I'm always disappointed by how blithely my fellow U.S. people ignore our horror show, while in same breath repeating blatant propaganda aimed at others who are so much less influential than we are. It's like the garment of that is the U.S.A is this tattered, damaged, holes gaping, oversized, hanging, ill-fitting mess that people prop up and half heartedly mend with sole stitch here and there, to an obsessive and yet obviously lazy standard. Pride is a weak show of denial. It's based on nothing anyone can point to in recent times. Defenders of flag go all the way back to WWII and pretend that's enough to justify our worse behavior throughout our ENTIRE history. To be an honest American enduring this constant, weak show of systemic denial is now a given. It's why point fingers everywhere else. Some of us are trying our damndest to shed some light on where we are and where we need to go. We are getting more takers but those in obsessive denial are manic and dangerous.
