American exceptionalism a historical mistake repeating itself.
I Haven't Blogged in quite some time life intervened and i have been busy with my work and child.
However i feel the need strongly today to sound a warning from history which appears to be rearing its ugly head once more.
"Exceptionalism " we here this word repeating across many platforms of media, and quite frankly it frightens me more than anything else, its not the word proceeding it that i fear "American" it is the word Exceptionalism that raises the very hair on my neck.
I hear you ask the question why would American exceptionalism worry you so much ?
there is a very simple reason for this thru out history there have been countries or peoples that thought themselves greater or more superior than everyone else.
This should frighten you, the master race or the Aryan race once believed themselves to be greater as did the Japanese who also believe they were the masters of Asia, it lead to both countries committing unspeakable atrocities in the world war known as WW2, both nations would suffer horribly in there defeats, as proven thru out history one nation alone cannot rule the entire globe.
What makes this time so much different from every other time in human history is our ability to destroy one another with weapons of such magnitude, that it would render our planet uninhabitable for tens of thousands to possible hundreds of thousands of years. nobody wins a nuclear war period.
In times past humanity suffered greatly for its exceptionalism, but it always recovered as we just destroyed each other and not the very air that we breath and ground from which our food comes from.
Humanity faces a enqueue point in any species evolution, to continue to fight among ourselves for dominance of resources, that grow ever more scarce, or to unite and celebrate our cultural, religious differences.
What can i do i hear you say ? i'm only one person.
you are the person that matters the most, what you do decides the fate of the world, only you can stop this from coming to pass only you can decide to get out of your chair and say enough is enough and stand in dissonance against this new wave of exceptionalism.
this is the one time in history that can't be repeated.
