Fascism, autocracy are efficient and effective, because fear is too powerful when imposed on human cattle… Aren't the more civilized societies are less interested in making such profits, e.g, most advanced countries in Europe? But, might not be anymore. The EU and NATO are forced to speed up their "Military-Business-Complexing" enterprises as soon as possible, including Nuclear Arsenals. Doesn't keep the sweet Pudding/Russia (amd the CCP-regime) "meticulously" alive making sense?

So as the CCP-regime's working on Taiwan.... There are approx. 15 to 20% of the early immigrants from China and their offspring relating to the CCP-regime, embracing a powerful Authoritarian-Totalitarian ideologies, severely infiltrated by its propaganda, money, fame and females' ...

March 4 (W,), 2025 The minority rule

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mach 4, 2025.
Is this a typical minority rule, tyrannically?
Approx. 31.5% decided, at least 4 years' "lifestyle,"
and 36.7%, the relative MAJORIITY (A Non-voting Party?) watched it happen.
So, actually, who determines the "fate" of every 4 years?

The 2 dominant parties' systemic gaming, ended with this...

We are reaching the precarious tipping point
- to prevent democracy from dying.....

"...Most modern democracies—from Germany and Sweden to Argentina and New Zealand—have eliminated outdated institutions like elite upper chambers, indirect elections, and lifetime tenure for judges. The United States lags dangerously behind..." - Tyranny of the Minority

Though, not in the near future, the bipartisan Constitutional reform is the top National Emergent task to declare!

On Feb. 28, a "presidential debate/negotiation aided by a group of lovely drum beaters" with a President from a different country, "everybody" used English. Surely, the translator should have been there (being laid off? Anyway a penny saved is a pound earned...,) But since English is so popular... just make it less complicated? In fact, using a non-mother tongue, or a third, fourth language to debate, negotiate (or teach) - is NO FUN! I have the very first hand experience!

Mar. 3 (M,) 2025 Daily Trivia on facebook

3 reasons why town hall meetings are important
1. Increase engagement to voice the concerned issues.
2. Reinforce the sense of community. Having all in one room (physical or virtual) can bring a sense of community and cohesion
3. Obtain feedback. It is a great way to get feedback from people and answer any concerns in real-time.

Krystal Huang
Those holding the "ethical relativism" to express the "moral" high ground to sympathize the current administration's "heroic" behaviors, I don't fully respect. Aren't there differences between: at least do-no -harms vs. do-the-most-harms to the masses and non-human sentient beings?
Pursuing efficiency and effectiveness is desirable, but rushing through something tends to lead to mistakes, poor quality work, and wasted time or resources, not to mention using the "absolute" power to persecute or venge on the dissdents to clear things in the way for the coming midterm election and making a king long live...

In such a polarized immigrant country, the "income, education gaps" are too big to make the basic sensible commucation possible. But I still respect friends who do the heavy homework, tirelessly sharing facts and ethical concerns. This is a civil society (originally) that never gives up the voices and actions for the powerless, the helpless, and the voiceless animal friends.

Krystal Huang
A couple of "friends suggest" that watching more fox news, beck's blake, heritage foundation and cato...etc. will make one well-informed ! Interestingly speaking, some of them are cat-lovers that was during the early stage of facebook, adding one another as loosely connected "friends," before the "stances" revealed... ! Anyway, reading, listening to differnt points of views tends to make a person like me - less dimt\witted...

Something is too big to be fixed?
1. Media were bought/vontrolled by a handful billionaires with agenda.
2. Education is a tool to widen social class gaps, or keep status quo.
3. Religion (not all) numbs the brain like fentanyl.
4. Disadvanteged familes are forced into chasing check by check.
5. Politicians (some) are invertebrates.
6. The 2 dominant Party-system breeds various political problems,
and more... (please add and possible solutions. Thanks.)
All in all, nice people are transformed into over-consumption machines to nurish supercapitalists into demigods - just asking, "why so many countries are feistily eager to sell stuff to the US.? why let tariffs become a high profiled multiedged sword...?"
Note. As of February 28, 2025, the United States' foreign debt was $8.5 trillion, with Japan and China holding the largest portions. This represents 22.9% of the total US debt.

