Why was the French revolution so bloody?
Because peacefully they would not have gotten rid of the aristocratic rotten elite tyranning them.
You cannot vote today's plutocracy out of office. Globalised big business also has left democratric checks&balances behind, and must no longer plays by the rules of laws undersotod and designed by the people. The justice system got hijacked. We live in post-democratic times already. Only few have noticed so far. And most of who did, shy away from what that means.
You are paying tribute and respect to principles that played a role in the past. You have fallen out of the present. By what the US were founded on, as a "philosophical fundament" and principles, I agree with that very much and like it. But I cannot bring the modern present, the relaity of the US today, into congruency with tese ideals. The state as is, and how it was meant a long time ago, are lightyears apart.
The fundament of your nation got hijacked by corrupt, small elites. You deny it. To me you are standing attention to a dead monument only.
This hijacking has taken place with practically all nations in the Westm, it seems to me. I do not accept a single nation in the West being called "democratic" anymore.
Read my sig, and take note of the author. Eisenhower was not the first issuing a warning.
