You seem to be under the assumptions that the rules based international order is a real thing that is being thwarted by Mafia regimes and right wing ideology. First, America is a Mafia regime, under Democrats or Republicans. Many of the biggest Biden donors in 2020 have switched to donating to Trump, not because of ideology, but because they think Trump will be better vessel for their interests. And second, the rules based international order never existed in reality and never will exist because large force welding states will always have disagreements that will sometimes result in violent conflict. | ||

The USA is indeed sliding backwards. State and business interests are getting even more intertwined. There is blindness about that, sure. That might make you feel depressed. Don't turn into a nihilist, as that is nothing more than giving your neck to the butcher. I also assume you don´t want to know what a non rule based international order will look like. Things are depressing, but can get worse than where we are now. Society needs to get their act together, but also desperately needs a healthy debate. Corporate media effectively block that, they rather sell the Politeia as entertainment. Still, the onus is on the people. |
