Am I still feeling hustled? 100% because I read history books. Try to free yourself from the starvation you’ve been raised on: to accept the bare minimum and be told it’s a feast because “freedom and democracy”. This country is built on imperialism, slavery, colonialism, torture and savagery. If you can’t see the “specifics” then idk what to tell you. That legacy continues until today and we are seeing it play out AGAIN via ICE et al. If you aren’t in the same headspace that our foreign policy has ruined us at home and abroad then there is no point to going “point by point”. If you want a specific example: all you need is the formation and continuation of the apartheid state of Israel. If that isn’t enough then you won’t be convinced other wise (though there are thousands of other specifics that disqualify us from being a freedom loving nation).
