    If Americans wanted Americans to care about the US, including treason against it, they shouldn’t have voted to sell it, including its people, off wholesale to the capitalists.

    I’d be angry about treason to our nation, if our nation didn’t put many to most of us into positions of subsistence solely to further enrich our oligarch class that legally bribes and captures state and federal government.

    This is where celebrated and encouraged core values of greed and sociopathy, oh I’m sorry “rational self-interest” and “rugged individualism” lead. Betrayal on all sides. No society, just people out for themselves, and those with power/capital inflicting their will on everyone else. The bed we’ve made.

      That’s kind of literally what the American Revolution was about, at least in the north.
