@PhoenixSerenity that’s fine. Have no idea how some Americans will ever understand how abhorrent the US leadership has become and crucially, witness the vast number of supporters including people who flock to get into ICE and the numbers of Americans who are now war profiteers.
Think of how many people are making hand over fist dollars, from outfitting our own law enforcement as military overlords against us. Then there are those making untold billions from supplying actual war machines all over the world.
We even funded enormous tech powers against our whole population. Bio identification at airports, doorbell cameras, Flock with its recording of all vehicle traffic, police and ICE and the many allied law enforcement people can and do routinely use vast databases of most citizens and and switch on surveillance of communication, no matter what type.
Then there are the people who profit by trying to dominate social media selling something that may or may not be a “product” or services.
Think of how the US leadership in power came together quickly, maybe 24 hours, when Charlie Kirk, a religious White Nationalist who went after college students who are voters, in TurningPoint USA, was murdered publicly. This whole country was supposed to honor this man as a martyr and an extravaganza of a memorial service came together in less than a week. President and VP prominent speakers, white faith leaders preaching away, crowds of crying white people, maybe all fashionably dressed and ready for their national spotlight cameos.
At this point those who have White privilege and don’t notice it every day may never get it—because it is now oozed into a badge of identity, of honor and pride. One is a Good Guy because Others are the bad guys. This is by design and has been for decades and hundreds of years now in the USA. There are far more Others now and people have fallen into the spell of Fear and Loathing. Seek security in Power at all costs.
There are a lot of Others all these profiteers and charlatans and grifters and scammers and spies and snitches are coming down at from every angle. Who among us are going to approve these methods and goals presented by Power and Money?
I have fear because that point of view is now pervasive overt reality, and acceptable now. Churches manufacture morality and the seal of approval to support the State and the State is happy to be guided by the Church. The White Christian Nationalists and Prosperity Churches that profit from conformity and Power.
Fran Zappa was right because (“Who Can Imagine”) It Can’t Happen Here. If you’ve never heard it , give a listen and be sure to listen to the discordant sounds that because a complete wave. 1966 warning was spot on with all these songs of Freak Out warning of all these things happening NOW all over the US.
SIXTY YEARS AGO! If you never heard it, listen to this shared link song and maybe look at the Wikipedia history of the album and what ALL these songs of the first concept album and double album produced in the US are warning of.
I hafta stop now because I’m turning into an impotent ball ‘o fury and rambling. Thank you so much to any one who listened.
