As a compromise of sorts, we can at least give this thread to the "Longest Thread Ever" library.
However, I think this topic is remedial reading for wannabe global masters or global managers or simple-minded sincere global dreamers. The bit above about Freudian analysis may apply, if simple approximations to globes can be imagined in ever smaller proportions. Such primal inner impulses as sucking still nurture global politics in general. In fact, under Freudian analysis, all politicians can be aligned in neat rows as piglets at sow spigots of public funds. That is perhaps the best analysis of the whole of Globalist Ideals, including socialism for the masses. Make humans all dependent on the Grand Sow of public dispensations.
While perhaps the first primal principles of the American Experiment might have been just to prevent Kings from sucking funds from the populace, with no reference to providing anything at all to the taxpayers, it all began to unravel with the circus masters' exploitation of even a system designed to limit a federal government to being merely a servant of smaller disparate states. In earlier times, in our "Republic", the States had their ring in the circus, called the Senate, which was supposed to protect the sovereinty of the States and limit the Federal accumulation of States' Rights.
Enter the media, first as an ostensible department essential to the Government, professing to be a watchdog but employing mesmerizing tactics on the lowly public which needed to be made a tool for the interests, rather than a watchdog to prevent government from running amok.
Historians generally make the same mistake most people do, in reverfencing print or media of any kind as something tangibly credible, like material somehow in the materialists' dreamworld, capable of making dreams real, though still without substance.
The founding design of the American Constitution was to limit the accretion of power to interested, that is influencer, parties, in hopes that an intelligent and self-interested public would want to prevent such incursions into their lives, and remain relatively free to pursue their own lives, liberties, and happinesses.
A people who must be propagandized, indoctrinated in government camps even ostensibly "schools" or "colleges" funded by the governmnet, is a people that is controlled, managed, enslaved.
People who don't see that truth are sincere slaves.
Whether we are a "democracy" or a constitutional republic just doesn't matter if we are slaves. People who sign on to grand public causes like "socialism" or environmentalism even with valid hopes like "saving the planet", as activists for the cause, who can't see the puppeteer's hands pulling the strings of their hearts and minds are worse than slaves. A slave may be compelled to work the will of the masters, but activists and crusaders have lost their own souls to the mesmerizing prattle of the media masters. A slave can still think, at least, for himself, or herself.
However, the originating idea behind our government's constitution at the outset was to empower people to run their government. the machine is still there, the idea is still there for people to retake their own lives, liberties, and become genuinely happy in the pursuit of their own real welfare or interests.
And that is why this discussion is the one essential discussion for mankind.
