In response to 9/11, the United States government went on a killing spree of gargantuan proportion, killing millions of people, and the number of them who had anything to do with 9/11 was zero.
Why weren't Americans outraged? Why weren't even Iraqi-Americans and Afghan-Americans outraged? These monstrous acts of genocide did not even dampen the sense of greatness and superiority that American leaders have- as do the American people. How do you maintain that in the face of such atrocities?
Even prior to that, America's criminality should have been evident. But after that? When we all found out together that Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction, that everything that was claimed to justify launching that war was a lie? How do you brush that off and go on with your delusion that your country does people a favor by attacking them to liberate them and get them to where they get to vote? Because: getting to vote is the be-all and end-all, and if your loved ones had to die in order for elections to be held in your country, it was well worth it, and you should thank us.
Every day, I see articles about the dire situation in Afghanistan, with up to 90% of Afghans at risk of starvation. They say it would cost a "staggering" $2.4 billion to stop it. That amount is staggering? That amount is a small fraction of the daily budget deficit that the United States government runs up every single day. Then, there is $9 billion in the Afghan government account that we could turn over to the Taliban. And if we don't want to give them the cash, we could buy food with it and give them the food. But, some first want guarantees about letting girls go to school, and if some of those girls die first of starvation, so be it. You see, when we had our stooges in power, we were all about helping the Afghans, because after all, we did it for them. But, these reports are not even accompanied by appeals to contribute to the International Red Cross. Our government and media are content to let the Afghans starve, now that our stooges are out, because the reality is that we don't give a smoldering shit about the Afghans and never did.
The demonization of America is complete, where even the regular people have been converted into bloodied little demons who go along with their government's crimes, completely ignoring the wanton and grotestque atrocities that America commits, again and again in the conduct of its profane and criminal wars. Yes, the molding of Americans is complete to where just about everybody is bloodied. It's a matter of culture now. That is the American culture. And it's hardly surprising that actual physical bloodyness is at its highest peak. The savagery of America's foreign policy has spilled over into blood on the streets in a magnitude that has never been seen before. They decay, the decadence, and the descent into hellishness is with us, and all we're waiting on now is the ultimate economic collapse. But, I don't expect our government and media to have the same attitude if it's Americans who are starving. They'll demand that we do something, which will be to print even more money. But, what happens when the money just plain dies?
