      Rude but true. But a lot of us are waking up from the fever dream we were fed. “We are the good guys! We are the best at everything because we work hard! That’s why we’re the richest, because we are the goodest and the most protecc”

      And then you grow up and you learn we built an empire on slavery and exploitation, ourselves even being exploited, so that some dumbass greedy fucker can live in a gold and marble palace and fuck stolen children and throw their bastard newborns into Lake Michigan

      It’s not a real country it’s all a pyramid scheme. We wouldn’t wake up until they went too far. It was always rotten underneath they just had enough wool over our eyes

        The mask of humanity fall[s] from capital. It has to take it off to kill everyone – everything you love; all the hope and tenderness in the world. It has to take it off, just for one second. To do the deed.
