Yeah no shit.
Hey is African American portrayed Captain America still in theatres? Lololololol ya fucking Nazis.
Americans are the only people in the world that thought that America was the leaders of the free world
Pssst… Here’s a little secret… It never was.
I mean, people hating America has no bearing on that. We were the leader of the world for a long stretch after world war 2, indisputably.
You might remember a certain thing called the Cold War? Which was about the world divided in TWO, because most countries aligned with EITHER the USA OR the USSR? And even then there were unaligned countries.
Now you might say: 'ugh, they don’t count, because we “won” '.
But that is itself an admission that it wasn’t that way before you “won”.
That’s always been “free” as in “market”.
Then why can’t I buy a BYD car in the US? Why can’t a concert venue sell tickets without paying protection money to LiveNation? Why can’t all merchants transparently display and pass through all the fees that Visa, MasterCard etc. charge them? I could go on all day, the USA is not a free market.
After we polluted the rest of the world for our trinkets.
I still don’t understand how these people are not being held accountable. As a veteran, it makes me feel discraced I even bought into the propaganda.
Granted, this was pre-internet. It was much easier to brainwash people then.
Both yes and no. If you fall into an algorithmic rabbit hole, you might never see the truth- they’ll just throw bullshit at you to keep you engaged. This is being abused at an alarming rate to metaphorically zombify people into angry little brownshirts.
On the other hand, we can witness the atrocities in Palestine; we can see the mobs of settlers beating people out of their homes, we can see videos of indiscriminate collective punishment via weapons of mass destruction, and we can see the shitposting IDF soldiers do on social media bragging about the rape and violence they did today. We can watch Trump lie and get fact checked in real time, or witness them try to sanewash the insanity we just witnessed live.
