    I don't hate America. I hate the ruling class, government and system we are stuck living in. But none of them represent the people. I like to think there are still good people here despite how bleak and hopeless the future looks for this country.

      This might be a weird take but: you can't separate the ruling class and government from the American concept. America is the state. It's too fucking massive to be anything else coherent. The idea of "one America" is fundamentally disconnected from the actual communities that inhabit its stolen land. "The People" don't live in America, they live in Appalachia, or the Pacific Northwest, or NYC. The People exist locally, where America exists above and separate from them.

      My dude you don't even gotta think that, like millions of people took to the streets this summer in the largest protest movement this country has ever seen

      I feel the same way. I feel like there actually is a great version of America somewhere in here that you can almost catch sight of, whose potential is waiting to be unlocked.

        That's what I believe. Our government, politicians and ruling class do not represent us in the slightest. There are still good people here. The anger at the government and ruling class are absolutely justified.
