Yep. Show the homeless. Show the millions in penal servitude. Show the working poor. Show the communities racked by drugs and violence. Show the school massacres. Show the executions. Show the lynchings. Show the Epstein files. Even most Americans don't know the truth of their country.

    They know. They have always known. We spent years thinking they just accept it, recent years show they don't just accept it, they perpetuate and some instances cheer it on.

    Well if Covid wasn’t enough of a window. I don’t know what else anyone else can do to show how fucking dumb humans truly are.

    My mother included. She’s now a self confessed, self congratulatory, fully immunised, cooker.

    It would seem that way, but the truth is somehow worse. Most Americans simply don't care. It's not that they don't know enough to care, they simply don't care enough to know. Accepting it, perpetuating it, or even cheering it on takes some degree or stage of caring in one way or another, most Americans (and dare I say Westerners in general) aren't even interested in the conversation.

    It's funny to me you're listing things we're already aware of thanks to the US being a transparent western democracy. Things that are the subject of heated discussion within the country as well.
