RE: Conspiracies, Freedoms: Hypocrisy in the USA
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
I am an American; I have always loved the spitfire in our hearts. I loved that underdog spirit — how we beat the British, against all odds. And I am watching my country, disintegrate. All your points are dead on. Our constitution is dead, or at least on its last 2 legs. We cannot have tanks, that would be ridiculous. What even are rights? They have to end somewhere. I feel like my childhood utopia of what I believed America was died. And I am grieving the loss of my mother land. My family generation has been on these soils since the revolution. It is very sad to wake up and understand — American isn’t “the best”.

I don't remember when America ever was the best, to be honest. It was the best in the ways that the American people specifically valued 'good': military power, wealth, freedom. But ants would consider their colony far superior for their own reasons, as do Saudi's think about their religious practices.
Being the best means very little, really. You should just aim for 'surrounding myself with happiness' or some shit like that lol
But yeah I feel you. I've been away from the UK for 10 years and I've been watching from afar as it slowly crumbles into an ever more spineless dried fish of a nation... sigh
I mean that exactly the point. From an outsiders view you’d have no idea the propaganda that happened since the time I was a kid. Whether or not it was true; I was a child, I believed it. It’s not a fair and balanced world view, and it was my childhood. It very interesting growing up and out of ideas forced upon a person.
Imagine what its like growing up in certain other patriotic nations...
That's how wars begin; agreed.
