THE U.S. EMPIRE - FOLLOW THE MONEY
Caitlin Johnstone
Liberals will often say you are privileged if you don’t care who wins the US election.
Actually, you’re privileged if you DO care. You think people in Gaza give a fuck whether Biden or Trump is genociding them?
You think the U.S. empire will be any less murderous and tyrannical with a (D) or an (R) over it?
Saying democracy is in jeopardy in America is like saying beach front properties are in jeopardy in Wyoming. Your country is run by a few billionaires and government agencies. You don’t get a real vote, and even if you did you’re all propagandized anyway. It’s not a real thing.
It’s actually pretty obnoxious to live in the imperial core and yet spend most of your political energy fixating on a presidential race whose outcome will have no effect on the murderousness and tyranny of the imperial war machine abroad. Focus on opposing the empire itself.
