I pity most Americans
I despise a significant number of them
I spend a lot of time in the US, my fiancée is American
The problem is that even the good people have been beaten into submission
They have given up, because (and this isn't untrue) they see the problems, but they're bigger than what they can deal with when they're stretched close to their breaking point already
This is by design. Those with the power know exactly what they're doing, and it's working.
Where are you from? I just want to live somewhere where my voice matters again.
While I agree with much of that, I think regular Americans are to blame. America became what it is because of the carelessness and naivety of the culture. Americans could have had spines decades and decades ago, but instead chose to live with arrogance as a prided cultural trait.
