Hi Vineeto,
It’s remarkable how you lay out everything what happened here. To give you a brief update, since starting his second term, the US president has issued a spate of executive orders that directly address essentially everything you mentioned here. As much of the interventions in the USA were at the level of the federal executive branch, much can be undone at that same level. The orders he issued so far include actions to:
- Create a new Department of Government Efficiency, tasked with reducing bureaucratic waste and spending (which directly contribute to the massive inflation in recent years) – which according to the US Debt Clock has already resulted in $18 billion dollars of savings
- Deliver “emergency price relief” by, among other means, “eliminat[ing] counterproductive requirements that raise the costs of home appliances”
- Push back against ill-conceived and harmful-to-humanity environmental policies by eliminating the electric vehicle mandate, withdrawing from the Paris Climate Accords, allowing and encouraging exploration and production of the natural energy resources so abundant in the country in general and in Alaska in particular (expediting all of which by declaring a national energy emergency), and prioritizing the well-being of humans over the well-being of a small species of (just one of the many and various species) of fish rather than vice-versa with regards to access to fresh water in California
- Begin to un-do the dangerous gender ideology and thus restore the privacy of girls’ toilets, restore the dignity of female sports, and in general unraveling all the harm (and particularly harm to young kids) that such a noxious ideology has perpetrated, via establishing clear definitions of male and female, declaring sex not to be interchangeable with ‘gender identity’, signaling agencies and employees to enforce all laws “to protect men and women as biologically distinct sexes”, rescinding “gender identity-based access to single-sex spaces”, ensuring “that males are not detained in women’s prisons”, designating intimate spaces by sex and not identity, ensuring the “right to single-sex spaces in workplaces”, along with other such protections, and signaling the legislative branch to codify the executive order into law
- Withdraw from the World Health Organization (with an explicitly stated reason due to its “mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic”) and temporarily pause medical grant reviews[1] by the US’s National Institutes of Health, both of which contributed to the severity and impact of the worldwide pandemic
- Take immediate steps to stymie the mass influx of millions of (illegally-entering) “aliens” by declaring a national emergency at the southern border (authorizing the use of the Armed Forces and establishing policy that it is their duty to protect the border), closing asylum/refugee loopholes, continuing to build the border wall, attempting to end birthright citizenship (“birth tourism” to the USA is significant and an extra motivator for illegal immigration), and literally declaring the mass influx of people to be an invasion and thus using constitutional powers to temporarily halt all physical entry.
On top of everything you already mentioned, the sinistral statist ideologies of the world conspired to censor the free speech of their complaining peasants. The founder of Facebook revealed that the administration at the time requested they remove not only misinformation but also factually accurate information, such as the universally accepted fact that it’s possible for vaccines to have side effects, going so far as demanding they remove a satirical meme about this topic[2]. To that extent, the US president issued executive orders to end federal censorship of free speech and end the weaponization of the federal government against the ‘peasants’ acting too inconveniently.
In other words, it appears that the “generally obliging and subservient peasant population” indeed had enough, voted a person into power to undo the dire situation that had been wrought upon them in recent years, and that person is now actually executing on that which he promised. The fact that the extent to which these actions are fulfilments of campaign promises made is surprising speaks volumes about the current political system we find ourselves in.
The above all happened within the first 24-48 hours of the new administration[3]… and yet the mass media[4] has chosen to focus inordinate amounts of attention on the heartfelt emotional gesture an autistic man made in appreciation for the public’s support for his chosen candidate, insinuating that a person who has consistently supported free speech, equal protection under the law regardless of race, democratic voting (which is what he was showing appreciation for at the time), and the state of Israel itself[5], is actually a fascist Nazi or somehow sympathetic to those who are (conveniently overlooking the fact that many[6] other[7] prominent[8] public[9] figures[10] have also in the recent past made such superficially-similar gestures).
Indeed, by this point it is so absurd and so many people have woken up to these tactics, that it does seem to “no longer be effective” – albeit I was stunned at how many people it did still manage to have an effect on.
Although these recent events are remarkably refreshing, and indicates a dangerous trend towards censorship and totalitarianism is finally being reversed (including the reversal of the patterened-after-Marx division and discord sown along racial lines, evidenced by a total extirpation of so-called Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion initiatives from the federal government and federal contractors and “the termination of all discriminatory programs” as well as a re-affirmed commitment to colorblind equality before the law[11]), not only in the USA but also in Argentina and other nations around the world… it is eminently clear that none of it will actually cure or solve the fundamental problem of the human condition.
Increasingly totalitarian and anti-human elements have crept in over the past decades, and it was only through remarkably strength of will and often an access to vast quantities of money that these leaders were able to be elected such as to actually enact the will of the increasingly-growing majority of the people in these regards. And there are many and various counter-indicators today such as various[12] first-world countries[13] punishing speech more harshly than violent crimes, and the democratic elections in Romania literally being canceled, suspended, on the flimsiest of pretenses.
In other words, even if the world does trend to a positive direction now… there’s no telling if it will succeed, or how long it will last. Prosperity tends to breed complacency, at which point the more devious elements creep in again.
The best possible thing I can do remains. It is not to espouse a particular political ideology or attempt to convert the massive hordes of people viciously railing against the above actions and falsely smearing their proponents with all manner of calumnies[14]. Rather, it is to self-immolate, to sacrifice myself for the benefit of the human species in general and of the people in my life I am most intimate with in particular (which will be of immense benefit for this body as well), such as to do the very best I can to bring about an actual, lasting and perennial peace on earth, in my lifetime. It is actually possible, and I can take this next step to enable it to occur at the maximum potential I possibly can!
Cheers,
Claudiu

… one of the worst ones being assertions that President Trump called neo-Nazis and/or white supremacists and/or white nationalists “very fine people”, when in that same press conference he condemned them totally… on top of assertions and a general pushing of a media narrative that not only did he not condemn them at that press conference but that he never condemned them at all and refuses to condemn them, which the following four-minute montage of various clips of him doing just that puts definitively to rest: link. ↩︎
