The Nover Thura wrote:The United States is supposed to be the land of freedom, justice and equality. At least, that is what we are all taught. Reality is far different as the USA is plague by racism, homophobia, class inequality and oppression of minorities. A lot of people defend this horror as patriotism. This is not surprising since America was literally founded by a bunch of old aristocrat who were racist slave owners. And America largely reflect this with its dark history and ongoing oppression of the people.
But today, people are starting to see this. People are demanding change but the reactionaries are defend racism as patriotism because of the constitution and the founding fathers. So my question to you is, would it be good idea to abolish the United States and replace it with a new country. A new country with no dark history, no racist founders, and a constitution that guarantee freedom and equality for all.
I think this is good idea. It can be a America for all people where racism is not patriotic, where there is no dark history and the first president is not a slave owner. It could be an example that can lead to a better world for all, I think.
What are your thought?
I think that this consideration of America as "The land of freedom" is exaggerated and an excuse for the US to gain more support/influence.
It is true that the US isn't the best nation at a social level (plus,I think it is a bad place to live in overall),but at this point,why don't we ban Niger? Why don't we ban Uganda ? Why don't we ban Italy etc.?
There are many nations we could ban at this point,as you can see,so I think the Us yes,should try to become a better place (like many others should),but it isn't so bad to deserve to be banned.
P.S. I like this political threads,hope I can see more.
