world.
So, it is time to thoroughly clarify it: it is false – then, now, and forever.
In other words, not all men are created equal!
In the 1990s, Western [liberal] democracy was hailed as possibly the permanent winner of human evolution (The End of History?).
What a joke (“The end of history,” really?)!
In a previous post (America is a lie!), I called out America as a lie. In this post, I argue that America is the most brainwashed, as well as brainwashing, country in the history of the world!
In this post, I will highlight two great American public intellects: John Mearsheimer and Jeffrey Sachs, focusing on their insights into the war in Ukraine and American exceptionalism.
Peace and freedom are two important things to mankind. But what is the essential relationship between them?
I argue that the most important thing for an individual is freedom, but peace is the most important thing for a community. For example, we sacrifice some forms of personal freedom (e.g., drinking & driving) for the betterment of the community (e.g., public safety).
Furthermore, I argue that America has oversold and overbought freedom but undervalued peace, both at home and abroad! This is one of the main reasons America not only is a failing state (Is America no longer governable?) but also may destroy us all as a species by inciting World War III (Will America lie all the way into WW III?)!
I used to believe “America is an ideal.” But now I believe “America a lie.”
When an ideal is too remote, it becomes a lie (e.g., communism). But America is far worse than that: America is a lie, foundationally! Two main reasons:
