there is something to be said abt being born in america and knowing your existence and life is propped up by horrors committed by men you've never met hurting people around the world but then that life being that of poverty and marginalization so you don't even get the chance to do anything about it but flee the country and that's if you're lucky

#i'm not gonna say it tho cuz idk what it is #i just find it so strange that so many people attach their identity to this country #even in conversations where they recognize that this country just doesn't exist without the global abuse it perpetuates #they still think of themselves as americans it's crazy to me #i could never think of myself as part of this country that's like #a big deal in why i want it to die #cuz i'm getting 'benefits' that i do not want made from sacrifices i would never force given it was my choice #how are you not horrified by existing like that #how is it not the most grotesque existence possible to be an american #why don't you want to Do anything about it?????#and i mostly just try not to think abt it cuz idk it feels very 'the yank is whining again' but idk #i can't get it out of my head the dissonance i feel when people posit american as a legitimate identity #even if it's like 'i love america that's why i want it to be better' like wtf are you loving??? this government has nothing to offer #i just don't want to live here and my government agrees that i Shouldn't live at all #i'll probably keep thinking abt this weird feelings paradox but i'll shut up abt it #cuz i don't wanna give off the weird self flagellating vibes that other people do when they try to excuse their lives lived in america #cuz i don't wanna excuse it but i really don't know what i Have to excuse i have so little i can't even live anywhere #now i'm just homelessness complaining #sorry
