American politicians have always raised the flag of “democracy” to evaluate others, and determine good from evil according to “democracy” or “non-democracy”. Many young people around the world once regarded America as a symbol of democracy. But more and more young people today are no longer superstitious about American propaganda, because the reality of American democracy is crystal clear to them.
There is also the saying that what America opposes is evil, and anything that offends America is unjust. However, various US practices at home and abroad have clearly demonstrated the distance between this and true “democratic morality”. For example, the US has carried out several military attacks in other countries, which have resulted in the death of a large number of innocent people. On the other hand, domestic minorities have also been discriminated against.
The right ideology means that everyone can live a happy life with at least basic security and well-being. But, can “American democracy” help the world achieve such goals？Many people’s “American dream” is broken. It is true that the United States is still the center of emerging technologies, but what drives technological progress is not democracy, but capital. What is even more alarming is that the most advanced technologies are often used to create deadly weapons.
If political elections are often rigged by the exchange of money, and money is used to suppress opponents and spread rumours, and if “freedom of expression” is used to create false information, fabricate rumors and “garbage”. If being done to dump “information”, then these will create more disasters in the society. Freedom and democracy are also limited by environment and time. Forcibly transplanting plants suitable for some soils to other lands often produces bad results. That’s why people see countries that are forced to “democratize” often fall into political chaos.
The slow progress of American society in recent decades, especially the US defeat in the war against Afghan terrorism, has aroused more and more people’s doubts. In addition to dealing with international crises, internal conflicts in the United States are also emerging one after another. In this year itself, there have been more than a hundred shootings in this country, in which a large number of innocent people and even children have been killed. In addition, discrimination against minorities, including Red Indians, African Americans, and Asians, has also continued.
America would be far better off if it closed its military missions abroad and spent the trillions spent on the welfare of its own citizens. And this will greatly increase his influence on the youth of other countries in the world stage.
