We live in a country that is so bloodthirsty that it has not only been involved in wars around the world for 80-90% of it’s existence, but there are mass shootings being perpetuated every week or so with no end in sight. We’re so desperate to kill one another that it’s not even safe to go a grocery store.
But at the exact same time, the laws that allow this state of affairs to continue aren’t used for their intended purpose. The 2nd Amendment is supposed to be for stopping the government from becoming tyrannical, but the ones who seem to champion it the most are the tyrants. Rights get taken away, protesters get brutalized but nothing ever really escalates like in other places. We all just decided to stop caring and move on within a week, mostly to keep our oppressors from clamping down even harder.
Sometimes it feels like the U.S. is a land full of hostages. Where the few hold the power and their armies of well paid thugs are encouraged to crush any resistance.
Healthcare workers are treated like trash and feed disinformation to the point that you might have better luck trying to resolve them yourself.
Disabled people are ignored.
Tons of our food is poisoned with boiled vegetable oils, (high fructose) corn syrup, and added sugar. (it’s probably intentional; the corporations want to reduce the effectiveness of revolutionary movements.)
Don’t forget: You have to pay the state to emigrate from the U.S.
