I have taken a few days to react to this event. Not only was it a shame after inciting his followers to storm the bastille 4 of his supporters including some police officers lost their lives.
If any regular citizen incited riots they would be rounded up and arrested in no time.
Privlege and afluenza in the USA and other capitalist societies, nevermind only captialist but in all societies is what is at issue here. Consistency in the rule of law must be applied if we as citizens are to trust our legal and political systems.
There are no sides in this battle but one of regaining the legitimacy of our political order/orders.
This can be seen as a problem world wide and people are losing faith in our systems and major ethical and corrupt deficientcies are found throughout the (east/west/north/south), world.
Although most would like to forget the last four years of American politics, it just illustrates how a man with money and power can capture the whole state apparatus and maybe some changes needed in the electoral system. Although, Trump was sucessful in some major areas in US politics, economics and foreign policy. His arrogance and detestability caused massive social devide.
As a result, America is now polarized and divided in a civil war like mentality, its war in a new sense. I hope armed conflict can and will be avoided and that is why I say “never trust a politician,” becuse they do not care about personal circumstances or how many lives will be ruined or lost just so that they can hold power. Yes, their are a few good politicians out there but never trust them because once the calculations are out of your favour you will be stabbed in the back.
To end this post, I would just like to encourage all who hate violence, civil strife and arrogance to think about what a world would be like without violence just think about it and then think how one can make this a reality, your comments would be greatly appreciated.
