"Civilization" is one thing, and "Peace & Prosperity" is another...DeezerShoove » 20 Mar 2026, 7:00 pm » wrote: ↑ The place can be known as the Cradle of Civilization. No irony really.
Civilization is generally quite persnickety. Usually battling each other.
...from the beginning more or less.
Discuss.
MOST human civilizations thru-out history have only seen "relative" peace, as a result of the conquest of rivals... POWER ALONE was the only variable alternative that had relevance, and THAT was usually thru the imperial rule of Kings, Emperors, Shahs, and the like... ALL who held individual power, and who were prone to ABUSE it... which often led to it's downfall ! There was NEVER another viable alternative... until RECENTLY... when Democracy came on the scene... and Democracy has been a NEW rival to "one man rule"... except that periodically those who were elected believe THEY can do better, and look to disenfranchise the voters, and dissolve the Democracy. THAT is what Democrats are trying to so to America today !
We will see what happens... but ALL attempts of the RULING class, to consolidate and centralize POWER... UNLESS it's by the SPECIFIC CONSENT of the governed... I believe will turn INTO another King, Emperor, or Shah (etc) FIASCO... and THAT is why ABSOLUTE FREE, FAIR, and FOREVER DEMOCRATIC elections are an ABSOLUTELY necessary (in a Democracy) because they often IMPLODE after a period of time... and degenerate into some sort of "One Person Rule"... which ALWAYS ends badly !
COULD some form of Artificial Intelligence that is developing today (AI) be the answer? Maybe, eventually... BUT, it would need to be SUPPORTED by Free & FAIR, FOREVER elections (i.e. or support of the people)... and ALSO have checks & balances ! BOTTOM LINE... SOME people will ALWAYS be POWER HUNGRY... AND, they are never as smart as they THINK they are... SO, whenever fewer and fewer people have the POWER... a Democracy gets closer and closer to IMPLODING !
I think America is dealing with ONE of those times NOW... AND NOT because of Donald Trump... because Donald Trump and Republicans have been the the odd men out for MOST of the last 45 years... before Donald Trump, the LAST true Conservative Republican was Ronald Reagan... ALL the other "Republicans"... with the exception of Donald Trump were RINO's... Democrat LITE (Republicans in NAME Only)... AND our Government has ALREADY been infiltrated & SUBVERTED as a result... Politicians running an ENTRENCHED Bureaucracy, which politicians want to CONTROL the elections, so THEY and not the "People" can REALLY dictates who runs things... and ANYONE who's NOT part of the "Club"... is DESTROYED !!
THANK GOD for Donald Trump... BUT, one term will NOT be enough to CLEANSE the CORRUPTION... Democrats will NEED to be kicked to the curb for an EXTENDED time... It's the ONLY way !!
AMERICA, and AMERICANS, NEED to WAKE up… There is NOTHING “Democratic” about the CURRENT American “Democrat Party”! THEY are more an amalgamation of Totalitarian Marxists, Socialists, Communists, and Globalists… who are BENT on TAKING, and then KEEPING power... & where ultimately the American PEOPLE will have NO SAY AT ALL in how we are GOVERNED... and our "Democracy" will be DEAD!!
