A tad much to explain
They’re pushing for a 1 party system here, alright — but it’s the dems and it ain’t for the best interest that’s for sure. There won’t be any voice of the ppl if they get their ultimate way, that’s for sure. I think we’re witnessing the beginning of the end of the U.S. in some sense. I see a splitting up soon.
Will be interesting to see, for sure! Ray Dalio wrote a book on the great cycles of history recently and his conclusions point to a similar outcome: polarization within society and ultimately infighting, which will lead to the decline & collapse of entire countries.
Countries… Using mountains and rivers to divide people when mountains and rivers connect people culturally. These lines make little sense in so many places around the world. On top of it, most of these tribes are simply too big to manage effectively. Centralization becomes a necessity due to size, centralization makes corruption easier.
One of the reasons I believe Switzerland has become crypto friendly so quickly is that they have been dealing with decentralized power for hundreds of years. Does not make them immune to corruption, but somehow the process feels more inclusive of all voices.
Absolutely! And a political decision in CH always has to be acceptable to the minority as well, i.e., it mustn‘t infringe on them in any disproportionate way. In this, I think CH deviates from many democracies & ensures more inclusive outcomes.
I’ve always admired Switzerland. I wonder if it’s a highly homogeneous society or not. I think that factors into a lot of successful democracies. Hungary is similar, I think. I believe they’re doing some restructuring and striving towards homogeneity, while making all efforts to not be discriminatory.
Most cities have quite a diverse mix of nationalities/ethnies/etc. while the rural areas are often very homogenous (bordering on xenophobic). Regularly shows in the polls and can be quite a challenge for lawmakers. CH has always be a melting pot and I think this has created a special mix within society & a particular democratic system. However, the melting occurs mainly in the cities, thus exacerbating the divide… The particularities of the political systems show e.g. in the multitude of political parties and the diversity of views presented/discussed.
A 1 party system? I already saw that somewhere else…
Gonna be blunt. To me, they’re all psycho/narcissistic parasites. It’s just that the dems are covert about it, the rep a whole lot less so. Both sides disgust me to an extent.
The rest of the world wonders… should we continue to get fucked by the US, with lube. Or should we tried the lubrication free BRICS way.
USD is public enemy number 1
Smart and realistic Americans (I’d like to say I am one) know this about the USD. While I’d like to have my nation be strong & influential, I don’t want it bullying and subjugating others. That never lasts long. We know how bullies end up. And the dems are despicable to me, and are irredeemable. Republicans, we can clean ourselves up, which we’ve been doing (the true ones) but the long stain of the crony capitalists that reared up from Reagan policies (not saying his fault, but those changes he made were taken advantage of and we have what we saw in the Republican Party from the 80s-early 00s. There’s a resurgence of true patriotic, anti-war, anti-imperialism Republicans now. The dems are just going pure fascist/communist (I know I know, 2 different things, but they’re doing it)
