Oppression is hard to ideally divest from. Less than ideal divestment is hard to fully comprehend impacts of.
USA borrows money and buys goods from Communist China. We allow a less than ideal path forward to be reinforced, reinforced in a consequential way. Less money, less involvement does not guarantee to less problems in a Communist country. Invest or Divest becomes a less straightforward path does not equate to path chosen is inconsequential.
Too much money reinforces the grip on power by the communist party.
Too little money might facilitate less reliance, less capacity to sway alongside of harsher conditions.
USA Citizens are taught to value Freedom and Reducing Oppression. The idea we are allowed to ideally invest, that investment isn’t both complicated and hard is a potentially oversimplified view.
I invest in Electricity, yet I do not want to think about all child electrocutions that are possible every time I turn on the lights. I invest in Cars, yet I do not want to think about all the accidents that are possible every time I turn the key in the ignition. I buy a product, many times not knowing where it was produced – I don’t want to think about oppression it is potentially reinforcing yet I do not want to reinforce it. The three are examples of systems that we invest in less than ideally, less than ideally in consequential ways.
Better does not equate to perfect. And deaths from Communist China seem to be much higher than both Child Electrocutions and Car Accidents – though numbers, numbers that matter greatly are obfuscated from view at times. In a system where numbers and communication is less than ideally straightforward, based upon perception and public sentiment, divesting ideally from oppression investing in Real Freedom and a Better Future becomes more complicated.
Golden Rule and Christianity becomes a more difficult path. Call out beatings in Communist China of Christians in comparison with Isis beheadings? No potential for playing favorites with those that control the purse strings? All this while USA citizens are combating their own problems, problems like preventing oppression in our own country, while battling for moral superiority and high grounds in consequential ways – less access to freedom and prevention of freedom in USA is both possible and consequential. Less of a problem is desirable, consequential – at war with each other in society has high potential for less-than-ideal strength combating problems on the world stage.
Part of the idea of a democracy is that people can disagree, can voice their opinions in ways that work together for the common good. Seems at times democracy can be polarizing, and vastly limiting capacity and power in society. If every four years, depending on the party one chooses their economics can be thrown into shambles, expect that to deliver ideal oppression out on the World Stage?
USA Citizens More United for common goals like Reducing Oppression and Inspiring Freedom is vital to capacity to actually deliver better on that for the world. A less united front is less wind in the sails of reducing oppression and inspiring freedom. We fight the world suffers seems apt. Head starts matter – no guarantee when the next war, natural disaster, or pandemic might be. Future gets set to guaranteed, time to fix and make peace gets set to plentiful.
USA needs solid leadership with a clear compass, factors into capacity to Unite and Protect Future Generations. Clearly able to see problems factors into what I turn up and what I turn down in society. Systems, like CFB – Cute Funny Beautiful and Art are consequential systems, turned up is consequential, turned down is consequential, not fully perceiving and comprehending problems of the day is consequential. Less capacity to comprehend should not be equated to less consequential. Put a pause on that versus don’t put a pause on that less than ideally straightforward, not always said outright, expectations without words not always an ideal system. A compass that ifs, maybes the grounds between North and South, East and West is unlikely to be followed.
The Government A’s met on whether people should be in society or out of society at times. Yet the Government does not always A met on choices people should make on what factors into perceived as desirable vs less desirable, like buying products from China. A like in grade, 100%. Judge but don’t discuss, if ground and expect ideal is not right for fellow citizens, let alone future generations. Be involved in international trade, be close, just don’t be too close, for children that will be running businesses of their own one day? Not really good enough for me or fellow citizens, yet on current trajectory unlikely to be fixed for the future?
I am well educated, and it is difficult for me on a good day, consider sufficient flex, grace, and forgiveness added for people in society that might not be educated to same extent?
