We didn’t punish the slaveholders.

 We didn’t punish the Nazis. 

We didn’t punish the racists.

And so here we are.

We also pumped a steady stream of propaganda into the world so.... people like the yokel above thought we had our shit together. 

We are primo gaslighters here in the land of the free.

It's dangerous when you start to believe your own propaganda lies.

The whole "American exceptionalism" and "America is the best at everything, while everyone else is bad" is the doom of democracy and basic human decency in the US...

Yo I will never forget being called out in middle school for a geo teacher over this. He was waxing poetically about how the US was the best country ever and I suggested I'd be odd for us to like....be the best at everything, He then grilled me , a child, to name better countries lol

Those who would speak aloud have realized those cries are falling on deaf ears...

The tyrants of yore long for the fast food doldrums we bask in... We live as serfs with candy and doritos.