Jo N H
Here’s my solution. VOTE!
Perhaps we need to teach our children from a young age how important it is to vote.
Let’s start raising political awareness.
I vote in every election because my parents believed in it. I therefore, believe in the system. Although lately, I’m not so sure.
But the constitution is written “by the people for the people.” Our indifference to this is what gets us to the point that we are at.
It’s like the Wizard of Oz. We’ve had the power all along. We just don’t believe it.

Meanwhile, a handful super rich own 2,7 trillion income and wealth, the most important beneficiaries of the big tax cut as their effective "petition" was sweetily answered by their king.
This could be a reason why a fascistic plutocracy is so much loved....

Krystal Huang
Dear Jo, well expressed. Waaaake up! Educate, organize, and then - ACT!
The US. has enjoyed quite a long time of a nice lifestyle. But, might not be so, at least in the near future. I think.

When I was a kid in Taipei Taiwan, the TVs and movies showed us that the US. households were equipped with tennis court, swimming pools; things were so fency and beautiful, and the black and brown were not good people...etc... (By the way, before the economy taking off in Taiwan, the district of thousands of households, only a couple of families owned the black and white TV. I used to be outside their windows to enjoy those famous programs, such as Bewitched, Flipper, Lassie, MBA games, Nature...etc. During the taking off in mid-60s, Taiwan acted like a "semi-satellite state" amid the 2nd wave of globalization along with HK, Sigapore and S. Korea within the US capitalistic range. ) Not until I started teaching sociology and social problems here, did I know more in details - fancinating, isn't it?

My sister 麗月, leading her crew, served in the war zone (the outlying islands - 金. 馬) before (she retired as a Major military nurse, now.) I served 8 years long time ago, though not in the actual combative duty - as a military instructor (not educating)... That was nothing to do with patriotism or nationalism, but a life and death condition.) He has no clue... But I can understand the delicate psyche of a draft dodger facing a war zone leader... That could be a reason the hillbily being there beating the drum to reduce some cognitive dissonance, if one had it?

Krystal Huang
Though many friends know the background story relating to what happened today. I abridged some info for reference. More details, available online:
Why is the used-to-be the 3rd largest nuclear arsenal in the world, Ukraine becoming vulnerable to Russia's invasion now and future (including to EU)? Why can NATO play a significant role - and the US, as an important member of NATO?

Recalling U.S. Ambassador Llewellyn E. Thompson, signed nuclear non-proliferation treaty as Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei A. Gromyko watched in Moscow, Russia, on July 1, 1968.

During the time of Ukraine’s independence from the Soviet Union in 1991, Ukraine held the third largest nuclear arsenal in the world, including an estimated 1,900 strategic warheads, 176 intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), and 44 strategic bombers.

By 1996, Ukraine had returned all of its nuclear warheads to Russia in exchange for economic aid and security assurances, and in December 1994, Ukraine became a non-nuclear weapon state-party to the 1968 nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT).

The last strategic nuclear delivery vehicle in Ukraine was eliminated in 2001 under the 1991 Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START). It took years of political maneuvering and diplomatic work, starting with the Lisbon Protocol in 1992, to remove the weapons and nuclear infrastructure from Ukraine.

Krystal Huang
That is one of main reasons that I insist Taiwan on developing the mutual deterring Nuclear weapons, and she has the full capacity to do so. *Sigh... why a gentle and kind person like me. utters such barbaric words.....

兵不厭詐/deception is always justified in a war; feinting is the soul of fighting a battle - Sunzi; Clausewitz.
Anyway, on the table and behind the screen, ususally have different senarios. Whether it was a well organized skit or not, depending on how the sweet Pudding and Xhush's interpretations. Taxpayers, pay the fee, seat belt, and watch leisurely...
