Who is "our" & "us"? If it's not me, am I "the enemy"?
- panzagl 3y agoThe Anglophone world is "our" and "us". Since our enemies "used" that word, you are only one if you also live in the past tense.

Kindof like the English speaking people of Japanese descent in the Western US circa 1940. Stripped of their property & sent to internment camps. I hope history does not repeat itself in present & future "propagation" efforts. But hope & reality are two different things. I would love to meet the "we" or "us" that is doing the propaganda. To propagate what I think about their efforts of course.
