as a unit- us- our country flails with a corporate owned government making ridiculous foreign policy decisions for myopic short term gain for certain businesses- with bloated military/contractor appropriations & increased arms deals, normalizing obvious human rights violations & leaving irradiated battlefields- while at home wealth disparity is on the rise- we have failing banking/infrastructure/education/social services/viability- eating very ill sterioded animal flesh and other pesticide laden factory farm foods so that every third kid born [in the U.S.] after 2000 is slated to be a diabetic- all of this amidst a climate crisis that we had a large hand in creating.
is it a wonder that the rest of the world might see a chink in the armor?
do we want war and its accoutrements to be our main export? what can we sustain & why?
U.S. Weapons at War
while i agree that the absurd level of citizen-apathy and dearth of resolve that one encounters standing in line or sitting in traffic can be a real buzz kill for any citizen-activist: i do assert that a strong citizen driven grassroots movement propelled easily/inexpensively/democratically/transnationally online- could be the thing that saves more than just the world's richest 1%.
