CDZ American Exceptionalism?

[Dekster]

Look up. Lots of international racing going on that will continue without pause until an over-abundance of space junk (already blocking telescope views) in low orbit “interferes ” with the race. Each country needs to recoup all of its junk starting with Russia, then China and all others.

Much like plastic skimmers in the ocean, someone will build a space skimmer.

U.S. Exceptionalism:
1. PC's.
2. Internet.
3. Mobile Phones.
4. DNA Testing and Sequencing.
5. MRI.
6. Microprocessors.
7. Fiber Optics.
8. Non-Invasive Laser and Robotic Surgery.
9. Photovoltaic Solar Energy.
10. Large Scale Wind Turbines.
11. Bio Fuels.
12. Lithium-ion Batteries.
Et cetera, et cetera.
China (as well as other Marxist nations) admit that they steal our innovations and adapt them to fit their needs. Reason: Marxist Socialism stifles innovation.
Throughout or nations history, we have demonstrated great innovations over other nations.
Are we a perfect nation? Of course not. No nation is. All nations have their faults. If you can think of a better one, pack up and go live in it for two to five years (on their dime, not yours), then come back and tell us all about how great that nation is and what makes it great.

Yeah... the problem now is that 1/2 of the nation either thinks that we've done enough or is openly critical of the institutions that delivered all of the above:

Don’t Go To College !

Voc/tech schools were not closed. Go ahead and keep denying that public schools have concentrated on colleges tracks since the 1950s to the detriment of vocational skills if you want to.

This is the mantra from the right. And the left isn't much better. We just punted on guaranteeing college for millions of teens who otherwise may not ever go. That is not the way to compete in the global marketplace.

America hasnt been exceptional for a long time. We have fallen far behind in most areas. And our leaders have gotten so caught up in partisan tribalism that they will refuse to do things they actually think is right just so the other side cant get credit for it.
American Exceptionalism has become the banner of fake patriots who want to use misplaced national pride to distract people from real issues. They want people too busy chanting "USA" to realize what a shitty job their doing. And they attack anyone who actually wants to fix things, because their entire gimmick is based on false national pride, and pretending the US is perfect in every way, and anyone who thinks that something needs changed or fixed wants to destroy America.



Watch the opening scene of Newsroom. He puts it perfectly.

In this sense, the United States is truly unique, it is the only country where real federalism and freedom remained. In fact, the whole world since the time of Reagan has slipped into left semi-totalitarian regimes, not counting China and Afghanistan, where left-wing terrorists are in power.

I argue that in my lifetime, the U.S. has done nothing that could or should inspire pride in anybody.


Millennials reached an age where they became politically aware around the turn of the century. 9/11 was a big kick-starter of that awareness for a lot of us. Since that event we have:


- sent soldiers to die for nothing for 20 years in Middle Eastern wastelands

- created a surveillance state

- made it legal for monopolies to funnel unlimited amounts of money towards installing politicians

- allowed the economy to crash and held nobody to account for it (in fact the ones responsible were bailed out and grew their wealth)

- massively enriched the ruling class

- grown to absolutely despise each other

- succumbed to a pandemic where the poor were labelled as "essential workers" so they could be forced to risk their lives to keep providing wealthy and educated remote workers with McNuggets

- learned that billionaires do not pay taxes

- learned that corporations do not pay taxes

- learned that we're about to have ANOTHER recession


There's a lot more that could be added to that list, of course. Can anybody argue that this country has lived up to its reputation during any of the last 3 decades? For extra credit, would you tell us what it was like to live in a country that accomplished amazing things?

WAHHHHHH!!!!!!!

Are you retarded? There are dozens of Republics. Anyone who thinks the US is the only county that has freedom is an idiot.

These are republics in name only; in fact, there is complete centralization there. The analogue of the American republic is only the European Union
And there are no such freedoms like in the USA anywhere

That idea that only people who live in the U.S. are free is one of the more laughable notions the right has convinced itself of.

Can you give an example of a "republic" where the governor can overrule a federal ordinance, as the governor of Texas did?

You represent the majority of Americans that happily accept America's descent into mediocrity

To me, as a non-US citizen, this is absolutely obvious. US citizens who are shitted in the brain by the left are simply in the dark about their freedoms, it seems to them that peoples are free all over the world, including the Uyghurs in Chinese concentration camps. Brain leftness is a mental illness.

In another post you claimed the Governor of Texas overruled a federal law. That shows you are not informed about the U.S. at all.

 

[rupol2000]

Now the degree of freedom in the United States is decreasing. They, as in ordinary ditatures, are inoculated en masse like rams, this in itself is an indicator of freedom. But this is precisely due to the efforts of the left assholes, thanks to which the Americans run the risk of losing all their achievements altogether.

What is the contradiction? Uyghur concentration camp chief may overturn ruling from Beijing?

That isnt part of our Republic, they found a loophole in the constitution.

Don't make me think you're a left-handed nerd. The republican system with the wide powers of the states is based on the constitution, do you think that it has nothing to do with it?

 

[rupol2000]

Tell me a country other than the United States where there is the right to carry rifle weapons and the local state choose a sheriff?

 

[rupol2000]

US case law also right freedom, for the following reason: it does not allow politics or money to rule judges. In particular, it does not allow the government to exert administrative pressure on judges. This is right-wing freedom.(Although this also works in England)

 

[rupol2000]

American exclusivity is based on the local population, which mostly remained in the Central America, cowboy regions. Left-wing corruption comes from the area of New England, former British colonists who continue to pursue a covert imperial policy of destroying American identity. They are joined by the black states of the south, because it is in their interest to populate America.

 

[rupol2000]

If the leftist coup in the United States is fully implemented, then there will be an imperial distribution of powers. Freedoms will be left to the "metropolis", the Northeastern states, and its allies, and the rest of the states will subordinated and restricted from the center. Traditional American culture will gradually replacing with European(this is alredy happening )

 

[rupol2000]

Until now, the Americans have not broken down under the pressure of Eurocentrism. They retained broad rights to defend themselves, they reject European "humanism" towards villains, not joining a moratorium on the death penalty, they promoted "violence for the sake of rightness" in cinema (the image of superman). A significant blow to American values was dealt in the 60s-70s, when the world was swallowed by the pacifism of hippies garbage, their drugs for idiots like LSD, but Reagan managed to get the United States out of the European shit.
