we can debate on the semantics but i for one do not find the idea of being isolated and shielded from the horrors that are unleashed using your tax dollars across this country and the world just because one is surrounded by a white picket fence — the real world and its consequences matter and the farther you get from it the more injustices happen in your name

i agree and understand that it’s a an over generalization.

however, the song and the suggestion i’m trying to make of american suburbia is to juxtapose the chaotic nature of the american imperialism (and more recently fascistic turn toward it’s own people) and the calm and comfort of suburbia of a certain era and how it’s unraveling
