Western Europe

On the entire role of political position and spectrum (right, center, left), I must admit that for me both the US and the USSR look like the exact same, as also do Catholics and Muslims, just in a different side of the spectrum; as in left equals right, no matter if they look like opposites, in practice they preach the same doctrine – of being in extreme opposites, and extreme opposites equal each other in its own practices.

Simple basic mathematics, a smaller group is included in a bigger group, and a piece is included in a whole. The “popular” group, which is majority in number, thus should in theory be bigger, does not ever seem to be included in this “politics” (religion is politics, and the primary forms of politics were created and ruled by religious orders) group, other than being bought by cheap casino-like advertisement.

Center is not neutrality. Center is still inside the spectrum. For neutrality, I mean getting out of the spectrum, when applied to politics as a people-oriented system, as in people-oriented and out of every other affiliation; US, USSR, Catholic, Muslim or whatever that might be, are all affiliations, and they live outside what they preach, yet inside the spectrum.

In modern times, Sweden was a good example of a country in a neutral political position; most recently, the young voted right as they never experienced crisis, that will go just downwards over there, Switzerland and Austria are doing fine tho holding the neutral flag. The Pirate Party is growing in Sweden tho, that might unbalance the right over there and maybe get an impulse to bring the country back to neutrality.

The new Icelandic Modern Media Initiative (IMMI, http://immi.is/) to protect freedom of speech for one was spot on, real well done.

I never lived in the US, but I have lived in many distant, far away countries like Ireland and Brazil – they all tried to copy the system and fell flat in their ass, real hard, plus people turned horrible, everybody stabbing each other in the back for a few cents – please correct me if I am wrong – best thing that could happen to the country is for it to get completely bankrupt, for it to learn that economic prosperity is not everything, and that does not lasts forever, everything that goes up come back down again, and the higher, the harder the fall ?

The US sounds like Europe a good few years back – that thinking is not just a privilege of the US tho, parts of the EU are walking towards the same, basically walking towards a hole, they fail to realize that by making the people in the place happy, the place grows and prosper, not the other way around. Was watching a movie yesterday about two German best friends from childhood that go to America try their luck and get so stuck in the bank-corporative competition that they end almost killing each other and things end not too good, you can see all countries around trying the same are going through to that exact same hole, including Poland in Eastern Europe – it is proven that the corporatocrat system does not works, they will need to wreck everything and everybody tho before they finally realize it.

Also to notice, Greece is inwar at the moment, against its own people, and this is the place where the concept of right-oriented democracy originally came from.

This system turns people into rats, religion is pretty much the same, specially when it takes the position of ruling people and the country, Europe went to its darkests paths due to religious ruling, always done more bad than good. Yeah that you described is the result of a money-mad society, they simply screw each other, and it goes from corporative monsters up to normal people screwing each other, violence for goods, and so the hole goes on, like, its not something hard to realize at all, but the people that play the game with big money will have to get terminally bankrupt before letting it go, thats why I said best thing that can happen to countries that fully adopt such a system is to get terminally bankrupt – it will hurt normal people for a while, but it will raise light to a more social approach via hatred to such corporations in the future, same hatred people got against the USSR after all was over in Eastern Europe, probably for the good, as in never happening again – still there will always be people advocating it, but hopefully a minority, like the back-to-the-past-religion-rule advocates.

What they call as the American Dream is simply, you are temporarily poor but if you work hard enough you will become a millionaire or a super star, lottery and all that illusional bs follow suit, and if you do not make it you are worth less than a person, you are a looser, and then come heavy cheap-all-chemical drugs abuse to live in a parallel world, violence, and all the nasty stuff associated with the prospect of becoming a “looser”, and the people from rich families laughing at their own people down in the bottom – it isnt funny at all no, it is just simply plain wrong, it is a rats system, and to make matters worse it infects, insists in infesting, and keep infesting everything around itself.

I feel for the people that can see it in the US, it must beharder for them, but many countries do the exact same, many of which I left never to look back.

Not to mention modern “culture” – as in the American Idol type of programs that sow nothing but people as completely sold out to corporations – as it also kills culture completely in the name of profit, like rather develop music, they make the stupidiest of the “lalala” repetitive noise, as it is easy to gulp, will stick around and have a decent sales figure as result.

This is not culture, this is commerce. And commerce is currency moving from one pocket to another – have it no value, such unfair marketing, psychologic techniques apply.

Also technology – basics of the time-to-market “strategy”, entire thing was sold and marketed before it is any good or even stable, marketed as the best thing ever, and something you can not live without. Recent IT security incidents proven it to be the exact opposite, with more, many more yet to come.

Corporatocracy – profit above it all, screw whoever that might be in its path, including its own people and blood.

Again, for neutrality, I mean getting out of the spectrum, when applied to politics as a people-oriented system, as in people-oriented and out of every other affiliation; US, USSR, Catholic, Muslim or whatever that might be, are all affiliations, and they live outside what they preach, yet inside the spectrum.

Corporatocracy, in social theories that focus on conflicts and opposing interests within society, denotes a system of government that serves the interest of, and may be run by, corporations and involves ties between government and business. Where corporations, conglomerates, and/or government entities with private components, control the direction and governance of a country, including carrying out economic planning notwithstanding the ‘free market’ label.

The ruling party Fianna Fail took a historical defeat as expected, the worse in its history, with its only voting (including the ones that elected Brian Cowen‘s brother), I believe came from unsealed ballot boxes, Enda Kenny‘s Fine Gael is in charge with Labour, while both Labour and Sinn Féin doubled its presence and Gerry Adams took a seat as TD in Louth.

According to Wikipedia,

Fine Gael is generally seen as more to the political right than its major rival Fianna Fáil but has never been in power without the centre-left Labour Party. Fine Gael is variously described as a centre-right or centrist party, though it describes itself as a “party of the progressive centre”. The party lists its core values as equality of opportunity, fiscal rectitude, free enterprise and reward, individual rights and responsibilities. It is strongly pro-EU and opposed to violent Irish republicanism.

While according to some people in Ireland right now,

Enda will be hitting the beer in Castlebar tonight no doubt, brown envelopes to be left in behind the bar in Coady’s, Linenhall St.

Most of the countries local electorate shifted towards the political left, with a notorious Dublin North West having no Fianna Fail nor Fine Gael representatives, and most of Dublin having no Fianna Fail representatives at all.

In all terms, Ireland needs a strong opposition to keep the ruling party in its toes, as all other politically relevant countries do.
