Why Would I [an Asian American] Join a Party That Doesn’t Really Like Me?
By Marie Tessier, Nov. 5, 2015 (LINK to article)
One needs to remind oneself that the American constitution was written by and for European Americans, who, belonging to the same race of closely related European peoples (including European Jews), had the makings of genuine nationhood.
But there is no such thing as "multi-ethnic nationhood", which is an oxymoronic absurdity on a par with Orwell's Ministries of Peace and Truth.
America is not a nation, but a mercenary "patron state" deceitfully posing as a nation, in order to legitimise itself, its ruling elites and the immense power they wield and abuse, to their own personal advantage and that of favoured (especially wealthy and academic) clients, at the expense of society at large.
This is a difficult, painful and frightening truth to recognise and face up to (especially for said elites and favoured clients, who control all the levers of power and influence), but the truth it is and the sooner it is faced up to the better.
Because of their own dependency on it, academics have not been honest with us, or themselves, about the true nature of the state, which I elaborate on in this BLOG.
Correction: This comment has, in the meantime, been approved and published by the NYT (LINK). The few inconsistencies are a result of MY editing.

US Constitution Written by and for European Americans
Native Lives Matter, Too
By Lydia Millet, Oct. 13 2015 (LINK to article)
When are Americans going to face up to the reality that is staring them in the face, of America not being a genuine nation, but a mercenary "patron state" deceitfully posing as a nation, in order to legitimise itself, its ruling elites and the immense power they wield and abuse, to their own personal advantage and that of favoured (especially wealthy and academic) "client citizens", at the expense of society at large and its numerous ethnic groupings, which represent the natural basis for genuine nationhood?
The American constitution, as Ms Millet's own reference to the Declaration of Independence makes clear, was written by and for European Americans, and no one else.
This is America's fundamental problem: pretending to be something it is not.
Until Americans face up this truth, there can be no glimmer of hope of them ever resolving their existential social and political problems, and learning to live in harmony with each other and the natural environment, which in the years ahead will tear the country apart. Better to face up the truth now, while there is still time to resolve these problems in a rational and civilised fashion.
It is the nature of the state itself (and not just the American state) which needs to be properly understood, something which academics have not been honest with us - or themselves - about, because of their own dependency (as clients and employees) on it: On The Perverted Darwinian Nature of the State and Civilisation itself.
