Opinion: The US is in total chaos, with ongoing race riots and a nation on the brink of another Civil War. But George Floyd’s death has done far more than incite a riot, exposing a much bigger issue. Joe_Hildebrand writes.
In other words, the last 75 years of peace enjoyed by the West is far from the norm. On the contrary, it is so unprecedented in history and unique in geopolitics it borders on the miraculous.
In short, America is deeply flawed – as all nations are – but it is a nation that needs improving not demolishing. And history has always shown that when nation states are torn down it is those at the bottom, not the top, who suffer the most. If Trump truly is the dumbest and most dangerous President in US history then why can’t the Democrats find anyone who is un-backable to win?
This is what happens when you condemn democratic institutions instead of harnessing them. It’s what happens when you fight on the streets instead of at the ballot box. Yet their noble actions are too-often overshadowed by over-privileged brats, so many of whom are clearly not black nor familiar with true struggle.
