As an American I hope your last paragraph is true. Ive come to hate America, better yet American, not the land, it's clear people, nature, and humanity are low on their list. Another country should break our fake image of worth. I hope someday I can leave America or this place changes completely.

If another country doesn't break our fake image than another politician will come along to use us people and motivate us to live for false hope that continues to rape our lives.

It goes deeper than politics... It's our businesses and business culture too. As well as the people that normalize the over-consumption consumerism lifestyle.

I've experienced both sides, mainstream and street life and they are both the same... The successful in both cultures use the same abhorrent methods to gain power.

You guys are doing a great job of that on your own 😥

To the rest of the world maybe, but the hyper patriotic lunkheads here in the States legitimately believe in American superiority.
