Makes me sad. Those are people to whom the United States should be a beacon, a leader, a light showing the rest of the world how to have an open, peaceful country. We should see the people in those videos as our brothers and sisters and rejoice that they have decided to take responsibility for their community into their own hands.
Instead we chose empire, chose colonialism, chose cynical manipulation and opacity and subterfuge and undermining, callously pitting groups against each other, tearing down their society so that we can precariously balance on top.
Thank god new media is emerging so we can leave the old rotting shell of manipulative deception and its warmongering parasitic harpies behind.
Thanks clarityofsignal!
Thank you @gwiss. Your words sum it all up so well. The US could have definitely taken the high road and helped lead the world to a better future for all humanity. Unfortunately, those at the top chose the low road and have caused so much global suffering. Alas, it is also now leading to a global awakening of consciousness, and thus, maybe some greater good will come out of all this after all, and those that have caused the suffering may one day be held to account. That is what I truly hope for and post for.
Amen brother.
