Ep. 47 - The Fake American Dream

“If we aren’t being taught how to grow our own food, how to take care of ourselves and our families, how to live without the need for huge governments, banks, and corporations - as our ancestors once did - then we aren’t being educated; we’re being indoctrinated to be dependent and subservient to the system.” - Gavin Nascimento

The “America Dream” means a lot of things to different people. But historically speaking, the American Dream meant creating your own self-sufficient life with little/no 3rd party intervention. But over the past century and a half, the foundation of the dream to create a space to live freely has turned into us becoming trapped in the hamster wheel of the corporate America machine with less time to invest our individual selves and personal needs.
