I prefer the old crusty people who either sat by and did nothing or played an active role in the economic inequality in the US becoming worse than pre-Revolution France.
Imagine being more greedy and self-absorbed than Louis IVX, but just one of many oligarchs whose only motivation is your own enrichment even if it kills the entire planet.
Not a single FDR among them. Not one that cares enough to try to stop it.
Elon is one of the biggest sacks of shit on the face of the planet, but he wasn’t wrong when he said people have become cyborgs. Everyone voluntarily plugged into a hivemind that exists to sell us shit we don’t need and manipulate our emotions to keep us engaged.
We voluntarily became the Borg. We hard wired ourselves into an ever-present stream of voices that kills critical thinking and independent thought. And now we’re living in the world created by a river of ignorance everyone drowns in.
A lot of the founding concepts of the US from the Declaration of Independence were inspired by earlier native treaties among indigenous nations. Even the highest ideals the US was created to strive for had roots in Native American ideologies.
The entire concept as a nation for over two centuries has been to take in immigrants from everywhere and create a melting pot culture where everyone makes new lives together.
The idea that the US is a white ethnostate is staggeringly ignorant of both history and present reality.
