I’m not in any way a political commentator. Below is simply my personal take. It could take a million blog posts to cover the full spectrum on what’s happening in the world..
Something I don’t usually delve into on this blog is politics. That said, I thought I should touch on it briefly, since I spend hours each day sifting through the headlines. Every morning I begin with a coffee and scan the latest developments in American politics, more out of habit than allegiance. I don’t subscribe to any party—certainly not the Republican Party—and my criticism is directed less at ordinary people or the country itself than at the corrosive forces and self‑serving figures that seem to run it. As an Aussie, some might wonder why I devote so much attention to another nation’s affairs; for me it’s partly a spectator’s fascination with the unraveling of an empire, the spectacle and theatre of a political circus.
It’s safe to say the world is in a dangerous place as I write this. We’re teetering on the brink of what feels like WW3, and at this stage that prospect seems all but inevitable. The whole planet appears embroiled in conflict, and it’s unfolding, in my view, largely because of one man. I shouldn’t need to type his name — I’m sure you know who I mean. I’ll give you a clue: he rigged the election, he’s a sex offender, a narcissist and a pathological liar; he’s gone bankrupt more than a dozen times over lucrative construction projects; he has abandoned his own people; he fires anyone in office who dares to speak the truth; he rose to power promising a stronger economy while the country now lies trillions of dollars in debt and the cost of living spirals out of control. His mental and physical health appear to be deteriorating, and he has poured billions into ICE operations that are rounding people up off the streets and sending them to detention centers. He claimed to be a president of peace, yet his actions have been those of a warmonger, provoking or supporting numerous conflicts abroad. Does this sound like the next Hitler or the antichrist? He acts with impunity, bypassing Congress while surrounding himself only with people who say yes, assuring him of his greatness and inflating his poll numbers well beyond reality. He is also an avid consumer of Fox News — need I say more? I’m not sure whether he understands how badly he is failing, or if he lives in an alternate reality where he believes himself a messiah. I honestly don’t know, but this man is ruling the world!
I know every generation says this, but we are certainly living in some very strange and fascinating times. It’s all deeply unsettling. What frustrates me is that mainstream news rarely touches on these matters in depth. Only a few days ago a primary school was bombed in one of the countries currently at war with the USA, and around 150 girls were killed by a falling US bomb. Can you imagine the reaction of the American government and the public if something like that happened on their own soil? If we’re lucky it might make a ten‑second news clip just before the weather. The average Australian, and the average American, remain largely in the dark. It’s important to be careful about the media we consume. I watch mainstream news only for local updates; for everything else I turn to a few credible YouTube channels that provide more in‑depth, unbiased coverage.
