why not go the whole hog and start thinking in terms of what the whole of humanity stands for and not just America.
it's time to move past territorial / tribal groupings.
for extra brownie points we could start thinking in terms of the whole biosphere.
- mistermann 13y agoSure, everyone's always had an idea of what we should do, but for a while there, the US actually in many ways did it. These things don't last long though.
- vidarh 13y agoAre you serious? Until well after the Civil Rights Act, the US was substantially lagging a ton of countries in liberties and opportunities for your own population, and for pretty much the entire period since the US has done it's best to oppress various other people (assortment of wars, CIA sponsored coups etc.). The US has just been better at marketing itself on a freedom angle based on claimed aspirations that has never been followed through.
