That's why I fucking hate it that the US is constantly preaching and forcing its system unto other people. It's almost like a religion that unless a country accepts liberal democracy, they are a "heathen".

Liberal democracy is turning into a disaster. But the ship has no captain and is too heavy to realize its about to hit an iceberg.

Odd the "End of History" which envison a world run by liberal democracy and American exceptionalism was written by a Japanese-American Francis Fukuyama in 1989/1990 man sucks to be him and he has changed his tone also

I personally think Overseas Pakistanis, who live abroad and has Pakistani roots should not get involved in this. Pakistani Americans should not choose sides by supporting whites or blacks. Its a racial matter and let the US government and the targetted community resolve it.

Yeah he admitted he was drunk on euphoria. Nearly everything he predicted did not come true.

Sometimes I wonder if US would be better with state controlled media.

MSM profits from chaos and spreading fear which is pretty bad for our democracy, worse than anything state controlled media could do, projecting a false sense of stability and peace.

State controlled media is not great but it still seems less toxic and destructive compared to MSM.

1. People pretend to live in a calm, peaceful world with state controlled media.
2. MSM force feeds people ugly truths and stirs outrage every day to profit.

Would you rather pretend to live in a calm, peaceful world world or be forcefed ugly truths daily?

Well NPR and PBS are quasi owned by the Federal Govt, its the same thing American Media and Soft Power mainly Hollywood and the news industry have links with the state in some capacity since World War II and Cold War look at Operation Mockingbird

I remember seeing how US was strongly condemning the Hong Kong police how they were treating the rioters but we know what we saw. Rioters were setting police and civilians on fire. In the US it is the police threatening to kill the protesters who fight for justice.

I made a thread on this subject please feel free to expand and I agree 100 percent with you we gain nothing by backing any side in this racial tension

Yeah he admitted he was drunk on euphoria. Nearly everything he predicted did not come true.

Now he is basically saying "democracy is being tested" a part of him wants the status quo to stay

 

[Yankee-stani]

Meh anyways most journalists working abroad do tend to collude with some powers

 

[riscol]

The US is in a state of emergency. Over 100.000 deaths and steaming towards 2 millions infected. Couple of cities where riots are happening demanding for justice. The CIA fueled this sort of turmoil in Hong Kong and now it is happening in the US. Karma?

 

[Asian.Century]

Interestingly Whites are immigrants as well as Blacks, Asians, Spanish, Pakistanis and Indians etc.

Yeah NPR and PBS are so much more soothing to listen to.

I know state run media gets a bad rap but honestly it is so much more enjoyable, calming, and relaxing to listen to.

Of course he wants the status quo to stay, he was one of the biggest proponents of liberal democracy. But the status quo is being blown to shreds literally minute by minute.

These are the reasons why China has state controlled media.

People shit on China for censorship without realizing that it serves a purpose, and the main purpose is to keep society stable and reduce conflicts.

Yeah NPR and PBS are so much more soothing to listen to.

Yeah there was once a day when PBS represented the standard in American news reporting. Now all you have are verbal death matches and unhinged screaming from FOX to MSNBC.

Exactly

Imagine if Pakistan had state controlled media, we could finally get rid of this media outrage and instill some ethics and moral values into Pakistani society and people.
