Play it live on every channel, every screen in the country. Put it on repeat. Show it on street corners and in pubs. Show it in primary schools and high schools. Everyone should see what we're endorsing by being a US client state. Let those who want to revel in their inhumanity go over every sick detail with glee.
Yep. Show the homeless. Show the millions in penal servitude. Show the working poor. Show the communities racked by drugs and violence. Show the school massacres. Show the executions. Show the lynchings. Show the Epstein files. Even most Americans don't know the truth of their country.
They know. They have always known. We spent years thinking they just accept it, recent years show they don't just accept it, they perpetuate and some instances cheer it on.
Well if Covid wasn’t enough of a window. I don’t know what else anyone else can do to show how fucking dumb humans truly are.
My mother included. She’s now a self confessed, self congratulatory, fully immunised, cooker.
It would seem that way, but the truth is somehow worse. Most Americans simply don't care. It's not that they don't know enough to care, they simply don't care enough to know. Accepting it, perpetuating it, or even cheering it on takes some degree or stage of caring in one way or another, most Americans (and dare I say Westerners in general) aren't even interested in the conversation.
It's funny to me you're listing things we're already aware of thanks to the US being a transparent western democracy. Things that are the subject of heated discussion within the country as well.
the usa is a warmongering duopoly, not a democracy.
It's obviously a democracy, so idk why you would deny that. Idk what a "warmongering duopoly" is.
So we shouldn't be a US client state? What should we be?
not siding with evil would be cool
America is evil, got it 👍
What should we do about it?
