The Cowardice & Failures of the International Identity

It is cheap and easy to be an international person above it all. That is not a noble path. It is the path of the weak who refuse to accept responsibility for hard things greater than themselves. It is the path only for those who seek alignment only for what is easy to them. Patriotism means rooting yourself on a group of people that may not even like you but who you believe have potential for reasons they may not even understand. And then you are going to defend them because we are not one people of the world. We are a world of nations and forever will be.

When a person says, "I am an international person, I don't believe in countries," know that that person is not honorable or noble. Instead they are nothing but a coward. Patriotism is a 100-year view that looks past the variances of the presidencies.

Another thing I would like to comment on:

South Korea has been around for 10,000 years. Ray Dalio is wrong to look at cycles and then argue the US is on a decline. If you extend the window to 10,000 years you could say the US is just on a deviation from the mean, and we're just getting started.

To the Americans who incorrectly feel that the US has some sin to atone for and that it would make them feel like things are just if the US were to decline, know that we will carry the weight for you since you are too much of a coward to carry it with the rest of us. But we are just getting started.

The United States has no counterbalancing symmetrical forces to show deference to in the universe. We have no such contributions to fate. We are just getting started and will continue to remain hegemonic power for thousands of years into the future. Get with the program.
