The United
States (US) has dominated the world since World War II. She has tried to
present herself as the beacon of democracy and the defender of human rights
around the world. That has been her narrative, but what has been her deeds.
The US
government (USG) has made what the other non-exceptional nations regard as
human rights, such as housing, education, health care and employment, into commodities
to allow its capitalists (1% of US citizens) to make profit from them. That
obviously is not beneficial to the 99% of its citizens, therefore, how could
that be an example of democracy?
In the meantime,
the USG has 800 military bases around the world. The USG is the number 1 nation
that has had the most wars in the world. So much so, that the world regards the
USG as the biggest threat to peace.
The USG says
that its wars are to spread democracy and defend human rights. That is similar
to Spain’s pretext for building her empire by saying that she was spreading
Christianity. But in reality, US wars are to make the US 1% even wealthier.
That was US Major General Smedley Butler’s warning the world in his book “War
is a Racket”. Do you know that 9 of the 10 richest men in the world are US
citizens?
The most
recent example that the US is not a democracy is the coronavirus. 40% of US
citizens who died of covid-19 should never have died. That is how the US became
the epicenter. How could the US be a nation of, by, and for the people?
Is it
possible for at least a third of the 330 million US citizens to realize that
our nation is not an example of exceptionalism towards 100% of her citizens? Is
it possible that we might organize to save ourselves from plutocracy? https://todosunidosdescolonizarpr.blogspot.com/
US
plutocracy is exceptional.
