Watching the anti-Trump demonstration “No KIngs” held in a large U.S. city over the weekend reminded me of reciprocity and exclusivity, namely, selfishness and altruism. In addition, the light revolution and light stick rallies that took place in Korea last winter also overlapped. We know that many theories prove that extreme selfishness and closure can never be won. Trump’s slogan “MAGA” is to become similar and similar to the idea that only Americans are a superior people and they only need to live well, namely, the form of Nazism at the end of nationalism in the past. What’s even more absurd and upsetting is that Trump pushed his likes to the AI-generated video on yesterday’s X, and the video of him spraying dirt with “TRUMP KING” to the Knockings demonstration team.
Human beings are selfish. But we cooperate and live together. The reason is that human beings are social animals, so if I try to have everything, I will be banished from the community due to animosity from others. Adam Smith’s theory of national wealth also stated that human behavior begins with the purpose of selfishness, but that the voluntary pursuit of individual interests by invisible hands leads to cooperative and efficient distribution of resources within the market economy system. In addition, there are numerous academic theories that explain this, including the famous tick-for-tac, and the Ultimatum Game theory that humans tend to punish unfair behavior even at the expense of their own damage (negative reciprocity).
Self-centered genes and group selection theory always collide. Cultural Group Selection says that cultural characteristics are selected and evolved through competition between groups. Cooperative groups are more advantageous for long-term survival than selfish groups. However, dictatorships sacrifice the collective interests and cooperation of the whole people for the selfish survival of political parties. This weakens the internal solidarity and external competitiveness of the group itself, and in the long run, increases the likelihood that non-cooperative (dictatorial) groups will be pushed out of competition with cooperative (democratic) groups or collapse from within. Extreme nationalism and racism are similar.
I think there is a greater possibility that Trump’s actions to break up mutual cooperation will go beyond the external enemy and now collapse from the inside. The basis of the Christian spirit that he believes and argues is, above all, a competition. The competition to help the poor and poor neighbors with love is the alpha and omega of the Christian spirit. However, the actions of Trump and the Maga are acting against this compfashion.
There is a theory that military coups do not succeed in countries where GDP exceeds $10,000. And in my opinion, there will be little chance that Pasho will win in a country as rooted in democracy and diversity as the United States. Everything started out as a food fight, but if you say you’re going to eat only yourself, you’ll have to starve to death. It is anticipated that Trump’s vision of the United States adopting isolationism, adopting all production facilities, ultimately equipping the Americas and Greenland with AI to establish robot production facilities, and then becoming self-sufficient with enormous land and populations will not come true.
Everyone says the APEC gathering will be an official declaration of the end of multilateralism. Who knows? Who knows?… Our semiconductor boom cannot continue if the trading system like this collapses. And if all production facilities go to the U.S., the remaining young people in the country will have no choice but to be homeless, as a scholar says. I saw the embers of democracy in the U.S. with NO KINGS yesterday, and seeing Trump’s face gave me cruel hope. I support democracy America because democracy is not the best system, but a system that has no worst elements. “Long live American democracy!”….
