LOVE AND HATE POLITICS

 SOME PERSPECTIVES

Originally posted as responses to Quora questions

1. How are you going to show the sense of nationalism to your country?

Why should I? I do not believe that nationalism is a good or useful thing

Nationalism has no basis in rational thought, human psychology and value for scientific or educational development.

2. Should every country become self-reliant

No country can be self-reliant economically or politically. The rich countries need poorer countries for their raw materials and cheap labor and as markets for their industry.

The strong countries need politically weak ones to boss, to control and to assist them in achieving their diplomatic and militaristic aims.

The strong countries also experiment with social engineering and propaganda using their puppets in the weaker countries and the ignorance of the general population.

It is true that all of the above is temporary as human history goes, but there were always the exploited and the exploiters, the subjects and the law makers. Their descriptions change but not their characters. ethics, beliefs and self-righteousness which remain the same.
