We Are Tribes Driven by Ideology
But, our agendas are driven by Governments that wants us distracted fighting each other
Today, we are divided into three tribes of people. The third, uses the first two.
Why The Government Drives Chaos
Tribes have been attributed to be “Political Tribes,” a book by Amy Chua. If we look at social evolutions of humanity, one common dynamic denominator shows up above others, kinship. People develop ties to one another based on an emotional bond of need. Kinship gives people a distinct sense of identity, belonging. This is a human need based on similar behavior and identity. This belonging and attachment comes with a third element, exclusion.
Right now we are using this, exclusion, by fighting each other ideologies. If we think about it, it is getting us nowhere. This paper investigates and proposes a way where we can find a common cause that is at the root of our problems. Right now, the third tribe is like the tail wagging the dog. They instigate and use our “exclusion,” to do with “our” money as they wish. We have the mass, we just do not have the sense of belonging, to get it together to drive ONE agenda as a Common cause — help everybody’s pocketbook.
One common tenet maintained alive by one core belief, was and is that “America” was and is the country based on the melding of world immigrants. The plaque of the Statue of Liberty says it all. Today, we have reached the pinnacle of that belief by “opening our borders to the world,” for any and all that want to enter. Millions are coming. Is this what our Citizens want? Or, is this what the Hotel industry wants?
What was true in 1886, when the Statue of Liberty was dedicated has to be reassessed today. We have enough internal problem as it is. More people, more poor, more colonies of foreigners that we can’t assimilate. We need to go begging for money to the world to pay for what?
In a microcosm of societies, we have “social systems” within corporations that bring people from all walks of life to achieve the overall goal of the organization. They have come a long way from the Charles Chaplin Movie “Modern Times.” In 1993 Russell Ackoff gave a lecture on “System Thinking in Action” where he explained how with evolution of technology, we grow and drive a competitive market.
Society in general is in constant turmoil because, our society is forever being compressed into blocks of colonies of alike foreign people, driven by needs our society in general does not have time to absorb. These colonies don’t change much after they are established. There is NO System thinking here. We don’t know how the rate of admission of immigrants, is affecting our society already in turmoil. If society was an individual immunocompromised (factions in turmoil) and we add COVID to the mix, there is a chance the patient will die.
We are people of a divided nation. However, we suffer more from those who use the division for their political and/or monetary gain, than the division itself. Because the division itself then, takes root and perpetuates itself with no solution. Add to that millions of immigrants to sustain, give shelter and jobs? We already have people living in the streets and defecating anywhere they want.
We need to stop this ideology partisan war and instead, take OWNERSHIP of our Government.
Today We Have a Mixed bag World View
We are experiencing a split world view. It is a three way split, a mixed bag. We have the Progressives driving a “Me” culture, who basically says, “the government is there to supply me with ALL my basic needs,” and depending on who you talk to, they are different. the Conservatives trying to hold the originality of the Constitution because “we own the government and, the government is limited in scope. It is up to us to tell them what to do through our vote.” Both are throwing rocks at each other all day long, everyday. Check the bulk of the media in Medium. That is a two way split.
There is a third group, the Banks.
This is the new apocalypse created by technology. Like hurricanes, it has a cycle. Since we today, can communicate at near the speed of light from anywhere in the world, banks, to big money dealers are a dial away. Deals can be made from anywhere, if you know the right people and have the right connections.
Billionaires are good at that. Your Mom and Pop banks of the 20th Century are gone. Now we have these huge conglomerate banks, driven by huge money. That kind of money can’t sit, it has to procreate more money minute-by-minute!
The banks have become people users. They adore money any way they can get it. They use the available money, no matter how much money “we” borrow as a government. They use it to invest it in every quadrant of markets available as long as it makes them money. This could be short term loans for overnight accommodations or longer term loans for asset investments. For example, Banks use our deposits to invest in other currencies overnight. They lend it to “trusted” individuals to use for “their” investments as well. They have tactics for every facet of the market, including when the market is crashing. For the entities that borrow money from the bank, nothing happens today because, they back up their investments with foreign investments. They want more bickering between the two other tribes because all they want is for our government is, to borrow more money to invest. The banking system is like a black hole with billionaires in the middle. The further out you are, the smaller you are but, anyone that makes money transactions needs a bank. That is a citizens event horizon. no matter how small, like the collection in church, it adds up.
Right now the USA still has a good reputation for paying their debts. We are at the pinnacle of our power to borrow money. We have hit the magic number-30 Trillion dollars. Why is it magic? Because we are at the point where, all we can pay is “the interest on the debt.” On the other hand, we are at the pinnacle of creating technology that creates jobs. Jobs produce revenue for our government. This revenue gives them taxes that are use to pay the INTEREST on the debt.
We Need Jobs
Competition drives technology to new evolutions of thinking. Steam powered vehicles showed up in the 1700s, they had many shortcomings, long start-ups, short range were the biggest. In the 1800s electric powered buggies showed up. Hey had the advantage of starting up quickly as opposed to having to build-up steam to get going and, it went faster. In 1898 Ferdinand Porsche create the very first hybrid vehicle. It used electricity and gas (like some today). Long story short, enter Ford, who, after oil was discovered in Texas, revolutionized the buggy building industry by creating a gas driven car and truck, and an assembly line to make them fast and cheap. Here we are now at the cusp of completing the circle and going back to the electric car.
That technology revolutionized industry from a “Mechanistic to a Social System Thinking” view. In the 1960s, this was driven by Corporations trying to stay competitive with the Japanese Quality systems, learned employee understanding of their job was key, and “Learning Organizations” were born. Industry has taken us this far with all the productivity gains and new markets, like social media enterprises.
However, if we cannot produce more tax through JOBS. The government will increase the taxes we do pay, in order to get enough money to pay the interest on the debt. If we can not pay the interest on our debt, as a nation we will go into a death spiral.
Besides not creating more jobs PEOPLE are refusing to work for the jobs we do have. Those who do not want to work are working against those who are, and leaching off of them because the government is sending them checks in addition to not working. The working people are paying for those checks.
The government today is a self-eating-watermelon — “An undertaking that exists only to justify its own existence, rather than serve a productive purpose.”
The government incompetence at not keeping our checkbook balanced has grown to the level of insanity — “Doing the same things over and over again expecting different results.”
When no more money is available to borrow and the shaky investments the banks are making today reach the breaking point we will see defaults like those we saw in 1986; when 138 INSURED banks failed. There will be another “Bank” crisis; at that time, the FDIC (another Unconstitutional Administrative government entity), held $9.7 billion in worthless assets. Guess what? At the end of the day, when the incompetence bubble bursts, the banks fail. They don’t care and, we talk about it as if it was not our problem, but it is. Because we ARE allowing the GOVERNMENT to do these things and at the end, we pay.
Instead of fighting about ideology, how about, we get together and fight for our wallets? –
1. Demand the government PAY THE DEBT WITH EXISTING TAXES.
2. Demand that the government FREEZE SPENDING.
3. Demand the government pass a law to, NOT SPEND MORE THAN THEY COLLECT FROM TAXES.
4. Demand the government pass a law to, MAKE LOBBYING ILLEGAL IN ANY WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM
5. Demand the government/Congress (all of it), BE LIMITED TO ONE TERM IN OFFICE.
