And would the dumb, shit-chewers even know it if they smelt it?
"Americans confused over what America is"
"There is a popular fallacy loose in the United States, that "America" means the guy at the convenience store counter, the family who lives next door, the people buying popcorn at the Magic Johnson Theatre, the girl who took your lunch order, your child's teacher.
America, some mistakenly believe, is apple pie and spring festivals and face painters and clowns and Hollywood spectaculars. It is not skateboard tournaments and liberty and justice for all.
Wrong.
America means mega-corporations who make large amounts of money from the blood and sweat and bones of those listed above, and millions of others all over the world, most of them living lives of worse misery than any of the above can even imagine.
America means death squads, brutal hordes of torturers and sexual predators, hopped up and let loose on half-starved populations with no defensive weapons to speak of, save what they can steal or cobble together as the tanks roll down their street.
America means marvelous new landmines who can blow children to bits from an exciting 300 meters.
America means microwave pain rays, to cook the flesh of any who would dare oppose BTK as foreign policy.
America means murdering journalists, and forcing anyone who mentions the fact to resign.
America means that if you are poor, you are fucked, and if you are not rich, you are about to be poor.
America means that your serious disease, your horrific injury, is a terrific business opportunity for rich men who want to be richer.
America means sending people to Syria to be tortured, and then criticizing human rights in Syria.
America means occupying Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and beyond, to one degree or another, funding Israeli occupation of Palestine, while decrying Syrian military presence in Lebanon.
And the list goes on.
To oppose any of this is to be anti-American. A terror apologist. With the terrorists. An obstructionist, a rejectionist, a conspiracy theorist, anti-business, socialist, a terrorist.
And to be anti-American is not pragmatic."
