ON Brief Moment of Unity in a Disintegrating Empire

ON Brief Moment of Unity in a Disintegrating Empire

By Hugo Adan. Oct 3-17

The sequence: 

Fake nationalism = war mongerism = bringing politics to sports = bringing political missions to religion = eliciting Islamic terrorism.  In short: FAKE NATIONALISM conduces to MORE TERRORISM.

IF WE REALLY WANT A UNITED NATION: 

1^st reduce explosive economic inequalities, that is: design a post-neoliberal agenda.  

2^nd Stop the production of weapons and wars: that foster disrespect to human life and the context for violence like the one we have recently.

Meaning A: we should focus on the transition from unipolar system to a multipolar one on the basis of total disassemble of nuclear weapons, and commons grounds for post-neoliberal frame.

Meaning B: nuke-war should be discarded as option in geo-politics, starting at the level of rhetoric. MAD theory states that in WW3 there won’t be winners, only destruction and barbaric life, if any remains.

That comment was based on this reading:

Pat Buchanan Reflects On "A Brief Moment Of Unity In A Disintegrating World"

...or will this massacre be like the Sandy Hook Elementary School slaughter of 20 children in Newtown, Connecticut, or Charleston massacre of black churchgoers by Dylan Roof - uniting us briefly in “sadness, shock and grief” only to divide us again and, more deeply, in our endless war over guns.

NOTICE:  I already a made a comment on the useless policy of prohibiting fire-arms

Debate: Las Vegas mass shooting  

1- Cutting the sell of fire-arms  is not an option in political nor in legal terms.  That policy failed and produced the opposite effect. 

2- War context & manufacturing WMD is the problem. WMD kills much more people than fire-arms, especially abroad & it infected our soldiers with DU and disables them and the worse: it illicit a climate and context in favor of violence and total disrespect for human life.

3- Either we accept  “Las Vegas mass shooting”  as US normality (because is good business for few big Corp: then we should expect more of the same violence)  OR  we stop such “business”

4- We must change our domestic & foreign politics in favor of pacifism and diplomatic solution of conflicts. That is the only way to cut the evilness of violence. Hugo Adan
