American Fools

“Nobody in the world, nobody in history, has ever gotten their freedom by appealing to the moral sense of the people who were oppressing them.” - Assata Shakur

The oppressors in this case are the uber-wealthy, for whom we spend every day desperately foisting more & more power and wealth onto in some fever dream that for some reason they'll thank us by giving us one of their many, many yachts. As long as we - the overwhelming majority - are completely obsessed with putting more & more of them in power, income disparity will only be greater & greater until we're officially a 3rd-world country. Awesome.
