To be honest
@phinds this goes beyond Hillary and Trump , there is a saying that just as one can tell your character by looking at your friends , one can also tell the fate and character of a nation by looking at their leaders.maybe this doesn't work in dictatorships and monarchies but it sure holds true in old democracies like the US.
As a foreigner I can tell the US image has never been the best around the world and it has much to do with history etc , but nowdays this image is mostly formed not by history but by the actual US policies and their products respectively.
Lately it seems the US has become a nation which is divided at many points starting from some that are of historic origin like slavery and race and ending with many which are products of modern stupidity and the lack of critical thinking or sometimes any common sense for that matter.
Shows like Honey Boo Boo, Trumps Apprentice ,the middle east affairs and budget debt , fast foods that are unhealthy and now a presidential candidate who seems much like a reality show clown in a reality show which could very well be called "The Election" only on FOX , Wednesday nights. His opponent which also has some doubtful practices and has managed to slip from a court case for her wrongdoing while in high office.
To me it seems the US is loosing it's world counterbalance position and it's been a while now that we have been witnessing firsthand something that the first president Bush called as the "New world order" don't get me wrong I'm not talking about the one which keeps conspiracy nuts entertained and makes Alex Jones rich from his Youtube BS channel views , I'm talking about a real ongoing process in which some world powers shift and some loose their position it's a complex process but we must understand that it has always been this way.The water keeps on flowing no matter what you do.
@Dotini , Trump may seem like change much like Hitler may have seemed like a messiah to some , so I have to ask you and any other thinking person for that matter to whom he seems like change ? To my mind he can only look like change for someone who has no real understanding of even basic world affairs and who is also quite ignorant , please forgive me if I offend someone with this but it's simply the truth. Trump has some good points yes but as I said I doubt he speaks them from some deeper understanding of the dangers they pose and more from a ranting perspective since that is what thew public wants to hear.
@DiracPool yes you got my message , I'm not 100% anti trump or pro Hillary , for me personally this changes little but Trump and Hillary are more like titles in this election , they simply are the one person projections of a much larger and normally silent majority of people who think a certain way , the ones who want a more conservative oldschool America and for the ones who think that every race and religion can really work together and be as one and that we all are just humans and freedom and liberty is the dominant force ... sounds like a liberal news add doesn't it ?
The world clearly shows it's not possible , as long as there will be atleast a few people who will disagree and maybe even willing to use force for their disagreement there can be no peace no full liberty and no equality. History has showed us that countries rise and fall , empires rise and fall , movements rise and fall but there is one thing that doesn't change and is rock solid , it's human nature. Modern liberalism is dangerous because much like Communism back in the 20th century , it turns a blind eye on human imperfections and shortcomings in order to bring forward this openness and abstract equality they are talking about.
Atleast Communism used force and strong all seeing order to keep itself together , modern liberalism uses nothing , no force no borders no nothing , you simply take millions of people with a vastly different lifestyle and history and education and religion and blend them together in a given territory , for heaven's sake isn't this the perfect formula for a weapon of mass destruction ??
Europe is the test ground for this and it seems like the experiment is going out of control , because what's the chance that these people will suddenly say, Oh , we apologize , we were wrong , let us now become Christians or Buddhists , deny Muhammad and start working with sweat instead of living off government handouts and immigration aid money.
Many choose to go to the more developed western European countries instead of the Baltic region not because we are worse but simply because they pay more and have a higher life standard. Excuse me but isn't this pure disrespect for all of humanity ? I mean cmoon you just supposedly saved yourself from a bullet in the head yet you want to make commands and choose a Chicken burger over a Cheese one.
Back in the days people fought for their countries and died along the way and we honor that and thanks to those people we now can share the values and lifestyle of western world. These days it seems like a bunch of fools just want to enjoy life with no respect and no consequences whatsoever.
P.S. I am not speaking about all people as clearly there are always people who are different and who want to work and help us as humanity evolve , sadly I'm speaking about the majority who lack all of the things needed to become part of any decent society not just our western one.
Think about it for a second , there must be a reason why the middle east has always been at or in war either with each other or with the world.It's not just pure coincidence , I think it;s the result of their understanding or lack of , and of their religious beliefs that they are were they are.
Anybody can reach some level in life and some can become great but it requires strong will , much like making a suicide attach requires strong will , so it all comes down to the ideas one agrees upon.
