No I don’t but I’m tired of hearing Americans try to absolve themselves by pointing out the very obvious cause, as if identifying the problem of wealth inequality turns enemies into friends, or suddenly and magically means my country isn’t being threatened by half of the US population. Sorry, some of them are too far gone, and no amount of enlightenment is going to change the fact that I can’t trust the country that they control right now. I’m allowed to call that out and I’m allowed to be pissed.
And at the same time I’m allowed to cheer when I see angry Americans that are fighting back. I know there are good ones but I don’t think the ones that play the rhetorical absolution trick are owed anything for pointing out something that we all already knew, that we had been saying for decades, and that doesn’t do anything to help now.
