US Serially Violates Its Own Constitution

[sparky]

There seems to be a debate between those who believe corporations follow the flag and those who think the flag follows US corporations.

I was basically told to define “American interests” as “nations in which American corporations own substantial property or investments”.

For example, the Gulf War, was fought to protect the property of American oil companies in Qatar, from being seized by Iraq.

But Bill Clinton initially refused to go into Bosnian or meddle in the genocide that was going on there, because there were no “American interests” in Bosnia. As a former Soviet union satellite, Americans own no property in the country. Americans only went in as part of the UN force, and they got out quickly.

But ukraine is all good since grifter joe is running hundreds of billions in. Lol, whatever.

Materialism is the bane of humanity. It degrades what is the most precious about human existence. Toe the extent that any system is wholly materialist, it is wholly detrimental to the highest and best.

Every wise man in every age has said the same.

You mean like the Potatohead Administration weaponizing the Federal government to deprive Americans of their Constitutional Liberties?

"Trump took down ISIS," read a viral post on Facebook. "Biden took down Dr. Seuss and Mr. Potato Head."

PolitiFact - Biden wasn’t involved in Dr. Seuss or Mr. Potato Head changes. They reflect company decisions

Socialism Is an Oligarchic Hostile Takeover of the Capitalist Oligarchy

Both these alternatives from the ruling class's universities exclude the 99%. Instead, let the employees own equal shares and vote on salaries according to who will contribute most to their dividends. Prevent the outside plutocracy from buying shares by ending the stock market.

Since most adults spend a majority of their waking hours in a workplace, a variant of socialism that brings democracy to the work place first would seem like a good place to start deconstructing capitalism?

"Contemporary capitalism no longer 'delivers the goods'—understood as a rising standard of real wages—to the majority of people.

"That classic defense of its instability (recurrent bouts of unemployment, lost output, and wasted resources), its deepening economic, political, and cultural inequalities (as Thomas Piketty documents), and the attendant injustices are no longer plausible.

"In the US since the 1970s, and especially since 2007, those who control the dominant capitalist enterprises and the resulting economic 'development' made decisions that undermined the delivery of rising standards of living to the mass of people."

Some Genos Deserved to Be Cided. And "Slavery" Was Punishment.

Who decides which "Genos" deserve extinction and which slaves were naughty?

 

[gipper]

How can we Americans be proud of this?

Who decides which "Genos" deserve extinction and which slaves were naughty?
