good thing for our strong moral fiber. i’m certain this is just an american thing; it’s not like capitalism contains the seeds of its own destruction or anything, this is all just because americans are genetically stupid
It’s a narcissism thing. There’s narcissists everywhere, but it seems to be more common in the American population than elsewhere. Maybe because you’re taught from a young age that a small group of revolutionaries invented freedom and you aspire to be like them. Because of this Americans are unlikely to consider any ideas from anywhere else in the world, and if exposed to new ideas from elsewhere will reject them because America is “too special” for outside ideas to work.
Americans place a greater importance on identity than other cultures. So you’re either a capitalist, socialist, libertarian, or whatever. This prevents you from understanding any nuance on issues.
You can definitely have both capitalism and socialism working in the same society, and this has been demonstrated in many countries around the world. But it can’t work in America because that would be compromise and Americans believe compromise is weakness. You’re either a socialist that’s against capitalism or a capitalist that’s against socialism. Anything in between the extremes is something to be hated.
American culture has always been about imposing will onto others while sounding like you’re enlightened. Slave masters writing pretty words about freedom and equality. American socialism isn’t a deviation from this culture. American socialists seek to impose their will onto others in their country, while American fascists are imposing their will on the country. Everyone is writing a lot of pretty words about how they are the ones that are going freedom to the people and make America great.
While competing with each other over who can write the prettiest words about freedom (in an effort to manipulate others), your country becomes more corrupt and moves closer to collapse. Which you all seem to want because you believe a collapse will allow you to impose your will on your countrymen. Because you don’t want freedom or equality, you just want to impose your will onto others. The American way in reality.
You’re just slave masters writing pretty words about freedom. That’s all America has ever been.
Yup, Americans are living under fascism and they’re easily distracted.
