      And my countrymen won’t. And never have. American culture is founded on selfish single mindedness. The fascists could kill us all one by one, side by side and the dumb selfish bitch 10 ppl down would go, “Not my problem”; rinse and repeat.

        Not true. There is tons of history of Americans banding together to fight elites. Even in the past 2 years there is. But yes the scale needed hasn’t been achieved yet.

        I still believe it could happen.

        Unions in the us helped Americans enjoy work privileges that are being rolled back now. But despite that unions are gaining popularity. Anti union propaganda has been tough to overcome but people are starting to realize they aren’t ever going to get their fair share unless they band together.

          And that’s what everyone who keeps saying “americans: fix your country” is still waiting to see.

          You guys need to get past that “rugged indivisualist” mentality and work together en masse if you hope to regain control of your country.

          find me the books you think challenge the fictional but sincere history of uncle tom’s cabin, and the non fiction of Phillis Wheatley, no one is illegal, and Assata Shakur and Huey Newton’s accounts of how disgusting this country is and ill give it a go. otherwise, this country is vile and so are the people.
