Yeah but not by choice, I literally can't join the US military for health reasons.
Ok, it's a few posts back, but:
Even if we just look at western nations, hell, just the Anglosphere, there's a frightful host of counter-examples currently in governments.
Yeah, I'm a genius but they won't let me in MENSA for intellectual reasons.
Mensa is full of smart people who don’t do anything with their lives. The US military is like the Roman legions of old.
Basically the only people who get into the foreign policy arena in the US government are liberal hawks, and offensive realists with a few defensive realists like Obama good luck being a progressive internationalist or constructivist those people go to the useless UN.
Like the roman legions of old... so a core fighting force buried under a system designed to keep common people in basic jobs while promoting nationalism???
Your half right. Right now many Americans are working bullshit jobs. We could legit do a 32-hour workweek and just be productive, and eventually when America becomes stronger by defeating China, Russia, and Iran the jobs get better(Of course due to other reasons as well like quantum computers, AI, biotechnology). Our jobs won't get replaced by AI, they will be replaced by bullshit jobs, think if an AI makes 50 widgets, and a human makes 25 widgets, 75 widgets is still better than 50 widgets by the AI itself. I don't care as I am very good at my job, but an AI could be better and faster, but then you would lose a human worker/cog. Granted we could just get rid of humans, and do UBI with a strong welfare state, but then we would be hedonistic degenerates as a society.
As for nationalism, yeah I am both a civic and liberal nationalist. I believe anyone can become an American, and I go one step further by stating everyone should become one. Even Iranians, Chinese, Russians, their elites however are in the way, and I hope the US deals with them(JDAMS, drone strikes, etc.)
Every American-born, every immigrant to the US, and every US worker and soldier, every US tech advancement is one step to American hyperpower and hegemony and hopefully dominance on Earth, in the Solar system, in the Miky Way, and in the Local Group of galaxies. On the opposite side, every Russian soldier dead in Ukraine, Every Iranian soldier killed by Israel in Syria, and every Chinese birth that doesn't happen in Shanghai(due to low birth rates) is an American victory.

That is true, but I am talking about the future. When America's economy grows 50-fold or more due to the space exploration revolution, rising tides lifts all boats. Where is the Elon Musk of China, the EU, or Russia? Why are all of the smart EU, Chinese, Indian, and Russian computer programmers, engineers, etc. coming to the US... because of high salaries. You are right your average German cashier doesn't want to go to the US due to a lack of healthcare and free college, but when the disparity of income, and hopefully one day a strong wealth state comes along it will make everyone want to either come to America or join the American state.
Also, the J6 people are temporary.
What's the relevance here?
Do you expect blind adherence to one's own government's foreign policy?
Oh, OK. Ostriches can cover 10 feet in a single stride.
Obama tells Midwestern voters worried about inflation that GOP is 'not interested in solving problems' | CNN Politics
Former President Barack Obama on Saturday sought to sway voters who are worried about inflation, warning in two key Midwestern states that Republicans seeking control of Congress have no plans to rein in prices and could target social safety net programs.
www.cnn.com
Okay since many people who are voters don't understand why the GOP has fixated on inflation and energy prices let me explain.
Basically, if Trump and the GOP win in 2022 and 2024 they are going to do better ties with Saudi Arabia(OPEC), and possibly Russia. Also, Obama-Biden fossil fuel regulations will go away, and we will help the fossil fuel companies get paid after fossil fuels are rendered obsolete. I doubt most voters even know this first part because most people don't pay attention they just see the GOP pandering to this issue and assume they will magically solve it.
The only problem is it will make climate change worse, and that could make the weather fuck us up more than short to medium energy price hikes and thus inflation which is increased if energy prices increase.
But thanks to the horrible state of American politics with the only trusted institute being the military and small businesses we have a rule in America if you're explaining it your losing. Quick snappy insane slogans are the norm.

Whatever happens, the democrats will lose. If Biden and Co win this case, Asians will turn conservative and vote for GOP candidates in the 2024 elections. If Biden loses this case, African American and Latino enrollment at elite colleges, and high-power C-suite jobs to a lesser extent will decrease. I can't find a way to square this circle for the Biden Admin, and neither can they. The republicans already control young males to a T, now they will eat into the Asian votes. I hope the democrats know what they are doing.
But I do have an idea... It's not fun and would piss everyone off. But get rid of the Australian/secret ballot, and don't do universal voting as Brazil nearly had a fascist win a second term WITH universal voting.
That would help the democrats and moderate presidential candidates on the Republican side. If you vote for Trump, you couldn't hide it, if you're in a swing state, ditto MTG, etc.
For example, I voted republican Mike Dewine, why? Hopefully, create another Kasich so that he could divide and conquer the republicans... You need more divide-and-conqueror tactics on dem's side.
Your idea is systematic voter intimidation.
