I, along with all other countries, see this in my brain when I hear anything that is pro political/american in verbiage and attitude. We were the best. But we stopped innovating. We stopped forging our own world. We stopped caring about the little man. We quit giving the middle finger to the government that would oppress and suppress the little man. We isolated ourselves in suburban ”communities” where the only community we felt was when we ran into acquaintances in the local starbucks. We continue to throw heaps of money into churches and buildings but we don’t build anything for those that are homeless like the way we build for a god that doesn’t even live in a space that sits empty 6 days out of the week. We sought this land, once upon a time, as refuge and a new way of life. A better way of life. And now we aggressively guard from and persecute those seeking the same life. We just don’t care any more. We are fat. We are sad. And all we want is entertainment. We consume based on the advertising thats screams at us 24/7. We occupy and protest the very corporations and machines we created. I am so preoccupied with making rent and having health insurance and taking care of my friends that I honestly have no time to really care about what is happening in the political world, let alone trying to make any change. I don’t really know whats broken. All I can see is the result of the brokenness. And I don’t like it. I wish I knew what I could do to help.
