America in the dark side

If you are angry, you fall into the dark side of the Force.

The reason why Star Wars is great is not only the success of technology, but the philosophical thinking behind it is also a very important point. Fight against the dragon for too long, beware that you will become a dragon. Victory is not achieved by killing the enemy. If you lose yourself in the process of defeating the enemy, you will lose even if you win.

From this perspective, Osama bin Laden succeeded. Although on the surface it seems that the United States has become stronger, and it seems invincible to fight everywhere, but in fact, 9/11 has changed the United States forever, and the open and self-confident United States is gone forever. After all, the people succumbed to fear and allowed interest groups to manipulate them to initiate war after war. The military-industrial complex became stronger and stronger, and the army became farther and farther away from the people.

In the 1980s, the Vietnam War and the Iranian hostage crisis, American society was filled with a spirit of reflection to make such a movie, but now, the United States, which is trapped in the dark side of the Force, can only produce such garbage as Star Wars 7-9. .
