Every single American has been brainwashed from birth by the most effective propaganda machine in the history of humanity. Every single American carries brainworms designed to defend global capital and perpetuate a genocidal empire, and reflexively repeat them whenever challenged. Every single American has internalized these defenses to such a degree that they think they're their own thoughts. Yes, even the so-called "American left". Yes, even Bernie. Yes, even AOC. Yes, even your favorite Youtuber.

If you're American, just shut the fuck up. The only way America can help the world is by dissolving itself, period.

    What if your testicles were in your buttcheeks and they scaled up to the size of your buttcheeks and your scrotum was just an empty sack that flapped in the wind?

    I’m American and I say: Every single American has been brainwashed from birth by the most effective propaganda machine in the history of humanity. Every single American carries brainworms designed to defend global capital and perpetuate a genocidal empire, and reflexively repeat them whenever challenged. Every single American has internalized these defenses to such a degree that they think they’re their own thoughts. Yes, even the so-called “American left”. Yes, even Bernie. Yes, even AOC.

    Haha now you have to reject your own argument!

    I’m an American and this is true, this person’s right. Which, since I’m American, invalidate’s OP’s point. Checkmate.

        Not doubting there's good lads out there, but I thought this post was referring more to your average politicized American

        Lordon has kind of a similar ideology to Amber but without the dumb takes, if you catch my drift. I remember reading a gloriously vitriolic article of his in the Diplo about the disconnect between workers and middle-class liberals on the issue of the EU.

    I love being told how useless Americans are by someone living in America themselves.

    Going by your post here, why even bother to do anything or try to fight for a better world? We're useless anyway cause someone on Chapo chat said so.

    Education unbrainwashes people and it shows your lack of faith in the material if you were to think that a literate American Marxist is still especially brainwashed.

    You are preaching to the choir because we encourage America to die every day. As Americans.

        I mean, if it’s true that the reason Americans are so resilient to socialist propaganda and receptive to capitalist propaganda is because they are subconsciously aware that they benefit from imperialism, this may sadly be true

    Has any document done more damage to the world than the American constitution?

    I hate to rag on Americans but I've always felt they were like real people piloting an armored suit of social reflexes.

        To some extent it is. Much less so the poorer your country gets. Isolation is the greatest tool of oppression - the greater it's threat the more you'll compromise on your identity to fit in.
