More seriously I can't hold both the position that the US government is irredeemably untethered from the will and interests of its people and US citizens are the most propagandised people on earth and that most everyone in the US is irredeemable. So I believe that anyone born in the US probably has a harder time cultivating empathy and reasonable opinions than the rest of us but with re-education and a change in material conditions would probably be perfectly fine people living fine lives and not hurting anyone more than anyone else, and the average US citizen can't really be held accountable for the actions of the US state.
I mean, the US government is like, 10,000 people who can reasonably said to be significantly influenced by another 100,000 people.
You can't both hold that the US State is a dictatorship of the bourgeois that acts for capital regardless of and against the will and interest of its citizens and that all/a majority of US citizens are irredeemable and responsible for the actions of the US state.
I hate the government not the people 😤

:10000-com:
Not prioritizing the lives and comfort of US citizens over literally everyone else on the planet: Anti-imperialism, cool and good
Actively wishing death on each and every individual privileged? enough to have been born in the imperial core: not what we're about.
