As an American I can tell you absolutely people around me are entirely delusional. It’s sad to see and I know I am not immune.
Near as I can tell we are, in fact, the baddies.

- Henchman21 17d agoI guess ours has gotten pretty damned bad -- it's so incredibly obvious. I've been ashamed to be an American for a long time now. Perhaps it is finally time to cut ties & move on. Truly this feels like it must be the dumbest timeline.
- cmrdporcupine 17d agoThere are no good guys. The foxes are in charge of the hen house in every country. E.g. Carney is using all of this as a chance to completely gut every climate change initiative possible and slash corporate taxes, shore up existing Canadian oligopolies etc. etc. The nationalism is a drug which can be used by elites in all places for their own purposes. It's just a matter of degrees I guess.
- Henchman21 17d agoEach of us has the capacity to be good and evil. I guess the thing I am lamenting is that no one is bothered to try and hide the evil anymore. Or maybe I see it clearly now for the first time. But regardless of what others are doing, what we are doing in the United States is absolutely shameful. I hope someday humans are able to move beyond nation-states, the economics of scarcity, capitalism, greed, hate, the need some have to control. We need to deal with the power hungry and the continued ramifications of them ruling over the rest of us. I’m not sure where to even begin.
