POV

One's perception is everything. Is it reality? Yes! Your perception is your reality and that's the problem. The time has come to bring reality back and crush perception. The reality is our country is a fraud. We are all hypocrites. We live on the perception that freedom is our founding principle. Yet we continue to deny even the most basic freedoms to all of our citizens. We celebrate holidays like Independence Day and Thanksgiving but both are built from myths and lies that we continue to perpetuate today. Our founding fathers were men who began the myth of meritocracy and freedom for all and we still hold them up like gods. These men are responsible for the biggest farce since organized religion. They rival one another for top dog of planetary destruction.

Reality check!

We killed millions of native peoples and stole their land.

We kidnapped, enslaved, and murdered millions of Africans for free/cheap labor.

We tell ourselves we are the beacon of freedom and democracy...see above.

We live by meritocracy when reality reflects nothing of the sort....see every statistic available.

We invade other countries (and call it liberation) without being attacked or threatened...see every war since WWII.

We deny our bloody past with a vengeance.

We care more about consumption than lives...see the third world.

So get off your ass and ask some questions, read some books, and listen to the oppressed.
