In America, repression is freedom.

  And don't we have relative freedom? We are all free to sit and read news on a website instead of working 6-7 day weeks to support our families. In a sense you can understand the perspectives of some western governments, because they think that we are better off than under-developed nations. And as long as they think that I believe two things will continue to happen. The hegemony will prevail, and its denizes will remain apathetic to its off shore actions.

    >We are all free to sit and read news on a website instead of working 6-7 day weeks to support our families. Speak for yourself. Most people would be out of their homes pronto is they didn't work 6-7 day weeks -- and tons of them already are on the streets or trailers...

      Yep. Keep the people worried about their own homes, and they'll have little time, energy, or brainpower to worry about larger problems.

    It appears you are implying that people in the US are well off because they have a lot of free time. Funny/sad thing is that this is far from reality. People in the US work more than almost any other nation in the world.

      Yes there are signs that the empire is cracking, but I can only go on rumor and news media since I'm in Sweden. Though when I use the word hegemony, I definitely include us here in Sweden.
