People only whine to their superiors.

Looking only at the USA and attempting understand I wrote this awhile ago.

America how did we get here?

Since the 60's it has been the goal of the 1% to crush the middle class. It had grown post WW2 with the GI Bill educating so many first generation students and elevating them into the middle class.

How do I explain to a 2 year old why so many Christian’s follow the most unChrist like person on the planet?

American Ice Cream

Dear 2 year old. Let’s take a trip to the playground. Go play with the other children.

All the children stay entertained & blissfully play in peace.

The ice cream truck comes with every choice imaginable.

We go to purchase ice cream but realize some of the other kids don’t have money. They don’t even come to the line. Doesn’t that make you sad? They are unable to see they should be allowed the same choices & a fair chance at purchasing ice cream.

Dear 2 year old: I’m going to pay for others to have some ice cream now.

Run away mad if you want. I’ll explain later.

The 2 year old is angry but eventually forgets about the ice cream & plays again.

Later the 2 year old lays down for a nap. I explain that WE can have ice cream whenever we want. Others don’t have that choice. Is that fair? Shouldn’t humans help one another when we can?

He sleeps.

On the other side of town a child sleeps thinking about how good that ice cream tastes & he will do anything to be able to afford ice cream in the future. He grows up & makes money to do so but quickly forgets that others should be given ice cream as well. Isn’t that sad?

In another version of the USA

we all live happily & have the freedom to choose our favorite flavor of ice cream.

We work together sharing our resources & pay others fairly to create the bowls that hold our ice cream. But that’s just an American dream.

Ah, if this is like that why is the west whining for Russia and China? Do you say that Russia and China have superior beings?

do you believe in the big bang? or intelligent design?

i ask because the origin of the idea you present here is that a random country X becomes a shitshow from some sort of random bang in space and time.. as opposed to being a plan designed by intelligent agents seeking a desires outcome.

Ex. reactive abuse is an in-the-moment reaction to mistreatment from another person. When a victim reacts, the abuser uses this reaction to impart further abuse in the form of blame-shifting. The abuser will transform into a victim themselves in an attempt to make the victim view the situation in a different way, and believe a different reality from the one that’s actually being lived. In this way, reactive abuse is often seen as a form of gaslighting, which is the emotional manipulation of a victim.

Whining is what you do to your daddy or your husband, when you think he's being unfair to you.

You whine because you expect him to be fair to you. Because you assume he is inherently self-sacrificial and loving and will hear your pleas and show compassion.

And he does.

And he does again.

And that creates an expectation.

The FIRST WORLD West (because "The West" includes a bunch of third world countries) does intervene all the time by forcing other countries to use its shitcoin.

So the "doesn't intervene" part never happens.

Remember Gaddafi and how Lybia was at the time. Beautiful country, see where it is now.
