But seriously, everything is up in the air. Trump is right, Europe has always had the economic myopia of supposing that Uncle Sam was a super economic power house, without a precedent , possessing power and wealth of inexhaustible sources. It has become metaphoric to suppose that if there were any economic hardships , the Uncle can take care of it.
The mystification resulted in an endless devolution. Into the realm of contradiction. , where ‘no’ was never seen as a viable option. - to understand Uncle , refusing help to a friend, was unimaginable.
The myth was perpetuated by uncle’s knack for beyond judging the worthiness of helpful allies, a fact bore out of acceptance of the Casa Nostra-Mafia, in the war in Italy during WW II, when underground figures having ties with the Axis powers were utilized .Desperate times called for desperate measures.
After the drop of ideology were outbid, the kernels of political life, upstaged by a policy worthy of the final blooming of utilitarian development , coming home to roost as a stratified pragmatism, it was with the utmost surprise of surprises, that euro-existentialism of friendship’s nihilistic forbearance of any changes. should suddenly reveal a movement away from principle.
The distinction between ideology and principle is unique, at least in the context of modern 20th century politics, however the realization of China and the Far East becoming major players , did not, noticeably occur to post war planners.
China was at a very backward watershed, at a point when the Japanese Empire’s destruction. may have created the ultimate illusion of non viability of Asia per se.
The mixed economies of transitional countries , may have signaled a drastic change in a metaphoric way, but did not bring forth the strength of Chinese myth, whereby all actual political formations were buried under unheard levels of pretension, opportunism, and inauthenticity, as signs of coping with Occidental existential angst. The dramatic diversity from Russian nihilism , for instance , was never transparent enough in China, and a succeeding related clarity was unimaginable as well as irrelevant to social reality
Asia represents pure imminence flowing reversely from supposition to construction
Deconstruction was never idiomatic in the Orient, and ideology was merely of a cosmetic application, to placate the USSR.
