My comment isn’t throwaway. It was intended as a counterpoint. If you seek some clarification, then ask.
My point is to paint the picture that leveraging extremes doesn’t work. It is often the case that the west, in particular the U.S., assumes their way is the best and that this way should be applied, forcefully if necessary, elsewhere. In reality, the world’s two most powerful nations, that is the U.S. and China, are at the extreme opposite ends of political and economical ideology. One has corporations controlling everything and the other has the government controlling everything. In both cases, it is an extreme but minority so-called elite group that controls the fate of the people.
My lament is this scenario, because it is clear, at least to me, that the ideal is somewhere in between.
