John Fitzpatrick. About New China, the Koreas, Myanmar, Thailand, and also about Japanese and Chinese writers and poets. The main emphasis is on North Asia and the political tectonics of this very important, powerful, and many-peopled area.

I guess, for me, the nature of spruiking advertising politicians in democracies around the world in the past decades is that they are fearful and furtive... and they only get votes if they are fearful and furtive and drive home the message that 'you need me, and only me, and you need my bizarre ideology'. This is simply madness. Magnificent megalomaniac narcissism. We don't need them at all. The world is okay, as okay as it ever has been. It is as okay as it ever will be in our lifetimes and well beyond. All that is good on earth lies in its right measure, as always. The world is not actually on fire from Morocco to the Phillipines... Their statements and fears is just 'advertising for profit'. The best way to deal with the insanity at the real core of democracy is this: Have a vote. The person who wins, becomes the national leader. The person who comes second becomes the deputy leader, and then on you go through the ranks of ministers etc based upon the voting reality of the people, not the parties. Do it all again 5 years later. The notion that there are only 2 ideological 'realities' left and right...is an illusion. It is best not to pander to illusion, but rather to get the most voted for people into reasonable jobs to do what they promised to do, and then vote them out if they don't do it. So, in my way of thinking, if Hillary is to be President, then Donald is Vice President...apparently they are voted for because they love and are best for their country...whats wrong with that?...and the same all down the line in terms of voting numbers. That's democracy. We haven't seen real democracy yet in this world, but we will see it one day.
