If you agree please spread it as I think this is one of the clearest examples of how media is controlled by the US

it's hard to answer without flying into a rant

my thoughts are, that,

from the time I was around 3 to the time I was around 13 I was waiting for someone or some datum to show me how the USA wasn't in fact a place of supreme evil, indistinguishable from the enemies it constantly warns against, and that when I was 14 I fucking lost it with feelings of betrayal and suspicion for just about everyone but a handful of other runaways.

it took a long time to see parents and family / family-friends as victims, in addition to officers, of Americanism. I still struggle to not start orating fiery-style when friends and family repeat the lies that seemed so glaringly obvious to me as a kid. I know it does the opposite of what I hope for, though, so I continue the struggle, all the struggles. It fucks with my head how much this litany of insane life-negating doctrines impresses everyone. It's so rare to talk to anyone at all in real life that isn't somehow digesting it, and just-barely-consciously deciding to go along with it.

I hate this nation that captured me all those years ago with my whole being, but I love humans, I love people, with the same exact fire. It's fucking hard. This situation is harder than I imagined it would be for me to process clearly, even though I've been steeled for it, dreading it, for decades.

For whatever it can possibly be worth, the people that reared me included anti-zionist Jews, and they schooled me so hard in ethics & then-current-politics, I can only imagine that if they were alive today we'd be seeing them in the streets right now, doing what we should all be doing, dismantling this motherfucker!
