    The USA was born out of genocide, grew through slavery, and has continued to prosper by economic and military exploitation of every country they can. They are an oligarchy now, and always have been. Their constitution only allowed rich white males to have a say, and that has fundamentally not changed in 250 years.

    This viewpoint has only become more clear and undeniable over the last few years.

    The destruction of the U.S. empire will accelerate as they stab more of their allies in the back.

    I have family and friends in the U.S. that I will never be able to see again.

    I have seen the steady rise of fascism in the U.S. since the assassinations of the Kennedys, MLK, Malcolm and all the black nationalist leaders, Nixon’s killing students, Reagan and the Bushs arming Contras and Al Queda, the systematic oppression and destruction of labor unions and the middle class, the consolidation of all power into the corporations’ hands. We are seeing the mask drop further now, but the dead skull of imperialism has been there for everyone to see, even when the blue faction is in office. They all serve capitalism, and not the people.
