Colonial America 1776-2030?
On this day of America’s 246th birthday, let’s clearly recognize what America truly is: the last big colonial power, collapsing!
China’s state capitalism = communism + capitalism
In this post, I will clearly define China’s state capitalism as communism + capitalism. This will help my fellow Americans best understand China, as well as the world.
Violence and America
America is by far the most violent country in human history. This is true both abroad (Jimmy Carter Lectures Trump: US ‘Most Warlike Nation in History of the World’) and at home. It is seen especially in terms of gun violence (List of countries by firearm-related death rate) and incarceration (U.S. has World’s Highest Incarceration Rate). And need I mention slavery in the old days and lynching in the South up to the 1960s?
American “free market” is a lie!
The American version of “free market” is a big, fat lie! It’s time to denounce it as such!
American “human rights” is a lie!
The American version of “Human rights” is a big and fat lie! It’s time to denounce it as such!
It’s the Second Amendment, Stupid?
The 2nd Amendment is obsolete, if not a mistake in the first place (What is the American Revolution, anyway?). However, let’s leave it alone for now, or we may face another civil war (America: Guns vs. Slavery). Instead, reform our failing political system, as I have suggested (History 2.0 – China’s Comeback vs. America’s Decline)!
Critically Assessing Thomas Jefferson
America has been widely regarded as “Jeffersonian” throughout its history so far. But Jeffersonian American is deeply in trouble (Has Jeffersonian America Run Its Course?). Therefore it is time to critically assess Thomas Jefferson!
America: 9/11/2001 vs. 2/24/2022
On 2/24/2022, Russia launched a war against Ukraine. Most Americans reacted fiercely against Russia, without reasoning. This is just like they did in the wake of the 9/11/2001 attacks on America!
It’s time to compare the two events, as well as the two respective American reactions.
America: Guns vs. Slavery
At the end of the American Revolution, America inherited two big issues from Britain:
- Slavery.
- Gun ownership.
The solutions may be the same too: addressing each via a civil war!
Wars and Lies: George W. Bush vs. Joe Biden
Both Presidents George W. Bush and Joe Biden lied outrageously about wars!
1. President Bush II on Iraq – He meant Ukraine
Here is a recent news story: George W. Bush called Iraq War ‘unjustified and brutal.’ He meant Ukraine. Below is an excerpt:
It was the “decision of one man to launch a wholly unjustified and brutal invasion of Iraq,” former president George W. Bush said Wednesday before quickly correcting himself, saying he meant to describe Russian President Vladimir Putin’s war on Ukraine.
“Iraq, too, anyway,” he added under his breath to laughter from the audience during a speech at his presidential center in Dallas.
