I’d have to say that in the most absolute
terms collectivism wins the argument against individualism though. The
individualistic hubris is negated every day by the elder, the children, the
handicap, the sick, population growth. and the less fortunate, while reaffirmed
by a system that increasingly depends on personal initiative and sells “discordia”
as progress. A person driving down the expressway seeing all the new
constructions and beautiful developments would have no reason but to think - This
is progress - While somebody else might see the pillaging of the environment.
If they try to stop it however, they become repressive (in the measure they
can’t produce the results). That is our sad reality, in fact most people will
see it as progress, and this transcends to all aspects of our lives speculation
and individualism are the manifest answers. First it proves that we need solid
institutions and government, that people have a limited understanding and
cannot produce the performance by themselves. That we have walked ourselves
into these untenable situations because of the economic dogmas and apocalyptic
policies where collectivism becomes an assault on tradition, logically. Sometimes
we get closer than others but almost always end up back on the fork in the road
and the internal conflict.
The
inadvertent utopian would be right in principle about health care for all and
free college tuition for instance, but would probably end up being more
destructive to society in their rush to judgment. It would probably end up
bankrupting the economy if we don’t consider the impact due to the levels of
enrichment and the high demand for money. Logistically it might not even be possible
throughout such vast distances, not to mention the policies that constantly
attempt against the kind of commitment that is necessary. We could argue that
it is within our reach but would probably end up taxing people on one side of
the continent to pay for programs on the other side, completely disassociated from
actual socioeconomic relationships which can become counterproductive.
Going back to the question of what
territorial integrity means in the digital era. Isn’t it precisely the
apocalyptic connections now taken to a digital level that poses the problem, or
should I say spiritual level? One of the biggest dangers of our times is
the delusional left with their speculative rights and political correctness;
the wrong way to address economic problems and restore the culture of work and
sacrifice. I think they just added too many elements of discordance when they
started promoting ethnic conflicts and religious resentment as diversity and
inclusion, when equality became racialized and about same sex marriage, and
they promoted fatherless and motherless children, and late term abortion. When
they started supporting illegal immigration and doing gay parades in children’s
parks, and people started getting fired for speaking their minds in their own
private time. When we were all accused of being bigots and they started selling
marijuana opening a new portal to the decadence, when they really should’ve
been talking about the financial scourge and corporate exploitation, big
business and political corruption, Wall Street and the Heartless Vegas Tycoon,
the glorified thieves, the Rockefellers and the J.P Morgans, the wise guy
betting on somebody else’s life from outside the ring, the gangster, the
made-man, the scheming scum lurking in the City Hall or the Court House to pick
up the spoils of somebody else’s misery, the house they lost to foreclosure.
The truth is that by now both sides have to be repressive to some degree,
that’s the predicament of enrichment, but how do we know where the balance is
today? Who’s integrating the environment better, here and now, the crypto
communist promoting the immaculate global emancipation or the one placing
tariffs on imports and talking about national integrity?
That is why I’m not in a hurry to change my
cultural heritage, because it should not be anybody’s minimum wage caught in
the grinder of the critical weight and the rush to judgement, especially when
we are doing some many things to add to tension and undermine ourselves. I am
all from maximizing the potential for a greater integration and there are
things we can do, like speaking a common language, sharing in the same legacy,
educating children, elevating the culture, and promoting moral values. In that
context we might be able to recognize a legitimate demand, but the apocalyptic
rights in the context of the liberal economic policies is a weapon of mass
destruction, the pined-up frustration of oppressed people that now measure
their success in a global scale and want to ride the singularity taking
everybody down with them, the sins of the past.
When Cuban complained about financing at
the Organization of American States and the silence it was receiving from the
United States in 1964, they were facing the phenomenon of double morality and
the internal conflict as well. Cuba which supported national independence and
opposed corporate internationalism ended up grinded between a moral axis and
the absence of economic viability, the inability to integrate the environment.
The fact that the moral axis between socialism and democracy was disputed at
the time is almost irrelevant to this point (and the hidden agenda), in any
case it just added to the tensions. It’s a double trap door, there is
irrefutable evidence that most other countries in Latin America burned under
the glare of the absentee landlord and the economic evil as well.
After the fall of communism in
1989 the left shifted to a new form of collective
supranationalism, causing the rollover and establishing the new left-right
paradigm between globalist and conservatives, international financiers and
industrialist nationalists. Something similar is happening to the United States
today, getting caught in the grinded between the Moral Organizations we owe
devotion to and economic pressures brought about by the displacing axis of
globalization, convulsing in its own internal conflict and a decadence that now
floods from the bottom up.
The internal conflicts generated by the liberal paradox are too many; asylum or no asylum, rights or no rights, tyranny or democracy, independence of dependency, currency, trade, tariffs, affirmative action, white privilege, and a million others (nationalism has obviously been stigmatized). The people most resentful and less concern with real cultural diversity are the ones that have it their way, they’ll soon forget about statistics and demographic and even their own desire for integration when they take your place, defining progress in the conquest caught up in the apocalyptic demand of the white man they are supposed to hate.
It would seem unfair but if Latin American
countries cannot govern themselves and stop the mass migrations, we must also
assume that they have entered into a complete state of anarchy and cannot enter
into any trade agreements either. The next time Mexico wants to talk trade or
aid we would have to send them back to the United Nations. We are too old to
fall prey to the double morality and the right/left grinder. Today is about
those poor people crossing the border nobody can do anything about and tomorrow
is about cultural pride and fanatic regionalism.
If you
are waving flags and coming as Latinos what do you expect from others. If you
are presenting yourself as African American exclusively, what do you want,
dispossess others of their identity by appealing to a common humanity at the
same time? If you want to talk about cultural diversity I applaud it, but if
you want to run over the town, I deplore it. I’m sad to say that Spanish
Television and radio stations during the recent elections covered Latino
candidates and Latino vote almost exclusively as if we lived in an alternate
reality, but they won’t use the same language went it comes to the caravans of
immigrants and things that require a general understanding, which is very
subversive.
