Still the bad joke of the world here.

Biggest prison population, most "asset forfeiture", most chemically polluted "food" supply, paying the most for worst healthcare, relatively non-existent public transport, hegemonic oligarchy pretending to be democracy spreading democracy by "regime change", "education" system indoctrinating insularity and ignorance,

[Edit + these the LLM added for me because it's an exhausting list to manually write] mass shootings as a cultural pastime, student debt as a life sentence, "freedom" measured in gun ownership but not in healthcare access, military budget bigger than the next ten countries combined, "infrastructure week" as a recurring punchline, two-party system that’s just one party with two heads, "justice" system that’s a revolving door for the rich and a trapdoor for the poor, "American Dream" now just a subscription service with hidden fees, [Edit: and the list can go on for at least twice as long again yet.]

and a corporate monopoly media to bind peoples minds by.

... "land of the free", "USA number one!".

XD

    Imagine the day everybody wakes up to the situation,

    and does not fall for having their awakening psyop'ed into another divisive perverse managed groupthink.

    For one example,

    Wake up to that fact, and do something about it, like learning how to not be that, and how to do... well, not that [plan a heist ~ lol], but something else, something beneficial, to get out of the trap. I don't know what. Maybe put a sign up saying "Want to start an amish community with me?" *shrug*

    PS, 2 other tidbits that reminds me of... 1st, in my teens (decades ago), I graffiti'd on a friend's wall art of the american flag, the phrase "one dollar, one vote", and the friend welcomed satirical calling-out. and the 2nd, "It must be a trap" "Then why are you still going?" "I want to find out what kind of a trap it is.", from Akira always sticks in my mind. :D

    [Edit: OH! Or... to answer your

    Wake up and do what?

    question another way...

    just exactly as I said:

    not fall for having their awakening psyop’ed into another divisive perverse managed groupthink.

    Do that.]
