You don't get out much, do you? American identity, traditions

feel seriously threatened. Western culture is thought to be
to seductive and corrupting. It _is_ very popular.

I see an insurmountable trade deficit with China, outsourcing of entire

to manipulate currency
(http://releases.usnewswire.com/GetRelease.asp?id=48655), but that's
nothing compared to what's to come. Wait until they collect on this
debt. A debt that was incurred by those spreaders of western 'culture',
mind you. Real culture is art and architecture, music and poetry.
Truly, anyone who thinks of cultureless, capitalistic pigs as
disseminators of culture is a buffoon.

Western buffoons tricked by their media that National Socialism was a
failure. Military defeat is a defeat of material not idealogy.
"We may be seeing in China the first true fascist society on the model
of Nazi Germany, where you have this incredible resource base in a
commercial economy with strong nationalism, which the military was able
to reach into and ramp up incredible production," a senior defense
official said.

Conservative esthetics has no merit beyond gratifying senses.
Culture is not in the trappings but in the spirit.
More flattery. Do not confuse culture you find distasteful
with absence of culture. America has an extremely strong
culture many find distasteful, particularly because it is so
attractive. They would say seductive to masses they disdain.
In multiple ways, that is precisely the idea.

It is when military action is part of the ideology.
National Socialism requires an "us-vs-them" mentality.
Popular socialism requires the same mentality, but directed
inwards. Societies use enemies as cohesive and coersive forces.
Worry away! Napoleon did too. The Pentagon's track record
on political predictions is dismal. I don't worry much about
China -- it is ungovernable [diseconomies of scale]. I worry
less about who is dominant than what they do when they get there.
Even that is limited.

You have a very narrow view of culture. Culture is, by definition,
all of those aspects of society that make it what it is, even the
parts you don't personally like.
Really, imposing your own moral and cultural visions on everybody else
gives you quite a bit in common with the current inhabitants of the
White House. I don't suppose you see it that way, but the more you
post, the clearer it becomes.
I'd recommend opening your mind a bit, and taking off your blinders.

Nothing more than words of the mealy-mouthed aesthete. Those are only
artifacts of the true culture which allows/encourages freedom of
expression. Uhh "freedom" is one of the forbidden words in your favorite
society's Internet.
So how do you feel about the bureaucratic pigs who multiply and flourish in
the power-centers of your "ideal" social structure.? By comparison, a
capitalistic pig is easy to target and depose.

They're what you described them as being. Bureaucratic pigs. There's

The U.S. is losing industry of every kind. Jobs which are being created
to replace these are inferior, pay wise, to those lost. They also offer
few, if any, benefits. For example, General Motors, the largest
automobile manufacturer in the U.S., is slashing benefits for retirees.
Not minor cuts, either. Combine this with the massive, and exploding
trade deficit with China and other nations, and the prognosis is grim.
"Today, it is more difficult than it has ever been for young workers to
surpass their parents' standard of living, thereby achieving the
proverbial American dream.
The decrease in opportunity is illustrated by the average earnings of
young men. Men born between 1938 and 1947, who were ages 25 to 34 in
1972, had average incomes of $30,000 that year (in 1993 dollars). Men
born between 1958 and 1967, by contrast, who were 25 to 34 in 1992,
averaged about $22,000 in that year-a precipitous drop (see Chart
1).[1] Similar trends prevail with regard to family and household
incomes,[2] although an increase in the number of two-earner families
and growth in fringe benefits have partially offset the effects of the
decline in individual wages.[3]
Overall, young men today have lower incomes than their counterparts did
in earlier years.[4] This reduction in relative well-being early in the
earnings cycle is likely to persist or even worsen as this generation
ages.[5] These economic trends could well have political consequences,
as those affected look for someone to blame for their downward
mobility."

"As wages fell for the typical worker, executive pay soared. From 1989
to 2000, the wage of the typical (i.e., median) chief executive officer
grew 79.0%, and average compensation grew 342%. In 1965, CEOs made 26
times more than a typical worker; this ratio had risen to 72-to-1 by
1989 and to 310-to-1 by 2000. U.S. CEOs make about three times as much
as their counterparts abroad."

Greater good of the state, and all that. Someone ready to

Nothing will bring the 50 million back. The idea is to learn from
the tragedy so it won't be repeated. Villification and taboo may
be simple, but they are incomplete and transient. Genocides have

No humor intended. Yes, I assumed (obviously wrongly, in retrospect) that
I was replying to a normal human. The assumption was that the pain of
seeing one's loved ones killed would be worse than the self. I understand
